String Four [Careless]

 

[Julia’s POV]

“One-two-three.” Sabi ni EJ at tumugtog ng napansin niyang walang sumusunod sakaniya ay umalis at pumunta sa mini-fridge ng Garage ng Parking Five.

I crossed my arm and sat on a couch.

WHERE IN THE WORLD WAS DJ? NAKALIMUTAN BA NIYANG MAY DINNER KAMI?

 

Suddenly, may naramdaman akong presence.

It started kissing my neck.

Aish, ano ba? Sino ba to? Nakikiliti ako.

 

Humarap at ako nakita ko si Diego.

“Di-Diego?” I said.

I never told DJ this pero naging kami ni Diego for three years simula first year hanggang third year high school, we broke up for reasons I can’t explain.

“Anong ginagawa mo?” sabi ko.

 

He leaned back sa sofa at ngumiti.

“Obvious ba babe? I’m kissing your neck.” Sabi niya.

“Well can you stop it?” sabi ko “And stop calling me that.”

 

Hinigit niya ako bigla papunta sakaniya and hinawakan ako sa may waist.

“Diego ano ba..” sabi ko.

Hindi niya lang ako pinansin at hinalikan ulit leeg ko.

“Diego, can you stop it?” sabi ko.

“Mmm.” Sabi niya lang.

“Diego may I remind you break na tayo.” Sabi ko ng madiin.

Tumigil siya at nagsmirk.

“Why did I ever break up with you Jules? You’re just so hot.” Sabi niya.

“Correction, ako ang nakipagbreak sayo.” Sabi ko.

Tinulak ko siya papalayo.

“Julia, c’mon wala pa naman si DJ…” sabi niya.

“This is why I broke up with you, masiyado kang dominating Diego.” Sabi ko sakaniya.
