Convicted Love (Finished!)

Convicted Love 9

~ Summer 9 ~

Do you know how hard it is to convince your hard-headed, dramatic, lovesick bestfriend that the man she loves loves her back? Oh no, you don't. Unless your bestfriend's name is Jiya Henson. 

I remember those times we yell at each other...yung tipong sa araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos puro kami sumbatan. Imagine how funny we were. Kami na nga lang magkakampi...kami na nga lang magkasama tapos nag-aaway pa kami.

'Jiya! Stop acting like a child and talk to him already!'

'YOU stop acting like a child, Summer. Just because we've been together since forever doesn't mean you should tell me what to do!' and then she threw her pillow at me.

'I'm not telling you what to do! I'm giving you a friendly advice of how you should fix your messed up life!' I threw it back.

'How dare you say my life's messed up! It's you who's been messed up since you broke up with Zayne!' what she threw wasn't her pillow anymore...it was the book she was reading.

Thank God I got to duck. And because of my anger, I threw it back at her...and I missed.

'That's not true! I am not in a mess because of him! In fact, I can live without him! That good for nothing traitor!'

'See? You're still blaming him even though you love him just because of something that happened like...a century ago!'

I smiled at the thought how we use to throw things and yell at each other. Still, at the end of the day, we just laugh it off and say our endless sorry. And speaking of the devil...habang nanonood ako ng TV sa sala nina Kim, tumabi sakin si Kim at Zayne.

"Anong kailangan niyo?"

"Napaka-taray. Di na nagbago." nginitian ako ng nakakaloko ni Kim tapos ngumuso sya towards Zayne.

"Hoy Kim ano nanamang problema mo!"

"HAHAHAHA joke lang eh! Di ka naman mabiro. So...how've you been?"

"Great, thanks." pinaglaruan ko naman yung remote at nilipat lipat yung channel. 

"Wait lang, I'll go find Kier." sabay tumayo si Kim at umalis na. Naiwan ako sa tabi ni Zayne na walang ginawa kundi tumitig sakin at ngumiti.

I cannot even describe how awkward this situation is.

"Sooo..."

"Wag ka nalang magsalita kung walang lalabas na maganda sa bibig mo." tapos, in-off ko yung TV at tatayo na sana paalis nung hinawakan niya yung kamay ko.

"Grabe! Sasabihin ko lang sana na gumaganda ka eh."

"Gago ka ba talaga? Tigilan mo nga ako bago ko paduguin yang nguso mo."

"Lalake ka parin pala..." tumawa siya tapos biglang nagseryoso. "May boyfriend ka na ba?" wow, he--being straight forward--really amazed me.

"Wala."

"Really?" then he smiled...a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Really. I don't have a boyfriend. Who needs dumb men? I have a girlfriend." I smirked at him and I caught him dumbfounded.

"W-what...did...you...ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" of course I'm joking! My I'm-a-boy-days are over, I'm so grown up now.

"W-what are you saying..." and then Kim, together with Kier, came back, easing the tension.

Umupo silang dalawa sa mahabang sofa sa side namin ni Zayne. Itong si Kim, sadyang ugok talaga kaya kung ano ano nanaman ang pinagtatatanong.

"O Kier, balita ko single parin si Jiya ah? Anong balak mo?" lubha namang napalunok si Kier sa tanong and then shrugged.

"Pare lalake ka ba? Kung single pa siya, make her come back to you!" reklamo naman ni Zayne na akala mo kung sinong genius pagdating sa mga babae.

Eh ang totoo niyan isa siya sa mga pinaka-walang clue pagdating saming mga babae. Ang sarap niyang batuhin ng bato.

"Wala eh...I tried. Many times. And I still failed miserably." napakamot ulit si Kier sa ulo niya tapos ngumiti nalang. A smile of defeat and then he excused himself, iinom daw muna siya.

"Ang bading naman. Malala pa yun kay Paul!" sabi naman ni Kim. I glared at him kaya tumigil siya.

"What is YOUR problem, Kim?"

"What? Nothing!" tumayo ako sa harapan niya and grabbed his shirt which made him stand up. "Sadista ka talaga! Bitawan mo nga ako!" binitawan ko siya pero I held on by my eyes.

"You're starting to be really really weird."

"I'm not weird!"

"Wala ka nang ibang binanggit kung hindi si Paul. Okaya si Kimrald! Okaya silang dalawa! DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?!?!?!?!?!?"

"NO. I don't." tapos tumigil na siya.

Nung mahalata kong wala na kong sagot na makukuha sakanya...I let the thought go and started to think about Jiya and Kier.

"Guys? We have to help them."

And then, the plan went perfectly. Nakita ko si Jiya sa guestroom...at nung matutulog na si Kier, Zayne told him na sa room na yun yung tutulugan niya. 

And yes, we locked the door from outside. Hindi sila makakalabas hangga't hindi sila okay. I know, I'm a genius. 

After the dramatic kiss-and-make-up-scene, I stayed at the living room para manood. Hindi ako susuko sa season 2 ng Vampire Diaries. And when I was literally burning up and being so kilig with the vampire brothers--Stefan and Damon, biglang namatay yung TV. I glanced around the room only to see Zayne holding the remote control and smirking...and looking so damn hot.

If it weren't for the fact that he has just disturbed me, I would've had butterflies in my stomach.

ANO BA TALAGANG GUSTO NIYA?
