Be With You

15

"Is that it? No kiss before you leave? Even I told you that I like you?"

I stopped at my seat when Quen spoke at my side. We already arrived at my house and here he is teasing me.

After he confessed that he had a secret crush on me, I didn't dare to talk or even react.

What would I say then?

I mean when did it even start!

But I don't have the courage to ask him. Nahihiya ako! And he told me that he will not force me to have a relationship with him.

He just wants to tell me...

Tapos? Anong gagawin ko? God. I remember how I promised not to have any relationship with anyone and just to focus on myself.

And Quen is a big temptation for that.

"What the hell are you saying, Quen?" I narrowed my eyes at him and pouted. "Kanina mo pa ko inaasar..."

"I'm not teasing you." he chuckles and reaches for my hand again. My gaze followed it and I realized how big his hand was against both of mine. "Uhm...okay maybe a bit." I tried to snatch my hand back but he just laughed and held it tighter. "Kidding...anyway, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow...why?" I asked, brow creasing. It's Sunday and I think I don't have anything to do. Oh, I forgot that I need to start my designs for the debut.

"I have a practice game tomorrow." he said and leaned his back on his car window while still holding my hand. Like he always does, his thumb caressing my palm.

And I felt the familiar tingling in my stomach again.

"Uhhh..." is the only thing I respond to. He wants me to watch him? What if our friend will know about this? What will they think?

"Don't worry our friends will not be there...no one that we knew will go there. If that's what concerns you..." he smirked like he was reading my thoughts.

"It's not that..." I said in a small voice.

"I know what you're thinking and like I told you I will not force you on anything that you're uncomfortable with. I just want you to know that I really like you and if you don't want people to know about it that's fine with me." he was staring at me the whole time.

How can he manage to look at me without getting conscious? Ako nga na hindi sigurado sa nararamdaman ko nahihiya pa sa kanya but he's the one who confess but he can look at me directly in the eye.

"I'll go..." I whisper and pursed my lips. "I don't have anything to do tomorrow so it's fine..."

"Really?" he sounded so excited. He moved to his seat so he was closer to me.

"Yeah...I remember you asking me before if I can watch your game..." I added, I think that time is when I'm still dating Jasper?

Did he already have a crush on me at that time?

"Ah yes and I think this is the first time you will watch me play." His other hand reach for my cheeks and pinch it.

"Hindi ah! I already watch you play before!" I defended. Hindi nga lang madalas pero ang alam ko nakapanood na ako before ng game niya. "Who's the student who doesn't watch you play? You're famous."
