Chapter 22

After the game we had earlier with Banko Perlas, my teammates went to our room as fast as they could. Alam niyo na siguro? It's to find any juicy news from what I've done from the service side. Well, kahit sino naman siguro sa amin would choose someone who has not been consistent with receiving. And besides, I only followed coach O's advice to target Jho?

Pero hindi naman 'yan yung reason bakit ako naiinis. It's about Caitlin. Sure, I already accepted it na I'm gonna be friends with Cait na lang and will not expect for anything more. Sabi ko makukuntento na lang ako, eh. But.. what's with Deans?

Lately, napapansin kong sobrang close niya kay Cait. Sobrang lambing. I should not feel this way, right? Hindi dapat ako nagseselos. They're good friends. Right?

I couldn't help myself but to keep on staring at Deanna who's lying on our bed and she even rested her head on Cait's lap comfortably. Inggit ka lang! Huh? Inggit? Me?! I'm not inggit! Ah, really? Why am I even talking to myself ba? This is really not healthy sometimes kasi napapansin ko na lang na I'm talking to myself. But I think this is normal lang naman?

"Hindi mo na binalik? Or were you waiting for me?" I was surprised when I saw that our bed are still in their positions. Or baka she's tired lang to move them and just waiting for me?

"Hindi na. Kung okay lang sayo? Kasi malikot ako matulog, Bei." she answered with her face red.

"Oo nga. Pansin ko." I let out a small laugh when I remembered something.

"Pansin mo?" she was surprised and at the same time napansin kong bigla siyang nahiya.

"Nauuna akong magising tuwing umaga kasi twice ka nang muntik mahulog sa bed tuwing gumigising ako sa umaga. Since then, I always watch you sleep a bit more para bantayan ka para if ever na mahulog---"

"Oh my gosh! Bakit ngayon mo lang sinasabi, Beatriz?! Nakakahiyaaaa!"

She hid her face with the pillow she was hugging awhile back. I continued laughing.. Is this how nice to be happy with you, Cait? If so.. then I envy him so much.

"Ano ka ba! Okay lang 'yon. Besides, maaga naman kasi talaga akong nagigising.. at isa pa, I enjoy watching you sleep soundly." I admit. There's no harm naman siguro in telling her that, 'no?

"Kapag ganoon, gisingin mo ako." she begged.

"Bakit pa? Hindi naman na natin paghihiwalayin 'yung bed. Actually, it's nice na naisip mong 'wag nang ibalik sa pwesto." Really, Bea? I can't believe you right now!

"Paano kung masuntok kita habang natutulog, 'di ba? Mas nakakahiya 'yon!"

"Hindi ka naman siguro ganoon kalikot na hanggang sa pagtulog nang-i-spike ka ng bola?" I asked her containing myself to laugh 'cause the look on her face gives me the reason to.

"Hindi 'no!" Sungit naman!

When we laid down and made ourselves comfortable, hindi naman kami natulog agad. We talked about things outside volleyball. She was even amazed to know that I still study. Hmm.. Madali lang palang pasayahin si Cait. No wonder that her relationship with KR is strong.
