MISS NOT PERFECT

SPECIAL CHAPTER

A/N: Many of you were asking what happened to the necklace. Here's the reason why I've said that there will be special chapters because I know those little things were left hanging. :)

Ivan's POV

"Why do you always wear that?" turo ni Mikki sa necklace ko.

I suddenly touched the necklace and stared at the emerald crystal puzzle charm and frowned. Bakit nga ba? "I don't know, I just feel like I have to wear it" I said.

Her expression's never changed. Still poker face pero hindi niya inaalis ang tingin sa pendant.

"Sinong nagbigay sayo?" she asked then she stared straight into my eyes.

I bit my bottom lip when I saw something in her eyes.

"Si Lea" I said breathlessly.

Bigla akong kinabahan nung biglang naningkit ang mga mata niya then looked away tapos hindi na niya ko pinansin ulit. Nagseselos ba siya? Napangiti ako bigla at niyakap ko siya mula sa likod. Nasa library naman kami, sa mga bookshelves sa may bandang dulo kaya okay lang, wala namang ibang tao.

"Nagseselos ka na ba?" tanong ko habang ngiting ngiti.

Mikki never gets jealous. She's too mature and too understanding plus the fact that all my attention is in her. Ako pa yung nagseselos kapag may iba siyang kinakausap.

"Hindi" she answered in a heartbeat.

Nasagot niya agad. Hindi man lang pinatagal yung interval time kahit isang segundo! Tsk.

Hinigpitan ko yung yakap ko sa kanya and buried my face at the crook of her neck. Ayoko na siyang bitawan, literal.

"Let go" she said.

I shook my head. "I would never let you go" I whispered.

"How can I move if you don't let me go literally Ivan?" she asked sternly.

My body stiffened at napabitaw ako bigla. She called me by my first name, is she mad now? Pagkabitaw na pagkabitaw ko sa kanya, naglakad agad siya palayo dala yung librong kinuha niya. I followed her at naupo sa tabi niya. I stared at her intently. Tahimik lang siyang nagbabasa ng hindi tumitingin sakin kaya hindi ko inaalis ang tingin ko sa kanya. Nang hindi na ko makatiis ng ilang minuto, I grabbed her hand and intertwined our fingers then I kissed her knuckles. Her brows furrowed as she stared at me. 

"What did I do?" I asked.

She tilted her head at mas lalong nagdikit ang mga kilay niya, sign of her confusion.

"You're mad at me" I said "Anong nagawa ko na hindi mo nagustuhan? Just tell me para hindi ko na ulitin. And im sorry  to whatever i've done wrong"

"Who told you im mad at you?" she asked.

I frowned and stared at her. She sighed at binaba yung librong hawak niya then smiled at me.

"Hindi ka galit?" I asked.

She shook her head "Not at you" she said.

"Who?"

"Lea"

Bigla akong napangiti after that. "Nagseselos ka?"

"Hindi" katulad kanina, ganun na naman. Ang bilis niyang sumagot kaya napasimangot ako.
"Hindi talaga?" paninigurado ko dahil umaasa akong magbago ang sagot niya pero umiling siya habang nakapoker face na naman.

I sighed. Humilig na lang ako sa balikat niya. Gusto ko ulit isiksik ang mukha ko sa leeg niya kung wala lang sana kami dito sa library.

"PDA" sabi ni Lea na naupo sa harap namin.
