Never Meant For Each Other

CHAPTER TWELVE

Alexis Reyes

"My tummy hurts!" Mia complained, Oh, god. How do I deal with this? "Uh- What can I Do?" I asked completely clueless. Well, I'm not yet used to this kind of stuff. When Maxine and I were together, she never shows up when its her time of the time, nor does she want me to know. I mean it's a natural thing, nothing to be ashamed about. "Do you want a soup? Or maybe coffee?" I asked trying my best to not laugh at her position. She was laying down on my her bed, face first and hugging her knees to her chest. "I guess both? I really want a hot cup of coffee and a tomato soup.." She mumbles quietly but loud enough for me to hear. "Aw! My tummy hurts so bad! Freaking period tummy cramps!" She complained over and over. Though I have to admit, she looks really cute when she's vulnerable like this. And the way she keeps whining like a 5 year-old whose parents didn't buy ice cream, really makes me fall all over again. Yes, there it is. I admitted it.

I am In Love with Mia Geneva, the school's badass smart chick.

"Huuuuurrrrrry up already!" She cried out once more. And that was my cue to get downstairs and cook tomato soup and make a cup of coffee. "This is going to be a long day.." I sighed and headed downstairs.

"At last! Our guy here! Is whipped as fu-" Philip didn't get to finish what he was saying because, well, Let's say my favorite Aunt Aleisha was staying over for the weekend before she goes back on her business trip to the Philippines. Also known as, Mia's hometown. "Hey! Philip, watch your language." Aunt Aleisha says glaring at Philip with her hands on her hips. "Yes Auntie, I'm sorry." Philip says, obviously trying his best not to laugh. We have this bad habit that when people are scolding us or getting mad at us, or even just glaring at us, we laugh. She started to walk away, ut ten I decided to approach her. "Auntie! Wait, can I talk to you?" I asked politely, following her into the kitchen. "Yeah sure. What's up dear?" She asks drinking from her cup. "You see—" I start off offering her to sit down, followed by me sitting as well. "My girlfriend Mia, originally is from the Philippines. So, I was wondering, if you can bring home some things that can remind her of her country." I finish off, trying my best to sound sweet so she would agree. "Aw, how sweet of you darling! Sure why not! Give me a list and I'll try my best to look for them when I get there." She says with such delight and touches my cheeks, oh how I miss my mom. "Really? Thank you Auntie! Your the best!" I kiss her cheeks and went back to my room to google the stuff that I will ask Auntie to buy for me. "Hey whipped ass! Want to watch a movie with us?" Marc asks. "Language!" And that is Aunt Aleisha for you. "Sorry Auntie!" We all say the same time. See? This is normal for us. "Sorry, I need to do some research. And remember? I'm whipped." I smirked walking up the smirk. "Whipped ass douche." I heard Marc saying while laughing.

"Um- here it is Auntie. Let me re-read it for ya. Mini Jeepney, A rosary from Manaoag. Key Chain from Baguio, and a Handcrafted necklace." I hand her back the list and she placed it in her wallet. "Are you sure you can get those items? Are you sure you have everything you need?" I asked for probably the thousandth time already and of course the same answers. "Yes dear, I'll be touring around Luzon as well. And yes I have everything I need, now I have to go." She kissed my cheeks as well as the nitwits' as well. "Bye Auntie! Don't enjoy too much without us!" Joshua jokes and of course, Auntie just shacked her head and started to head to the terminal. We bid our final good bye and headed to get dinner.

"Alexis! She's asking for you.. again." Janina sighs leaving Mia's room. "My baby girl misses me?" I said as I entered her room. "Baby girl my ass." She says crossing her arms around her chest and sniffing. Yes she's sick. "Hey! Rude much?" I laughed sitting down on the edge of her bed. "Shut up." Okay, there is really something wrong. "Hey? What's up?" I asked, moving closer to her. But being the stubborn little cutie she is, she scooted further away. "Nothing." She continued looking away from me, not bothering to look at me. I sighed before answering, "Listen, We may not have been 'officially' together, but it still counts like it, we spend almost each day of our lives together for the past month and a half, and not including the days when you weren't still my girlfriend. I know that when you say that nothing is wrong , something is wrong." I finish off. "Fine, what to know what's wrong?" She says, finally looking at me and shifting closer, but still keeping distance. "I was at target yesterday afternoon. I was looking for gummy bears. Then I saw you, with a girl. You were laughing, you even carried her over your shoulder and started flirting." She said, she was beyond furious. If she only knew. "Babe? Calm down." I said and starting chuckling to myself. "How on earth am I supposed to calm down when my unofficial boyfriend is cheating on me already?!" She says with whiny voice, followed by her sneezing. She looks so cute and cuddly. "Listen okay? What you saw at target was me and my baby sister." I said still chuckling a bit. "You have a sister?" She asked, her features softening. "Yes. Wait, were you jealous?" Now I was smirking. "Yeah, because I thought you were cheating on me. We both know that your sister is very lady-like and may become a model someday. Unlike me, I man look at me, the way I dress is just very gro-" I cut her off because knowing Mia she will start insulting herself. "Your so cute. And Babe! Seriously, do you think I will date you if I don't like the way you dress? I like how you dress, 'cause come on, look at other girls. I mean they barely wear anything." I say making a point, because seriously, girls need to consider what they are wearing. "Sorry for being stubbo-" I cut her apology off and started to kiss her, I don't care if she is sick, but I really wanted to kiss her. Like so badly. She pulled away saying, "Hey, I'm sick." But I seriously don't care. "Don't care." I say and connected our lips once again. And thankfully she kissed back.

"Hey love birds! Enough flirting, and let's watch a Spongebob The movie." Niichole and Marc said bursting open the door an basically walking on me and Mia heavily making out on her bed. "Ew! Guys! Stop flirting!" Marc says covering Nichole's eyes. "Hey, I'm not a 12 year-old that still needs supervisions." Nichole says removing Marc's and from her eyes, laughing. "Fine, I'll get out of bed!" Mia whined and gets off my lap. "We'll be following you guys downstairs." I nodded toward Marc and tey disappeared into the hallway.

While watching the movie, it was proven that Mia loves the cartoon series Spongebob Squarepants. "Who'd you pick? Spongebob or Patrick?" I ask her, "A hundred percent Patrick Star." She giggled at her self. We went back to watching Spongebo and Plankton build a time machine. But my mind keeps drifting back to me and Mia's relationship, and how much I want to make it official. "Mia, baby can we talk?" I asked facing her, "Yeah sure. C'mon." She stood up and started to head to her porch. I followed her closely. "What's wrong?" She asked sitting down on her front porch. "I was wondering, if you w-want to make things official yet?" Did I just stutter? "You stuttered!" She shrieked. I look at her as if saying back to the situation. "Right." She says. "I mean, we are working this out pretty well, and handling it pretty well." And that was my cue, "Would you be my girlfriend?" I got on one knee, pulling out a promise ring I bought the other day. "Get up you dork! And yes, It would be my pleasure." She hugged me tightly. After withdrawing from the hug, I put the promise ring on her ring finger. "One for you, one for me." I showed her the one I also have that is paired with me. "Aw, so cute! Like damn." Joshua says, "Too sweet though." He chuckled and went back inside, Finally you guys made it official!" Janina says jumping down from Philip's back. "You guys always ruin moments!" Me and Mia say in unison. They just laughed and went back inside. I snaked both my arms around her waist and connected her lips. She gladly kissed back. At this very moment, I could say I am contented with my life.
