This Unexpected Love

Chapter 20

Worth It

"No Den we won't come with them, quit it." I pouted. Unfair! Kase naman magba-bar ulit sila Jen later and niyaya niya na ko pero hindi daw pwede sabi ni Kevin because of what happened last night. Hindi narin naman nagreklamo sila Jen kase wala naman daw may kayang umangal kay Kevin.

Tumatawa nalang sila Jen at lumayo na sa amin para mag-swimming na habang nandito kame ni Kevin sa beach chair at kasalukuyang pinipilit ko parin siya. Malapit na ulit ako pumasok at magiging busy na ulit ako kaya gusto kong todo na yung fun.

"Please Kev. Please..." But still hindi siya tumitingin saken, nakatingin lang siya sa phone niya at umiiling which means no. Bright idea! Hinawakan ko yung face niya para humarap siya saken. Nagulat pa siya sa ginawa ko.

"Please Kev, please I promise hindi ako aalis ng aalis. Please..." I said while pouting and with my puppy eyes. Umirap si Kevin at huminga ng malalim.

"Fine." Yes! Sabi ko na madadala ko lang to sa pagpapa-cute ko eh hahaha. Tumawa ako dahil sa hitsura niya.

"Thank youuuu" sabi ko pero humarap ulit siya saken.

"But you can't wear your crop tops and very short shorts." He said at nalaglag ang panga ko. What? Eh ano ng isusuot ko? Bar yon duuuh. Okay then, kesa naman di siya pumayag. Gagawa nalang ako ng paraan.

After a few minutes ay napagdesisyunan kong magswimming na din kase it's getting hot na. I removed my cover up and revealed my hot red two piece. More revealing to kesa sa triangl swimsuit na suot ko kahapon.

"I'll swim na ha." Sabi ko kay Kevin at nagsimula na kong maglakad.

"Damn it." I heard Kevin pero naglakad lang ako hanggang sa may lalakingg humarang sa dinadaanan ko. He's handsome and tall, pero mas matangkad si Kevin.

"Hi Miss, I'm Karl. I just noticed parang kilala kita, are you from Manila? From Southcrest University?" Tinignan ko yung lalake sa harap ko and mukha ngang familiar siya.

"Uh yes. From Southcrest ako, I'm Denise." I said and we shake hands. Sanay na kong nakikihalubilo sa mga tao kase nga dati when I was the CSG president pa in Westbridge ako lagi ang kumakausap so it's not hard for me.

"Sabi ko na di ako nagkakamali eh. I always see you, I study on the same university so yeah." He said at para ngang kaklase ko siya sa isang subject. Yeah this is Karl Ramos, kaklase ko sa Business Math.

"Oh yeah I remember you, kaklase kita sa isang subject right? You're Karl Ramos am I right?" I asked him at sa ngiti niya palang I know that I'm correct.

"Yes I am and you are Denise Millena Sera J. Tan" i was quite shocked when he say my full name.

"You always caught my attention that's why I know. I'm sorry if you'll find it weird but I kinda stalk you and I badly wanna talk to you tuwing nasa school kaso nahihiya ako kase baka di mo ko pansinin..." He said at medyo namumula pa yung pisngi niya habang napakamot siya sa batok niya kaya natawa ako ng konti. Boys' reactions when they confess.

"It's okay and hindi naman ako snob so you could always approach me and I'm not famous naman para di mamansin" he suddenly shake his head na parang dumi-disagree.

"Yes you are famous. Sa school many people are talking bout you. Ang daming gustong manligaw sayo and pati girls gusto kag kaibiganin. You are known sa school na sobrang ganda tapos sobrang bait pa, you're not aware that you're famous on our school?" He asked me while I'm in a shock. Me? Famous on our school? Oh snap it. Maybe hindi naman. My cheeks turned a bit red dahil sa sinabe niya.

"Well I'm not and thanks by the way for informing me" sabi ko.

"You're so beautiful and tama sila you're so kind and di ka naman suplada, can we be friends?" He asked me at halatang kabado siya kaya tumawa ako para naman mabawasan kaba niya.

"Sure, who am I to refuse d'ba?" We shake hands again as I felt a hand on my shoulders and Karl was quite shocked.

"I thought you're already going to swim?" Kevin asked me. I quite blushed dahil naka-akbay siya saken at tinitignan yon ni Karl. Oh this is awkward.

"Uhm... Uhm Kevin this is Karl, my schoolmate and Karl this is Kevin my..." I don't know what to say. What? Friend? Husband? Boyfriend because that's what his friends know? Whaaat?

"Boyfriend. I'm her boyfriend." Then they shake hands habang natulala lang ako at si Karl halatang intimidated siya kay Kevin. Sino bang hindi d'ba? A few minutes later nagpaalam na din si Karl and pumunta na kame sa beach to join Kevin's friends.

"This is why I hate you wearing bikinis ugh" I hear Kevin mumbled but I can't understand what he says kaya nagkibit balikat nalang ako and we enjoyed swimming. Tumawa lang kame ng tumawa because of Drake na nagpapa-cute sa isang maganda naman talagang girl. Parang may lahi siya and she's really pretty.

"You suck Drake" natatwang sabi ni Irvine while we all laugh habang parang badtrip na badtrip si Drake at binato niya ng sand si Irvine kaya we end up throwing sand at each other. Nabato ko si Drake sa pisngi kaya target niya daw ako and I see sand papunta saken kaya I closed my eyes and wait for it to land on my face but it didn't. I opened my eyes and first thing I saw is Kevin's chest. Nakasangga siya saken.

"Drake stop hitting her" sabi ni Kevin kaya nag-surrender ng kamay si Drake at tinawanan na naman siya. I wanna laugh at him so bad pero pinigilan ko kase kawawa naman siya.

"Oh guys! We'll be meeting some of my friends later. Darating sila later eh." Jen said at tumango naman kame. Nagkwentuhan lang kame hanggang sa nagkaron ng sari-sariling mundo. Jen and Irvine cuddling, Drake talking to the girl na type then Kevin and I na nakaupo lang malapit sa beach habang hinahayaan naming mabasa yung paa namen.

"Den..." I looked at Kevin but he is seriously staring at the water, parang may malalim na iniisip.

"Hmm?" I asked him at tumitig nalang din ako sa kawalan. I love this beach vibes. I love beaches.

"I kinda, I mean I think I like someone..." He said at diretsong napatingin ako sa kanya and I don't know pero parang nanikip yung dibdib ko. What the?

"R-really? I mean that's nice..." I said. I don't know kung anong nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko alam pero may nafi-feel ako.

"Yeah, I know I shouldn't. Cos I know she'll never like me back. She loves someone, the same person I guess but they're not together anymore, but I think she still love him. I badly want to tell her." He said at he seems sad. That girl should like Kevin back. Why? Kase he's deserving. Sobrang swerte ng mamahalin ni Kevin. He's a really good person, gentleman, he has the looks. Parang halos lahat na.

"Then, tell her. I know it's not that easy but you should give it a try, kesa naman magsisi ka d'ba? And malay mo naman hindi niya na mahal diba? You're just giving conclusions." I said as if I'm a love guru. I laugh at the back of my mind because of that thought.

"I tried. But every time I want to tell her, every time I will confess there will be someone or something that interrupts. And second, I'm nervous. She might distance herself away from me" he said at nag-isip ako ng pwedeng sabihin cos he really looks sad.

"Maybe hindi pa time para malaman niya diba? Normal na kabahan ka kase you don't know kung ano magiging reaction niya or gagawin niya. Pero diba sabi nga nila atleast you tried. And if ever she rejects you, hindi naman ikaw ang mawawalan eh, siya yung mawawalan." Woah it's like I'm an love expert here. I give myself a round of applause. He smiled.

"Really? You think I'm really worth it?" He asked me and I blushed a little. Yan kung ano ano naman kase sinasabe ko ugh.

"Uhm yeah" i said and tumayo na ko to go kila Jen to escape from the awkwardness.

There's only one thing I know right now, my heart is beating so fast and images of Kevin is flashing on my mind. What the heck.
