Warm Nights

8. KISS ME

"I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows
so hold me in your arms
My heart's against your chest
Your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes
But they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget
I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved."
-Ed Sheeran

Chad

Nakita kong lumaki ang mga mata ni Yana nung narinig niya yun mula kay mommy.

"Hehe Ikaw Cheska ha...kung anu anong kinikwento mo sa mommy mo ah" nakangiti at nahihiyang sabi ni Yana

"Eh akala ko talaga girlfriend ka ni kuya ate eh. Tsaka kahit sino naman po makakita sa inyo at tatanungin napapagkamalan talaga kayong mag syota"

"Nako Yana...sagutin mo na kasi ang anak ko."

"Mom...please"
I bowed my head in embarrassment

"I am just kidding. You both look good together anyways that is all"

"Sorry.."
I whispered to Yana and tumango lang ito at ngumiti

"Magpagaling po kayo tita ah I will pray for you"

"Well I am really trying, hija. And thank you. This came unexpectedly but whatever will be, will be. Kumain na ba kayo?"

Yana and I stared each other awkwardly at isang tingin lang ay malapit na kaming matawa. We are trying so hard to hold our laugh together.  Isang tingin lang at gets na namin agad. She bit her lips and stared at the ceiling.

"Tapos na po" she answered mom. Tapos na nga. Tapos na kaming mag kainan eh. 😅

"I would like to hear kung saan kayong una na nagkakilala and Cheska told me matagal na pala kayong magkaibigan. I am sorry Yana ha hindi kasi ako updated kay Chad at sa mga kaibigan nito masyado kasi siyang busy at matrabaho eh. Na mimiss nga namin siya sa bahay."

In my mind, it is so surreal to hear that she misses me. But she is the reason why I moved out in the first place. Anong gagwin ko doon kung hindi naman kami nagpapansinan? There will only be a lot of tension and dead airs like the usual. The silence is so loud. That is why I moved out. Wala naman kasi siyang ginagawa eh.

"Uhm nako tita ang saya saya nga po alam niyo ba nagkabanggaan lang kami nyan three years ago eh"

I smiled upon hearing that. She clearly remembers. My mom's smile is very different tonight. Gusto niya ata si Yana. Tsaka wala ako masyadong close friends na babae aside kay Mandy noon na dinala dala ko sa bahay nung kami pa.

I just listened to Yana's talkative voice as she tells our little meet cute to mom. Thank God she warmed up easily. Hindi ko pa ata kaya na mag isa na pumunta dito eh buti na lang talaga.

She didn't tell some details of course but mom is very happy that I helped her during that one fateful rainy evening.

"Nako bata pa lang yan si Chad eh napakamatulungin na yan. Lagi nga niya inaagaw si Cheska sa daddy niya noon kasi gusto niya siya mag alaga dito."
   

"Yes po I can really vouch how helpful he is."
