Offered Conviction from the Past (Justice Series #2)

CHAPTER 15

JS2: ZARI'S POV.

Magkaharap kami ni Kaden habang hindi ako makatingin ng diretso sakanya. Piniproseso ko pa sa utak ang sinabi kanina at ngayon palang sakin nag si-sink in ang lahat.

"Hindi ba masyadong mabilis?"nag angat ako ng tingin kay Kaden at nagkasalubong ang nanunuyang tingin niya.

"Gusto mo ba bawiin ko? Pwede naman--"

"No..no, I mean..I was just overwhelmed. I didn't expect you to say yes t-that fast.."he stutter.

I can feel his nervousness that I didn't also expected, Kaden Amadeus Chua the famous playboy in Arellano University is nervous in front of me!
Pero ako rin naman...at tingin ko normal itong sa akin dahil first time ko.

Oo, tama. First time ko 'to.

"Are you serious when you tell them you're my girl or you only did that shoo them away?"he ask in a serious tone.

We had an eye contact, and only by that I felt a butterflies in my core. From where I am sitting right now I can see the sparks in his eyes.

"I like you Kaden..and I think it's an enough reason to be your girlfriend,"

Napakagat labi siya bago ko namataan ang pagtaas ng gilid ng labi niya at nang hindi na makontrol ang sarili ay tuluyan siyang napangiti habang diretso ang tingin sakin.

"Is this happening for real?"

Pinaglaruan ko ang mga daliri at napayuko. Is this happening for real?
I can feel my heart beating so fast..is this for real? I really like him, do I? Kasi bakit ko nararamdaman 'to tuwing magkasama kami? Kahit ilang metro pa ang layo namin sa isa't isa.

"I think so.."I chuckle and look up him again.

Nanatili siyang nakatitig sakin habang may multong ngiti sa labi bago siya tumayo at nilapitan ako. He squatted and reach for my hands before he look up me.

"Are we already official? You're really my girlfriend now?" he ask softly, letting me feel the tenderness of his touch on my fingers.

He interwined our hands together and sit next to me. I can almost hear my heart beat, when our face are only inches away from each other.

"I want my first relationship with the man I am comfortable to be with, a man that can accompany and will stay in my side through my ups and downs, and it's you Kaden..."

"..you were always there whenever I need someone to lean on, you were there since the beginning," I added and point the tip of his nose.

I reach for his other hand that made his mouth hang open a bit, I smile at myself before I look up at him again.

"I am quitting as your law buddy."

"I love you..." he cupped my cheeks and kiss my forehead.

I love you.

I nodded at him with a smile on my lips. Of course I do too.

"I like you.."

Nagkatinginan kami at pinagsiklop niya ulit ang kamay naming dalawa bago siya tumango at muling hinalikan ang noo ko.

"I am willing to wait Zari... until you love me back.." he whisper on my ear.

"Thank you Kaden.."

When I hear a couple exchanging sweet words to each before I felt cringe that I want to vomit. I even told myself that I will never get enter a relationship until I become successful in life because I am still proving myself...but look what I just did, what I just felt and what I just had in my body right now.
