Boy Next Door (LeAga)

Special

My head is aching badly. Ano bang ginawa ko kagabi? Ah. Uminom ako. I open my right eye, looked around then closed it again. I did the same with my left eye. I am not in my room, I could tell. But the room looks familiar. Just then I remembered Lea's room. I opened my eyes and was about to stand when I felt something heavy on top of me.

And there I saw Lea on top of me, peacefully sleeping. Oh, God. What good have I done to make you put us on this position again? Ang tagal kong hinintay na matulog ulit ng katabi s'ya and to wake up next to her. Call me gay but I just felt so happy my tears well up.

I stared at her for quite long until I decided to put her down on the bed. I was about to stand when she hugged me tight.

"Hhmm.. Don't leave. I love you, Aga. I do." She said which shocked me.

She loves me? For real? I mean, ako yung mahal n'ya?

Napatakip ako bigla ng bibig at bahagyang tumawa. Ang manhid ko nga. Damn.

Kaya pala, kaya pala ganun na lang kung makapagsalita si Viceral. Ako pala. Ako pa rin pala. I am the one she loves. I am still the one who owns her heart.

"Asan na ba yung lalaking yun?" Bulong ko habang palabas ng office. Late na naman ang magaling na lalaking yun. Wag n'yang sabihing porket boyfriend ko na s'ya, lagi na lang s'yang late.

"Late na naman yung boyfriend mo?" I frowned.

"Jen, pwede ba? Kung wala kang matinong sasabihin, manahimik ka na lang." I said then walked pass her. Kailangan ko ng stress reliever and when I say stress reliever, it means, pizza!

"Sungit!" She whispered and yet I heard it.

"I heard you! That's the very reason why you don't wanna mess up with me especially in times like this, am I right?" I giggled and even turned to Jen gracefully to wink at her and make some pointing gestures and then smiled.

I heard her laugh and said, "Nobody wants to mess up with you, Lea. Kahit good mood ka pa."

Well, tama s'ya. And when I turned around to walk to the door, Rob suddenly showed up which rather shocked me so much I almost had a mini-heart attack.

"Ay pusang gala! Darn it Rob! What were you thinking?! Papatayin mo ba ako sa gulat?!" I yelled at him but he just smirked and grabbed me by my waist. He even drew his face near mine.

"Bakit kita papatayin if I still want to spend the rest of my life with you?" He said smiling. Yuck. Nakakadiri yung ngiti n'ya. Ngiting huhubaran ka anytime.

I pushed him away and calmly asked, "Who said anything about me spending life with you, Rob?"

"Eh sinong gusto mo, Lea? Si Aga? Yung mokong mong boyfriend na wala pa hanggang ngayon? That inconsiderate jerk who always makes you wait for him?" He countered with a mischievous smirk on his face.

"I'd rather wait for that inconsiderate jerk forever than consider even dating you, Rob. There's no freaking way I'll date you."

"Kakainin mo lahat ng sinabi mo, Lea. You'll see. Wait and see, Lea."

"Oh, really, Rob? I'm sorry. I won't waste my time waiting for you. Only Aga has the privilege to make me wait." I walked pass him and opened the door but someone showed up. Anong problema ng mga tao ngayon? Ang hihilig nila mang-gulat.

"Ah, kayo po ba si Ms. Lea? Lea Salonga?" the delivery boy, I guess, asked.

"Yes. Why do you care?" I asked left eyebrow raised.
