"Congrats, babe! Galing-galing mo talaga!" Masaya kong niyakap si Alexander after their game. "I'm so proud to be your girlfriend!"
"Baby, bitaw na po. I'm sweating."-Alex
"I don't care."
Bumuntong hininga siya at saka yumakap na din. I wanted to hug him every time I saw a girl staring at us. Lagi naman ako nakakakita ng mga ganitong babae pag nakayakap ako kay Alex. Lahat ng babae sa school, ganun!
I pulled away to gave him a brief kiss. I heard oohs and aahs from the girls around us. I smirked.
"Akala ko ba?"-Alex
"Nah. I don't want to wake up the next day with that shitty club!"
"Oh! Hahaha. They'll hear you, baby." He said as he covered my lips. "They will kills us both!"
They won their first game. Buti nga umabot pa si Alex bago mag start ang game! Eh kasi muntikan na kaming ma-late. The instrument store was a little bit far. And nag enjoy kasi kami pareho. It was memorable, cause it's the first time na sinabihan ko na siya ng I love you.
That changes a lot! Mas lalo akong naging sweet ng hindi ko alam. Gusto ko akin lang siya.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Alex asked while tucking the strand of my hair behind my ear. "Thank you for accompanying me tonight."
I hold his hand. "Drive safe, baby. Alright?"
"I will."-Alex
Yumuko siya at saka hinalikan ako. Matagal na halik. I hold onto his jaw and deepened the kiss. Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi ko at saka hinila na nagpatawa saakin.
"Baby!"
"I love you."-Alex
"I love you, too."
That's how it ended.
I came in the house with the lights off. I turned it on and saw my mom sleeping on the couch. 8 palang naman ng gabi ah? Nag wowork siya. The laptop is on the table.
Pumunta ako sa harapan ni mommy at saka siya hinalikan sa forehead. For a moment ay naisip kong tumingin sa laptop. I just feel like it! Pero hindi ako ganun tao. Work yan ni mommy. Something private.
I stand and was about to walk out when a picture caught my eyes. Lumuhod ulit ako at saka tinignan ang picture.
My heart beat frantically. Naluha ako. I wiped my tears and immediately put the picture down. Aalis na sana ako when my mom hold my arm.
"You should have told me na may iba na siyang pamilya!"
"Haha. Affected ka, 'nak?"-Mom
"I'm not sad na may iba na siya, my! I'm sad because you are."
She faked a laugh. "I thought I'm over him. Hindi pa pala. I'm still stalking him since the last day na nakita ko siya." Aniya at halos hindi ko na siya matunugan. Hindi siya si mommy. "He has another family, but now, he has a girlfriend."
"How did you even fall in love with a man like that?!"
"You can't really teach your heart to love someone. That's his flaws."-Mommy
"I don't know. I think you should stop loving, dad."
She chuckled. Tumingin ako sakanya at nakita ang pamumula ng mga mata niya. I hugged her.
"He's finally here. I mean in the country. After 8 years of staying in Canada, nandito na siya."-Mommy
"Stop stalking him, mom!"
