Admiring at Midnight

Chapter 14

"Beckha, before I'll kiss you again. Give me a permission. Just say yes to me now, please."

Those eyes. Bakit ba ang dali kong nahulog ng ganito kalala sa kanya? Siguro ganito nga talaga ang pag-ibig, hindi mo malalaman kung saan 'to titibok. Walang insaktong oras.

At hindi mo rin namalayan na kung sino pa 'yong pinaka ayaw mo ay 'yon pa ang tumama sa 'yo.

Maraming rason para hindi ko dapat magustohan si Gideon. He was kind of strict and cold, but my heart still chose him. Pumikit ako saglit saka dumilat din agad.

I smiled at Gideon. Damn it! Bakit ba parang hulog na hulog ako sa lalaking ito? Pakiramdam ko sobrang tagal na namin magkakakilala dalawa.

Hindi ako nag salita agad. Tahimik lang ako.

"Hey, talk to me..."

I face Gideon, who looks so worried and serious at the same time. He still held my hand. This man, I am so in love with him too. But.... I realized something.

I smiled at him sadly. "Feelings can change quickly, Gideon. If you like me today, tomorrow you might not."

"No. It's not going to happen, Beckha. Maybe for some people who don't know what true love is, feelings change and fade for them easily. All I want for you is to trust me." he said softly.

"But...." I can't find an exact word to say to him.

"I know, mabilis lang tayo nagkakilala, but it doesn't matter. What matters most is our mutual feelings for each other."

"Siguro takot lang ako na baka balang araw ay iiwan mo rin ako." pag amin ko sa kanya.

He caressed my hand gently. "Do you think I was like that? Try me.... I date to marry. If I have a plan to leave you one day, sana hindi na kita niligawan pa. Nilandi nalang sana kita kung gano'n nga."

"Gideon!" I snapped and rolled my eyes.

"What now?"

"Sige na nga, Gideon." pag suko ko.

His face went closer to mine. "Hmm? Bakit parang na pipilitan ka lang?"

"Yes na nga, sinasagot na kita." I said shyly, then I looked away.

Sinagot ko na siya. It is means officially in a relationship na talaga na kaming dalawa. Sobrang lakas pa ng kabog ng puso ko ngayon. Well, lagi naman sa tuwing kasama ko siya.

The sunset rose, and I saw how beautiful it was. Amber and gold end the day beautifully.

Perfect timing. Pero sana kung ano man 'yong pareho na nararamdam namin ngayon ni Gideon ay hindi man lang mag laho pag dating ng panahon.

He smiled widely. It seems like I saw how sincere his feelings were towards me.

"Totoo ba?!" he asked me happily.

I just nodded and smiled.

"Finally! Thank you!" he hugged me tightly right now. "I'm so happy that you're mine now. I promise you that I will always be a good boyfriend to you. I will do everything just for you, love."

Hinarap niya ako ngayon nang marahan. Nakita ko pa kung gaano nag ningning 'yong mata niya. Nang ngumiti siya sa akin ay ngumiti rin ako.

Gideon kissed me again gently.

Shit! Boyfriend ko na si Gideon ngayon？Hindi parin ako maka paniwala.... Parang nanaginip lang ako sa hating gabi.

Sabay kami ni Gideon pumasok ng school. Sobrang aga ko talagang gumising para makaabot pa siya sa klase niya. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko parin halos maisip na boyfriend ko na talaga siya.
