EXCHANGE OF HEARTS [BL]

CHAPTER 35

"I haven't seen you around for how many days," Race and Bridgette walked side by side.

Bridgette smiled sweetly at him. "I got busy."

Race lift an eyebrow as he stared at his friend who can't kept her smile with herself.

"Who is he?" Race asked. He thought he knew why Bridgette smiled like that and why Bridgette looked blooming today.

"I didn't say anything-"

"Yet your actions tell the opposite." Race counters.

Bridgette pouted but after a minutes, she smiled and she flushed. "He's handsome...and intelligent and he really cared for me. He's always there when I need someone-"

"You can call me every time, Bridge. I am your friend too, I'll be there if you needed me."

"I know that!" Bridgette patted his back and looked at their path again. "It just felt different when he's around. I badly want to call you but he already came and I realized that you are not single anymore. I don't want Atlas to think different and I don't want him to hate me."

Race stopped and tilted his head. "He's your friend too. We are your friends. You are not a burden or anything."

"Yup! Yup! Yet, I want him only for me! I think I fell in love with him!" She squalled and giggled, she become scarlet as if she was thinking of a thing that makes her blush like that.

"Well, whoever he is. I am your supporter," Race showed a boyish smiled. "But if he hurt you, I'll call Atlas and torture that boy."

Bridgette jest bumped him and giggled. "How sweet!" Bridgette smiled. "But don't worry he won't hurt me...if he will, I will cut his dick and feed it to the starving crocodile!"

Race can't help but laughed and shook his head as they continued walking to their next class.

After a moment of silent, Bridgette asked Atlas.

"What about you and Atlas? How's your relationship going?"

Atlas took a deep sighed. "We had our first fight,"

"Congrats!"

Race stopped and looked at Bridgette with full of confusions in his eyes.

"And why are you congratulating me?"

Bridgette chuckled. "Because finally you had an official fight with your boyfriend! An official fight as a couple!"

"Yeah, and you are happy that we'd fought?"

"Um, no. I'm not congratulating you because I am happy, yet-" Bridgette smiled sweetly at him. Race lifted an eyebrow. "It is a good sign that your relationship is really working."

Still confused. Race just stared at his friend, but he did not say a word.

"A relationship won't work if you don't have a fight or a misunderstanding with your partner. It doesn't mean that you have a fight your relationship is failing, that is a sign that both of you pay attention to each other and you know what? A fight will make your relationship stronger when you will fight your own battle and when you succeeded to the battle that you and your partner fighting with when you are together." Bridgette gazed at him and smiled. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Race blinked.

Bridgette sighed. "Ito para mas maintindihan mo ang sinasabi ko, kung nalagpasan ninyo ang pinag-aawayan ninyo ibig sabihin ay magtatagal kayo dahil pareho kayong hindi sumuko, pareho kayong kumapit sa relasyon ninyo, pareho kayong hindi bumitaw. Ibig sabihin na sa susunod pang mga problema na dadating na pag-aawayan ninyo o may mga hindi man kayo pagkaintindihan ay alam niyo na kung ano ang gagawin ninyo because you've been there. Masarap sa feeling 'di ba na nagkaayos na kayo at nalagpasan ninyo ang pinag-aawayan ninyo?"
