Loving Universe // EDITING

Seven (2) ♥

Selfish

"I still can't believe that Lexa died, I'm a Clexa shipper." Sabi ko kay Mason.

"Really? I'm a Bellarke shipper, then, mas may chemistry silang dalawa." Sabi niya.

"Chemistry? Atleast Clexa happened, and your ship? Never, and Bellamy is mine so no." Sabi ko at umiling iling siya sakin, I can see his jawline move, damn.

"I remember you gushing over Bellamy, and I like Octavia." Sabi niya, nadala kami ng usapan.

"Hey.. Can I borrow Mason for the moment?" Sabi ni Elisa at hinawakan ang braso ni Mason, he looked up to her like seeing his sun over his moon.

"Yeah, go." Sabi ko at ngumiti sa kanilang dalawa.

"You sure? Babalikan kita agad, ha." Sabi ni Mason, at hinila na agad siya ni Elisa paalis.

Nangalumbaba ako habang nakatingin sa kanila, I honestly want to cry right now, pinulupot ni Elisa ang kamay niya sa leeg ni Mason at si Mason naman ay humawak sa baywang niya, tinitigan ko ang munting mga tawa nila habang sumasayaw, they look so happy together.

"Hi.." Someone approached me, lumingon ako don at nakita ang lalaki na may makapal na kilay, he's a really good-looking guy.

"Hi?" Nag-aalinlangan kong sabi sa kanya. Nakataas ang buhok niyang kulay itim, his brows are thick, he looks like a bad boy, I always prefer someone like Mason, sweet and smiling, unang tingin mo palang ay alam mo ng mabait at totoong tao.

Ugh! Mason again, hanggang kelan ba ako magpapakatanga? Kinatok ko ang ulo ko.

"What are you doing?" Tanong niya.

"Nothing, just knocking my head to think straight." Sabi ko at tumawa siya.

"Kaibigan ka ni ate?"

"Ate?" I asked him, ang daming babae dito.

"Si Ate Elisa." Sabi niya, oh yeah right, bakit hindi ko agad naisip eh si Elisa ang may birthday.

"Bestfriend ako ng manliligaw ng ate mo." Sabi ko at tumango siya, medyo na-aawkward ako sa tingin niya, ngiting ngiti kasi siya.

"I'm Hiro, you?" Sabi niya at inalok ang kamay.

"Universe." Sagot ko at tinanggap ang kamay niya, I don't like rejecting people so I accepted it even if I don't know him and clueless about who he is, what if he's scammer.

"Woah, thats a very unique name, at ngayon lang kita nakita."

"Everyone says that." Sabi ko at uminom ng juice.

"So can I have this dance? Since you're alone, at wala naman sigurong magagalit."

Tumingin ako kay Mason, magkadikit ang noo nila ni Elisa, so close from kissing, "Sure." Sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niyang nag-aalok, tinulungan niya rin akong tumayo.

Nang makapunta kami sa dancefloor ay nag-iba ang kanta, mas slow and romantic, tumawa siya at pati narin ako.

"What a timing." His giggles are so nice to hear, napangiti ako, I don't like him its just, he's intimidating but cute when he laughs.

When we started dancing, my eyes darted to Mason's eyes, parang kanina pa siya nakatingin and it gave me chills, bumaling ulit ako kay Hiro.

Kung ano man yang pinaparamdam mo sakin, please tigilan mo na dahil sa bawat tingin ay mas lalo akong lumulubog, mas lalo akong kinakapos ng hininga, mas lalo akong namamatay sa pag-asang ako naman.

Am I not enough for him? Ano pa ba ang kulang sakin? Friendzone nalang ba talaga? Its kind of depressing kasi I'm the one who stood by him, when no one else does.

"Hey, are you crying?" Sabi niya, umiling ako, maybe my eyes became red at the thought.

"No, medyo inaantok na kasi ako." Sabi ko.

"Ah! Mawawala rin yan.. Do you want to drink coffee after? I can get you one." Sabi niya at mas tinitigan ako, tumango nalang ako sa kanya.

"Hiro!" Lumingon kami parehas kay Elisa, magkawahak parin sila ni Mason.

"Let's change partners." Sabi ni Elisa at bumitaw kay Mason to dance with Hiro.

"I want to dance my little brother.." Sabi ni Elisa at ngumisi kay Hiro.

"You, okay?" Tanong ni Mason at tumango ako. "So can we dance?" Sabi niya at hinigit na ang kamay ko.

"Yes, my Bellamy." Sabi ko at tumawa.

"Your Bellamy?" Tanong niya at nilagay ang kamay niya sa baywang ko.

"Because I'm Octavia." Sabi ko.

"So I'm your brother.." Sabi niya at ngumiti.

"My protector." Sabi ko at nilagay ang kamay ko sa balikat niya, he smiled at me.

"Anyway, why are you dancing with Elisa's brother." He asked like its a sin.

"He asked me to dance with him, and since I'm alone because you left me there so I accepted the offer." Sabi ko at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

"You don't just dance with strangers." Sabi niya, his expression changed, parang galit and that scares me.

"Its a party and its free to dance with everyone.. At kapatid siya ni Elisa so why not?" Pagtatanggol ko.

"If its your friend." Dugtong niya.

"Friend? You're the only friend I have because you don't let me have any friend except you and I should explore the world, Mason, paano ako magkakaroon ng kaibigan if you're always there being over protective of me." Galit kong sagot.

Agad kong inalis ang kamay ko sa kanya.

"You said I'm your protector, ayaw ko lang mapahamak ka."

This really gets to me, pwede siyang may Elisa pero kapag ako na ang may iba ay bawal na.

"You're selfish.." Sabi ko at tinulak siya. "Let me live on my own." Sabi ko at tinalikuran siya.

"I just don't want any boy near you, pwedeng babae, wag lang lalaki." Sabi niya at hinawakan ang braso ko. "I'm jealous, I want you mine, only mine, I own you, Universe." Sabi niya at yinakap ako.

Hindi ko napigilan, I cried that night while hugging him.
