Always The Bestfriend

Chapter Ten

"What are you doing here?" I asked Storm as he droppee his body on my bed.

I was drying my hair when I heard knocking on my door. Tatayo na sana ako ng pumasok si Storm at basta humiga sa kama.

"Storm. What the heck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked. It's been two days since the coffee shop incident. Stress could turn me into a bitch, alright.

"She broke my heart." Storm whisphered. Nagtaas ako ng kilay.

"Again?" I said at binunot ang hair dryer na kanina ko lang ginagamit. "Alam mo, you should break up with her. For good. Being with Rain isn't healthy, Storm." I said.

He just groaned in response. Hinila ko siya patayo at nagpahila naman siya. He sat on the side of my bed and looked at me. I cringed when I smelled him.

"God, you smell like alcohol. Have you been drinking?" I asked.

"Yeah, a few." He answered with a shrug. I grimaced at his answer. "Can I take a shower?" He asked.

"May sarili kang bahay. Go home and take a shower there then go to work." I answered at tumalikod.

"C'mon, Sunny. Can't you see I'm broken here?" He asked. Nilingon ko siya.

"Ako ba ang may kasalanan kung bakit broken ka dyan?" I asked him with a raised brow. Humiga siya sa kama and he stared at the ceiling.

"Sinaktan nanaman niya ako. Hindi niya alam na nakita ko sila. I wanted to confront her but..." he trailed off. I sighed at tumabi sa kanya.

Perks of being a bestfriend. You have to be with your bestfriend when he or she needs you. You're like an absorber of their sama loob. And you're also a comforter too.

"Ayoko na makipaghiwalay siya sakin. I love her way too much to let her go." he followed that with a deep sigh.

"Is this what love do to people? Damn." I said. Inlove ako pero hindi ako katulad ni Storm. Yes, I love him pero not to the point na ganun.

"Hindi mo alam kasi hindi ka pa naiinlove." he said while glaring at me. Inirapan ko siya.

"I know the feeling of being inlove. Being inlove makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. It makes you appreciate the little things he does for you. It's just..just..boogsh." I made like a crashing sound and I made some hand signs too.

"Love is complicated. It can make you do stupid things. It can make you do things you thought you aren't capable of doing. It's a roller coaster. It's messy but it's fun." I smiled to myself then laughed. "I wish I could stop my hypothalamus from feeling stuff but it's impossible." I said with a shrug.

I looked at him. He was looking intently at me like he wants to ask questions but was holding back. "You're inlove?" He asked.

I nodded. It's not like I'm going to say that he's the one I'm inlove with, diba? I just answered his question.

"Who's the lucky guy?" He asked. Nakaupo na ito sa kama. Mukhang interesado siya sa pinaguusapan namin.

"You don't want to know." I said while shaking my head.

"Oh really? Try me, Sunny." he said smugly. Umiling lang ako sa kanya.

"Still a no." I said. "I need to go to work. You should too." I stood up and collected my things. He was just watching my every move and I felt concious at how I look.

"Stop staring. It's rude, you know." sita ko dito. He just smirked the stood up.

"Sabay ka na sakin?" he asked. Umiling ako.
