How Did We Get Here?

Chapter 24

Bea POV

I lifted her and brought her sa office ko where we always have lunch together pag may session siya. Nagpapadeliver ako para dito na siya kumain at makasama ko siya ng mas matagal.

"Alam mo tigil mo na yang kakabuhat sakin nakakahiya sa clients niyo at sa mga tao mo."

"Kilala ka naman nila at kilala mo din sila bakit ka mahihiya? Isa pa I don't know how long I can keep doing this. Pag ok ka na baka di ka na ulit bumalik pa dito kaya hayaan mo na ko."

"Alam mo there is no winning with you."

"Pero bakit feeling ko ako yung laging natatalo pagdating sayo?"

I took a sip of my drink. "Cait di mo ba ko namimiss kahit konti?"

"No comment."

"Nagbreak lang tayo parang di na tayo magkaibigan?"

"It's hard to be friends with your exes. Tanggapin na lang natin yun."

------------------------------------------

Cait and I were eating lunch when a staff called me.

"Boss may naghahanap sayo."

"Sandali lang Cait." She nodded in acknowledgement.

Nakita ko si Aleiah. "What are you doing here?"

"Why are you asking? Banned na ba ko dito?"

"Hindi naman but you should have given me a heads up bago ka pumunta."

"I don't remember having a need to get an appointment to see you before."

"Look can we go outside and talk privately instead?"

"It's so hot outside and you have an office. Why are you directing me elsewhere?"

"Well my office is pretty messy right now though."

Aleiah shook her head and walked straight to my office.

"Aleiah!" I called but she didn't stop. I just saw her stood outside my office with a disappointed face when I caught up to her.

"Hey uhm..."

She turned around and headed to the exit. I let her face me.

"I needed to see for myself."

"I'm sorry."

"Why be sorry for using someone to get over your ex, when it was your intention in the first place?"

I walked to my office with my head bowed down. Glad to see Cait was still there.

"Bei sorry di na kita naintay tinapos ko na agad yung kinakain ko. Magpapaalam lang ako sayo na mauuna na ko."

I sat in the chair beside her and held her hand. "I won't ask you this again I promise but can you stay pls just this once?"

Cait nodded and pulled me to her chest and absorbed all the sadness I held with me. I will always be that child who would succumb to her warmth and comfort.

"Hindi naman tayo. You could just tell her that."

"Kahit di man maging tayo ulit. Alam naman ng lahat ang totoo that I still have it bad for you. Even if I try to take that leap in looking elsewhere. My heart will always belong to you. Ganun lang ang mangyayari and I just end up hurting a poor girl's feelings just like hers."

"If you want hindi na ko magpapakita if it would be easier for you."

"You think I don't know? Kung gusto mo talagang lumayo sakin edi hindi ka na sana bumabalik balik pa diba?"

I reviewed the CCTV footages and yes it was Cait who kept checking on me.

Last session na ni Cait and she is able to walk much better.

"Pano ba yan pwede mo ng iuwi yung kotse mo?"

"Yah I never got to thank you in person for all the lifting and hatid sundo. Thank you Bei."

Hinatid ko na ito sa car niya. While holding her car door she turned to me.

"Bei can I see your room one last time before I go?"

"Of course but you know that's your room too."

Pagkabukas ko ng door at lights I noticed Cait's wondering eyes they fell on the picture frames that were still hanging on the walls. Andun pa rin kasi lahat ng pictures namin.

"Why Bei?" Tears were streaming down her beautiful face. I couldn't help but wipe them away.

"Maghihintay at maghihintay pa rin ako sa pagbabalik mo e." Kinuha ko ang kamay nito at nilagay sa pisngi ko at hinalikan.

"Pano kung wala ka ng dapat intayin?"

"Hindi alam Cait ng puso ko yung term na move on. It doesn't know how to move on from you. I know I'm fucked up but I love you. Maybe I loved you too much it became suffocating. I became insufferable."

"Mahal din naman kita I just don't know how to fix us."

"Hindi ko din alam Cait kung paano. Kasi feeling ko nga pag lumapit uli ako mapapaso ka na naman sa pag-ibig na inaalay ko. At madudurog na naman ako habang napupuno ng lungkot ang iyong mga mata sa tuwing nasasaktan kita kasi ganito ako. I hate loving you too much but I hate letting you go. I hate being me when it comes to you yet I hate thinking about you finding happiness with someone else. And apparently you are also the only thing that makes sense in my life. The only thing good in this messed up world of mine."

"We tried staying away from each other naman pero for some reason I still find myself being drawn to you. Are we really meant for this kind of relationship? Should we give it another try?"

"I'm fucked up with you. I'm fucked up evenmore without you. But I will still choose you over and over again." I pulled her in and sealed our lips together. I couldn't get enough of her. I'm tired of fighting with myself. I just want to be with this girl. If she is willing to go through hell with me then so be it.
