Extraordinary Butler With A Heart (Girls Love)

Chapter 26: Friends or Lovers

Brynne's POV

"Brynne may tanong ako" I slightly open my eye to look at her, I just wanna read whatever she's thinking but to my dismay... I can't.

Maybe because I am so comfortable lazily laying here with her thighs as my soft pillows. I don't even mind the hard surface against my back,not at all, in fact ito na ata ang masasabi kong the best rest throughout my whole life.

Oh yeah I almost forgot about her question "what is it mellow?" I just shut my eyes again knowing that it will just be a random question from her, she does it all the time that's why sometimes I can't read her.

But damn! I was so wrong to think that way...

"Brynne..... pwede bang humingi ng pagkakaibigan mula sayo?" with both eyes still closed, napaupo ako.

I was left dumbfounded by her question, not even sure kung paano magreact. Should I be delighted? Confused? Disappointed? Mad? Or will just start a war?

Although pinili ko na munang manahimik just collecting my thoughts first, ayoko kasing maging impulsive na naman ako this time. I just wanna be careful sa mga isasagot ko o sasabihin ko sakanya kasi I am constantly reminded by the secret promise I made to her the other night.

"Bakit?" gusto ko lang muna malaman yung side niya for some perspective bago magreact. Pero heck! the real reason behind my one word question is that I still don't really have an idea on how to react.

She didn't answer for a moment which made me look at her. Nakatingin siya sa kanyang lap, more specifically sa mga kamay niya na nakapatong dito they are fidgeting maybe from nervousness or I don't know 'should I just ask her again?'

"Alam mo kasi..." napatingin siya sa harapan namin, sa malawak na field na para bang may naalala "magiging weird siguro ito para sayo pero simula noong nagkita at nag kakwentuhan tayo sa plaza kung saan kami tumutogtog... nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang connection sayo, sa pagitan nating dalawa, yun bang parang connection namin ng best friend kong si Melissa pero.....di gaya sakanya parang yung atin kasi matagal ng nakasulat sa mga tala na naghihintay lang ng tamang pagkakataon para mangyari na, at nangyari na nga pero nakakadismaya lang ng konti kasi parang may limitasyon" I don't know anything about destiny but upon hearing her almost poetic statement, I knew that she was talking about one.

"I didn't know that, and bakit ngayon mo lang sinasabi lahat ng to? You should have said that sooner" it's not shown,totally not obvious in my face but she doesn't have any idea how much her words flutters me that I just wanna hug her this instant.

"Akala ko kasi dati na okay na akong ganito tayo na... butler mo ako at ikaw ang boss ko" she sighed deeply and gave me a look which I'm not really familiar, it's so subtle "naiisip ko kasi palagi na paano kaya kung hindi lang hanggang dito? Paano kaya kung magka-ibigan na lang tayo?" did I hear her right? Magkaibigan as in friends o Magka-ibigan as in lovers?

'Goddamn it! Which is which?!' my heart went crazy thinking about the latter.

What if yun talaga yung sinabi niya and not the former?!

I quickly diverted my gaze in the opposite direction, I can't let her hear my thoughts, for God's sake! Nahihibang na ba ako?! Ngayon pa talaga hindi gumana ng maayos ang mga tenga ko!
