Bea's POV
Shit! Shit! Please say something, Cait....
"Are you for real?!" Cait's doubtful voice broke through the haze of my thoughts, snapping me back to reality. I could feel the weight of her gaze on me, searching for any sign of insincerity in my words.
This was the moment I had been waiting for, the moment I had both feared and hoped for. My heart pounded in my chest as I parked the car, my hands shaking slightly on the wheel. It felt like fate had guided us to this spot, this precise moment in time. Biruin mo yun sakto may parking lot dito sa dinadaanan namin.
Taking a deep breath, I mustered all the courage I had and turned to face Cait. Her eyes widened in surprise, her expression a mix of disbelief and curiosity. I could practically see the questions swirling in her mind, the uncertainty etched on her face.
But amidst all the chaos and uncertainty, there was something else in her eyes—a flicker of hope, a glimmer of possibility. Sana nga meron. And in that moment, I knew that I had to be honest with her, no matter how terrifying it might be.
"Cait," I said, maintaining a calm tone despite my emotions. "I know this might seem sudden, and maybe a little crazy, tama naman kasi Cait, inaya lang kasi talaga kita dito na walang plano sa utak ko. Hindi rin ako ready pero basta makasama ka lang, pero I need you to know... I'm here because I can't imagine not being here. Because every moment I spend with you feels like it's exactly where I'm meant to be. Cait, you know me, you know what happened to me before, you know what I went through, right? Remember nung bubble our heart-to-heart talks? You know how I limit myself na after that, you know how I became careful falling in love again. Lagi kong sinasabi na family muna, career muna, pero Cait nandyan ka, e, binago mo lahat pakonti-konti."
"I've fallen for you, Cait," I continued, my voice softening with sincerity. "And I know it's a risk, opening myself up like this. But I'm willing to take that risk, because the thought of not telling you how I feel is even scarier."
"Bea, I... I don't know what to say. Nambibigla ka naman eh."
I reached out, gently taking her hand in mine, "You don't have to say anything, Steaks" I whispered "Just know that everything I've said, everything I feel—it's all for you."
"I didn't plan for any of this to happen either, but sometimes life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. As I said this is a spontaneous trip for us lang pero here we are... but I'm happy, Cait atleast ngayon you know what's my intention na."
Silence once again filled our car, the music had stopped playing, and both of us were now staring out the window, but I still held her hand.
"Bei, I guess it's my turn to speak now," she then broke the silence and took a deep breath
I turned to look at her, "Go on, Steaks I'm here to listen whatever that is." Daheck I can't hide my nervousness! Relax Bea.
