Me and Chase

m&c: 8

(Daurin's POV)

It's nighttime right now, I'm lying on my bed staring at the ceiling. Parang nananaginip lang ako. Talaga bang kame na ni Chase Connors? Everything that happened kanina was like a freakin' dream. I can't believe it.

Now that I think about it I don't really know much about Chase. And I don't think he knows much about me either. But, I still feel like I've seen him before. Anyway, hindi ba masyadong mabilis? Baka sabihin niyang 'easy' ako. I just- I love him. I really do. Aminadong aminado na ako. Mahal ko na talaga si Chase.

I was immersed with my thoughts, nang biglang may kumatok sa pinto ko, My mom.

"Hey, mom. What's up?" I asked, as I sit-up from my bed.

My mom sat beside me, and she began to talk, "How's my little angel? Pasensya ka na ha, di ka na namin masyadong nasubaybayan. Me and your Dad have been really busy." then I saw her with a pained expression.

"Ano ka ba, ma. Okay lang naman po sakin. I know you're doing this all for me. You don't have to feel that way." ani ko't nginitian ko siya.

"Nagmature ka na talaga, Daurin Ann. Dati-rati tawag ka ng tawag sa phone namin ng Dad mo para pauwiin na kame, iyak ka pa ng iyak nun. Now, you're so understanding na." then she gave me a faint smile.

"Oh come on, ma! I'm still that Daurin. More understanding nga lang."

she smiled, "So? Kamusta na? Hindi yata dumadalaw si Vince dito ha?"

I was surprised, "Vince? Bakit, ma? Anong meron sakanya?"

"Ha? Hindi mo ba siya boyfriend?"

"Ma! He's not my boyfriend." At napailing ako. I decided din na ikwento sakanya si Chase. "Ay, ma--"

"Hm?" pagtataka niya dahil natigil ako.
I realized na mas maganda siguro kung sinabe ko na kasama ko si Chase. So, di ko muna sinabe.

After a few moments, may kumatok nanaman. And this time it was my Dad.

"Isali niyo naman ako dyan." At nag-pout si Daddy.

"Daddy!" tumayo ako agad, at niyakap ko siya. It's been so long since I've hugged him this tightly. I kissed his cheek. Obvious ba ang pagka-daddy's girl ko?

"Hello, princess. Kamusta ang baby ko?" sabe niya, as he hugged back.

"Okay lang po ako, Daddy. Dito ka din. Upo ka with me and Mom." And I pulled him papunta sa loob ng room ko.

"Oh, how I've missed this." ani ni Mommy as she looked at both of us.

"I missed this, too. Mom, Daddy, I love you both." ani ko, at nag-group hug kame.

We started catching-up with each other, hanggang sa nag-aya si Daddy na kumain sa labas.

I'll take this chance to introduce myself. Napansin ko kase na I haven't taken any opportunity to do so. My name is Daurin Ann C. Wyatt, 17 years old. 11th Grade, My family is pretty wealthy. I grew up spoon-fed. I got anything I wanted, we have maids, drivers, gardeners and all that. But I don't really abuse the money we have. Not to brag, but I have really good grades as well. Before I moved to the Philippines nung grade 5 ako, I studied abroad at Canada. I never had much friends, they'd just use me to get close to our business. My parents' business is known worldwide. The school I'm currently studying at are co-partners in business with my family.
