Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

Eighteen

SAMANTHA's POV

Sandro: Here, masakit pa?

Samantha: Medyo.

He was gently applying the ointment on my wound. We are still inside his car and he stopped by at some random street near my place.

Samantha: Why do you care for me?

He slowly looked at me after putting a bandage on my hand.

Sandro: To be honest, I really don't know. If you are asking yourself the question, why do you love me and you can't answer it? Then I am questioning myself too. Why I care and why I am attracted to you. I tried avoiding you, Samantha. But believe me, I can't. You know, it's like gravity that is pulling me closer to you.

Samantha: You're giving me butterflies, Sandro.

Sandro: Really? Because I feel the same.

Samantha: What do you mean? That's impossible, may girlfriend ka.

Sandro: I heard you sing and play the guitar. And you gave me feelings that I can't explain. I haven't felt that with Lex.

Samantha: H-how do you know- wait?! You were there the whole time?! You heard me sing and play a guitar. W-why?! Paano, bakit? Bakit ka nandon?

Sandro: Because I want to see you, Samantha. I wanted to be with you!

Samantha: But you love her.

Sandro: I do, yes!

Samantha: You're confusing me, Sandro. It's impossible na mahal mo sya at may gusto kang iba. You said you don't like me.

Sandro: But I'm starting to like you. I don't know!

Samantha: No, you don't like me. You're just confused just like me. And you just said it, you love her! "Like" is a vague feeling! How would you like me? I don't know who I am. I don't know if galing ako sa maayos na pamilya or baka kriminal ako or-

Sandro: Stop it, Samantha. You're talking non-sense. That's too impossible to happen. So what kung mahirap ka or galing ka sa hindi kilalang pamilya, I don't care!

Samantha: Fine. Enough with me. What happened between you and Lex? This is not just a misunderstanding, right?

Sandro: I hate to admit it. I-i can't tell you.

Samantha: You loved each other, Sandro. Don't you think you're cheating on her?

Sandro: I'm not doing anything wrong. Yes, you're here with me but that's it. I hid you to everyone. Even Lex didn't know that I'm visting you before in the hospital. We're friends Samantha, nothing more nothing less.

Right, of course. F-R-I-E-N-D-S. Ako lang naman tong umaasa. And even though he hurt me many times now, I'm still chasing the man in my dreams.

Samantha: What's this big problem between you two? Come on tell me. Paano ko kayo pag-aayusin dalawa?

Sandro: You don't have to do that.

Samantha: Why not?

Sandro: I made a stupid mistake. I'm just waiting on her to broke up with me.

Samantha: What mistake? Please, tell me. Why do you need her to break up with you?

Sandro: Because I called your name when we were making love!
