A Decade Of Drumbeat

Chapter 33: Friends

Lyde, I'm doing my make-up! now I answered him for his 6th call.

Did you eat?

Yeah. I said, still focusing on my eyebrows.

I will drive you today.

Dylan will come.

Then who's the most important, me or him? naibagsak ko yung hinahawakan ko. I looked at him. what the heck are you saying? you both are my friends.

F*ck that friend. I stopped putting lip gloss to see his reaction.

Nakabusangot ang mukha habang nakahiga sa kaniyang kama. He is still topless and that messy hair is alluring, shesh!

You are asking me kung kumain na ba ako eh ikaw nga hindi pa kumain.

I will, right now. But I need to check you first.

Go and eat, stop disturbing me daddy! parang tatay kung umasta!

I will drive you today. ceiling nalang ang nakita ko sa screen. Narinig ko rin ang tunog ng plato, kakain na ata siya.

I said Dylan will come. Stop being jealous Lyde, he is my friend like you. sabi ko, nagpipigil ng tawa.

Tangina! paulit-ulit, Leigh? he get his phone at dito na ako natawa nang makita ang mukha niyang hindi maipinta.

You're not my boyfriend, neither my ex boyfriend. he should be thankful that he is not an enemy for me.

Ex love.

Tss.

You don't love me?

Before or now? kinda interesting huh.

He laid on his bed, smirking while staring at me with that eyes again. hmm, let's start with...before.

Of course yes! I said without any doubts.

How about...now? napangisi tuloy din ako sa ngisi niya.

I don't know.

Come on! pangungulit niya.

I don't know nga!

Paanong hindi mo alam? he sat. tell me, please.

What if I will say that I don't love you?

It's just a "what if".

Paano kung hindi kita mahal, anong mararamdaman mo? matatanggap mo ba? taas kilay kong tanong.

It doesn't matter. My heart will get hurt but this heart will still love you. My feelings for you is the most important thing. I will do something to make you love me, Leigh. at mukhang alam na alam niya talaga ano ang gagawin para mahalin ko siya.

No need to do something Lyde, this heart belongs to you perpetually.

So what, do you love me?
