Half Of My Heart

31 Second Chances

Kim was speechless. She watches Xian as he walked towards her. She wants to go and walk away before she spills out her real feelings, but her feet was glued to the ground.

"Kim..." Xian said.

"Um.." Kim looked around and puts on her angry face, "anong gimik nanaman 'to?!"

"Kim, hindi 'to gimik. Gusto ko lang mag sorry. I'm sorry for what happened. I didn't mean to do that.." Xian said sincerely as he handed her the flowers. Kim took it from him and smiled slightly.

"Salamat." She said.

Xian held out his hand, and Kim took it as he lead her to the small table.

"You know the barkada worked hard for this, so you don't want to waste their hard work, don't you?" Xian asked giving her the look that she always wants to melt.

"No.." Kim mumbled.

"Okay! So shall we?" Xian smiled and pulled out the chair for her.

Kim did not say anything but sat down.

There was an awkward silence between them. Kim doesn't know what to say. She's too afraid that if she talks, she might slip out and say what she really felt.

Meanwhile after their dinner, Kim watched the man playing the violin with a slow song. Xian stood up and held out his hand.

"Um.. its okay.." Kim said, while her cheeks starts to turn red.

"Please?"

Kim sighed and took his hand.

They both slow danced as the music plays. Kim tried so hard to look away and not look into Xian's eyes; however, Xian cannot help but look at her.

"Kim.." Xian said.

Kim looked up to him.

"I know that you are mad, and I know that your feelings are not the same anymore as before, but I just want to say that mine never changed."

Kim was silent. She cannot believe that he would think that. What he doesn't know is that Kim does still have the same feelings as him.

Xian added, "I was wondering if you can give me another chance?"

Kim stopped dancing and looked away.

"I don't know..." She mumbled.

"Kim, please. I promise not to hurt you again and not leave again." Xian said taking her hands in his.

Kim sighed and looked at him in the eyes. The eyes that she always wants to melt when she looks at them.

"Yes." She smiled slightly.

"Yes?"

Kim nodded, "Oo. Bigyan kita nang second chance."

"Talaga?!" Xian asked excitedly.

"Oo nga!" Kim laughed.

Xian did not say anything but just embraced her into a long tight hug. He missed her in his arms. He missed this.

Xian pulled away and kisses her cheek.

"Thank you.." He said.

Kim giggled and hugs him.

Next Day.

The barkada went in the coffee shop and found Kim and Xian laughing together.

"So nag work pala yung plan!" Maja smiled.

Xian laughed and looked at his friends, "Kung hindi dahil sa inyo, hindi parin kami kasundo so thank you guys!"

"So, that means kayo na ulit?" Lauren asked.

"Oo!" Kim giggled and wrapped an arm around his waist, as he pulled her close to him.

"Naku!" Enchong clapped, "alam mo! Kailangan natin mag celebrate!"

"Celebrate?" Lauren asked.

"Oo! Kim will make brownies for us!" Enchong joked.

"Ikaw talaga!" Kim slapped the top of his head, "celebrate nga! Pero ako naman yung mag work?! HMP!"

"Joke lang! Doon tayo sa mahaling restaurant oh! Treat ko!" Enchong said.

"Mahaling restaurant daw! May pera ka ba?!" Erich asked.

"Oo naman! Sige na!"

"O sige na nga! Tara! Basta treat mo ha!" Kim laughed.

"Oo!" Enchong smiled.

Xian took her hand in his as they all walked out of the coffee shop.

They all drove to the restaurant and as everyone was settled in, they all started to order their foods and make conversations with each other.

"Alam mo guys! We all should go on a barkada vacation again!" Maja suggested.

Everyone got quiet and looked at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Hmm... I don't think I can go on a vacation." Kim said.

"Yeah. Me too." Erich added.

Maja sighed and tried to think of other ideas. She wants the vacation to be abroad, but she knows Kim and Erich wouldn't agree.

"Alam mo. We should go abroad once Kim and Erich is free to go!" Maja suggested.

"Abroad? Okay na okay yan!" Matt said cheerfully.

Kim shrugged, "Sure! Why not? Masaya yan! Pero wag muna ngayon kasi kailangan ako nang coffee shop."

"O sige! Excited nako!" Enrique said.

That night, Xian dropped Kim off at her house.

"So.. wala ba dyan?" Xian pats his cheek and wiggled his eyebrows.

Kim rolled her eyes and playfully slap him, "O! Yan! Yan ang kiss mo!"

She laughed and looked at him.

Xian eyes widened and gave her a pout face, "Please?"

Kim sighed and give him a kiss on the cheek, "Yan! Goodnight!"

Xian laughed, "Alright, goodnight!" He kissed her forehead and watched her step inside her house before leaving.
