If Only I Can

Chapter 8:Skip to The Last Part

Anastashia's P.O.V.:

Nathan picked me up today. Gff. Heh. Sure, Nathan did changed a lot since that night of confession,. His gotten nicer,sweeter,reliable,very understanding, smarter, and cockier. :3 We had lunch with the gang, Nathan and Artchie went to buy our lunch and that left me and Cass on the table. Well, Cass is a great girl, I must say. You know, she's very calm and very kind in some sort of ways. I even get intimidated with her attitude sometimes. She suddenly nudged me and grinned. "You sure made a great change of impact on Nathan, Tash." I had the look of 'ha?' With what she said. But yeah, I have noticed what she was trying to say. "Uhm, y-yeah. I guess.." I told her as we turned to look at the guys. He changed. For better and... I don't know, the way he really should be? My thoughts were flying when Cass said," Tash, ganyan talaga si Nathan in nature. He's naughty, straightforward, reliable, understanding, sensable, nice, a sweet guy and he's a smart guy actually. These are only few reasons why you loved him back then." I listened carefully to what Cass said. Its exactly the Nathan I'm seeing right now. But I'm surprised, she didn't mention COCKY. T.T Reasons why I loved him back then. That thought didn't left my mind . The guys came back with our meals. WOW. Nathan ordered exactly my favorite dishes. Which surprised me, kasi wala naman akong sinabi sa kanya. I was surprised and... impressed. "H-How did you---" "I'm your husband-to-be love, it's only natural for me to know such minor things" he said winking while cutting off my sentence. I felt my face heat; I decided to focus on my lunch. Damn this guy.

He escorted me to my room, hindi ko kasi sya kaklase for my next class. I think he's vacant for the next 2 hours. Sana naman he'll stay good and do nothing naughty or oblivious. I thought. "Sige na babe, pasok ka na. Mamimiss kita. I'll let Artchie pick you up later. May aasikasuhin kasi ako sandali. But don't miss me okay? I'll see you later of course. " he said in such noncholant way while wiggling his eyebrows. God, his being obnoxious again. -_-' I ignored all the cockiness his spitting out. Tssss. " San ka pupunta? Don't do something stupid, you twerp. I won't be there to stop you. At least for the next 2 hours. You hear?" I sound like a mother. Well can you blame me? I just don't want him to get into trouble while I'm not there. "Yes ma'am. I won't make out with other women! I'm all yours!" He said saluting at me firmly. " THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT,idiot!" I was about to walk away when you held my wrist. "Huy, sorry naman.. eto naman, I was just trying to make you smile.. joke lang yun.." I looked at him in disbelief. Tawang-tawa naman ako sa joke ng mokong nato : 3 "At binawi mo pa talaga lahat ng sinabi mo ha? Jerk." He placed his other hand on his head, and laughed." Yung babe nalang ha?" "Ewan ko sayo! Sige na.. malalate ako sa mga hirit mo eh!" I pulled my wrist and walked briskly away from him. I can't wipe away that smile from my face. Sira talaga yung lalaking yun. "Babe!" I stopped walking when I heard him call out. " I love you!" Gwaaaaah! People at the corridor started cheering. I just waved at him and continued walking still, smiling like a retard.

Nathan's P.O.V.:

I escorted her to her room. I missed doing that for her. I missed doing everything at my best just for her. Kasi, pag ginagawa ko yun, I feel like I'm bringing out the best in me. Artchie and I went for another surprise plan for her. Besides, I'm 2 hours vacant and ganun din si Chie. Cass is in the same class with her right now, so were pretty free. I was planning of continuing everything. Next event is when she said yes to me at the cafeteria. Artchie and I set everything up the way it was before. Everything must be as perfect as that magical day. When I finally became her official lover and she was officially mine. The bell rang for the first hour, may isang oras pa. I thought. Artchie and I went reved up to finish everything on time. While doing these things all over again, I can't help to feel so friggin' happy about it. I never imagined that I would ever feel this excited again. I missed being me. Because as everyone noticed, I did really lost my own self when she disappeared. Even I noticed, but I can't do anything, losing the best part of me was hell. It has been unbearable.

"Dude, have you heard? Were having a game 2 weeks from now. " "yeah? Alam na nila Tyrel yan? Sige ba." "Sasali ka? What a surprise man! I mean you've been missin' out ever since. You sure?" Well, I guess it can't be helped. "I'll be good. Just have to practice double. That's if you guys still want me in the basketball team." "Gago ka ba? Sasabihan ba kita kung ayaw na naming sumali ka? Oo naman! Ano, training tayo mamaya?" "Sige ba. Sali ako." Guess its time to rattle the crowd in the basketball gymnasium again. Its been years since I stopped doing it.

Finally, Artchie and I finished the preparations for today's event. We just have to wait for the next ring for her to pick the girls up while I practice. I tested the mic saying, "Hey babe." The seats were getting filled as the bell rang for everyone's break. I greeted everyone as I waved my hand to them. "Hey guys, I'm glad you came to this little event I organized for the woman I love most. Its been quite long since we jammed and it feels good to be here again." I looked all over the crowd and caught sight of Artchie and the girls. She was looking intently at me as if saying, "what the hell are you doing?!" I laughed at the mic as I thought of her expression. I pointed to her direction and everyone gazed to where I'm pointing,"You there, give my heart back." The crowd went wild and that was my cue to start. "To all the couples here, to all those who are inlove and needs an answer right now, and to the woman whom I want to be with forever. This is all for you." Everyone cheered and clapped as the background music started playing.

When your legs don't work like they used to before. I gazed her direction as I wrapped my hands around the mic stand. And I can't sweep you off of your feet. Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks? I smiled at her genuinely and turned to the crowd. I'm thinking 'bout how, people fall inlove in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand.. I took the mic with me and went to her. I held her hand and placed it around my neck. I looked into her eyes while I slowly willed her to dance. Well me I fall inlove with you every single day.. I just want to tell you I am.. I closed my eyes ,and pressed my forehead with hers.So honey now, take me into your loving arms.. kiss me under the light of a thousand stars, place your head on my beating heart, I'm thinking out loud, that maybe we found love right where we are.. I kissed her forehead gently and whispered I love you. The crowed went crazy and before I knew, everyone was with their lover, dancing slowly to my music. I continued the song still holding her in my arms.. Then I told her, "this is when we got officially together." Then she told me as she smiled at me, "Can we... skip to the last part?"
