The Lost Passion (BB FanFic)

Back Again

*** HIGHLAND'S BAR AND CAFE. 20:15.

DIANA SWAYZE’S POV:

"Miss, c'mon. Isa lang. Wag ka nang pakipot." This stranger is really annoying. I already turned him down for about 20 times. But what do you expect on a gorgeous lady like me while in a bar? Sit around the corner? Na- uh. I should be flaunting my beauty right? But I'm not in the mood.

"Excuse me, but can you just fuck off? I said I don't want to." I turned my back on him and continued drinking my margarita. I bet he's staring at my bare back now. Who wouldn't?

I heard a chuckle. Nice. Reminds me of him. "Here's my number. Mukhang wala ka talaga sa mood para magsayaw. Sa susunod nalang. Just call me, I'm here almost every night." He gave me his number that he wrote on a table napkin. I kept it, there's no harm if I would.

*I'm at a payphone tryin' to...*

My phone is ringing. "Hello?" There was silence on the other line. I waited since I don't recognize the number.

"Diana..." It's him. "Let's talk. Please. Give me another chance." Makakatanggi pa ba ako? His voice makes me long for him even more. Kaya pupuntahan ko siya. "I'll wait for you at our condo." Then he hung up.

 In 15 minutes, dumating ako sa condo namin. It's been a week since I left. After nun, di muna kami nagkita. It's just so painful.

"Are you here?" I called out for his name in the darkness. "Where are you? Alam mo naman na takot ako sa dilim." Kaya nga takot na takot ako na mawala ka sa akin. Because you are my light when everything is off. (Nakuha ko pang bumanat sa oras na to)

The lights turned on. At first it was blurry, probably because of the sudden brightness.

"I'm happy you're here m'lady, Very happy.. Let's go inside? I've prepared dinner for two." I'm happy to see you again. I hope we stay like this forever. Yung siya ang makakasama ko sa bahay palagi, wala nang iba.

"Uhm.. Na-"

"Later. Let's eat first. We'll talk about everything after our dinner." He held my hands. The warmth. How I missed it. It's very soothing.

(dinner)

"Yung ano..." I don't know how to start. I wish my brain and heart would unite even just for tonight. "Nangyari last time.. Should we talk about it? Or should we leave it like this?"

"What do you mean leave it like this?" He's now pouring wine into my glass. "No. We should talk about it. Hindi ko hahayaang masira tayo."
