Almost Feels Like Always (COMPLETED)

HUDSON (SIX)

[My Fall:]
Can you give me the complete address? Ibibigay ko na lang sa cabbie.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa text message ni Autumn. Anyway, I changed her name to 'My Fall' because I'm sure as hell she would be my fall.

I saw her on Thursday getting all sweet with motherfucking Reese and for the second time, I got jealous. Kahit wala akong karapatan. Tang ina.

I was so fucking jealous and so fucking mad that I texted her, canceling our supposed Saturday 'date' that is today. I don't know what's gotten into me.

Para akong batang naagawan ng candy that time at gusto ko siyang awayin but fuck... Hindi niya ako pinatulan. Instead of saying 'okay', she texted me that we can watch it some other day.

Dammit. I'm so weak when it comes to her.

[Me:]
What? Commute ka?

[My Fall:]
Yes.

No. Ayaw ko siyang mag-commute.

[Me:]
I don't trust cabbies. There's a lot of bad news about them. Besides, mahihirapang pumasok ang cab dito. Mahigpit ang village security.

[My Fall:]
I don't have my own car. Hindi rin ako mahahatid ng driver because Mom had an emergency.

Oh, yeah... I heard her Mom and Dad were surgeons.

[Me:]
I'll pick you up.

[My Fall:]
What? No! Ako na lang ang pupunta!

[Me:]
Babe, I told you na mahigpit ang security. Hassle. Sunduin na kita.

[My Fall:]
Wrong sent.

Huh? Wrong sent?

I read my last text and shit... I called her babe! What the heck! Imbis na nerbyosin ay napangisi pa ako.

Well, can't take that back now.

[Me:]
No. That's meant for you. Hehe😏 Sunduin kita.

[My Fall:]
Ass! Don't call me that!

[Me:]
Come on, babe. Don't be stubborn.

[My Fall:]
Ugh!

I chuckled. I can already imagine her, adorably rolling her eyes. She gave me their address. Malapit lang ang subdivision na tinitirhan nila sa village namin. Malapit doon 'yung convenience store kung saan ko siya nakita noon.

10 A. M. pa lang ay nakagayak na ako kahit na lunch pa ang usapan namin. Nakasalubong ko pa si Kuya Gibbs sa sala.

He scanned me from head to toe. "Whoa. Saan ang lakad?"

Inukutan ko siya ng mata. I hate when he's being nosy. "Susunduin ko 'yung classmate ko."

"You do know we have a dinner, right? And Lolo don't take excuses."

"I'll be there. Susunduin ko nga lang 'yung classmate ko. Gagawa kami ng project."

He smirked and it annoys me. "Himala! You're cooperating! Hindi ka na nagbabayad ngayon para ilista ang pangalan mo sa group projects?"

"Pwede ba, Kuya?"

Ang lutong ng halakhak niya. "Ang pikon mo, ah! Dati proud ka pa sa mga—"

"Kuya!" Inis na putol ko sa sasabihin niya.

Hindi naman talaga ako tumutulong sa mga group work dati. Kapag girls ang kasama ko sa grupo, nagpapa-cute lang ako at ilalagay na nila ang pangalan ko sa project. Kapag boys naman, binabayaran ko. Pero syempre iba 'tong ngayon. Si Autumn kaya 'to.
