Boy version of me - Lizquen

Chapter 61 Liza and James

Hindi ko na alam kung paano ako nakamove on but finding someone to replace him didn't make anything better.

"Where are you babe?" Tinawagan ako ng boyfriend kong si James

"I'm right here!" I raised my hand tapos he was across the swimming pool.

Nagpapool party si James para sa 1st anniversary namin. Akalain niyo yun nakatagal ako ng relationship sa taong alam kong hindi marereplace si kilala niyo na yun! Ayaw ko ng bangitin.

"Cheers for James and Liza's first anniversary!" Sumigaw yung Dj na hinire niya from California pa talaga.

James wrapped his arms around me "You know we didn't have to celebrate this big right?" Tapos binababy talk niya ako "But you're way too special Liz!" He kissed me and I kissed him back.

"And I know... You'll be my future wife soon" Napabitaw ako sa yakap niya "Ano?!"

I had doubt in my eyes and fear in my soul. "That's why people go unto relationships right? To get married soon?" He explains

"Well yeah but I haven't thought this through..." I explained while rubbing my hands

He held my cheeks "I respect you don't worry, darling" He hugged me then a sweet love song played...

SERIOUSLY!??!?!? I'm confessin' is playing? Quen... Oops That used to be our love song.

"Baby" I whispered "Can we change the song?" I requested

"Sure baby" He gave the dj the signal for the next song. Feelin' the same way by Norah Jones played.

"And I'm feeling the same way all over again..." We slow danced but it wasn't just the same.

Don't get me wrong James Reid is perfect! Hunky, attractive, smart, good with kids, loves photography, extremely sweet, a party boy that knows his limitations but he's just too perfect! We're too perfect for each other and it's sickening. When I was 12 I dreamed of my perfect prince charming! And he's right here already but he only lives in fairytales! He's too perfect and I just can't handle that. I know I love him but I know deep inside my heart what it wants.

-----------------------------------

Lunch with Anne, Abby and Mikaela my besfriends from freshman. Oh how I missed them! I have constant communication with Anne though.

"Sure ka bang naka-move on ka na kay Enrique? Bilis naman" sabi ni Mikaela

Binatukan ni Anne si Mikaela "Huy! Anong bilis naman... Everyone deserves to be happy... Liza deserves to be happy at kung si James ang magpapabalik ng ngiti niya sa kanyang labi, why not?"

That time I already cried! Umiyak ako sa kanila. I told my feelings na mahal ko si James pero he's too perfect at mahal ko parin si Quen..........

Did I just-- Did I just said that?

"What?" Sabi ni Abby

"So let me get this straight you love James but no one can replace Enrique?" Anne asked! Kilala niya talaga ako

"Yes! Exactly!" Sabi ko

Nagalit si Abby "Everyone is a bit different... Wala talagang makakareplace kay Enrique. All you have to do is to accept what's in front of you now. Alam mo bang ang daming nagkakandarapa sa boyfriend mo Liza?"

Well as you guys know Lawyer si James and most of the girls from the court always flirts with him. Normally I'd be jealous pero kapag sa kanya hinahayaan ko lang yung girls. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!

"Oo nga Liza! Kung mahal mo talaga siya ipagpatuloy mo pero kung may konting doubt ka kung bakit mo siya mahal let him go dahil kawawa naman siya. He deserves the same love that he is giving to you. Kawawa siya Liza hindi siya panakip butas para lang masabi mo sa sarili mo na okay ka na at nakamove on ka na kay Enrique! Let go of Enrique first bago ka tumanggap ng bago sa buhay mo or else someone gets hurt." Natamaan ako sa payo ni Anne.

"Oo nga Liza tanungin ka namin what keeps you holding on to James? Hindi mo ba kaya maging single? Yun ba?"

Nagalit ako "Oo sorry ha! Hindi ko kasi matanggap na ayaw ng tadhana saaming dalawa ni Enrique! Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganon" Niyakap nila ako tapos dun na ako tuluyang napaluha.

"Ayaw ko na... I keep telling myself every single day that I am okay even though I wasn't." Niyakap nila muli ako at mas mahigpit...

"Sssssh... Okay lang yan Liza! Kakayanin natin ha? Team move on ha?" Ang payo ni Anne

"I just can't" Nahirapan na akong huminga dahil sa isang buong taon never bumalik ang wasak na pusong ito sa dati.

Sabi nila may dadating na mas better pero wala ng mas bebetter pa sa kanya. I just can't keep lying to myself... The next day nagbreakfast kami together ni James. It was a few days after our big bash anniversary party but I just had to do this.

"Baby I found this great deals online! We can go on a vacation in Santorini... I know you love taking pictures magandang place yun para sa blogger poses mo" Sinubuan niya ako ng champorado...

This is one of the reasons why I can't let go of James!!! He's too sweet. He was about to kiss me and was one inch apart from my face and then a weird thing happened... I saw Enrique's face!

"Liz! Liz!" I blinked and I saw James' face again...

"I'm just gonna go to the rest room okay babe?" I said...

"Oh wait you forgot your phone!" Was the thing that I didn't heard because I was rushing to the comfort room.

(NARRATOR POV: Naiwan ni Liza ang phone niya at bigla itong nagring siyempre may tiwala naman sila sa isa't isa kaya binuksan ni James ang phone ni Liza. Three voice memo's from unknown...

"Hopia... I mean Liza, I just want to know if you're fine? If you're life is doing good. Catch up soon? Dinner? Lunch? I'm back at Manila for some fun time at the beach. Lola Consolacion misses you! I miss you"

He played another voice message "Best ha! Sabihin mo na kay James bago maging huli na ang lahat"

And another "Remember explain it to James slowly para hindi siya masaktan! Isipin mo minahal mo rin yan kahit papaano.

Since possessive si James and he is truly sure that Liza is the one for him he wanted to do the one thing that will make him sure that she's locked to him....

Pagbalik ni Liza eto ang sinabi ni James... "Elizabeth... A year ago this is the exact same spot we known each other. We've been through a lot and I know that I had to fix your broken heart... And here I am! Still fixing it right now---" he knelt "So I'm asking you this, Will Elizabeth Soberano marry me?"

Naglabas ng singsing si James "Be my wife please?" Nagsisigawan na yung mga tao sa restaurant.

Pinatugtog ang Feelin' the same way... And for Liza it was a sign.

"Yes!" Who knew that the girl who was about to break up with him could make such a spontaneous decision and end up making him her fiancé. I'm telling you this girl is crazy!!!

To make things worse he deleted the voice memo Enrique sent her.

ANO NGA BA ANG SUSUNOD NA MANGYAYARI SA PINAKACOMPLICATED NA LOVE STORY NG DALAWA? Hmmm Enrique in the Philippines back at it again. Will he chase the girl of his dreams or will he let James love her for him? Hmm
