I Fell Inlove With My Bestfriend

IFIWMB 49: Together

Ember's POV

"Do you like me?" Tanong ko sa kanya. 'Yan na lang ang tinanong ko kasi baka pag sabihin kong 'do you love me?' Hindi niya sagutin at masaktan lang ako. He just stared at me like he wasn't sure of what to say. See? Because the truth is, he just wants to have time with me.

I just sighed. Looks like wala na talagang pag-asa.

"Okay. I understand." I tried to smile amd walk away but he gripped my hand. But I don't want to look at him.

"I don't like you." I felt my heart crashed into pieces. Biglang naglaho ang lahat and all I could feel is my insides are all shattered. (A/N: Not literally!) Do'n ko naramdaman ang mga luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.

Bakit pa kasi ako umaasa? For what?

I tried to shook my hand away from his grip but he doesn't let go of it. Hell! Does he know the word 'distance because of pain'? Because it hurts so much. So much! I'm so stupid. Why am I even so vulnerable? And why would I be? Simple. Because when it comes to him, my heart can be easily crashed. Why? Because---I love him.

I shooked my head and wept. I can't take the pain. Why does he always hurt me like this? Maybe--maybe, I really do deserve this mess.

"I don't like you." Ulit niya pa. Kailangan pa talagang ulit ulitin?

"I don't want to hear y--" He cutt me mid sentence.

"I don't like you because I love you." I suddenly felt the world stopped from moving. All I could feel is my heart beat. The same heart beat I always have everytime I'm with this guy. The guy who breaks it at the same time makes it beat so fast. France Delos Reyes. Why do you affect me so much? Why do I love you this much?

I looked at his face and it was seriously looking at me. Our eyes met and I know he said was true.

"Y-ou what?" I asked again. Because! I want to hear it again.

"Tsk. I already said it once, Ember. Twice is too much." He said that then pulled me in a hug.

Mas umiyak ako lalo sa binulong niya.

"I love you Ember. I love you very much." I hugged him back and didn't say a word after. I can feel his heart beat next to mine. It was like they have their own pace as they beat together.

It was all worth it.

I woke up and saw France beside me. Yes, tinabihan niya ako sa pagtulog. I told him kasi to be with me. And I'm so happy that he's here beside me. We didn't do anything, okay? Don't think green. We just slept and cuddled with each other last night util we fell asleep. Sheet. Para akong teenager na kinikilig kapag binabalik balikan 'yon. Oh well, masaya lang naman ako na nandito sa tabi ko ang taong mahal na mahal ko.

I smiled. I love him. He loves me. Isa na lang ang kulang. Kasalan.

My smile faded when I remembered that I was engaged to someone else. Ugh! Alright, I'm backing out. I'll just tell them next month, maybe. I still have two months pa naman. Yep, extended vacation ko. No, I mean, business work. Hihi.

I pulled myself closer to his chest, dahilan para magising siya. He's so cute!!

"Good morning choy ko." I said and pecked him in the lips.

I saw him smiled and brushed the strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ear. How sweet.

"Good morning my chay." He kissed me. But it wasn't a smack one, it was a long passionate kiss.
