Broken Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 5

"I don't want to be that guy. I need to move on. I have to move on," sabi nya after a long silence. He hugged me and kissed my shoulders. "Kaya thanks for making me feel it again?" he said unsure.

Tumawa ako. "What do you mean? For giving you a hard on?"

Natawa sya. "Let me explain myself. I'm not a horny old guy okay? After her, I really found it difficult to move on, well, I still think about her but aside from that, I have not had interest in other girls. Siguro kasi ayokong madungisan ako in case bumalik sya sa'kin, it'd be nice if I'd be free, alam mo yun? Ang lame 'no?"

"Super," agree ko.

"Kaya I didn't want to involve myself with other people, not romantically, not sexually, kasi baka magkabalikan kami. Pero alam ko nang hindi na mangyayari yun. Pero yun nga when I lost her the first time after we had an intense affair, I had difficulties in ... that area."

"You mean having sex?!?"

"Sige ilakas mo pa. Hindi pa ata narinig ng mga taga-Romblon," naasar nyang sabi pero natawa.

Tawa ako ng tawa sa Romblon joke nya. "Pero seriously?"

"Yeah, precisely the reason why my then ex-fiancée had an affair with that guy my ex is marrying now, to satisfy that," tiim nyang sabi.

"Nooo, you're joking."

"I hope that I was Chloe," sabi nya.

"And you felt it again when you saw my cleavage on the plane?" tanong ko feeling special.

"What? No!" seryoso nyang tanggi.

"Ha?" naguguluhan 'kong tanong.

"I think I was turned on with you when we were fighting at nung sinusuyo kita. Weird 'no?" sabi nya.

"Really? So my girls didn't do it for you?" nagpapatawa 'kong joke na half-meant. My boobs are nice. Hindi nya napansin? Sad?

"What? No! I mean, I hadn't noticed. Would you like me to notice it? I would, sige later," natatawa nyang sabi.

"Wala na, nasaktan mo na sila," nagtatampo kong biro.

Tawa sya ng tawa. His hug became tighter. "Thank you, thank you ah," bulong nya sa tenga ko. "Without you, siguro passed out ako sa kalasingan dito sa Boracay. Pero ito oh you're making me laugh. Babawi ako sa'yo."

Talaga? Sige nga. Pa'no kaya? How could he make it up to me? Will he love me? Will he take this there?

"How?" tanong ko.

"I don't know yet pero I will," sabi nya.

"Kanta ka ulit," suggest ko. Aba ang galing eh! Hindi ko pa ba sasamantalahin?

"Sige. Dun lang ako okay eh," payag nya.

"Anong okay? Singer ka ata eh."

"Hindi 'no," tanggi nya. Pinatong nya ang baba nya sa balikat ko. Muntik na 'kong mahimatay sa kilig. "Anong gusto mong kanta?"

"Ikaw," sabi ko. I meant it's his choice.

"Mmm," nag-isip sya. His thinking sound was sexy. "Ah!"

He must've thought of a song kasi he was slightly swaying. "I'm always thinking about you, I wonder if you can tell," simula nya.

'Di ko talaga mapaniwalaan ang ganda ng boses nya. He looked at me and smiled.

"These things I'm feeling inside me, I keep them all to myself. Scared to show my true emotions," napapikit pa sya sa taas ng kinanta. "Don't wanna live alone." Na-achieve nya yung kulot.
