Clarity (A SANDRO MARCOS FANFICTION)

16. The

SANDRO

The truth is, I wanted to save myself from future heartbreaks. Airi dating Edward made me want to ask her to be my girlfriend. I didn't like the jealous feeling I felt when she told me about Edward or the thought of her being a mother with Edward's sperm.

It should have been my sperm. Ew. It sounded so wrong and not so me.

"I asked her out." I told Simon that afternoon. He was awake while Airi was still fast asleep in my room.

"Who? Airi?"

I nodded. "So you love her?"

"I don't know Simon. I like her though." I replied.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Have you finally given in to AJ?"

"Are you going to tease me now Simon?"

He laughed. "No. I'm going to watch you fall in love and have a broken heart."

I made a face. What a supportive brother I have. Airi suddenly walked in the living room while hugging her panda bear and came up to me. She smiled at me and sat on my lap, embracing me. Simon and I looked at each other, puzzled.

"Sinasagot na kita Sandro. Tayo na. Girlfriend mo na ako." She muttered, clinging to my neck.

"What?" I mumbled.

"Girlfriend mo na ako. Sex na tayo." She replied.

Simon's eyebrows raised. "Guess she said yes to you so she can use your body for sex," He stood up, grabbing his jacket. "Be good at it kuya para hindi ka hiwalayan." He snickered and left, closing the door behind.

"Ang sama talaga ng ugali ni Simon." Airi muttered.

"Wait Airi. Are you really saying yes to be my girlfriend?"

She looked at me cutely. "Oo nga. Ayaw mo?"

"No. I just can't find it hard to believe you said yes before midnight. A while ago you were even widening your eyes when I told you to answer me before midnight." I reasoned.

Airi bit her lips. "I gave it a thought and said maybe I could try. Maybe we could try. If you have a long term goal for us then that would be better. Kung wala, lilipat ako kay Vinny at pipikutin ko siya. Magpapabuntis ako sayo tapos lalasingin ko siya tapos maghuhubad ako at tatabi sa kanya para realistic." She joked.

I made a face. "Walang break-break Airi."

"Ah talaga." She replied sternly.

"We should seal the relationship with a kiss." I told her.

"Hindi sex?" She asked, grinning.

I rolled my eyes. "We'll get to that soon."

"Excited na ako. Magsusulat ako ng sex positions na gusto ko." She giggled.

Somehow, Simon's line echoed in my head.

She said yes to you so she can use your body for sex.

I really hope it wasn't the sole reason. I mean, I'm up for it but the relationship should not revolve around sex and intimacy.

Airi and I went out to celebrate our relationship. It feels unreal but she's here right now, holding hands with me as a couple and not as a friend. We were wearing our University of London hoodies and Nike shoes as a couple and not as a fake couple who are just making fun of our exes.

"I wonder how it feels like to eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant." She chirped as we walked in the streets of London.

I chuckled and kissed her hands. "Well, we are about to find out Airi."
