Broken Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 2

Warning: Malandi.

---

I tried my hardest not to smile at buti na lang I succeeded. Magtataray ako. After all he said to me? No, magpapakipot ako. Ito kaya ang laging payo ng pinsan kong si Christine. For the first time susundin ko sya.

Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay. Nag-sad face sya. Shet hangcute nya! Pa'no ko 'to tatanggihan?

Nag-type sya ulit sa phone nya. Ronald Ralph Villanueva - Heartbroken lang kaya naging masungit. Bati na please? Ngumiti sya. Inihilig nya pa ang ulo nya and showcased his pearly whites in his war-stopping smile.

Nainguso ko ang labi ko. Shet ang gwapo nya. I just rolled my eyes to show him a reaction.

Ang yabang nito siguro akala nya gwapong-gwapo ako sa kanya. Oo he's sooo hot pero no, I need more. Remember Chloe kung anu-anong sinabi at tinype nya kanina para saktan ka. Nag-type ako: So? I won't give you my name.

Okay lang you're "Beautiful" to me... ang tinype nya.

Grabe sya. Anuba. Kaya pala kilig to the bones kasi ganun pala talaga yung pakiramdam! Waaa!

Wag kang kikiligin Chloe anuba? Tinakpan ko ng magazine ang mukha ko. Hindi ko 'to kaya. My heart cannot take his loveliness.

"Uy... bati na kami," sabi nya.

His voice is sweeter Lord than his typed words.

"Pasensya ka na ah, nasungitan kita. At least you know and you've seen my absolute worst. Yun na yun. Hindi naman ako ganun every time," sabi nya. "Rare yun promise."

Hindi ko alam kung mag-susungit pa rin ako o mag-gigive in na sa ngiti nya. "It was hurtful ah," I managed to say.

"Kaya nga eh. Sorry na," suyo nya and even poked me on my right arm.

He touched me! He touched me po!

I clenched my jaw para itago ang kilig.

"Pero ikaw din ah. You called me old, grumpy, unmarried. Masasakit din yun ah," sabi nya.

May point. "Sorry. Ikaw kasi eh," sisi ko rin sa kanya.

"Friends?" sabi nya at alok nya ng kamay.

"Okay. Friends," payag ko pero nagtaray pa rin ng kaunti. I took his hands.

There was tingling when our hands touched. He gripped my hand and I felt security and firmness but at the same time it was soft and vulnerable. He tugged me closer to him. He then whispered in my ear, "Are you going to tell me your name or shall I continue calling you Beautiful?"

I almost lost my composure sa kilig. "Ch-Chloe," I said when I found my voice.

"'Kay. Chloe," ulit nya. When he said my name parang iba, mas maganda. Parang mas maganda ako. I mean, parang mas maganda yung name ko.

Okay, I'm falling for this guy real quick and this shouldn't happen!!! Retrace your steps to pagpapakipot Chloe!!! Go back! Heed your cousin's advice for crying out loud.

I put my earphones in my ears.

"Oh, no," he suddenly said, pulling those away from me.

I got startled pero kinilig ulit ako nung nagtama ang mga kamay namin sa paghila nya ng earphones ko. I suddenly wanted to just hug him. Really.

"Bakit?" tanong ko pero alam ko naman na he wanted to talk. Hayyyyyyyyy...

"Tsk, 'wag. Kwentuhan tayo friend," sabi nya.
