His Crush (BeaRdy FanFiction)

Chapter 8

"Beatriz."

I know that voice. It is his. But unlike the other times, I wasn't really that excited. In fact, I was nervous.

"Beatriz."

He called again. I finally turned around.

His face was blank. He looked neither angry nor mad. Plain blank.

Bea: Ummm, h-hi?
Thirdy: What happened to you?
Bea: Wha-what are you t-talking about?

I stammered. Shoot. Stop. Being. Nervous. Bea.

Thirdy: I was calling you all day! Ni' isang reply o sagot man lang beatriz. Wala. Kung sino-sino na pinagtanungan ko. I was worried sick for christ's sake!

His face changed. I can't explain how he looked like cause' I can't even look at him. I am so not used to him getting mad, especially at me.

Bea: Look, i'm really really sorry. I was just...Busy.

Thirdy: Really? You know, I understand. I will understand kung nagsabi ka man lang. You have no idea what i've been through today just for you.

Tapos pag dating ko dito, siya lang pala kasama mo.

We just looked at each other. No, actually, he was just looking at me. I can't look at him straight in the eye. I froze at the few last sentences. Besides, I have absolutely no idea what to say. After a long pause, he spoke again.

Thirdy: You know what? You need to rest. We both need to. Go upstairs na. I'll wait here until you go up.

That is one of the things I like about thirdy. Yung kahit na nagtatampo o galit siya sayo, he will still care. But I just can't let this night end up like this. I was about to do what i've been wanting to do for a long time now, to hug him. As I was walking towards him, with my arms slowly opening, the moment he had gotten what I was about to do, he stopped me.

Thirdy: Don't. Go rest na.

My heart literally crushed. I was both hurt and embarassed. I immediately turned my back on him to head uptairs when he hugged me from behind.

Thirdy: You know I can't resist you.

We were just there. Standing, him still hugging me.

Thirdy: I'm sorry. Now go to sleep na.

And so I did.

Thirdy

I woke up groggily. Memories of yesterday still flashing. Just like my phone, flashing. Flashing the name of someone I would want to wake up to everyday.

BUT... Pakipot ka muna thirds. Kahit konti lang. I decided to ignore the call and headed for the bathroom to get ready for practice. After my shower, I checked my phone. She messaged me.

*From: Bei*

Hey. Answer my call.

I fought the temptation to answer. Not until i'm done with practice. But during practice, I can't help but think of her. Was I being harsh?

After our training, I quickly got into the locker room to get fixed and when I got out... Whoa. Nice one thirds.

She's here. Leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

Thirdy: Hey.

Then she looked at me. And then she hugged me which is somewhat surprising.

Bea: Hey-hey ka diyan! Ano to'? Gantihan? Ferdinand naman eh.
Thirdy: That was just 3 hours of ignoring you. Ikaw nga, buong araw.

After I said that, I immediately regretted it. She broke the hug..She didn't say anything. Probably guilty. Or mad. Wrong thing to say thirds. Wrong thing to say.

She then stood up straight and headed for the door.

Thirdy: Uy bei! Wait up!

She continued walking, when I finally caught up to her, I immediately turned her around to face me. She bent down her head while I held both of her hands.

Thirdy: Hey, look, i'm sorry. (I said, smiling)

She looked really guilty. I felt bad. Then she started crying.

Bea: No! I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I worried you so much. I'm sorry if I didn't answer any of your calls and messages. I'm sorry If I-

Thirdy: Shh-shh. Stop it. I don't want to see you like this because of me. Nakaka-guilty eh. Sige ka, iiyak din ako.

Bea: Sige nga, kung kaya mo. (she said, smiling. Finally.)

Thirdy: There! You smiled na!

Bea: I'll cry again if you will not cry.

Thirdy: C'mon. You know I can't do that. How can I comfort you when you're sad kung ako rin iyakin?

Bea: You don't comfort me naman eh. You make it worse pa nga. Joooooke! Haha! Move on na tayo, ha?

I stunned at first at what she said. But she's right, let's move on.

Thirdy: We will.

And we both smiled.
