"You said it again, my heart's in motion. Every word feels like a shooting stars,"  pagsabay ni Mave sa chorus habang nagmamaneho.

Hindi ko talaga maintindihan despite having some "red flags" ay malakas pa rin ang epekto ng nilalang na'to sa'kin.

Wait. I haven't introduced myself and yet here we are, at chapter three na agad.

The name's Eleazel Bree Imperial. I am a second year college student taking Business Administration major in Financial Management.

I was raised by my mama all by herself as my 'father' ran away from the responsibility like the track on field athlete he is.

It was Mave who pulled me from the dire strait I was in. It was him who became my shoulder to lean on and my kasangga in every difficulties that life throws on me, on us.

I am gay. I came to a realization na I'm different noong grade school pa lang. However, I didn't like being teased and asked if bakla ba ako. I remember how I'm always offended and hurt kapag pinapansin talaga pagiging malambot ng kilos at kahinhinan ng boses ko.

I wholeheartedly accepted my sexual orientation pagtapak ko ng high school. Now, people that asks whether bakla ba ako  doesn't affect me na kase 'yon naman talaga ako, pero those who ask it in a teasing/mocking manner ay talaga namang ipinakukulam ko. Kidding.

I am the type that doesn't initiate a conversation be it online or personal lalo na sa mga 'di ko talaga ka-close. I'm introvert, maarte, anxious and overly conscious talaga. Kaya nga I'm grateful for Maverick's patience. Ewan ko kung anong nakain niya at kinaibigan talaga ako.

We reached their home at pinark na niya ang kotse. Ganap na ganap siya sa pagiging prinsipe dahil siya pa nagbukas ng pinto ng car para sa'kin. Binigyan ko na lang siya ng halik— HA?!— ng pitik sa noo dahil nang-aasar na naman.
"Grabe ka, sakit nun!" aniya habang hinihimas ang noo. 
"Sorry, binubwiset mo na naman kase ako eh." binitbit ko ang bag at isinara ang pinto ng sasakyan at inaya na niya akong pumasok.

Sinalubong kami ng mama niya at niyakap kami pareho. 
"Right on time, hali na kayo."
