The Dreamer's Someone

Chapter 19

"Kristine..?"

"So, you two are together this time huh?" sabi niya with a soft voice.

"..Not yet."

"So, you still need my advice?" she said then faked a laugh. "I'm pretty sure you don't need me anymore."

"What? Who said that?" shocked kong nasabi.

"Don't you remember?" then she came closer. "We had a deal."

"Deal?"

"Hey, can you like, be my fake girlfriend so I could make her jealous?" I said while holding her shoulders.

"What? Who?" she said while smiling.

"Sonny."

"You like her?" she said while holding my face.

"I don't like her." then I looked away. "I think, I already love her."

"Why? Can't you see she's treating you like trash?" she said while I removed her hands.

"No. She's not. And don't talk about her like that. I love her. Just the way she is." I said while standing up.

I started walking away then suddenly.

"Please! Don't go!" then she hugged me on my back. "I thought you like me? And not her?"

"I liked you. But.. as a friend.." I said then I tried to remove her arms. "..Liking someone is different from loving someone."

"Plea--"

"Will you help me or not?" I said with a serious look.

"Uh.. s-sure. As long as we still can be together?"

"Together as friends." I said then she nodded.

"Oh yeah, the deal.." then I looked at Sonny's direction.

"Well, it's nice meeting you Cliff." she said then started walking away.

"W-Wait!" I shouted then she looked at my way.

"What?"

"I still need your help." I don't have any feelings for her. But I feel that when she walks out of my life, it's like a part of me is missing. For me, she's like a sister to me.

"What? I thought the deal was off--"

"The deal IS off, but this time, it's a different kind of help." I said then she walked towards me.

"Well, if it means being together.. AS FRIENDS! So be it!"

"I want you to find out what she likes and what she doesn't like." I said with a shy smile.

"So, taking this seriously huh?" she said while teasing me.

"..and.."

"And what?"

"I want to find out.. This time, for sure.. If she really have feelings for me.." I shyly said.

"Sure. I can help you out." she said with a confident smile on her face.

"You seem to find this pretty easy.."

"Well, it IS easy."

"Okay then. Tell me your plan."

"Hey look, let's upload this picture in Facebook." I heard a girl in the crowd said.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure it will get many likes." sabi naman nung isa.
