GOODBOY (COMPLETED/EDITING)

18: Start of Something New

Michelle's POV

Sabi niya wala na daw lalaking makakapagparamdam sakin ng pagmamahal. Sabi niya wala daw lalaking magpapabilis ng tibok puso ko kagaya ng ginawa nya.. Sabi nya wala na daw hahanapin yung mata ko kundi sya.

Pinanghawakan ko lahat ng salitang sinabi nya pero sabi nya lang pala lahat ng yun. Apat na taon na ang lumipas simula ng niloko at iniwan nya ako. Binago ko ang sarili ko para kung sakaling bumalik sya, hindi na nya ko masisira, hindi na nya ako masasaktan. Akala ko malakas na ako, akala ko wala na ulit makakapasok sa puso ko, Akala ko manhid na talaga ko, Akala ko nakalimutan ko na ang salitang Love pero nagkamali pala ko dahil sa pagdating ni Xander.

Dumating sya para guluhin ako. Dumating sya para sirain ang pader na pinalibot ko sa puso ko. Dumating sya para kalimutan ko ang mga pangako ko sa sarili ko. Dumating sya para ipaalala sakin ang salitang Pag-ibig....

Nakauwi na ako sa bahay pero hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko yung nangyari kanina. I give my Yes, Hindi bilang pagpayag na ligawan kundi bilang girlfriend. Kanina ko pa sinasabunutan ang sarili ko, Nakaramdam ako bigla ng hiya sa inasta ko.

FLASHBACK

"I know you've been through hell in your past relationship but I'm still thankful that it didn't work. Because I have given a chance to know you. Please Mich, move on with me. I really like you, can you like me back?" Binulong nya sa tenga ko yun and it makes me shiver.
Napakagat nalang ako sa labi ko. Everything felt different, there's something inside me that felt alive. I close my eyes and feel what it is until I realized that it's my heart that starts beating for someone else.

"Xander, Hindi ako naniniwala sa ligaw because it will cover the true you, Is it okay if. I answer you right away?" Mahinang sabi ko pero tama lang para marinig nya. There's a long pause, I heared his heartbeat. Its beating fast, so as mine. Nung hindi pa rin sya nagsalita ay humarap na ako sa kanya. He's smiling from ear to ear. "What are you smiling at?" Nagsimula na naman akong magtaray, It takes a lot of courage para sabihin yun pagkatapos wala man lang syang masasabi.

"Aissssh!" Sigaw ko, paano ba naman kasi pinisil yung pisngi ko. But what he says made me speechless

"Being with you is worth smiling for, I know we still don't love each other but we're getting there soon. I like you". "I like you too" I murmured between our kisses.

END OF FLASHBACK

I've been trying my best to cease the smile on my face since I entered the house but damn this traitor lips. Now my parents know that there's already something between Xander and me. Pinipilit kong matulog pero sa tuwing pumipikit ako, bumabalik lahat ng nangyari kanina. I'm already 21 pero bakit parang teenager pa rin ako kiligin? Siguro naninibago lang ako. I never feel this kind of thing for four long years Because I focuses on lust, fun and thrill. My phone suddenly beep kaya agad kong tiningnan kung sino yung nagtext.

You're probably sleeping by now, Just want you to know na nakaisip na ako ng callsign natin. I tell you when I see you tomorrow. Dream of your handsome boyfriend okay *wink* I like you♥.

Probably sleeping? Mukhang wala ka ngang balak patulugin ako! Aish! Problema ko pa bukas kung paano ko sasabihin to kay Black.

Black's POV

Another day had past. Old routines are keep repeating. Work, Chill with friends, home. Everything changed since I started to work. Glad na hindi na ako ginulo nung Tejada na yun matapos ang nangyari. Sabay kaming uuwi ngayon ni Mich, Don't know with this Gal at nagyaya nalang bigla magbar before she takes me home. Tinext ko nalang si Jamaine at James na hindi muna kami sa coffee shop ngayon kundi sa Usual Bar na pinupuntahan namin.
While driving, Mich was so quiet so I initiated the talk.
