When I Met You (GXG)

CHAPTER 44

"Thanks." I said to him, awkwardly. This night is full of awkward moments, napansin niya na siguro na ayaw kong makipag skin contact sa kaniya. He's adjusting but he's not trying too hard I think.

"Can you tell me more about this phobia of yours? Aren't you still healed?" he asked while chewing the stake in his mouth.

"Still in progress, it's been years pero mahirap padin. I feel safe around you naman, but I don't feel like touching yet. Maybe if mas makilala pa kita, it won't be hard anymore." the truth is, the recent scenery of what happened to me, triggered me again.

Axton was the one who started it, when I saw him again, I feel like he's everywhere. I know this is crazy but while nagpre prepare ako kanina, natatakot ako na baka kasabwat niya si Axton at baka saktan niya ako bigla. Na baka nagpapanggap lang siya maging mabuting tao. That's how he triggered my phobia again, I hate this.

"It's fine, I can wait. I understand naman kung ganyan ang kalagayan mo. My ex girlfriend, Cals, also experienced trauma from her abusive father. We go on in our relationship, I reminded her a million of times in a day that I am for her and she is for me. She believed it, but at the end of the day, when she was fully healed, may iba siyang hinanap sa akin." he opened up, which made me surprised.

"O- oh... sorry about that." I said with all sincerity.

"I hope you're not the same as her." he said like a kid whose wishing at the shooting star.

"Huh... Well sadly I can't promise that. I can also use you Ricky. Besides we have a huge age gap, I can use you like a brother. Your age is my kuya's age." diretsahan kong sabi sa kaniya.

"Woah, that hurts a lot. Ang sakit mo na, Ly. You see, I tried to open up to you tapos iku kuya zone mo ako. But anyways, I will accept if you use me." he said which made me frown.

"W- why?" nagtataka kong tanong sa kaniya.

"Because I like you. You're different from the other girls Ly, the way you care for other is what makes you different. I saw you crying in your locker the other day because one of your patient died, buy when I called you to treat another patient with trauma you didn't even hesitate to get up and show yourself from the scene kahit na bigat na bigat ka na. I like that in you Ly." I can feel all the sincerity while he was saying all of it.

"Yeah, I am different from other girls because I like women. I honestly can't see myself loving a man at the moment. I'm still healing from the wound in the past that I experienced. I'm sorry, Ricky." there I said it. I expected him to be sad, but he smiled.

"We are all healing in this world, Ly. Even me, the ex girlfriend I told you is still in my heart. I made her the love of my life, kaya mahirap na bitawan siya. But now I find myself adoring you, so I thought maybe this is the first of my moving on phase. If that woman of you didn't come back with you, I'll get you sabihin mo sa kaniya." his statement made me chuckle.

I like this guy.

He can be my kuya. eme
