Waiting To Hear You Say "I Love You"

Chapter 25 --- Tell Me

Chapter 25

Tell Me

Napahawak sa sarili niyang bibig si Alessandra habang si Romeo naman ay napadaing din na akala mo'y siya mismo 'yong nasampal.

"Sa tingin ko, hindi magandang ideya na dito tayo sa rooftop pumunta, Romeo," Alessandra whispered. Romeo just nodded.

"Tara. Baka makita pa nila tayo," pag aaya ni Romeo. But it was too late. Humarap sa direksyon nila si Amethyst. They both immediately hid behind the wall that was connected to the door. Amethyst stormed out of that rooftop, leaving Archie dumbfounded.

"I'll follow Amethyst," Alessandra said. Susundan na sana niya si Amethyst pero pinigilan siya ni Romeo. She looked at him with irritation. Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero kapag talaga hahawakan siya ni Romeo, naiirita siya.

"Ako na. Ikaw ang kumausap sa kapatid mo." Without hearing what Alessandra has to say, umalis na ito at sinundan si Amethyst.

Hesitantly, she walked closer to Archie, who is now sitting on the cemented floor. Naupo siya sa tabi nito. Akala ng binata, si Amethyst ang tumabi sa kanya. He was disappointed to see that it is not.

"Alessandra, Archie. Kapatid mo, remember? I'm not Amethyst," Alessandra said when she noticed his face when he saw her. Archie sighed.

"How much did you see?"

"Dun lang sa part na nasampal ka. Sayang nga eh. Hindi ko nasubaybayan."

He looked back at the view that he showed Amethyst. Hindi na talaga ito kasing ganda katulad ng kanina.

"Ano bang nangyari?" She asked.

She's asking this as if she's asking why Amethyst slapped him. He remembered what he did and unconsciously, he bit his lower lip. He can still feel her lips. Her soft lips. It tasted so sweet. It was addicting.

Alessandra saw what he did. Hindi iyon nakaligtas sa mata ng dalaga. And with that she concluded what happened.

"Don't tell me..." she paused. "You two, kissed?"

He nodded. He answered, honestly. Wala naman kasi itong nakikitang dahilan para itanggi ang nangyari.

"Accidentally?"

Umiling naman ngayon ang binata na ikinagulat ng dalaga.

Alessandra knew about the accident kiss of Archie and Amethyst. The whole story. Kinuwento sa kanya ni Amethyst ng detelyado ang nangyari.

Girls. It's like a crime for a girl telling a story without the complete details, right?

"Hinalikan mo... siya?"

When Archie didn't say anything, she took it as a yes. And it somehow ticked her off.

"How could you?! Paano mo nahahalikan si Amethyst na para bang binibigyan mo lang siya ng candy?! Don't you have any idea how precious a kiss is for us, girls?!"

Err. Is "somehow" even the right term to use?

"Please, Alessandra. Wag muna ngayon."

"Anong hindi ngayon?! Pag-uusapan natin to ngayon! Kaibigan ko si Amethyst! You kissed her and she slapped you! Obviously she didn't liked what you did."

"Pumikit siya."

She stopped. She was taken aback. Curiosity was evident on her. Her face was giving off that what-do-you-mean expression. He didn't hesitate and tell her what he meant.

"Pumikit din siya habang hinahalikan ko siya kanina."

"Then that means she liked the kiss," kunot noo nitong sabi. She saying this out loud but her insides are not convinced.
