Just friends

Labels

I felt my world crashing down right in my eyes, when I saw my 3 brothers came closer to us.

I was starting to panic, I wanted to run away and just leave everything behind.

Then I felt his hand held mine, I saw Andre's face darken when he looked at our hands.

"Aya, what the hell are you doing!" Kuya Allen said. Kuya Allen is the 2nd oldest in the family, we always fight because he's too controlling.

"We were worried sick about you!" Kuya Timothy said, he hugged me tight.

"Are you ok?" He said. Then he noticed the hand that was holding mine.

"Aya, who is he?" Kuya Timothy said, he's face changed from caring to irritated.

Unlike Kuya Allen, Kuya Timothy was the closest to me, he's older than me by 1 year, and we used to be mistaken to be twins.

But just like Kuya Allen, he's extremely protective... plus he's andre's bestfriend.

"He's King, King these are my brothers. Kuya Allen, Kuya Timothy and... Kuya Lee."

King offered a handshake to my brothers, but they seemed not interested.

Except, Kuya Lee. Kuya Lee reached King's hand and offered a handshake.

"I'm Lee, Aya's eldest brother. Who are you?" He said. He's face is serious.

"I'm Christopher James Bermudez, Aya's boyfriend."

"WHAT!?" We all screamed to King, except Kuya Lee, who remained calm.

"Hey, why are you surprised!?" Kuya timothy said to me.

I guess, I wasn't really sure. We never used a term for us, we were just enjoying what we had.

I cant help but smile, now its crystal clear. He loves me, and I love him.

No courting games. No guessing games anymore.

He said it. Plain and simple.

"Nothing." I said smiling and having a glance at my boyfriend.

Yeeeeeeeee. BOYFRIEND. Even the word gives me chills.

"We haven't had breakfast yet, do you want to have it with us?" King said casually.

"No. Thanks. We'll be taking our baby sister now." Kuya Allen said, and held my hand. He pulled me, but King never let go of my hand.

And I was never going to let go of his hand.

"Aya! Let go!" Kuya Allen screamed.

"I DONT WANT TO." I said, and pulled my hand away from Kuya Allen.

"Enough." Kuya Lee said, and we all shut up.

"Kuya, please." I told Kuya lee, I was like a little kid begging for candy.

Kuya Lee held my head, he look straight to my eyes.

That's Kuya Lee's signature look, he dont need to speak any more, he would just just give you his "shut up now look" and we will just shut up.

"Do you have a driver?" King asked courteous to them.

"We brought a car." Kuya Timothy said.

"I'll see u there." I said, and immediately pulled kings hand to the ATV.

"Hey! Your coming with us!" Kuya timothy said.

"We came here together, we leave together" I said.

We went to the ATV, and the motor roared to life.

I hugged him tight. I dont want to end whatever we had.

"Are you ok?" King said.

"Boyfriend huh." I teased him.

"Im not?" He asked.

"I did not say your not" I teased him.

He pushed the engine, and we went faster and faster and faster and then when we cant see my brother's car behind us, he shifted the gear and took a turn around.

He stop near a cliff, overlooking the Boracay beach.

"Say it now" He said.

"what?" I asked.

He went close to me, I try to move away a little bit.

But he put his arm at my shoulders.

"You were saying something when your brothers cut us off"

"ahhhh.. that." i said and smiled. So he was still thinking about it.

"Do I need to say it?" I teased him even more. His face was serious.

"Only if you mean it." He said a little irritated.

"I was just teasing you, dont be so pikon"

"I'm not!" he said. He's obviously mad, but he's trying to pretend not to be.

I smiled, what is stopping me to say how I feel. Nothing. Nothing that I cared about.

"I love you" I whispered in his ear, his eyes lit up and he had this huge grin in his face.

"what did you say!?!?" He said excited.

"I already said it, if you did not hear it, your fault."

"say it again! please!" he said.

"let's go, My brothers waiting for us for sure." I said.

He smiled this mischievous grin.

"you love me." he said.

"AYAAAAAA LOVES MEEEEEEEE!!!" he screamed in the cliff. I covered his lips and we both laughed.

"King, ang kulit mo! nakakahiya!!!" I told him.

"I LOVE YOU MY QUEEEEEEEEN!!!!!" he screamed again.

He embraced me tightly, I never felt this way. My heart raced so fast with him, I am not sure if its happiness or fear.

But whenever I'm with him, nothing mattered.

"Let's go" he said.

"Where?" I asked.

"To breakfast, with my future brothers in law." He said and gave me the sweetest smile.
