Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 57

JHOANA

"Ok ok bye" Bea ended the call with Ara

"Uhhh b-balik na tayo. They are looking for u-us na" Bea slightly stutters at hindi siya makatingin sa'kin ng deretso

"Pano kung ayoko"

Bea looked at me with a questioning face. Mabiro nga muna haha

"What if I want us to stay longer here? Wala pa ngang nangyayari eh"

And that made her look more questioning

"Say something, Beatriz"

Bea took a deep breath before speaking

"I'm sorry for trying to...you know, alam mo na yun" Bea

"Nope, say it"

"Jho" Bea groans

"Ayaw mo?" paseryoso kong sabi

"For trying to kiss you" Bea at mejo tumaas yung boses halata na na pressure ito

I can't help but smile a little

"Ba't 'di natin subukan, ayaw mo ba?"

Bea holds both sides of my shoulders

"Jhoana, no. Nakainom tayo, ok" Bea

Okay.

I smiled slightly at her "of course, sorry. Balik na tayo?"

She doesn't remember me anymore, so why would Bea dare to kiss me? Haay self

"It's not that I don't want to. For you, I just don't want to kiss you under the influence of alcohol. If I kiss someone, I want it to be pure love" Bea

Ah kasi hindi niya ako mahal

ARA

"Bakit mo naman sinolo si Jho, Bea?"

"Why? Can't we be together?" Bea

"You don't understand"

"Don't understand what" Bea

"Because I like her! At first it was Carly, but I end up liking Jho"

"You like her?" Bea

I nodded "I am starting to fall for her, and I am willing to do everything to make her happy. Napaka swerte ng taong mamahalin niya, Bei"

"Ok" Bea

"Tell me, may nagawa ba kayo? Nakainom kayo diba"

"Wala akong ginagawa kay, Jho" Bea

"You better be sure. Please don't betray me, Bei"

"I'm your friend" Bea

"And I trust you"

Bea nodded

Fast forward (back in Manila)

BEATRIZ

"How was the vacation?" mom happily asked me

"Fun and great mom. Deanna's friends are really nice, and we got along well"

"That's good, you know you should hang out with them often" mom Det

"Sure will"

"How about Caitlin, nag enjoy kaya siya? Naunang umuwi ng Manila eh" kuya Loel
