love sight

“ Bati na tayo ” You whispered.

Karina's mom already left so it’s just the two of you.

You pouted and looked down.

You're really not good at making up.

“ Hey. ”

Your head rose up when you heard her speak.

“ I’m sorry. ” Karina said. “ It was actually a misunderstanding. I went to see you last night and I heard it from your mouth, you said you love her and after that I left. ” and now she's explaining her side.

“ I understand. ” You replied with a smile formed on your lips.

“ But who told you to sing? ” Karina asked with a smile formed on her lips.

“ Why? pangit ba boses ko? sorry- ” You whispered and pouted even more when Karina laughed and whispered something after she cutted your words.

“ It's actually my first time hearing you sing, And you did great. ” Karina smiles at you.

You moved a bit, away from her as you played Be my Mistake by The 1975 and she looked at you.

“ Pwede ba kita isayaw? ” You asked and reached out your hand to hers.

“ Of course. ” Karina said and laughed.

Karina held your hand and pulled you to the middle of her room.

No one’s here except you and Karina.

Karina placed her hand on your neck while your both hands rested on her waist.

And be my mistake
And turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet

You moved your feet and looked into her eyes. “ You’re beautiful. ” You mumbled.

So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take

Karina moved her body closer to you and together both of you stepped backward.

Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard

“ I can hear your heartbeat. ” Karina mumbled. “ It’s beating so fast and yet it feels calm at the same time. ” she added.

But she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign

Karina rested her head on your chest after speaking.

'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake

“ Karina… ” You called her name as you remembered everything from what they told you about her to how she made your heart beat again.

And you know it’s hard for her to trust because of what had always happened to her.

“ I know the assurance I give isn’t enough, that’s why I’ll ask you now. ” You whispered.

Your feets moved in rhythm, and you could hear the beating of her heart. “ I’m not perfect because I also have flaws. ” You added and stopped.

I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet

“ But… ”

“ Are you willing to be with me for the rest of your life? ” You asked.

You didn’t move, even if your heart is beating fast, but you just let it be.

“ Don’t give up on her. ”

“ H’wag ka sana mapagod sakanya. ”

“ Choose her. ”

“ V, may tiwala ako sa’yo. ”

The fact that you are actually waiting for this moment before you ask her.

Karina already gave the answer you needed now.

“ V. ”

Karina came closer to you and whispered her answer to your ear.

“ Of course, love. ”

“ I’m all yours now. ” she added.

Karina moved away from you and smiled.
She then held your face and caressed it. “ Girlfriend ko. ”

You can’t help but smile.

You're blushing.

You thought, if Karina is a mistake, then you're gladly willing to bring everything down just to have her, even if it's a mistake.
