Roxy and Archie | RoxChie AU (Senior High)

XIII. Trouble

3rd person's POV
Archie woke up because of the blazing sun coming through the window. Napansin niya nakapulupot si Roxy sakanya. Roxy's arm on his neck, the other wrapped around him, her leg on top of his leg. Napangiti ito dahil sobrang comfortable ni Roxy. Tinry netong gumalaw ng konti dahil naiihi na ito, pero hinipigtan ni Roxy yakap niya kay Archie with her right arm. "Mmm," Roxy groans annoyingly. "Anoba— Archie natutulog pa ako, bastos neto," habang nakapit parin. "Babe, yakap ka na yakap ka saakin, but I need to pee," Archie teases and laughs. Biglang bukas ng mata ni Roxy. Nakita niya position nila sobrang lapit at bigla 'tong napa-upo at umiwas. "You're cute, pero ang lakas mo humilik," tawa nito at nag-cr na ito, habang napangiti. "Hoy,'di ako humihilik!" sabay tapon ng unan pagkasarado ni Archie ng pinto ng cr habang tawang-tawa 'to. "Hala nahilik ba ako, parang 'di naman," sabi niya sa sarili niya.

Nakakatulala lang sa pader si Roxy, dah naalimpungtan parin ito. "Good Morning Babe," labas ng cr ni Archie. "Anong babe ka 'dyan, gusto mo sapak?" "Right — eh ang sarap ng akap mo saakin ah, I mean ng tulog mo. Sana 'di nalang kita ginising 'mas bumabait ka pag tulog," Archie teases. "Che!" "C'mere," Archie instructs while he's on the bed seating. "Ano, nanaman?" but Roxy follows. "Let me check on you, buti wala ka ng lagnat," Roxy stares at him while he checks her forehead and neck for her temperature. 'Di napigilan ngumiting simple ni Roxy. "Galing ko bang nurse," Archie asks. "Pasado na ba as a boyfriend?" he adds. "Pinagsasabi mo 'dyan?" gulat ni Roxy sa tanong. "Wala, you're so serious," tawa neto. Roxy rolls her eyes.

[Knocks] "Iha, iho? tara kain na." "Ay good morning po Lola, sige po palabas na po kami," sigaw ni Roxy. Lalabas na si Roxy when Archie took her arm & pulls her, "Roxy, can I tell you something?" "Gutom na ako, maya na 'yan" "Ah, sige," Archie face drops. "Napasarap ba tulog niyo?" tanong ng Lola. "Yes, lalo na po si Roxy, tuloy laway nga eh," tawa ni Archie. "Ang kapal mg mukha mo, 'wag kayo maniwala 'dyan La," siko ni Roxy. "Akap na akap ka nga saakin, " Archie grins. "Nakikita mo 'to," hawak ni Roxy ng tinidor. "Brutal mo naman, babe," "Archie —" "Alam niyo ang cute niyong dalawa, ganiyan din kami ng nobyo ko dati. Parang aso't pusa," sabi ng Lola. "Ay La, siya 'yung aso," sagot ni Roxy. So um-agree ka magiging tayo," ngiti ni Archie. "Tanga, hayop kasi pinaguusapan,". Archie mocks Roxy's face.

Ng natapos na sila kumain, tumayo si Roxy, "Where are you going?" Archie held her hand, nagulat ito sabay bitaw ni Roxy. "Mag-bibihis, hindi pwede?" "Oh," Archie says. "Kailangan ko ng umuwi, wala tayo sa bakasyom ha Archie," "Duh, I know that," "Yun naman pala eh,". "Um, La pwede po makuha 'yung cellphones namin," tanong ni Roxy. "Ito, apo. Pasensya na kayo wala palang signal dito sa loob ng bahay." "God, no signal really?" "Archie —" pigil ni Roxy kay Archie sa pagiging bastos. "Sorry po," Archie apologizes. "Okay lang, iho. Sa labas meron naman.. subukan mo, tutal wala naman ng ulan,". "Okay, so you go change and i'll check how far we'll have to walk to my car," Archie instructs Roxy.

Archie goes outside to check for signal. "Ano ba naman 'tong — ok there we go," finally getting a signal. "Roxy, okay na, 15 minutes nalang lalakarin natin," as he's looking over his phone at pumasok ng kwarto nila. Gulat ng nakita niya nakasilip si Carlo sa cr habang alam nitong nag papalit si Roxy. "WHAT THE HECK, ARE YOU DOING?" biglang sumugod si Archie ng suntok kay Carlo. As of now, Carlo's on the ground hinaharang ang mga suntok ni Archie pero umamba rin ito ng suntok sa mukha at bandang labi niya. Nadinig ni Roxy ang gulo, dali-dali ito lumabas ng banyo, "Archie?! Anong nangyayari?" sabay gulat at pag-awat nito kay Archie sa panununtok kay Carlo. Nakaharang na si Roxy kay Archie. "TANGINA BINOBOSOHAN KA NG MANYAK NA 'YAN!" Gulat ni Roxy, 'di makapaniwala. Archie pulls Roxy behind him, trying to protect her.

"Anong kaguluhan ito?" pumasok ng Lola sa kwarto. "'Yang magaling niyong apo, mina-manyak si Roxy!" Sigaw ni Archie habang hinihingal at duguan ang bandang labi. "Ano? Carlo totoo ba 'to?!" pakalmang sigaw ng Lola. "Ha, Lola hi-hindi po. Napasilip lang ako, may kukunin kasi ako sa loob ng cr, 'di ko namalayan nasa loob po si Roxy, La — kayo na nga nakikitira dito magsinungaling ka pang hayop ka. Sisiraan mo pa ako sa Lola ko!" sagot ni Carlo. "Carlo! Hindi kita pinalaking ganyan,". Napikon lalo si Archie at ng laki ang mga mata. "GAGO! YOU REALLY THINK I AM THAT STUPID, I SAW THE WAY YOU PEEP THROUGH THAT DOOR. 'WAG MONG MALAPIT LAPITAN SI ROXY —" Nagliliyab sa galit mga mata ni Archie. At natatakot na si Roxy sa pwede nitong gawin. "Archie! Look at me," ayaw parin tumingin. "ARCHIE UTANG NA LOOB. Tignan mo ako," kumalma si Archie ng tinignan ito si Roxy. "AALIS NA TAYO," hinawakan nito ang kamay ni Roxy at hila palabas. Wala ng nagawa si Roxy at sumunod na lamang.

"Mga Apo!" Tawag ng Lola. Habol nito kila Roxy at Archie sa labas. "La, pasensya na po kayo, 'di ko po inaasahan mangyayari 'to," "Roxy? ikaw pa mag sorry, really?!" "Archie —" tigil ni Roxy dito. "Hindi tama siya Iha, 'yung apo ko ang dapat mag sorry, pero 'di ko kayo pipilitin makipag-ayos dahil parehas pa silang hindi kalmado," "Yeah, right. Hindi ako mag sorry 'don," pagalit na sabi ni Archie. "Pasensya ka na iho, may ano kasi si Carlo—" "Ano 'ho yun La?" tanong ni Roxy. "Wala, apo. Mukhang nagmamadali na kayo. Gamutin mo sugat ng kaibigan mo, ako na muli humihingi ng paumanhin, lalo na sa ginawa sayo ng apo ko," "Okay lang po. Salamat parin po sa inyo Lola." At naglakad na silang dalawa sa kalye.

Naglakad sila ng tahimik. At sa wakas narating na nila ang kotse ni Archie. Pag-pasok nila ng kotse biglang nagmuryot nanaman si Archie. "That fucking maniac, kung hindi mo ko pinigilan. Hindi ko na 'yon hinayang huminga!" Archie slams his wheel. "Archie tama na tapos na," pakalamang sinabi ni Roxy. "No! Did you even remember what he did to you, Roxy? God you're too fucking kind," "Walang nangyari saakin, 'di niya naman ako nalapitan. Ano pa bang problema mo?!" "This what i've been telling you! But you don't listen to me! What if he did? I can't fucking bare it, the way he looked at you. What if he touches you? What if may ginawa siya sayo? Oh, God. He saw you naked? Did he?" Roxy interrupts him, "Wala siyang nakita, Archie," she assures him, she doesn't even know why she's reassuring him. "The thought of someone touching you — I just can't, Roxy. Fuck!" Archie continues & became hysterical like almost having a panic attack. Roxy stares at him at 'di napigilan ang sarili, she grabbed his face at hinalikan niya si Archie.

Nagulat si Archie, few seconds he realizes. He kissed her back with hunger. Roxy stops & touches his lips. "Archie, kalma okay? Hinga," they're now looking at each other eye to eye as their forehead touches. Archie breathing heavily and Roxy calms him down as he goes back his normal breathing pace. "Walang mangyayari saakin okay?" Roxy held his face, caressing his cheek. Archie just nods and kissed Roxy again lightly, she lets him and he quickly pulled away. This time, he nuzzled his face on Roxy's neck and she lets him, while she plays with his hair. As they seat silently in his car.

There's so much going on in Roxy's mind. But for the first time she appreciates Archie, off how protective he is to her.
