My laughter died down when I saw a message from Ryder. Paimpit akong napatili.

Benjamin Ryder Labrador:

Hi, Bella. I know we established no contact between the both of us and I don't want to distract you. But can we talk?

My heartbeat quickened its pace and I froze because of this message. I cleared my throat hoping it would calm me down. It didn't!

Me:

Hey. Sure. What do you want to talk about?

Benjamin Ryder Labrador:

I'll meet you in the university's garden early in the morning. Sa Friday. Don't worry, no one will be there. I'll make sure it's only the both of us.

Lalo akong kinabahan dahil sa gusto niya.

Me:

Okay. I'll be there as early as 6 AM. 😊

Benjamin Ryder Labrador:

Good. 😊

Benjamin Ryder Labrador:

You should rest now. Goodnight, Bella. Sweet dreams.

That night, I slept with the biggest smile on my face. I also brought him to my dreams and it's the sweetest fantasy.

The day of our meetup came and I am nervous as hell! Mang Salas drove all the way to our school. Si Scar ay halatang puyat sa tabi ko dahil nakapikit habang nakasandal sa akin.

She groggily said goodbye to me when we arrived at tamad na tamad maglakad papunta kay Willa na naghihintay sa kanya. I giggled at both of them most especially when Willa almost slapped her T-Square on Scar's face to wake her up, but the latter stopped her and they eventually walked.

Nakarating na ako sa garden kung nasaan si Ryder. I saw him with his arms crossed while sitting and his left leg was bouncing. Nakita ko rin siyang nakapikit. The sight almost made me fall onto my knees. He's so breathtaking to look at, even though he's doing nothing.

I looked around to see if someone's looking. Pati ang building na katabi ay tiningnan ko. Masyadong maaga pa kasi para pumasok. Mga guards at ibang maintenance personnel ang nandito.

I breathed in before slowly breathing out. Nagsimula ako sa paglalakad papunta sa kanya. I saw there's a paper bag next to his feet. Naramdaman niya siguro ang presensya ko kaya dumilat siya. He smiled when he saw me.

"Good morning." I uttered softly.

His smile turned into a grin.

"Good morning, Bella."

Huminga ulit ako nang malalim bago naglakas loob na umupo sa tabi niya. There's a space between us. I intertwined my hands and placed it on my lap as I slowly swung my feet because it didn't reach the ground.
