The Nerd's Secret

Chapter 20

Lumabas Kaming lahat sa office nila Ace, nang kausapin naman ako ni Mia.

"Gab, bat ka nag-panggap?"

"Sa room nalang natin, I'll tell you the whole story, my story"

"Oh sige, I'll go get snacks for us" sabi naman ni Stellar.

"Stell, sama na ako" Sigaw naman ni Lance dahil nakakalayo na rin si Stellar.

Nandito na kami ngayon sa room namin, sumagalpak ako sa bed ni Stellar kasi yun ang pinakalapit sakin.

"So, Gab, mind to tell us first?"

"Mamaya na"

"Baka makalimutan Mo pa eh"

"Okay, I guess you won't stop nagging me about my story, right?"

"Yep" sabay sabi ni Mia and Jake, they stared at each other for a second, and that's when i know Jake likes Mia.

"Okay, if ill start talking, Never interrupt me"

"Sure"

"First of all, I'm not really from this world, I was sent here for some reasons and one of it is for my safety, I'm not an Alien or something, I live in a world of Gods and Goddesses, And also Guardians"

"Hol up, If you live there.... You have Powers right?" tanong ni Jake sakin.

"Yes, and Mia.."

"hmm?"

"Remember those pills i gave you?"

"Ahh yes"

"It's from our world, we are more far advance than in this world"

"How did you get here?"

"Through a Mirror"

"A Mirror?"

"Yes,but it requires a lot of our powers to activate it"

"You said Earlier you have special powers, right? Can you show it?" sabi ni Mia

"Hintayin lang muna natin sina Stellar and Lance" reply naman ni Jake

*Ting*

An idea popped in my head

"I have an idea...Let's play a game..."

"Anong game?" bigla namang pumasok Stellar with Junk Foods.

"Asan Si Lance?"

"Ayon, may kinuha sa may unahan, kaya nauna nalang ako"

"Puntahan ko muna si Lance" I said, excuse ko lang yon para makalabas, ang loud nila.

May nakita naman akong bench malapit sa Kahoy, hindi naman siya madilim meron namang liwanag. Tinungo ko dito at huminga nang malalim.

"*Breath In* *Breath out*"

"Something troubling you?"

"I'm just tired"

"Ba't nandito kapa?"

"Nagpahangin lang, and remembering things"

"I guess ill introduce myself properly... cause, we didnt had a good start"

"Hmm"

"Hi miss, I'm Ace Santiago" He smiled at me, and you know what? i just realized.. am i falling for this guy?

and i also gave him a sweet smile, that only Pheny can see.

"I'm Gabrielle, Gabrielle Hearts"

after i spoke, silence... only silence, Natawa naman ako.

"HAHAHAHA!" sabay kaming tumawa.

"That was awkward"

"Yeah, it was" sabi ko at meron naman siyang kinuha na isang box, di gaanong maliit, hindi din masyadong malaki.

"Someone left this sa office namin, and alam kong para sayo yan"

"talaga?"

"Your initials are written on the back, look"

"I see it, who sent it?"

"Di din namin alam"

"Thanks, Ace"

"I guess, we will see each other tomorrow.."

"Yeah, i guess we will"

"I have a favor for you, Gabrielle"

"Hmm?"

"Please do everything you can to pass" sabi niya habang nakahawak ang kamay niya sa kamay ko, while not breaking the eye contact.

wala naman umimik saming dalawa.

*Tsup*

Until he smacked his lips unto mine and i don't know why I'm not in control of my body, my eyes closed and put my arms around his nape area. we didn't break the kiss, Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko siya pinigilan, Am I really in love?

Humiwalay siya sakin, and looked in my eyes.

"I'm sorry"

"O...Okay lang"

"Gabrielle..."

"Hmmm?"

We stared at each other for a moment.

"I...I think I love you..."

"Is that a joke?"

"N...No, I'm not joking"

"Prove it"

silence nanaman, nang bigla niya akong niyakap, i can feel his heartbeat,he is telling the truth.

"I know you can feel it, and I know you feel the same way too"

at ngayon naman bigla niya akong hinalikan sa forehead.

" Please do my favor"

"Si...sige"

"Thanks"

"Ahhhm..."

"What is it?"

"Ikaw yung first...First ko"

"I'm your first kiss?"

"Yes"

Tumawa naman siya nang-mahina lang, at ngumiti sakin.

"Then I guess, I'll treasure you more than I've ever had"

"I'm not a kid, Ace"

"Haha, Wag kang mag-pout, it's making me fall for you even more"

"..........." hindi na ako kumibo, baka halikan na naman ako nito.

"Gab..."

"Bakit?"

"Can you be mine?"

"But why me? meron pa namang iba jan, Ace, far more better than me"

"But my heart chose you, and I can't do anything about that"

"But if you will know the real me.... will you love me for who I really am?"

"I will" lumapit na naman siya sakin at niyakap ako, dun na pumatak ang mga luha ko.\

"Hindi mo ko iiwan?"

"Never"

"Promise?"

"I Promise, My Queen" then he kissed me on the forehead, and i smiled at him.

"Then I'am Yours, My King" we both smiled.

For Once I felt happy again since Pheny passed away, but love comes with trials, and I know it's coming very very soon.....
