Cait + Bea (Caitbea Oneshots)

the more you hate, the more you love

Bea's POV

You know what they say, "The more you hate, the more you love".

And that's my love language, especially with my teammates. I always make sure that I get to bully them every chance I get.

But if I were to choose among them kung sino pinaka masarap asarin, two names automatically come to mind. Bel and Cait.

First si Bel because she's a crybaby and second, Cait, because she's...well she's cute.

The thing about Cait is she rarely gets mad so even if I bully her countless times, you'll never get a reaction out of her, except maybe an eye roll or a sarcastic smile.

Though that's what I love most about her, how calm and collected she is. It's so easy with Cait.

Like we can eat at a restaurant without saying anything to each other, just stay in and watch Netflix at home for hours or go to road trips with just the sound of my Spotify playlist in the background.

It might seem boring for some but I still wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

She's my safe place.

But to set things straight, we're not together. Just friends who obviously want something more but are too afraid to say anything.

Parang kami na parang hindi. Gets ba?

We never really confessed to each other but I can feel it in my gut.  Syempre alam mo naman kung gusto ka ng tao diba? If she tries to get to know you and even the smallest things about you.  It must count for something right?

But if we ever we reach that point, I would still want to keep our relationship private. I've seen what Deanna had gone through with her past and present relationship and I don't want it to happen to us.

I'm a very private person and so is Caitlin. I don't want some stranger meddling in our relationship or some shipper who can't take a hint and will still make it a point to pair me up with other people just for the "kilig''.

Sana tinanong niyo muna ako kung sino gusto ko diba?

Now I'm about to go to Caitlin because she left her keys inside her condo and now she's stuck outside her door. I'm picking her up so she can stay at my house for the night then we can sort it out tomorrow morning.

"What happened, Cait? How can you even forget your keys?" I asked her jokingly.

"I'm not in the mood, Bei. This day is the worst, Umaga pa lang, sobrang bad trip ko na sa training, di ako makapatay kahit na anong gawin ko.Then nung lunch, sobrang haba ng pila sa Starbucks kaya di na ko nakabili ng coffee and just when I was about to go inside my car, I stepped on a freaking bubble gum. And now this, I just want to rest and forget about this day."

Sorry pero nakangiti lang ako while she was ranting about how her day went. But can you blame me, ang cute niya kaya. Nakakunot pa yung kilay the whole time, naalala ko tuloy SI Deanna kapag nasa court. Ganun na ganun ang itsura hahaha.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Oops, I got caught. Pray for me please.

"Ah wala, iniisip ko lang kung gaano ka kamalas today. May balat ka siguro sa pwet noh? I don't think I want to be friends with you anymore, baka mahawa pa ako sa kamalasan mo" Pagbibiro ko.

And how I wish I could take it all back.

Nangigilid yung luha niya. It hurts my heart seeing her like this.

"Not funny, Bei."

"Hey Steaks, I'm just joking."

"Well, it's not a good joke. Alam mo naman kung anong pinagdaanan ko today pero parang wala lang para sayo. Kahit makinig ka lang sakin, masaya na ko dun. You're the first person I called because I know you're the only who can make me this day a little less shitty but I guess not. Bahala ka na nga dy-"

Then I hugged her tight while caressing her hair.

"I'm so so sorry, Cait. You know me, I can never say those things about you."

Then she slowly reciprocated my hug and rested her head on my chest.

"I know."

"It's okay Cait, what you're feeling is valid. Sorry if I became insensitive. Although you were wrong about one thing.

"Huh?"

"I was listening kaya! You said you had a bad day sa training kasi di ka makapatay ng bola, you weren't able to get your coffee sa SB dahil sa haba ng pila, you stepped on a bubble gum and  you left your keys sa condo."

"Sorry for taking it out on you, Bei."

"No need to say sorry. Check my mini fridge sa room ko later. I bought you your favorite Caramel Macchiato, iced. I also ordered pizza so we can eat while watching Stranger Things."

"Thank you, Bei! You're the best."

"I know. But what can I say, malakas ka sakin eh."
