Playgirl, Playboy (Unedited)

Eighth Chapter

"Romantic love. This is what you feel towards your opposite sex. It is not platonic, it is pure affection, desire and calls for commitment."

Nagpatuloy ako sa pagj-jot down notes dahil paniguradong may quiz kami after ng discussion ng topic na ito.

"Have you ever been in love? Anyone who wants to answer?"

Almost all of my classmates reacted but no one dared to raise their hand.

I looked at Wesley's direction just to see that he's already looking at me. He gave me a smile then raised his hand.

O good heavens! Wth? Akala ko ba ayos na ang usapan namin?

"I like you so much Ali. Seryoso 'to."

I breathed over the phone, since kanina pa kami magkausap. Nasa bahay sya ng lola nya ngayon at namimiss na daw nya ako kaya sya tumawag.

I sighed again. Alright, I've decided. There's no point in denying now. I'm sure of my feelings now. After weeks of evaluating and contemplating, nagawa ko na rin na aminin sa sarili ko na gusto ko na rin sya.

"I like you too Wes, pero masyado pang maaga para magcommit. Hindi pa naman natin mahal ang isa't isa. Let's take it slow."

Hinintay ko syang magreact. I heard nothing but a loud crash.

"Wes? Okay ka lang ba? Anong nangyari? Are you still there?"

Nag-aalala kong tanong. Then I heard someone shouting from the other line.

"Anak! Anong nangyari sayo at nahulog ka sa upuan? Dyos ko! Okay ka lang bang bata ka?!"

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o ano nang marining ko si tita Bella. Nahulog pala ang gago sa upuan. Hahahaha laughtrip.

"Ayos lang ako ma! Kinilig lang! Hahahaha."

I bit my lip. Shet. Kinikilig din yata ako. Wtf?

"Damn, Ali. You don't know how happy I am right now. Alright. Let's take it slow."

That was two months ago. So, technically, two months ng may something samin.

But we agreed not to let others know, except our close friends, for the mean time.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard his answer.

"Pwede bang tagalog?"

Napatawa si mam pati na ang buong klase nang itanong nya iyon.

"Of course, Mr. Concepcion."

"I am inlove right now. And maybe until forever."

Nagtawanan kaming lahat dahil english naman ang sinagot nya. At dahil na rin sa ka-cornyhan nya. But deep inside, my heart flutters. And I am scared at the same time. Hindi pa namin napag uusapan ang tungkol sa love. Dahil kampante ako na hanggang gusto pa lang ang nararamdaman namin para sa isat isa.

"Masasabi mong nagmamahal ka kung handa kang sumugal. Kahit alam mong tagilid ka sa kanya, mag ri-risk ka pa rin. Hindi ka matatakot mag-try ng mag-try."

Then he looked at me for a second, which is I'm glad na walang nakapansin. He gave me his killer and that's it. I felt my heart exploaded.

"Baby girl, hindi ka naman slow diba? Alam mo kung anong ibig sabihin ko kanina."

Bumuntong hininga ako. Magkausap na ulet kami sa telepono. Of course alam ko na.

"Yeah."

"I love you Calissa Hernaez. I'm not forcing you into anything. I just want you to know na mahal kita. Mahal na mahal kita."

"Thank you. I hope kaya mo pa akong hintayin."

"Hihintayin kita. Kahit gaano pa katagal. Hinding hindi rin ako titingin sa iba."

"Tulog na tayo baby girl. I love you. Goodnight."

Then he ended the call.

I really hope he can wait still wait for me.

Because I'm almost there.

And it's freakin' scary.
