Exception [PSLU #2] [GL]

Portia's POV

Miss Veronica just suddenly walked away after she said that gusto ko man siyang habulin pero buhat ko parin si Miss Elise.

Natatawang lumapit pa sakin si Miss Daniella at Miss Venice at bahagya pa akong tinapak nito sa balikat, halatang nangaasar sila at gusto nila ang nakikita nila. They are not helping at all!

"Go get your girl, kami na bahala kay Olivia." Tumango ako at dahan dahan kong isinampa si Miss Elise sa likod ni Miss Daniella.

Pagkatapos kong gawin yun at magpaalam sakanila, I run as fast as I could dahil tuluyan nang nawawala sa paningin ko ang pigura ni Miss Veronica. When I saw her, she was about to cross the street but my hand landed immediately on her to stop her from walking.

But she just pushed me away.

"Miss Veronica, please it is not what you think." I pleaded and tried to hold her again but she just keep on shoving me away from her.

"Don't you dare to touch me!" She angrily hissed but I didn't budge instead I pulled her into me and hug her tightly so she wouldn't get away from me.

Oh I never thought that I will be doing those cringe moments from movies and books that I had read but here am I, being whipped for my professor.

"Please don't be like this, I don't want you to be asleep at night knowing that we are not okay."

She was still trying to broke the hug but I didn't let her do her thing, inis naman niya akong pinaghahampas sa braso pero ininda ko lahat ang sakit.

"I don't like this," She started to cry in my chest. "I don't like the way you hold her."

I also don't like how I started to hear her being this weak because of me, I should think twice more before making a move this time. I don't want to be selfish because I knew that this time it is really indeed my mistake.

"I'm sorry it was a insensitive move of mine, it was my fault. I should have called the others to help me. I'm so sorry for hurting you." Mas lalo siyang umiyak and it was painful for my hear her sobs.

"Did she called you?" Tumango ako at narinig ko ang buntong hininga niya. I don't wanna lie to her just to save my ass.

"Do you...still love her?" She asks in a unsure manner and that I knew she was having so many thoughts tonight. But I wanna gave her an assurance that she's still gonna be one that I will choose until the end.

Sunod sunod akong umiling. "There's a difference between love and like, Miss Veronica. I liked her I admit it but with a D." I carefully explained and tried to emphasize everything.

She started to calm down at ibinaon niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko, I gently patted her back as she continued to sniff from crying. Her hands went on my nape and her heavy breathing could be heard because she's obviously getting tired.

"She's your first and I'm honestly getting scared with so many what ifs." 

Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap sakanya at tinitigan siya ng maigi mata sa mata, I want her to feel how sincere am I when it comes to her. Just because I was starting to get to know the side of Miss Elise it doesn't mean that I will bounce my way back to her.

I meant when I said na hindi ako magiging marupok sakanya because there's no choices to begin with. Either way they both don't deserve to feel like they are an option..

She's the only choice that I am willing to take over and over again and that is Miss Veronica. 

I honestly don't know where it started, all I know is that I woke up the next day, feeling something real for the first time in my entire life. She made feel that I could forget about my nightmares and that I deserve the love that I had been dreaming about.
