It was after UAAP. After the big games.
It was the time for our team to settle down a bit. And in that time given, we became closer.
Some group dates after trainings, and then road trips to who knows where. We werent just by ourselves but I admit, I started to know you better.
Your likes, your dislikes, your do's and don'ts, your quirks and your flaws.
In short, I liked you more.
I thought you were mataray and silent because of your rbf but well I was wrong. I also thought you were that serious straight forward - and bitchy - type of girl but you weren't too.
You were the gal I didn't even think of.
The girl I wanted.
The girl I needed.
I didn't come to the point where I asked myself if I liked you at first because truth be told, my eyes were already focused on one girl who maybe was the reason why I didn't even try to notice you earlier.
Let's say that even though I know that I would never have a chance on her, umasa pa rin ako. She already had someone and she also too was my teammate. So if I continued yo pursue her, then it would be drama.
Since that I didnt want any issue, I stopped. Even though that it hurt, I still stopped.
Let's just call the girl I liked first Fly fly.
Days passed and our friendship still kept on growing. We might not chat or text that much but hell were we closer in person. And I believe that was better.
While our training's intensity became higher, we became even closer.
Seriously though I was really suprised on how come we still managed to talk and bond with each other after trainings because I know we get tired as hell. But hey, we have our own ways.
Stress eating, study dates and random sleep overs (because while we study together at my house or in your dorm room we both end up sleeping beside each other).
Another factor on how we became closer was because I was a photographer. Well not really but I'll admit photography is my passion. I also become the team's photographer during some events - even during matches! Hahahaha. And with that, you would always ask me to bring my camera nearly all the time so that you could have your "photo shoots" and picture takings.
You would pull me to any location where you could do your poses and everything while I would take shots of you and laugh at them at the end (causing you to get masungit at me hahahaha).
As cheesy and random as it sounds, I think during those picture takings, I fell for you deeper. Not because I got to see your beauty closer, but rather because during those moments I had the chance to really meet the real you. The real Jhoana Louisse.
It was a blessing indeed.
Then came our SVL championship game. It was the 2nd game of the best of three championship with the opposing team having a one win advantage but oh well, you were awarded with the best scorer so why should I be down?
I already knew it was knew from the start. Why? Well even if you weren't our leader you still managed to help the team big time so when you were called damn was I happy.
While you were walking back to your seat, I saw you walk passed by me. I called you once, you didn't notice. I called you twice, you still didn't come near to me. I was starting to think that you were just being cautious because nearly everyone's - most especially shippers - eyes were on us.
We needed to stay lowkey.
But I still tried to call you again.
And then you came.
I told you congratulations and well I was surprised when you opened your arms in return and said you're welcome. You were smiling. I knew you were. I felt it.
After the hug you left for your seat. I also sat back to my seat which was far from yours. When you took off from the hug, I felt like I needed your prescence. Like there was this void left and only you could fill it up.
While I was trying to occupy my mind with other things just to not let me think about that feeling, I didn't notice that I was smiling like crazy thinking about the hug. About how you weren't afraid to hug me tight while smiling and to kiss my cheek in public.
Oh, the kiss! I can't believe I nearly forgot that.
It was the first time you kissed me in public. I know we aren't together, but it was a start.
After that event, I was craving for more time with you. I know I felt like this before with another person, but not as hard as this. Scratch that. Not as good as this.
Not as good as you make me feel.
