Xavier

She looks so perfect... The way she smiles,laugh and tell jokes, i regret everything kaso wala eh nangyari na ang nangyari.

Nag lakad na kami sa italiannis, pumunta sa two seater na table and umorder. Biglang may tumawag kay lalay tapos sabi niya kailangan niyang sagutin yun kaya lumabas sya sa restaurant-

I took that time to reminisce how i fell in love with her, i remember everything like it was yesterday.

I was failing miserably in my classes, nag seek ako ng help sa tutoring services ng University and ang na-assign saakin si Georgina Lucy. Sabi ko ang ganda naman ng pangalan parang pang mayaman at maganda, pero i was wrong.

Nung bumukas na yung pinto i saw her shiny chocolate brown hair, and beautiful face kahit puro acne. Matangos ilong, yung mata niya not too big and medyo chinky, rosy cheeks and pink lips. Sobrang simple niya, yung damit niya halata mong hindi siya marunong pumili ng damit, she's chubby pero who cares?

'Ang ganda niya' i thought to myself. And it was weird kasi hindi naman ganun mga type kong mga babae.

Her face was make up free while mga naging ex ko parang coloring book na yung mukha, tapos si georgina simple lang manamit while sila naka heels pag nanonood basketball practice ko. She was the complete opposite of what my exes are.

I don't know kung bakit cinocompare ko siya sa mga ex ko.

"Hi my name's Xavier," sabi ko sakanya while flashing out my smile. She smiled a beautiful smile showing her perfectly aligned teeth.

"You can call me Lalay."

And that's how it started, nag ka crush ako sakanya and i would always talk to her sa hallways pero pag nandyan mga kaibigan ako i shun her away.

Kaya medyo naguguluhan si lalay saakin, sa isang tutor session...

"Am i your friend or not? Kasi parang kinakahiya mo ko sa iba mong kaibigan." Sabi niya.

"Of course you're my friend!" I exclaimed. "Eh kasi lalay... You dont understand! Ako pipintasan nila sa locker room-" cinut off nya ako

"I understand, I shouldn't be your friend dahil makakasira sa reputation mo." She then stood up and went out the door.

And that was the day na i realized na I couldn't live without her, that was also the day that i went to my friends and told them na i love lalay. At first they were skeptic, but then they realized na she was good for me.

They started helping me out sa pag ligaw kay lalay, and nung nanligaw ako kay lalay may secret admirer siya. Putting chocolates sa bag niya and such, my friends put me up to it na magpanggap ako na ako yung nag bibigay kay lalay nun since wala namang name and akala din ni lalay na ako yung gumagawa nun.

Eventually nakuha ko loob ni lalay and na-fall nadin siya saakin, at first she was skeptic dahil head captain ako ng basketball team and she was just a normal student na mataba daw at matigyawat who is not even pretty enough. But do you know what i told her?

"You are beautiful just the way you are, i love how chubby you are, i love every single one of your imperfections and kung may mangaaway or mananakit saiyo i will protect you from them."

Little did i know na i should protect her from me, i cheated on her. What's worse is bestfriend niya pa. How did it happen? It was a night after celebrating our win sa finals when si lalay umuwi agad and hindi sumama sa pag celebrate dahil may work siya.

Me and my friends got drunk and andoon si kate, she kept talking to me while i drink my shot. I was still sober ng onti i know what i was doing,saying or thinking.

She was flirting with me but in my head i was thinking about lalay, I don't even remember what she was saying kasi ang daldal niya.

"Xave, hatid mo naman ako sa condo ko. I don't have a ride eh and I don't know anyone here besides you."

That's bullsh*t dahil she slept with almost all of the members of the basketball team, pero i had to send her off safely dahil bestfriend siya ni Lalay. Hinatid ko na siya sa condo niya then pinapasok niya ako then the rest was history.

Kate was nothing but a past time, sakanya ko nagagawa mga hindi ko nagagawa kay lalay. I couldn't disrespect lalay, di ko kayang bastusin siya. She was far too precious for that, pero i hurt her. I developed feelings for kate pero wala papantay sa pag mamahal ko kay lalay.

I lied to her and went behind her back, and here she was... Walking back to our table giving me a chance to have a proper closure.

She was always an angel-she was and still is the perfect girl any guy could ever ask for.
