P.S Always and Forever

Chapter 14

Inalalayan pa rin ako ng dalawa sa paglabas. Nadatnan namin si Ryder na kasama ang dalawang kaibigan niya. Umayos sila ng tayo.

We stopped in our tracks and the girls stood at the side to give way to Ryder who's slowly approaching me. May dala siyang dalawang paper bag.

Ryder cleared his throat when he stood in front me. I looked up at him to meet his eyes. Ang tangkad kasi niya! Mas matangkad pa sa dalawang kaibigan niya.

"I've been wanting to give you this. I also brought you sweets because Brielle said it will calm your cramps." Inabot niya sa akin ang isang paper na may laman na parang unan, at ang isa naman ay puro sweets.

Hindi ko nga alam kung gusto ba nito pawalain ang menstrual cramps ko, o gusto ako magkaroon ng diabetes!

I slowly got the paper bags from him and looked up to him again. He's waiting for me to look at him again. When I did, he smiled.

I softly smiled at him. "Thank you for these."

"Do you need anything else?" He asked me slowly.

Kung pwede lang kahit ano ang maging cravings ko, gusto ko ang boses niya! It's so freaking soothing kahit malalim! I would dive deeper in that deep voice of his.

I shook my head. "None na. Uh...Mauuna na kami."

He nodded before smiling at me again. His ears were getting red.

"See you around, Bella."

Nagpaalam ang dalawa kong kaibigan sa kanila bago nila ako tinabihan at magsimulang maglakad.

When I arrived home later that day, I opened the paper bag. The content is a sky blue heart shaped pillow with his initials at the bottom. I smiled and hugged the pillow tightly.

This is enough. Holding a heart given to me by him is enough to make me weak.

Few weeks ran by, and our final week was slowly approaching. Being in school can somehow either feel too fast or too slow. Siguro sa pagiging busy namin maghabol ng deadlines at magpasa ng activities and exams, hindi na namin namamalayan na malapit na matapos ang semester na ito.

Ryder knows that I hate being in the spotlight. Hindi na ulit siya nag tweet after ng nangyari noon. His fans were already asking about who is her, but he gave no answers. Not even Galen, Kai, Coma, or Brielle. Hindi rin nagsasalita si Seanna and sila Lester kung sino.

Hindi rin kami nagkakaroon ng palitan ng messages online but I continued sending him little letters and he continued sending me poems. That's enough for me. Pabor na sa akin ang pag uusap namin gamit ang papel at panulat.

Isang tahimik at payapang paraan para malaman ang mga tinatagong nararamdaman.

Ako ulit ang naunang pumasok sa amin nila Misha at Crim. I hummed as I stood in line for the elevator. Yakap ko ang dalang mga libro na kinuha ko mula sa locker bago pumunta sa building na ito.

I continued humming even though someone stood beside me. I looked up and saw it's him.

He smiled at me. I smiled back before returning my gaze in front. Pansin ko ang mga pagtitinginan ng mga estudyante sa lalaking katabi ko. Namula ako dahil may mga tumitingin din sa akin.

Ryder cleared his throat before slightly moving away from me. I slowly breathe in before breathing out. Bumukas ang elevator at pumasok ako. Katabi ko si Ryder sa likod at napuno ang elevator ng mga estudyante.

Nilagay ni Ryder ang braso sa harap ko para hindi na ako maatrasan pa ng mga estudyante.

"Elevator's full. Take the next one." His deep voice echoed inside as he informed those students who wanted to ride the elevator. They nodded at him before stepping back. The elevator door closed. Siya lang ang natatanging matangkad sa loob.
