Fangirling Overload [COMPLETED]

Part 8.

That brought me up to reality. Is his sweetness just his scheme to get to me? I don't know.

Dahil gustong gusto ko siya, aaminin ko, marupok ako pagdating sa kanya. Because why not? He's the man of my dreams.

And yet, I have to be proactive. Baka naman pa-fall lang itong si Joseph. Kahit sabihin pa niyang 'he's fond of me', it's still doubtful kasi he's a rising star.

But you are his moon, I shake my head upon hearing that out of nowhere. Nasisiraan na yata ako.

Lumabas na kami sa kwarto ko dahil nag aya nang kumain si mama, brunch. We talk about my meet up with the Kairos over the meal. Sobrang inggit lang ni Sunshine.

Pagkatapos kong magligpit ay bumalik na ako sa kwarto para icheck ang phone ko. Hindi pa full-charged. Kaya I opened the laptop to visit my twitter account.

Ang dami kong notifications even DM's. Upon checking, I saw Joseph's name on the top.

Joseph:
'still not answering :('
'hey'
'wake up'
'home?'

I replied immediately. Telling him what happened. Hindi siya nagreply agad, siguro offline siya. Kaya nagtweet nalang ako.

I tweeted my picture with the Kairos; 'One for the books' -was my caption.

That gained attention from the twitter people, telling me I'm so lucky to meet them alone. They even asked if Joseph and I are kind of dating.

Imposible.

Inistalk ko iyong profile niya sa Facebook to get an info about that girl Celine. Umabot pa ako sa mga posts niya two years ago bago ako nakasagap ng impormasyon.

I found her social media account, she's so pretty, mestiza. Tingin ko ay mukha siyang manyika sa personal.

See? His ex is so beautiful how can he even like me. Given that he told me that he's fond of me but that doesn't mean he likes me na. Diba?

Like, I'm fond of Kern and Gio but I don't like them the way I like Joseph.

Maybe it's the same thing with Joseph.

After spending time comparing my picture to Celine's, I went back to Twitter. Nakita ko iyong reply niya sa tweet ko.

Joseph:
Unattended phone mo. Kanina pa ako tumatawag.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko roon at agad kong chineck iyong phone kong naka-on na pala.

24 missed calls from Joseph? Really?

The moment I pressed the home button ay saka naman ang pagring ng phone ko-it's him.

Halos magtatalon pa ako sa kilig dahil sa pangalan niya sa caller ID. Before it dies, I composed myself and answer the phone.

Tumikhim ako, "Hello?"

"Hey..." What would I give to hear his bedroom voice?

It's noonish and maybe he's still tucked on his bed.

"Tanghali na..." Sumalampak ako sa kama at sumandal sa headboard.

"Pinuyat mo kasi ako," he then chuckles.

"Ano?!"

"Been calling you last night. I stayed the night waiting for any message of you. None came."

I bite my lip feeling guilty, "Sorry."

Suminghap siya at nakarinig ako ng kaluskos. "Wait up," mas dumami ang kaluskos. Makaraan ang ilang saglit ay nawala ang mga iyon, "Sorry. Nag earphones lang ako."

"Okay..." Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko.

He chuckles, "You wearing the bracelet?"

Napatingin ako sa kaliwang kamay ko, "I am, of course. Bigay mo, eh." Humalakhak ako.

"Let me see. Hmm... Video call?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at hindi makapaniwala sa mungkahi niya, "Seryoso?"

Mukha naman akong presentable pero hello! Joseph 'tong haharapin ko, well... Virtually.

"Yeah..." He chuckled at my panic. Then, after just a couple of minutes, the call was ended and his request for a video call swiftly pops up.

Nanginginig ko iyong pinindot pagkatapos kong ayusin ang buhok ko. Tinakpan ko iyong front camera ko para hindi niya ako makita. Nahihiya ako.

Pagkakita ko sa kanya ay nahiya talaga ako dahil sobrang gwapo niya kahit nakahiga siya sa kama niya.

Never thought that I will get to see my idol in his bed clothes and he's damn handsome at it.

"It's all black, I can't see you," he whines.

"Nahh! I look awful!"

"I don't know, Sandra. But your description of 'awful' is quite the opposite of what I know. C'mon, let me see you... Huh?"

Kinagat ko ang labi ko at unti unting tinanggal ang hinlalaki ko sa front camera ng phone ko, I made a face.

"See? I don't know why you told me you look that way but to me you're way far, far from that."

"Oo na, oo na. Binobola mo lang naman ako." Compared to your ex, I look awful.

Humalakhak siya, "Hindi ko alam. Pero ang sigurado ako ngayon ay gusto kitang puntahan diyan sa inyo."

"B-bakit mo ako pupuntahan?" I looked away, feeling ko pinamumulahanan na ako ng mukha.

"I miss you."

"Y-yeah?" Utal ko.

"Yeah. Don't you feel the same?"

Bakit ang flirt mo, Joseph?

"I miss you, too..."

"Pupunta na ako diyan-"

"-What?! Seryoso?" Nagulat ako sa desisyon niya.

"Bakit? Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?" Umiling ako sa sinabi niya. "Ipasyal mo ako diyan. Date tayo."

"W-wala naman akong alam na magandang puntahan dito..." Hindi kasi ako masyadong mahilig mag gala kaya hind ko alam kung ano madalaa puntahan dito.

May alam akong mga lugar but he may find it boring.

"Edi diyan sa bahay. May alam kasi akong maganda na puntahan diyan."

Baffled, "Ano?"

"Kausap ko."
