Chapter 15

"Why did you look so bothered earlier nung sinabi ni Mom mo na birthday ni Wallace sa 13?" Tanong ni Flynn sakin. We're currently at the rink right now pero nagpahinga muna kami.

I sighed and told him every single detail of our relationship. He nodded and looked at me with a disappointed look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I raised a brow as he sighed.

"Ang malas pala niya sayo. Nakalimutan mo pa birthday niya. Hindi ideal na girlfriend." Sabi niya habang umiiling kaya hinampas ko yung braso niya. Inang to ang hilig talaga ako asarin eh.

"I have a short term memory!" I said as he just nodded pero napilit.

"Oo nalang. Hay, saklap naman non. Kaya pala nag walk out kanina. Dapat suyuin mo." Pangangaral niya sa akin. Balak ko naman talaga suyuin eh, tsaka nag text ako sakanya ang problema is ang tipid ng mga reply niya, halatang nagtatampo nga.

"I will!" I hissed as he nodded.

"Dapat lang." Sabi naman niya na kinanguso ko.

"Sino ba kaibigan mo sa aming dalawa ha? Sa pagkakaalam ko ako eh." Inis na sabi ko sakanya. I mean oo nga ako yung nagkamali pero sobra naman ata yung panggi gisa niya sa akin?

"Ikaw malamang pero sakanya ako side kase hindi ka niya deserve. He deserves better." Sabi niya na mas lalong dumagdag sa inis ko.

"Tanga ako yung best para sa kanya." Irap ko na kinatawa niya habang umiiling.

"Uwi na tayo? Pagod ka na ba?" Tanong niya.

"Medyo." Kako na kinatango niya.

"Goods, uwi na tayo para masuyo mo na yung manliligaw mo na kinukulang sa assurance kase medyo red flag yung liniligawan niya." He said as I gasped in disbelief.

"Bwisit ka!" I said as he just laughed. Hindi talaga dumadaan ang araw na hindi niya ako inaasar eh. Halos everyday na nagkikita kami inaasar niya ako. Bwinibwisit na lalaki.

"Nasan si Wallace?" Tanong ko kay Kuya Triveon nung makita ko siya.

"Nasa taas nagmumukmok. Kinalimutan mo na nga daw kase yung birthday may kasama ka pang iba." Sabi niya na nagpanguso sa akin.

"Saang taas?" Tanong ko naman.

"So rooftop ng building teh. Nagse senti siya doon. Pinaalis nga ako eh. Kala mo naman siya may ari ng resort." Sabi niya na kinakunot ng noo ko.

"Siya naman may ari, hindi ba?" Tanong ko as he stopped na parang may narealize. Ayon, medyo tanga ang Kuya Triveon niyo sa part na iyon.

"Ah basta. Tsaka hindi lang naman siya ang may ari noh. Madami kami na nagma may ari dito!" He defended as I just shrugged and went to the rooftop. Nakakalito si Kuya Triveon.

I saw Wallace on the edge of the rooftop sitting comfortably and his hands on his side. I took a minute to admire his back view, his broad shoulders and those veiny hands. His soft hair swaying with the wind, such a pretty boy.

I sat beside him and he probably didn't notice me cause his eyes were closed.

"Lace." I reached for his hand. He opened his eyes and looked at me. Those pretty black gentle eyes staring right into me.

"I'm so sorry." I said as he sighed and held my hand.

"I forgave you like an hour ago. You know I can't manage to get angry at you for more than 2 hours right?" He asked as I nodded.

"Still, I'm so sorry. I have a short term memory kase and it's been almost three years nung sinabi mo sa'kin kung kailan birthday mo. Of course I never forgot nawala lang talaga sa isipan ko." I said pouting as he smiled at me.

"It's fine now, sweetheart." He said pero nagui guilty padin ako. I mean how could I forget his birthday?! My God, Ishna he must be so disappointed in you na.

"I'm really so sorry and si Flynn nga pala yung kasama ko earlier. You know what, feel ko hindi siya straight." Sabi ko na kinakunot naman ng noo niya.

"At bakit mo naman naisip yan?" Tanong niya. Wala eh guni guni ko lang.

"Wala feel ko lang. Tsaka hindi ko pa mismo narinig sakanya na may nagustuhan siyang babae eh." I said as he laughed.

"Ishna, sweetheart. Doesn't mean na hindi siya nagsasabi na may gusto siya bakla na. Malay mo may gusto pala." Sabi niya na kinanguso ko.

"Pero nakakabwisit siya." Kako na naman.

"Why?"

"Kase kanina nung sinabi ko yung tungkol satin kase nga tinanong niya kung bakit daw ako bothered na bothered na nakalimutan ko birthday mo. Sinabi niya na hindi daw kita deserve and sabi niya red flag daw ako." I said with a pout.

"Diko na din alam kung talagang kaibigan ko yun eh. Tsaka sinabi niya din kanina na ako nga daw yung kaibigan niya pero ikaw daw yung kakampihan niya." Pagra rant ko na kinatawa naman niya.

"He doesn't sound so bad at all." Sabi niya na kinangiti ko.

"He's really a great friend." I said as he nodded.

"I should thank him then." He said as I tilted my head in confusion. Bakit naman siya magtha thank you sa kaibigan ko?

"Because, he was there beside you when I wasn't and he took care of you." He said as I smiled. He really is an expert with words. Love language siguro nito words of affirmation tsaka physical touch, gift giving na din.

After that one game I looked at the time and oh, would you look at that. It's already almost 12, his birthday is also so soon.

To: Wallace🙆

From: Wallace🙆

Andito ako sa kwarto ko malamang. Alangan namang magwalwal pa eh maga alas dose na

May point naman siya pero sana diko nalang tinanong. Bwisit na yon sana kase pumunta nalang ako sa kwarto niya.

I knocked on his door and it took long actually for him to open up. Like baka akala magnanakaw ako or something. I looked at the time and it was already 11:58 in the evening ano ba naman to magtwe twelve na hindi pa din binubuksan yung pinto. I aggressively knocked on the door and after 3 seconds he opened the door.

"Bagal ah." Irap ko tsaka pumasok.

"What are you doing here in this late hour?" Tanong naman niya.

"Ay wow ah parang hindi nagmamakaawa minsan na mag stay ako dito. Ngayon na willing ako mag stay parang ayaw mo naman." Nguso ko.

"It's not like that, shouldn't you he sleeping by now?" He asked while stroking my hair.

"Well, I wanted to greet you a very happy birthday." I said as he froze. I tiptoed and kissed his cheeks.

"Happiest birthday to my favorite and the man who always makes me happy. Thank you for being so understanding and thank you for loving me so much. You devoted yourself to me and that's one thing I love about you, wait no, I actually love everything about you. I wanted to be the one who greeted you happy birthday because why not diba? You deserve the best of the best because you are the best of them all so this girlie na nililigawan mo is trying her best to be the best version of her para maipakita ko sayo na I'm very much worthy of the love you are giving. Thank you for all the love, Lace! Happy birthday!"
