Brooklyn Ash

Days passed after that hot night between me and Stephen, and since then he's been cold towards me. Saakin lang talaga 'cause his behaviour with other people was nice I mean just like his usual approach noong kararating lang niya dito sa agency.

Simula rin nun ay lagi akong naiirita lalo na pag naglalambingan sila ni Abby, well it's given that I felt that way dahil nga gusto ko si Stephen at hindi na ako magmamaang-maangan na sasabihin na hindi ako nagseselos dahil balik-baliktarin man ang sitwasyon ay halatang nagseselos ako though I don't show it to everyone kay Lj lang. She already knew what happened, nagtanong kasi siya kung saan ako nagpunta at bigla na lang akong nawala sa bar. Tinukso-tukso pa niya ako lalo na mas bata saakin si Stephen, though wala naman issue sakanya iyon.

"I think I'm going to vomit BA" saad bigla ni Lj na nasa gilid ko. Kalalabas lang namin sa banyo ng underground parking lot ng FfMez, at eto ang bumungad saamin na nagpakabog sa dibdib ko.

Two people hungryly eating each other's lips. Kung hindi ko sila kilala ay hahayaan ko sila sa ginagawa nila at hindi papansinin but seeing the person I like lapping someone's lips hurt the hell out of me. Nakita ko na siyang nakikipaghalikan noon but that time was different 'cause I don't know him and still don't have this feelings for him yet.

Bakit kasi ang bilis mo siyang nagustuhan Brooklyn eh?!! Singhal sa sarili.
Kaya ngayon ay nasasaktan ka sa nakikita mo sa harapan mo.

You let yourself fall for him so suffer from this and his cold behavior towards you, inis na sambit sa sarili.

"Fck BA, ilihis mo ang tingin mo sakanila bago pa makita ni Stephen iyang luhang nagbabadyang lumandas sa pisngi mo." Mariin na utos ni Lj at doon lang napansin na nagiinit na ang sulok ng mga mata ko sa nasasaksihan.

Fcking weakling Brooklyn, fcking crying over someone who doesn't care about you and just wanted you on their bed.

Bumaling ako sakanya at pinilit na ngumiti.

"What are you talking about Lj?" Kaila ko at nagsimulang maglakad palayo sa dalawa. Hindi na sinilip kung huminto ba ang dalawa o hindi. As if hihinto sila kung kaonti na lang magtalik na sila roon.

"BA, why don't you just forget about that feelings of yours for him kung ganito naman ang mararamdaman mo everytime you see him with girls, I mean si Abbly lang naman ang madalas niyang kasama lately. And as your friend, I don't want you to feel this....this pain. You don't deserve this BA, there is someone out there who'll treasure you and will love you." Marahan niyang saad at niyakap ako sa braso bago pinatong sa balikat ko ang baba niya.
"Stephen doesn't deserve you and your feelings BA." Dagdag niya bago humiwalay saakin. Binigyan niya ako ng matamis na ngiti at hinila na palabas ng elevator.
"Come on, we have work to do so give me that beautiful smile you always have BA."
Hindi ko napigilan na ngumiti sakanya, I'm lucky to have a friend like her who will do everything to cheer me up in times like this.

"Thank you." Mahinang kong sambit
Maybe she's right but for now I need to focus and do my work. Thankfully na hindi si Stephen ang photographer ko dahil mismong magazine company ang nag-assign ng sarili nitong photographer sa gagawin namin photoshoot ngayon.
Maybe that's why he's busy eating Abby's lips awhile ago, singit bigla ng isip ko na agad ko naman pinilig ang ulo nang maalis iyon sa isipan ko.

Ilang beses akong huminga nang malalim para marelax ang isip ko at ang puso kong kanina pa kumakabog sa nasaksihan.

"Relax Brooklyn, this will pass, let's just think that this is only a petty feelings you have. It's not that important, so avoid him at all cost Brooklyn Ash and forget about that hot night with him." Kausap sa sarili buti na lang ay mag-isa ko rito sa dressing room dahil iniwan na ako pagkatapos akong ayusan.
