Jhoanna's POV
"How are you and Chie?" I asked Colet while we're putting our gym back to our designated lockers. I asked her to accompany me dahil ayaw ko namang mabored siya rito sa Sydney habang nagpapahinga pa siya away from everything.
"I don't know. We're still together but I feel like ako nalang 'yong andito eh." she answered with pain and sadness visible in her eyes. She's really in love with her. "There's this guy named Jake na palagi niyang kasama. I'm overthinking, Jhoanna. What if she's cheating on me? What if she doesn't love me anymore?" she asked. And I can't help but to feel sad for her. Mas nasasaktan ako na nasasaktan siya.
"Hey! Trust her love for you, alright? Everything will fall into their right places soon." I said to comfort her. She gave me a smile - a genuine one. I missed this. This, us - talking about love with sparkles and emotions in her eyes. The only difference now is that, she's talking about Chie and not me.
"Yes. Halika na nga, gym na tayo. I'm sick and tired of drama." she said and pulled me to the treadmill for our warm up. Gosh! Her hands are so soft and gentle.
Jhoanna, gaga ka! May jowa 'yan. I had to remind myself.
She's holding my knees while I'm doing curl-ups. Every time I had to get up, lumalapit ang mukha niya sa akin. One inch! And I'm wondering why am I still alive if she's this close to me. I can feel and smell her hot and mint breathe. I can't help but to stare at her red lips.
I swallowed a lump on my throat. Pinili ko nalang na lumingon sa gilid ko because I'm scared she might notice how my face turned red. I can't look at her now! Kinikilig ako ngayon at hindi ko alam kung tama ba 'to.
"Why are you looking away?" she whispered in a low but inviting tone. Well, for me it's seductive. Ewan ko lang kung sinasadya niya ba o normal lang 'yon sa kanya.
"I-I'm not --" she didn't let me finish my statement because she suddenly close the gap between us and kissed my cheeks. She smiled. 'Yong tipong hanggang mata. She sticked out her tongue sidewards and bite it while stopping herself to smile.
I suddenly can't move. It feels like the time stopped and we're having our little own world. Just us- Jhoanna and Colet. This is so wrong but fuck it! I want her.
