"Quatro!"
She screamed as he chased him. Wala siyang sapin sa paa habang hinahabol niya ang binata. The fine with sad kisses her feet as she run towards him.
"Good morning, sweet." Quatro greeted gently na tila ba walang ginawang kagaguhan.
"Uuwi na tayo!" Desisyon niya but Quatro just smirked and walk closer towards her.
"Nah-uh. Isang linggo rin akong nagtitimpi, Carma. I really hate sharing what's mine, might as well cage you here."
Napaawang ang labi niya sa sinabi nito. Quatro's insane. Oh, she should have known better, he's a fucking Benjamin!
"Nag-aaral pa rin tayo, Quatro."
"It's Saturday today, bukas Sunday, on Monday it's holiday and I asked Tito Ace to suspend the class for Tuesday to Friday. I've got it covered, sweet. Don't worry." He said cooly.
Nalaglag ang panga niya sa sinabi nito. He fucking did that?! Just because he hates sharing? He's insane.
"Baliw ka na!"
Quatro's face become serious. Napalunok siya at napahakbang patalikod ng umabante ang binata.
"And whose fault is that, Carnation Margaret? I was fucking controlling myself not to be smitten by you but you...."
She gasped when he gently cupped her jaw. He lean closer tracing his pointed nose on her jaw.
"...you made me lose my control. Kaya panagutan mo 'to."
Napalunok siya at sinubukang dumistansya pero hindi siya pinayagan ng binata. He was holding her tightly as if she'll runaway any second from now.
"W-what are you talking about, Quatro? P-pinilit pa nga kitang ligawan ako and how can you be smitten over a short period of time?"
Her heart feels like it was on a race. Mas mabilis pa siguro ang pintig ng dibdib niya kompara sa mga kotseng nasa karera. Only Quatro can make her feel that way. No wonder why she did a stupid stunt just to have him.
"Short period of time? Four years, Carma. For years of stopping myself not to fell in love with you because you're my friend... but you little witch, you made me lose my control."
Her tears fell from her eyes on his confession. Her heart ached in much happiness. After all the chase, finally things settle on the right places.
"Hindi mo ako iiwan?" She asked.
"Why would I? Did you hear my confession? I'm in love with you, Carnation Margaret."
Napalabi siya para pigilan ang pagngiti, everything is just too good to be true.
"You won't leave me you any reason?"
"Wala akong makitang rason para iwan ka, Carma. Ikaw ba iiwan mo 'ko dahil gago ako?"
Napangiti siya at hinawakan ito sa mukha.
"Minahal kita dahil 'dun."
"Gago ako, Carma pero hindi kita gagaguhin."
"Paano ka magiging gago kung hindi ka mangga-gago?"
Quatro hissed. Lumapit ang labi nito sa kanya at bahagyang kinagat ang pang-ibaba niyang labi.
"I told you not to cuss."
"Bakit? Na-turn off ka ba?"
Ngumisi ang binata sa kanya.
"I'm turned on actually. Fuck, I miss your body so much." He said in much control as he buried his face on her neck.
"T-then let's do it."
"Nah. I'm still courting you. Hindi pa pwede."
"Sinasagot na kita, Quatro Skeilar."
Mula sa pagkakabaon ng ulo nito ay umangat ang tingin nito sa kanya. His eyes was twinkling in happiness.
Piningot nito ang ilong niya na ikinabigla niya.
"Alam mo ang rupok mong babae ka. Isang linggo ang palugit ko pero hindi pa tayo inabutan ng isang araw sinagot muna ako."
Hindi niya alam kung matatawa siya o ano. Namumulang tinampal niya lang ito sa dibdib.
"Bakit? Ayaw mo ba?"
"Gusto. Gustong-gusto. But I still want you to see my effort. Hindi mo pa nga nakita ang mga moves ko, lagat kasi palpak."
"I've seen your effort, Quatro." She muttered.
Quatro's brows furrowed. Nahihiya oa nga siya sa dalaga kasi napuhalan siya ng dalawang kulugo. All his planned went fail, ni wala nga siyang napatunayan dito. Parang nakakahiya dahil ang bilis umu-oo nitong si Carma.
"What do you mean? Wala nga akong ginawa.."
Her brow raised. "Are you sure?"
Kumunot lang ang noo niya. Anong ibig sabihin nito?
"Plan A. You wanted to give me a fastfood because I'm craving for it."
"Pero naunahan ako ni Sebastian." Reklamo nito.
"Plan B. You set a surprised serenade on my classroom."
"But I've entered the wrong class. Tapos nakita ko na lang na kinakantahan ka na ni Kim."
"Plan C. You're wanted to give me a bunch of ballons that's heart shaped because you knew that way back when we were 14, I wanted to but a heart shaped balloon but my parents wasn't able to buy." She said.
"But as I was about to knock on your door. Kenz' dog bark at me. Sa takot ko ay napatakbo ako kaya nabitawan ko ang balloons. Nilipad lahat sa ere." Maktol ng binata.
"Plan D. You set up a candle-light dinner in your garden." Patuloy niya.
"Pero biglang umulan kaya basa lahat ng 'yun. Hindi na kita tinawagan because who the fucks wants to invite his girl on a dinner in a wet set? It's embarrassing."
"Plan E. You sent your helicopter with a banner to crossed in the Benj U. And the banner says, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Pero hindi mo nakita kasi napuwing ka. And that Sebastian is the reason."
Napangiti na lang siya at napailing.
"Plan F. You rented a billboard in BNJMN Entertainment to flash my face there with a caption, Be my girl."
"But you weren't be able to see it because on our way home, madadaanan na sana natin ang billboard, Kim video called you and all your attention is on him."
"Plan G. You're planning to take me on the King and Queen's death anniversary."
"Yes, but I wasn't allowed to because you have to be my girlfriend muna."
"See? Hanggang plan G pa lang 'yun but you did great."
"I did? I failed, Carma. It was all fail."
Umiling siya.
"It's the effort that counts, Quatro. For me it wasn't a failure, you did great, baby."
Quatro sucked his own breath on what he heard. He cupped her face and kissed her.
"Have you heard my Plan G-Y? I still failed but it doesn't matter, I have Plan Z left."
Kumunot ang noo niya.
"What Plan Z?"
"Plan Z. Marry me."
