Kabanata 11

I gently breath out to calm myself. I never really  thought event like this can still make feel overwhelmed. Pinaghalong kaba at saya ang nararamdaman ko at hindi ko inasahan iyon. Ang nasa isip ko lang dati, kailangan ko lang malagpasan ang gabing 'to. Hindi kasama sa mga inasahan ko ang  ganitong pakiramdam. 

Tinignan ko ang pagdating ng kasama at matiyagang pinagmamasdan ang postura niya. Would it be so bad if I'll say he look dashingly handsome in his Armani? One look at his well-favored face and I already noticed how he looks even good with his new clean cut hair. I bit the insides of my mouth, not really wanting to overly react at the ravishing sight.

Seriously, Margarette? 

Even at the smallest and tiniest details of his face and his gestures made my heart throb. I stopped myself from staring at him when I realized how bold it was for me to do so. But then it was too late cause I already caught him staring back at me too. 

Halos mahugot ko ang hininga ko sa paraan ng paninitig niya sa'kin. His brown eyes piercing right through my innocence made my fingers tremble right in front of him. And there I knew he found it amusing when I saw him smirking.

Skyler Lorenzo Zobel...

Growing up, I felt like I've witnessed enough romances and love stories in my life. Even those puppy love and stories about crushes. Their usual description for perfect or ideal guy. Maybe because I came from a big family. And I've heard alot of stories from them, especially my Tito and Tita's. Well, my cousins too like Juvan, Sage and even Aries. 

Though they don't have same sentiments and experiences but it's actually the same for me. Looking back, I had an eye for someone too during highschool pero nawala rin 'yon. And right there, I thought that I won't waste my teenage years by giving too much attention for things like these that are clearly temporary. 

Dahil ganoon din naman. Papalit palit ng crush o nagugustuhan. Ngayon ay iyong isang matangkad, bukas makalawa ay iyong isang chinito naman. Kung hindi ikaw ang papalit palit ay ikaw naman ang papalitan. See? That's why I don't understand why people my age would risk getting hurt at a young age. I'd rather streched the remaining strings of my patience and wait for the right time, the right age, the right momentum for the right person, right? Not to mention how many times I ignored good looking guys in the campus just because I stand firm on what I believe- that everything is really temporary and feelings will eventually change.

Matagal kong pinaninindigan 'yon. Hindi kailanman natibag dahil ganoon ako ka sigurado. At hindi ko inakalang dadating ako sa puntong kukwestyunin ko ang matagal ko nang pinaninindigan dahil lang sa iisang tao. 

Sinubukan kong tapatan ang paninitig ni Lorenzo sa'kin, trying hard not to show him how I really felt inside but I failed. Kaagad akong nag bawi nang tingin nang maalala ang huling eksena namin kagabi.

"How have you been?" 

We were already outside Santa Clara when Lorenzo break the silence between us. Nagkanya kanyang alis na kami kanina. Nauna na sina Sage, Juvan at Chantal. Ngayon ay papunta na kami sa boutique na tanging si Lorenzo lang ang nakaka alam.

I glanced at him, napalingon rin siya sa'kin. Ang awkward, nahiya tuloy ako bigla. 

Idinaan ko nalang sa pamemeke ng tawa saka tumingin sa view sa labas. "Eto, ayos parin naman. Medyo nababagalan lang sa oras." Kita kong nilingon niya ako. He cleared his throat before he speak, I smiled.
