We Could Happen

Chapter 30 - I fell in LOVE with my best friend

CHESKA

I hate JAMES!!!! I hate him so much!!!!!!!

Since Jeff started asking me out, he changed.

He doesn't talk to me that much. When I start to talk, he always cuts me off. When I ask him questions, he always answers with only one word or a nod.

He doesn't wait for me. He's always asleep when I come home.

He doesn't have plans of spending the weekends with me. He doesn't ask me out on the weekends.

It's been a month now! And I'm not used to this.

I miss him.

How could I miss someone I see everyday?

I miss annoying him.

I miss irritating him.

I miss nagging him.

I miss controlling him.

I miss telling my stories to him.

I miss laughing with him.

I miss his voice.

I just miss being with him.

ARRRRGGGG!!! This feeling is killing me! I hate him!!!! It's all his fault.

I don't know what he told Jeff and I don't know what Jeff told him, but everything started since that day they went out. What the hell was in that drink that he drank anyway?

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!! I really hate him!!!

How many times have I said the line I hate him?

Eh kasi nga I really hate him!!!

****

Jeff asked me out this weekend again.

I honestly don't want to go out. I'm not really in the mood.

But I don't know why I couldn't say NO!

He said we're going to Universal Studios.

I would have been ecstatic had it been James who asked me to go there.

I don't know but I should be happy, right?

It's Jeff asking me out.

It's Jeff bringing me to places.

I wanted this to happen, right?

I've dreamt of this, right?

But I did not think that this dream coming true would affect my friendship with James.

I did not think that going out with Jeff means losing James.

AAAARRRRGGG! I don't want to think anymore.

I just hope I enjoy Universal Studios with Jeff.

The place was great.

My companion was actually great.

But did I have a great time?

I don't know.

"Did you have a great time, Louise?" Jeff asked. We were at some diner. We were so tired after going around the Universal Studios. Nakakadrain ng energy!

"Yeh! I did!" I managed to smile.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"I really enjoyed being with you. Thank you for giving me a chance to show you how much I care for you."

I smiled. I did not know what to say. Ngayon lang kasi uli sya nagsasabi ng mga 'to. For a month now, we just enjoyed each other's company ... no serious talks. And I'm glad na ganun kasi I'm afraid that if he asks me some questions ... I would not know how to answer them.
