ONE LAST KISS

CHAPTER 14

That night.... is unforgettable.

It is amazing.

Wonderful either.

We had so much fun by just walking along the streets, I am beside him, looked so small because of his tallness.

I realized... I've never been this happy since Mom died. I've never been this smiling tho. This night feels like.. I am me again. I am back on my old self.

In my entire life... I did never expected that.. I will be happy again. Because.. I thought.. Mom is the only person who can make me feel just like how I felt right now.

But.. Nicholas came.. and.. made me realize that I'm wrong. Happiness can't be found only in one person. It can also be found on other people. And that person... either you already knew... or you don't yet. All you have to do is.. let those people enter your life.

Hindi pwedeng... Isang tao lang ang nagpapasaya sa atin. All you have to do is wait and be patient. Dahil.. dadating ang tamang panahon. And that right time.. will make you happy again.

I also checked my accounts that night. And right... He did sent me a messages everyday. Walang araw na hindi niya ako kinakamusta. He even.. make our picture as his profile on IG. It was taken earlier. Only half of our faces can be seen. Behind us... Crescent moon can be seen also.

Really... This guy.. I promise... I will love him for the rest of my life.

The next day... I did go back to school.

Everyone's gazes pierced on me. It was expected anyway. They were talking upon seeing me making my way. But good enough that Nicholas fetched me. He walked me into my class.

He said goodbye then went to his class. Mukhang ayaw pa nga niyang umalis.. siguradong takot siya na baka umiyak na naman ako dahil sa mga sinasabi ng iba. And he don't like the idea of me being alone. But we have no choice. Hindi pwedeng hindi siya papasok at magbabantay lang sakin.

"You're my boyfriend Nicholas, not my bodyguard." Pabiro kong sabi. Bahagya siyang natawa at lumukot ang mukha.

Oh God. He's being a kid now. So clingy.

"Talaga bang okay lang na aalis ako? Hindi ko gustong umalis at iwan ka dito.." bulong niya.

I made a face. " Alam kong miss na miss mo na ako Nicholas kahit kasama lang kita kagabi. But you have to attend your class. Later... We can..." I paused and look at him. He's good at it, reading my mind.

Nakita ko kung paano kumislap ang mga mata niya.

"What about.. study together?" He suggested. I pretended to think about it. I just don't want to look so excited about it. When In fact, I really don't care where we'll go as long as we are together.

"Okay. That'd be nice." I giggled.

He landed  his hands above my head as he chuckled. "Ang ganda mo." He murmured.

I suddenty felt tingling sensation as he whispered that. He's really... so romantic. He don't know how that words of him made me feel butterflies.

Ngayon ko lang ulit narinig ito. He's always been like this. Randomly, he would say how pretty I am. And that is.. I never expected I'd want to hear everyday. Hindi ko alam na.. gusto ko palang marinig ito.. not until he said that. 

Kinulit ko lang siya hanggang sa umalis na siya. Ngayong wala na siya... Gusto ko nalang ulit na bumalik siya. I want his presence all the time. I wanna be with him.

Dahan-dahan ang bawat hakbang ko papasok sa room. Rinig na rinig ko ang ingay nila kahit nasa labas ako. Now that I reached the door, with them looking at me, bigla silang natahimik.
