Dennise
So Sick by Ne-yo was on my playlist. I love listening to old music. They're more meaningful than the new music that we have right now. I mean, who doesn't like old music?
"Dennise, are you okay?" Asked Christian who's been with me half of the day. He sighed when I smiled while looking on my hands. "You know what? Let's go! Have ice cream with me!"
"I'm sorry Chris, but I'm not in the mood."
"Yes, you are."-Christian
"Chris." I sighed when he hold my hand.
Ngumiti lang din siya at saka kinuha ang bag ko sa isang upuan. Hindi nalang din ako nag reklamo at saka nag pahila sakanya.
Nang makalabas kami sa office ay huminto siya at binitawan ang kamay ko. I wiped my hand on my pants making him raise his eye brows at me. I grinned.
"I forgot, no holding hands." He pocketed his hands. "Kay Alexander nga pala yang mga kamay na yan."
"Saakin 'to, Chris! Nasaakin nga diba?!"
"Oh! Bakit nasigaw ka?!"-Christian
"Don't mention his name! It annoys me."
"Annoys you, or namimiss mo lang siya?" Seryoso niyang tanong na nag paiwas saakin ng tingin sakanya. He chuckled and ruffled my hair. "Kunwari wala akong sinabi."
I rolled my eyes making him smile. Umakbay na siya saakin at sabay kaming naglakad palabas ng gate. After a month of being with him inside the school, nasanay na din siguro ako.
It's not that he has a chance on me. Yan kaagad iniisip ko eh noh?! No way! I still love that guy who succeeded on getting my heart, but broke it apart by just one mistake.
"Saan tayo pupunta?"
"Ice cream parlour?"-Christian
"Maglalakad tayo?"
He shrugged, "You need fresh air."
"Fresh air is everywhere."
"Distract yourself from thinking bad things." Sagot niya at saka pumulot ng bato. "Ito ka ngayon, bato."
Tinitigan ko lang siya at saka naglakad ulit. Wala akong masabi. Sa totoo lang, wala ako sa tamang pag iisip to talk to Christian. Sure he is distracting me, but, I can't.
I just can't forget about him and forget that we're in a situation where nobody had never been before.
Okay na ang family namin. Though, I'm still sad that our mom's friendship is not like before. I haven't seen my dad after that day. At hindi ko din alam kung gusto ko pa siyang makita or hindi after what happened.
"Vanilla?" Asked Christian after letting me sit at the corner of the store. He smiled, "Stop frowning. I'll think na napilitan ka lang na pumunta dito!"
"Pinilit mo naman talaga ako ah?"
"Oh come on, Dennise! Can you at least sugar coat your words? Nasasaktan mo na ako!"-Christian
I laughed and shook my head. "I'm not fun of sugar coating my words, Chris. Sorry, if I'm hurting you." I'm just being me.
He ruffled my hair and then went to order our ice creams.
How do you escape from reality? There's no way out, trust me.
We ate ice cream after five minutes of waiting. Christian didn't say anything. Pinanuod niya lang din ako habang kumakain.
I don't know how did I end up with Christian and not with my bestfriends. My three girls knows nothing, while this man whom I just met a year ago knows everything. At least everything about my situation right now.
