*Knock Knock*
"Ugh. Sino ba yan. Let me sleep please!" I looked at the clock and saw it's only 5 pm.
Naririnig ko ang boses ni Keila. Bahala sya dyan basta ako inaantok pa.
After 5 minutes, may kumakalabit naman sakin. Damn it!
"Ughhhh!!!! Can't you see I am sleepin.."
"Hi." Ang gwapo naman at may dala pang roses. Hihihi.
"Uh hi! What are you doing here, Zachy?"
"Ikaw talaga. Antukin. We have a date. Remember?"
Ay putcha. Oo nga pala! Nakalimutan ko!
"5:30. 6pm right? Give me 30 minutes to prepare."
"Hahaha. Chill, Kels. Go on and prepare. I'll just wait for you.
And by the way, those are for you. Happy regularization! I am proud of you! Mwah!"
At nginuso nya pa ung lips nya na parang kiss. Pisti. Kinikilig ako. Hanggang ganyan ka lang naman Zach eh. Huhu. Lambing kapatid. Lambing na pangbestfriend. Kaya kayo, kung may bff kayong lalake, huwag kayong mafafall. Nakakabaliw!
After 30 minutes, I am all set. I am just wearing white shorts, off shoulder pink top and spartan sandals. Light make up lang. Konting paganda syempre. Baka sakaling mapansin niya ako in a different way. Char.
"Keila, don't go out or sleep without locking the doors okay?? You take care here. And eat."
Palabas na ko ng pinto ng may binulong sakin si Keila.
"Itext mo ko pag dumating at manggulo ung demonyita okay? Susugod ako kahit nakaPJs pa ko! Moment nyo to ni papa Zach!"
"Hahaha. You're crazy!" She is talking about Zach's girlfriend. Last time kasi na umalis kami ni Zach eh sinugod ako ng babaeng yun.
----------------
We're both quiet inside the car. Wala talagang nagsasalita saming dalawa.
Now playing: Somebody to you by The Vamps feat. Demi Lovato
I really love this song. Ang galing kasi ni Demi loves eh. I was quietly singing when I noticed that Zach is also singing. I feel comfortable by just hearing his voice. He smiled at me and that's the cue to sing together.
"Look at me now, I'm falling. Can't even talk, still stuttering.."
Aray ko beh. Patama ung kanta sakin.
And the rest was a car jaaaam.
"That was fun, Kels. Okay pala nuh? I should tell the band to practice that."
Zach is a member of a band named Music Skyline. He is the vocalist. Sila ang naging barkada ko nung nag-aaral ako. At sila ang dahilan kung bakit ako naging bandwhore. Magaling sila at bukod sila ay mga papalicious kaya benta talaga sila sa madla.
"Where to, Zach?"
"Megamall."
MEGA WHATTT??? -.- Ano ba naman yan. Lagi na nga ako dun tapos dun pa din kami papunta.
Pagdating namin ng megamall. Naghanap lang ng parking near the supermarket si Zach. Pumasok lang kami sa grocery then kumuha sya ng cart. Hah. I think I know this one.
Zach went to the pasta section, ako naman nakasunod lang. Bigla syang lumingon sakin then said "Cook for me please."
------
Home date pala ang gusto netong isang to. Ganyan sya pag naglalambing. Nagrerequest na ipagluto ko sya. I decided to prepare carbonara, ham and cheese roll and chicken fillet. Favorite nya lahat yan. Kahit araw araw mong ipakain sa kanya yan, mabubuhay na siya.
"Do you need help, Kels?"
"Thanks. But, NO. Kung gusto mong masunog tong bahay mo, sige tumulong ka."
"Hahahahahhaa. Harsh, Kelly. Harsh. Alright then. I'll just prepare the spot. Call me if you need anything."
Zach and cooking. Worst combination. Ni magprito hindi marunong yan.
So after an hour and a half, I'm done. Sa may garden ang place namin,. Ang cute kasi picnic style, may bonfire and pillows. And ang ganda ng buwan ngayon. So dinner by the moonlight ba itey? Charot.
"The best pa din! Saraaaaap"
"Mambobola. Sawa ka na dyan eh."
"Ui hindi ah. Ikaw kaya ang best carbonara cook. Hindi ko yun pagpapalit."
Hahaha. Obvious na nagustuhan niya. Naka-apat na serving kaya sya. Takaw. Bigla syang tumayo. Pagbalik niya, dala na niya yung gitara niya.
"Ahem ahem. Dahil pinagluto mo ako, I'm gonna sing for you."
Now playing: Be your everything by Boys like girls
"Four letter word.. I don't have the guts to say it. Smile til it hurts. Let's not make it complicated. We got a story and I'm about to change it.."
His voice is still heaven to me. Tuwing kakantahan niya ko. Napapatitig na lang ako sa kanya. Shete. Kinikilig ako.
"I'll be your shelter, I'll be your storm. I'll make you shiver. I'll keep you warm. Whatever weather, baby, I'm yours. Be your forever, be your fling. Baby, I will be your everything."
After the song, he just gave me his sweetest smile. My heart melts. I'm in love with him. Big time.
"So???"
"Walang kupas. I am still your fan."
"Nyay! Ikaw tong mambobola eh. Hahaha. So, kumusta? I mean how's life? Work?"
"Okay naman. Work is great and uhm.. I will be singing.. Again. For the company party."
Ang tagal bago magregister sa utak niya ng sinabi ko. Bigla na lang niya kong niyakap.
"God, Kels. Finally!!! What made you change your mind?"
"Keila. She told me to give it a shot. Since it will be a new environment. So I realize, why not."
"I'm so happy you'll be back on stage soon. If you need help, let me know. And please don't forget the video. I wanna see."
"Haha. Okay. How about you? Kumusta?"
"Well. Good as well. Work is exhausting but okay. Pag may time, may gigs pa din kami. The guys miss you. You should visit them. I told them na kasama kita ngayon. Ang daya ko daw hahaha."
"Hahaha. I miss them too. Sa susunod, sila naman idedate ko. Hmm. How about Lauren? Kumusta kayo?"
Torture to. Sige, Kelly. Kumustahin mo ang taong mahal mo at ang girlfriend niya.
"Uhh. We're good. Turning 8 months already. Not bad. But we still fight. A lot. Sometimes, it's about little things. Sometimes, about you. But no worries, okay."
"Hey, if hindi niya alam to, at magagalit sya, I can go, Zach. Ok lang naman."
Ginulo niya yung buhok ko at tumawa ng konti.
"Silly. I don'tcare if she will be mad."
"Pero ayoko ng ako ang dahilan ng away niyo."
"Kelly, you're my best friend. I can stand her being mad at me but I can't stand it when you're not there."
Tahimil lang ako na nakikinig sa kanya. Alam kong may sasabihin pa siya pag ganyan sya kaseryoso.
"I decided to enter your life, Kels. When I said, I want to be there for you. That's a promise. That's my commitment to you. And there's no way of turning back, Kelly. Not a chance."
