Chapter 6

"Avy come down na!" Mom said.
It was already 5:30 when mom called me to go downstairs.

"Coming mom!"

I was wearing a champagne backless draped slit thigh satin dress and then paired with black lace-up high heels.

As soon as I went down I saw mom, dad and ate Liz on the sofa. They told me that nagpaalam din pala si Cole sa kanila! What.

It was already 5:53 when Cole came. He knocked on the door and nagpaalam ulit siya kila Mom and Dad and Ate Liz. Gosh!

Paglabas ko ng bahay ay nakita ko ang car niya. It was a Ford Mustang! OMG! This guy is freakin' rich talaga!

At bago pa ako makapasok sa kotse nya ay kinindatan pa ako ni ate. Luhhh

Ang bango niya pati yung car niya! I was busy admiring the smell and inside of his car when naramdaman ko na kinakabit niya yung seatbelt ko! GOSH! Akala ko pa nung una yayakapin niya ako, ang assuming ko naman!

He was driving, nakababa ang bintana namin para fresh air. I asked for his permission to open the radio. And pumayag naman siya. So I opened it and GOSH! The first song that played was Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks!

'And I've got all that I need,
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh, and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

We stop to get something to drink
My mind clouds and I can't think
Scared to death to say i love her'

pagsabay niya sa kanta. Nararamdaman ko na nag blush na ako kaya tumingin na lang ulit ako sa bintana. I felt the wind in my face. I felt free... again. Nagulat pa ako ng bigla niyang hinawakan ang thighs ko! Gosh! He caressed it with his thumbs.

Medyo nagtagal pa kami sa byahe dahil natraffic kami.

Nakarating kami sa place na kakainan namin. Ambiance pa lang romantic na. Gosh! Dinala niya ako sa isang place na wala masyadong tao. Nakapag early reservation na rin pala siya. We were sitting in a nice, big garden. Nakaupo lang kami sa cloth na may maliit na table surrounded by candle lights. Wow! Ang ganda ng ambiance.

They served us steak. Ang sosyal ah. There was music playing in the background. We talked as we ate.

*Play "Heaven Knows" para mas feel mo yung scenario... HAHAH

"Thankyou" I told him

"You're welcome" natatawa niyang sabi.

"I mean it. I never felt so genuinely happy and free like this simula nung nabully ako. Hahaha" I tried to fake a laugh.

He just stared at me.

"Makatitig ka naman ah" I joked

"I feel you, Avy. I can see how you try to be strong but deep down... I think you're really broken."

I smiled bitterly. I never had someone knowing what I truly feel except for my family of course.

I am always there for everyone in my life. I know what they feel but sometimes, I just wish they knew what I felt too...

After that small talk. We finished eating.

A song entitled "Like my Father" by Jax plays as we dance slowly. His hands are on my waist. And nakakapit naman ang kamay ko sa may batok nya.

We stayed in that position, dancing...

Sa sobrang feel namin nang pagsayaw sayaw namin ay di ko napansin na nakasandal na pala ang ulo ko sa may dibdib nya. At nakayakap na ang kamay nya sa akin.

"I'm sorry" he said

"For what?" I replied.

"My brother"

"Wala yon. Hindi naman ikaw ang may kasalanan kung bakit nalaman ng buong school na ampon ako eh" I said as I giggled.

"Still..." he said worriedly

"Cole. I said it's fine. Di mo kasalanan." As I said that he just stared at me again.

We stayed silent looking into each other's eyes while still hugging each other for a couple of minutes.

Until he broke the silence between us.

"Avy. You do know that I...like you. Right?" He said habang halatang kinakabahan sya.

"H-huh" Di ko alam sasabihin ko talaga!

"Avy. I like you. Can I court you?" He said

WHATTTTT?!?!!?!!? GOSH!

"I'm sorry to tell you pero... I'm going to America after this school year. Doon na ko magco-continue na magstudy."

"I don't care Avy. Distance won't be a hindrance for our relationship" he said.

"HAHAHA Dami mong alam. Magpaalam ka kay dad noh" I said laughing at him.

"Honestly..." napakamot sya sa ulo nya.

"I already told your parents. Hehehe"

Ha?!?!?!? GOSH!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!

" Hey, don't be pressured. If hindi ka pa makapag-decide, I will wait for it patiently because I know that love can wait." he replied.

"Cole..... uhmmmm........ I l-like you too but I am sorry because I'm not yet ready to enter a relationship. Are you willing to wait till I'm ready?" sabi ko nauutal pa nga ako.

"Yes, Avy. Kahit gaano pa katagal yan, i'll wait." he replied.

After that ay umuwi na din kami. Hinatid niya ako sa tapat ng house namin. Habang nagpapaalam ako sa kanya ay lumabas ng bahay si Ate.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Tanong ni Ate Liz kay Cole.

"Uhmm... Hinatid ko lang po yung kapatid niyo kasi delikado po na umuwi ang babae mag isa sa ganitong oras."Sagot ni Cole.

"Ikaw naman Avy, bakit di ka na lang nag pasundo ha?" Palabirong tanong ni Ate Liz.

"Hmm ... Ate tara na po sa loob. Bye Cole,thank you sa paghatid!" Sambit ko. Nagpaalam at nakaalis na si Cole.

Pagpasok ko nakita ko agad sila Mom and Dad na nakangiti habang nakatingin sa akin.

"Kamusta kaya ang love life ng anak ko? Sinagot mo na ba si Cole?" Tanong nila sa akin. Pero parang seryoso lang si dad habang si mom naman ay ngiting ngiti.

"Mom..Dad.. Actually di ko pa po siya sinasagot, but sabi niya he's willing to wait for me" sagot ko.

Isa sa rason kung bakit hindi ko sinagot si Cole ngayon kasi ayaw ko na masaktan muli ang puso ko dahil lang sa lalaki. Yes, tama kayo ng narinig sa muli. Sa dati kong school nagka-boyfriend ako pero after ng ilang buwan nalaman ko na dalawa pala kami na minamahal niya ng sabay.

At mas nasaktan ako lalo sa nalaman ko na si Eve yung sinabay sa akin. Si Eve ay isa sa pinaka matalik kong kaibigan. Halos lagi kaming magkasama sa pag gawa ng mga bagay. Di kami mapaghiwalay non dati.
Ok
"Ah okay. But nevertheless, did you have fun kanina?" Mom said.

"It was alright... Anyways mom, dad, ate. I'll go to my room na" I told them.

"Buenas noches Avy" (Goodnight Avy) ate said.

When I got to my room. I changed into my pajamas. Then I texted him.

To: Cole
Thanks for tonight.

From: Cole
No worries. I liked our first date.

To: Cole
Date? Excuse you Mr. Americus. It was a dinner not date.

From: Cole
Sure 😉

To: Cole
Whatevs.

Luhhhh. Feel na feel talaga itong si Cole.

After namin mag usap, tinamaan na ako ng antok at natulog na ako. Syempre kahit in love dapat maganda parin kaya need ng beauty rest HAHAHAHA.

Ps. Char lang di ako inlove noh. It was fun being with him. Pero parang di ko pa kayang magtiwala ulit.
