Unexpected (ON HOLD)

Chapter 17

We lie there in silence. My left arm was wrapped around her waist as my lips were almost brushing the fabric on her shoulder. How I wish these 20 seconds would never end.

I'm gonna be honest, gulong-gulo na yung utak ko ngayon. Oo, boyfriend ko si Jason. Pero whenever I see her, para siyang tornado that sucks up all the problems and negativity in my thoughts tapos.. tapos siya na lang yung natitira. It's so effin' nerve-wracking. Kung alam niyo lang.
Of course normal lang sa dalawang magkaibigan na babae na maglambingan.. kaso samin kasi sumosobra na. Minsan kasi di ko na talaga mapigilan e. Hehe. Can you even blame me? Glaiza de Castro kaya 'to. Hello?! Lalaki, babae, lesbian, gay, kahit nga siguro alien mabibighani dito e.

Sakanya siguro, wala lang 'tong mga pinaggaga-gawa ko. Yung mga simpleng banat at damoves, kasi nga love team kami. Hindi niya alam na sa'kin, iba na. Gusto ko na siya e. At tanggap ko naman na hindi niya ko magugustuhan kasi parehas kaming babae. Ano nga ba namang laban ko diba?
Pero kahit hanggang kaibigan lang ako, ang swerte swerte ko. Atleast nayayakap ko siya, napapatawa, na--

"Ehem. Yon, lampas 20 seconds na." she chuckled as she disturbed my thoughts. "ang bigat mo po kaya."

I scrunched my eyebrows together "Ang yabang mo." and pushed myself up.

I grabbed her hand and helped her up. We faced each other and I smiled at her. She smiled back and touched my arm. "What was that for? May problema ka ba, Yon?" concern clear in her eyes and voice.

Oo, ikaw. "Wala, wala. Gusto lang kita i-hug. Masama ba?" I lied. But it was still partially true.

She rolled her eyes and looked back at me. "Di mo ko madadaan sa ganyan mo, Howell. Kilala kita." she stated as she put down her hand that was on my arm. "But I'm not going to push you into saying something that you don't want to share. Pero remember na nandito 'ko lagi ha? Dadamayan kita kahit ano man yan."
