Art of being a Player...

Promise

Yes..All I need is TIME

One year later...

"Angel..Wake up.."

Upon hearing his voice, mas lalo kong isiniksik ang mukha ko sa pillow. I am so sleepy and it's his fault kung bakit hindi ako makabangon ngayon dahil sa puyat.

"Come on angel.." he said sweetly as I felt his warm hand on my waist, while his lips went on my neck showering me with light kisses.

"Hmnnn.."

"If you will not stand up in the count of three, I will be forced to join you on the bed then we will spend our whole day here..then we will missed our flight---"

I pushed him to cut him to what he is saying.

"Fine! Eto na nga oh, tatayo na!" nakasimangot kong sabi then inalis ko ang comforter sa katawan ko at tumayo.

He on the other hand is laughing at me.

"This is your fault, ang harot mo kasi..you did not let me sleep early!" I whined then naupo ako sa kama.

He kneeled infront of me, and kissed me on my lips.

"Is it my fault if you are so delectable?" he teased.

I smacked his chest and push him, I turned away because I don't want him to see my flushed face.

"Perv!" I said then I walk towards the bathroom.

"You want me to bathe you?" pahabol nyang tanong with matching halakhak.

It's been a year since we decided to stay here at New York..at first nagpunta ako dito during summer break para lang mag bakasyon at makalimot..pero narealize ko na di ko parin sya makakalimutan ng ilang buwan lang..kaya I decided na dito sa New York mag OJT..at that time alam ko malaki ang maitutulong ng internship sa New york para maka move on, at the same time, may magandang company ang tumangap sa application ko for internship. Sinuportahan naman ako ng buong family ko, at di na ko nagtaka ng sumama saakin si Coreen at Eunice. Nung una ayoko pang pumayag dahil alam kong may sarili silang buhay..pero dahil siguro para na kaming magkakapatid kaya di rin namin kaya malayo sa isat isa ng matagal. Pero what shocked me is the idea that Travis also decide to take his Internship here in New York, he said that he wanted to take care of me. And after few moths I just found myself falling for him. He was so sweet and caring, he made me forget all the heartaches that I've been through and he even made me forget the PLAYBOY. Travis became my savior, he made me feel loved and he had been a perfect boyfriend..and what's important is that we are happy. After 3 months in relationship he decided to stay with us in my condo. My condo have 3 bedrooms. So dahil tig iisa na kami nila Coreen nagdecide kami na sa room ko nalang si Travis, why not? he is after all my boyfriend, besides ginagalang naman nya ako, never kaming lumampas sa make out..puro make out lang.

Palagi rin kaming dinadalaw ng mga kaibigan namin, at twing nagkakakwentuhan they always made sure na walang magbabangit nang pangalan ni Cian. It's like he doesn't exist in our world, hindi na rin ako nag open nang kahit anong social media ko pati si Travis ay ganun din ang ginawa, while si Eunice at Coreen naman ay hindi nagbabangit ng kahit anon a nangyayari sa Pilipinas, kaya wala akong balita tungkol sakanya kaya naging tahimik ang buhay ko.

I am confident to say, that I am now contented and happy.

Yes, nakamove on na ako.

And I know that to myself...dahil alam ko na lahat ang galit na nararamdaman ko kay Cian, ay wala na.

I can even laugh at everything that happened in the past.

Pero di parin siguro maiiaalis yung fact na sinaktan nya ako..kaya hindi ko alam kung kaya ko ibigay ang hinihingi nyang friendship, siguro ok na maging civil ako sakanya. Mukhang tama din ang sabi nila na 'you can't be friends with your ex'.

"Hey, angel you are spacing out. Are you ok?"

Napalingon ako kay Travis na nag aalalang nakatingin saakin, kasalukuyan kaming nasa eroplano.

"I'm fine." I said and I gave him a warm smile.

He sighed.

Then napatingin sya sa harap nya, na para bang may iniisip na malalim.

Mukhang sya ang hindi ok.

"Hey..looks like ikaw ang may problema huh.."nakangiti kong sabi.

"I'm just worried.." he said without looking at me.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko, hinawakan ko ang mukha nya a iniharap ko saakin.

"Worried about what?" taka kong tanong.

Kinuha nya nag kamay ko na nasa mukha nya at hinalikan ang likod ng palad ko.

"Us." He said while looking straight into his eyes.

"Us?"

He sighed again.

"In a few minutes we will be in the Philippines.."

"So?" naguguluhan kong tanong.

"You will see him again."he said as he smiled sadly.

My lips parted.

Oh? my Travis is scared that my feelings might change if I will see the PLAYBOY again. Maybe I should let him know how much he meant to me and how much I love him, para walang doubt or insecurities syang maramdaman.

"Travis! So what kung Makita ko sya?" magkasalubong kilay kong tanong.

"Y-you might r-realize that you still love him.."he said before looking away.

See? He's really  scared.

"Oh my..you're doubting my love for you? Look Travis, I love you and I'm telling you the truth. I'm not using you for rebound! You are a nice man, you are sweet and caring and you made me feel loved. And I'm so lucky to have you..and that's the reason why I fell in love with you..so you have nothing to worry about. I'm over him Travis..please believe me."

He looks at me with so much love in his eyes, then he smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"And I love you too..You're the only girl that I ever love. All I want is for you to be happy, if he is your happiness then I'm willing to set you free, but if you really love me then I will never let you go...and that's a PROMISE. " he said before kissing the top of my head.

I know that he is still not convinced, pero I'll show him that he is the one that I really love and not the Playboy. He might be my first, but I know in my heart that Travis will be my last.

Napatingin ako sa bintana, I know na pagdumating kami sa Pilipinas ay kailangan uli namin mag adjust, unang una nalang sa bahay..babalik na ako sa Mansyon namin while si Travis naman ay sa Condo nya. I'm used to having Travis beside me all day..Yung tipong bago ako matulog sya ang makikita ko, at pag gising ko ay sya din ang masisislayan ko.

Things might change when we arrive at the Philippines, but I'll make sure that our love for each other will never change...and that's my Promise.
