Its past 2 in the morning and until now, I couldn’t sleep.

Why am I thinking of it too much?

Why am I thinking of him too much?

I walked myself to the kitchen to grab some midnight snack. Or morning snack rather.

“Bakit ko ba yun iniisip?” sabi ko sa sarili ko.

“Di naman mahalaga..” then I drink my milk.

“Pero bakit ko nga iniisip kung hindi mahalaga?” sabay subo ng chocolate muffins.

*Flash back*

“Carl..” hmp! Di ko pa nakakalimutan yung ginawa nya sa akin!

Sasapakin ko na sana siya, pero niyakap niya ko.

“Loriezze.”

“Oh?” di ako makapagreact. Masyadong mabilis ang mga pangyayari.

“Please, let’s stay like this for a minute.” He said through my ears.

His hug sent my tummy into cartwheels. Why am I feeling this way?

I could also feel my cheeks flaming. Wow. How could he do this to me?

While he’s hugging me, my mind keeps on thinking of what happened lately.

I guess, the girl was his gf. Was – because she broke up with him? But why is she the one crying? Maybe.. Carl dumped her? Or.. Yeah, whatever! I don’t care.

Aha! Forget why I’m feeling this way, forget why the girl is crying. Natauhan ako bigla.

“Hey! Bitawan mo ko!”

“No. I won’t let you.”

Grabe si Carl. Buti di niya nakikita na nagblublush ako. Lagot ka sa akin, bibitawan mo rin ako.

“Aaaaa!” I bite his shoulder. Hehe. Rude.

“Aray!” at yes, success. Bumitaw siya.

“Bakit ka ba nangyayakap bigla? Tsaka naalala mo ‘to-” tinuro ko yung pisngi ko, pero niyakap niya ulit ako.

“I need some hug.” Umiiyak ba siya? “Please.”

At dahil mabait ako, at naaawa ako sa kanya at para bang nagugustuhan ko yung yakap niya.. Aw. Hindi! Ayoko ng yakap niya! Pumayag na ko.

“Ano bang nangyari?” I asked him.

“She left me.” Carl said. So she left him? So why is she crying if it’s her fault? Stupid love.

“Sorry.” Yun na lang sinabi ko. Wala akong alam na words of wisdom. Haha

“Wala naman akong ginawa na ikasasakit niya.”

“Oh. Tara sa loob? Doon natin pag-usapan.” Sabi ko.

“No.” he let go of me. “Wag na. thank you.” And then he left.

Di ko na hinabol. I know he needs some time and space. Besides, I’m so hungry. Jollibee’s Shanghai Rolls, here I come!

I sit on a chair near the window.. shanghai rolls was about to travel in my mouth when someone came.

“Loriezze?”

“Oh. Hi Clark!” I can’t take it. I’m so hungry so I greeted him while eating. Haha. ‘Wa poise.

He just laughed.

“Sorry.” I muttered.

“Okay lang. nakakatuwa ka nga eh.”

“Hehe. Oh, upo ka.” Pag-aaya ko.

“No. thanks. I’m with someone.” With someone? Babae ba? Sana lalaki!

Eh teka, bakit ba ko nangingialam?

“Oh.” Tapos ngumiti na lang ako.

“There she is..” tapos tumingin siya dun sa side sa my counter.

“She?” I murmured.

I looked where he is looking at. I saw an angel. Yes, an angel. She’s so pretty. Ang kulang na lang, pakpak eh. Napaka-amo ng mukha.

“Hi!” sabi ni Angel. Este, nung kasama ni Clark.

“Hello.” I greeted.

“She’s Kara. My-” Clark.

Please don’t say girlfriend. Please.. it might break my heart.

Wait. Did I just say that? No. it’s not that I like Clark. Well, maybe I’m jealous cause his attention will all be on Kara.. that’s it. But man, she’s prettier than me! Haha.

“His fiancé.” Kara said while grinning.

Wow. Hindi nga girlfriend, fiancé naman. The hell.

“Oh.” Nagulat ako masyado.

“No, she’s just a friend.” Clark said. Friend ka dyan, baka naman girlfriend! Hmp.

“Yeah. Friends to lovers!” I faked a smile.

“Hey. You know what, I like you!” Kara.

Talaga? Well ako, ayoko sayo. Wahaha. Halata namang pinaplastic mo ko eh.

“Oh. Thanks! I’m Loriezze.” Tapos nagshake hands kami. Sana pala may dala akong hand sanitizer, baka may kung anong virus ang babaeng to. Mukhang anghel na malandi? Pwede.

“Nice meeting you, Lorie.” Tapos nagsmile na naman. Pwede ba? Tigil tigilan niya at baka masapak ko siya.

Eh bakit ako ganito magreact?

Eh kasi, plastic siya.

Oo. Nako. Feeling ko talaga pinagseselos ako nito kay Clark, eh wala naman akong gusto sa fiancé niya. Psh.

Wala nga ba? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Di ko alam!

“Lorie?” Clark.

“Yeah, I wanna call her Lorie cause I like her.” Kara. Nako, may pet name pa sa akin tong babaeng to. Yuck. Lorie? Ampanget!

“Ah.” Clark. Ito namang si Calrk, parang dakilang tagasunod lang ni Kara. Ano ba?

“By the way, we need to go Lorie. See you!” Kara.

Sige. Mas mabuti ngang umalis na kayo. Iniistorbo niyo yung pagkain ko.

“Ok. Take care.”

“I will.” Tapos nagwink sa akin si Kara at pinulupot ang kamay niya sa braso ni Clark.

Ang sarap batukan nung babaeng yun. Mukha ngang anghel, plastic naman, am I judging the book by its cover? Hindi. Malandi talaga siya. Marunong akong magsense ng mga slut eh. LOL.

*End*

I’m not thinking of him. I’m thinking of them!

First is Carl.

I’m worried about him. He needs somebody to talk to. Plus, he has the attitudes I love the most. I think I like him.. I don’t know but, whenever I’m with him, something’s going on in my stomach. And, I feel like my cheeks are heating up. So does it mean that I like him? Argh. But, he loves someone else, his ex. So maybe I’ll just go with the flow. Go with what life has to offer me.

Second is Clark.

Why do I have to be jealous? I don’t like him, that’s true. But when I saw him with Kara, I felt sadness.. With what I said earlier, maybe I’m just jealous because he won’t have time for me like he does in the past days. That’s it. And wow, he’s getting married at a young age! How sad.

“Whatever. Those boys will ruin my summer vacation. Can they just get out of my mind?”

Is it possible for me to fall in love with two people at a time?
