Fall For Me

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

It was three in the afternoon when Vincent arrived to visit. I hugged him so tight na para bang ang tagal naming di nagkikita. He chuckled, maybe he thinks the same way.

"Halaaaa..", I uttered and fascinated by what he's carrying.

"Like it?",

"No.. I love it!", excited kong sagot sabay kinuha yung isang basket full of chocolates. Oh man, I'm really addictive with these.

"Hahaha. So dito na lang ba tayo sa labas niyo?", tanong ni Vincent kasi busy ako sa pagbibilang kung ilang piraso ng chocolate yung nasa basket.

Pagpasok sa loob, he blessed my mother and father's arm and teasing to do the same thing to Kuya Jude.

"Sure ka Bro?", sabi ni Kuya sabay abot ng kamay niya. Hahaha, so cute.

"You know I'm just kidding Jude.", sabi naman ni Vincent. Sabay abot ng paper bag na may cupcakes.

"Wow naman! Malapit na kitang gawing Daddy.", biro ni Kuya at siya ang nagmano kay Vincent.

"Hahaha baliw talaga kayong dalawa!", natatatawa kong comment. Sobrang close na nila sa isa't isa dahil parehas sila ng instincts at syempre love nila ang basketball.

Iniwan nila kami sa living room watching comedy show. I sit next to him. Tuwing akmang yayakap si V (short for Vincent), nilalakihan ko siya ng mata kasi baka makita siya nina Ma at Pa. Alam niyo naman ang parents, selos over here and may pagka-strict parin over there.

Minutes passed, nagpaalam si Kuya na magbabasketball lang sa court, sina Ma at Pa, inimbitahan ng kaibigan nila sa party ng isang highschool friend. So it's just V and I.

I feel V's arms wrapped around my waist. Then kissed my head. The comedy show we're watching turned like a serious one.

"I love you Babe", he whispered and tighten his sweet embrace. Ofcourse I hug him back.

"Me too, you know that.".

I just remembered it's been five months and yet we just embrace each other and kiss only on forehead. Well, that's an achievement but you know, in every relationship you have to earn your patience to avoid intimacy.

To distract V's seductive touch, I offered him chocolates that he gave but he refused.

"Hmm.. Is there something wrong? Bigla kang tumahimik?", I asked. Focused lang kasi siya sa pinapanood kahit halata naman na he's not really watching. Umiling lang siya.

"Come on Vincent.. Nagtatampo ka?",

"What for?", masungit niyang tanong.

"I know you know it.", sagot ko then put both of my palm to his face so he will face me. Yung mata niya is like pleasing me. Sadness invades and wanting something. Oh man, how can I resist his dark brown eyes, pointed nose, fair, soft skin and his kissable lips.

The last thing I know his lips is next to mine for seconds, then for a minute..

Nung nararamdaman ko na humihigpit ang yakap niya sakin, I tried to pull out from that kiss but he's trusting even more. I can't win in his strength, I just feel his lips tracing down my neck and it made me shiver because I didn't feel that way before. I feel like my body becomes weaker but I know I have to stop V.

"V-Vincent.. p-please.. stop.", I plead and tried to push myself away. But he isn't listening. So I give my full force to push him.

He's shock while staring at me. Parang nagulat din siya na nagawa niya sakin yun. My eyes becomes watery and I can't stop the sadness. I'm dismayed. He embraced me, this time it's full of comfort and worry.

"Damn I'm really sorry Baby, I'm tempted and that's a huge mistake I've made. I am really sorry please don't cry. It makes my heart tear apart.", he pleads.

After I recovered, I requested him to go home early since my mood switched. Still, at the end of our talk before he goes, he's still sorry for what he did. Half of me knows that it's also my fault. If I didn't kiss him, he'll not be a bit aggressive.

It's just seven in the evening but I'm laying now on my bed, rolling here and there. Thinking here and everywhere until my phone beeps and a text from V popped on the screen.

*Babe.. I'm sorry but I'm drinking alcohol right now. You know, just to lighten up a bit my sadness..

Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. Well he's 20 so he can handle himself drinking alcoholic drinks. But the fact na nag-iinom siya minsan, I don't still like the idea.

*Alam mong ayaw kong nag-iinom ka. You're making the situation worse.

*I'm sorry Babe. Did I made you feel afraid?

*Of what?

*Of me Babe? :(

Medyo naawa naman ako sa kaniya. Bukod sa kanina pa siya sorry ng sorry, kung ano ano pa iniisip niya because of me.

*At first. But now, am not. Just finish that and go home. Masaya na ako nun.

*Really? Thank you so much. I'm on my way home. I want to come there tomorrow but I guess that's a bad idea for you? I'll just go with Uncle in Batangas for a vacation. Can I?

Siguro nga it's good for us. Not to see each other for a short time just to forget what happened so I replied yes.

The morning comes and I stretched my slender body while still laying.

Ewan pero I'm out of reality. Napatingin na lang ako sa pinto nung may kumatok then bumukas. Si Kuya..

"Uy! Ano mantika ka na rin? Pasado 11 na oh! Bangon-bangon din pag may time.", pang-aasar niya. Syempre kahit tinatamad ako, bumangon parin ako.

"Anak, ibili mo nga ako sa palengke ng ipang-hahapunan natin mamaya.", utos ni Mama. Napataas kilay naman ako.

"True ba yan? Umaga pa lang gabihan agad pinaplano mo?", sabi ko sabay kamot ng ulo. Yung kamot na naiinis.

"Ganun talaga anak. Sabi nga, it's better to be planned than regret after.", aba hindi ko alam kung inaasar ako ni Mama.

"Baka it's better to give than to receive?", sabat ni Kuya. Tinawanan ko siya. Wala kasing connect. Wala pang sense. Hahahaha.

"Ok fine just give me time to fix myself Ma.", sabi ko at tumalikod na para pumunta sa banyo.

"Ma may sira talaga yan si Jane sa ulo. Akala niya ata robot siya eh?", narinig kong bulong ni Kuya kay Mama.

"Bakit?", nagtataka si Mama.

"Give time fix herself daw eh? Alam ko may sira na siya sa ulo pero di ko alam na buong katawan?", sabi ni Kuya na may nakakatawang accent sa english niya. Ayan. Ayaw kasi mag-aral mabuti sa english. Hahaha.
