His Crush (BeaRdy FanFiction)

Chapter 9

Bea

*RINGGGGG*

Bea: What the?

I said as I was trying my HARDEST to open up my eyes. I checked the clock. It was freaking 1AM! Whoever is calling me right now will seriously get a punch. Kidding, but still.

And guess who?

His face popped up on my screen. I answered.

Thirdy: Hey-
Bea: The heck thirds?!

He started laughing. Gosh, I can't even smile a bit right now.

Thirdy: I can't sleep.
Bea: Soooooo... My fault?
Thirdy: Honestly, yes.
Bea: How come?
Thirdy: I can't stop thinking about you kasi eh.

I froze. But I managed to reply:

Bea: Stop it ravena.
Thirdy: Hey, can you meet me now?
Bea: You just interrupted my actual first good sleep this week, and now you want me to meet up with you. You're kidding, right?

He has to be. Duh.

Thirdy: I'm serious beatriz.
Bea: And I am not?!
Thirdy: Please bei. I want to see you tonight. Please.

He sounded like he was pleading. But...

Bea: Thirdy, I really can't-
Thirdy: Oh. Okay. I understand. Go back to sleep na. Sorry for interrupting.
Bea: Thirds-
Thirdy: No really. I promise it's fine. I'll see you na lang tomorrow, okay?

I could feel him smiling at the other end.

Bea: Ye-yeah. Umm... Su-sure.
Thirdy: Goodnight. Or, "good morning".

He chuckled. Oh God, how I feel so guilty right now. But then he put down the phone. I tried going back to sleep, but I can't now. I felt so bad that I... Decided to call him back.

Thirdy

She rejected. I was hurt, of course. But I just tried understanding her situation. Her body must have been drained, she must rest. I was about to-

*Bei... calling. *

Ohhhhhhh, shoot. I answered immediately.

Thirdy: Hey why ar-
Bea: Where are we going to meet?

_____________________________________

We went to the 24-hour convenience store first to grab some snacks, and drinks. We are now at the park.

Thirdy: Why did you agree pa? You could have just gone back to sleep.
Bea: I tried but I can't. Your voice killed me. I felt guilty.
Thirdy: I'm sorry. I just really wanted to meet you tonight.
Bea: For what ba? Are you going to say something important that it can't wait til' tomorrow?

I hugged her from the side. Oh, I really did miss her. Pabango pa lang eh, jusko.

Thirdy: Nothing. I just missed you.
.

.
Bea: I missed you too.

I stopped hugging her.

Thirdy: Sus. Pero ayaw mo pang pumayag makipagkita sakin.

I said, staring off into the distance.

Now it was her turn to hug me.

Bea: Ang drama-drama mo naman. Syempre pareho naman kasi tayong pagod.
Thirdy: Unfair kasi. Ikaw lang makakapagpahinga.
Bea: Eh paano naman? Edi matulog ka rin! HAHAHA!
.
.
.
Thirdy: Ikaw kasi pampawala ng pagod ko beatriz.

It was true.

Thirdy: Kaya kung natulog ka nalang imbis na makipagkita sakin, ikaw lang makakapagpahinga. Ako hindi. Kasi di kita makikita.

At first, she just sat there. Stunned. Probably surprised.

Bea: So, ibig sabihin, wala na pagod mo?

She asked me seriously.

Thirdy: The moment na pumayag ka kanina sa phone, nawala na pagod ko. (smiling)

Again, she froze. I started laughing.

Thirdy: Huy. Wag ka ngang kinikilig-kilig diyan. HAHAHAHA!!
Bea: Ay grabe. Assuming kahit kailan.
Thirdy: Hindi "assuming" ang tawag dun. "Honest" kaya. Tama kasi sinabi ko. HAHAHA!
Bea: Che.
Thirdy: But seriously, nawala talaga pagod ko. You didn't know how happy I was when you called me back.

Bea: Hey- will you go to the game tomorrow?

She asked. Changing the topic.

Thirdy: Ha? Umm, weeeeeell...

She looked at me like she was begging. But,

Thirdy: I-I d-don't think so.
Bea: Why?
Thirdy: Na-move kasi schedule namin for tomorrow. Plano ko talaga, promise. Pero, sorry.
Bea: No, no. It's fine. I guess I'll join the team na lang din for dinner.
Thirdy: Oh. U-umm, o-okay.

I was supposed to take her out, but I guess it will be our first post-game dinner not together. After some more talking, she spoke once more.

Bea: Hey, I want to sleep.

She moved her body and laid her head on my lap. I caressed her cheek and smoothen her hair. And let her do what she really was doing earlier, just beside me.

A/N:
Naks naman. Marunong na ko mag- "author's note". HAHAHA! 😂

Sorry po for the late update. I knew I told someone it would be last wednesday, but my homeworks just won't cooperate with the schedule. Haha! Thank you! 😊
