Let the Rain Pour

Chapter 14: he confessed..

Author's note: After nitong chapter na ito, one more chapter na lang then epilogue na po! ^^

Yung nga pa lang nasa side eh si Neal.. nirequest nila eh.. :)

Kate's POV

I think I have a problem..

You see, nakasalubong ko kasi si Joshua, nag-wave ako ng kamay sa kanya but he suddenly turned away.. Tinalikuran lang niya ako basta at naglakad palayo..

Did I do something wrong? Kala ko pa naman naging close na kami lalo na nung nakasama namin si baby Kyle.. we were very carefree while we are together..

Pero ngayon, mukhang iniiwasan niya ko.. Pati nga yung photo shoot naming ngayong araw na ito eh na-move.. Pinabago daw ni Joshua..

Bakit kaya ako iniiwasan nun?

-----------------------

The day passed just like that.. Do you want to know what happened?

Ayun si Joshua lagi kong nakakasalubong pero hindi man lang ako pinansin.. Tapos ang dami na niyang kinakausap na tao.. Lahat na nga ata eh kinausap niya maliban sakin eh..

Tapos ako naman kinakausap ng lahat maliban sa kanya.. Yung bigla na lang may lalapit sakin tapos tatanong ung ano daw ba favorite color ko.. Tapos may nagtanong pa nga kung gusto ko daw ba ng teddy bear o kung alin daw ba mas gusto ko, dancer o singer.. Weird right? napa-ramdom nung mga questions nila..

Siguro napansin nilang loner ako kasi hindi ko kasama si Joshua kaya siguro nilalapitan ako nung mga iyon..

Nang makita ko ulit si Joshua na papasok sa music room, sinundan ko siya at malapit na sana ako ng may humila sakin..

"What--" naputol yung sasabihin ko ng makita ko kung sino yung tao.. I'm so glad to see him! :)

"Neal? Your back? Where have you been?.." I said happily..

"I just took I vacation that I think I really deserved.. Will you come with me for a moment.. I have something to tell you.." He suddenly looked serious.. Hmm I wonder what will he tell me..

I followed him until we reached the rooftop.. There are chairs there and he motioned me to sit on one of those.. then he started speaking..

"I want you to listen to me.. because what I'm going to tell you came from my heart sincerely.. I have been thinking these past days.. and my thoughts would always come back to you.. You know that you are very important to me.. I even told you that I treasure you like my own sister but these days, I've been wondering.. Is that really what you are to me?"

He stopped talking for a while.. His words did something to me.. This are the word that I desperately wanna hear before.. I waited for three years for this but to think that I am hearing it NOW?

"I realized that you are more than that.. I realized I like you.. I might have love you.."

It felt liked something had hit me? Is this real? Is NEAL really telling me this words?

"I want to tell you I'm sorry.. I know you looked up to me as your brother but.. You know what? I can't help it.. I fell for you.. And if I could turn back time, I will wish that I've realized sooner how much I like everything about you.."

"I know your surprised right now but I want you to consider my confession.. I'll understand if you became angry with me because it would seem like I'm taking advantage of our friendship.. Our friendship will always be there but if you'll allow it.. I want us to be more than that.."

Joshua's POV

It's been a really tiring day..

I have to do so many things like asking Kate's dad for permission on two things.. First, I've asked if I could court her daughter then, the second one is of I could do it on our photo shoot which I had already rescheduled..

Even if I'm really tired, my tiredness disappeared when Kate's dad told me "yes" and that I could go ahead as long as Kate will approved of me.. And I'm really hoping that she will..

I'm doing a lot of things but I am not doing it on my own.. I ask everyone to help me.. I ask a tiny favor regarding Kate's preference.. Like what she would like more.. a singer or a dancer? Because secretly I am both..

I was going back to the music room to practice my song when I remembered that I forgot my guitar on my mom's car..

I went out of the room.. that's when I heard voices..

It's Neal and Kate right?

"Actually, I have really like you for so long..  I've always thought of you more than a friend or more than just an 'older brother' Neal.. "

It felt like someone poured cold water on me.. I felt cold..

I prepared a lot.. I expected too much..

Will my preparations go to waste just like that?
