Now and Forever (Ricci Rivero Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

"Come out Ricci. You don't have to hide. I saw you already."

"I-I'm sorry for eavesdropping. I didn't mean to-" I was startled because of what she did next.

She enveloped me with a hug. Which I returned her an even more warming embrace to make her feel better.

"Do you want to talk about it?" There. I finally managed to speak. She replied by shaking her head no.

"Well, okay then, uhm." I can't think of anything to say. All I know was I want to stay longer in her embrace. Nabaliktad na nga yata. Eh siya dapat ang napapabetter nung hug pero ako ata ang nagwagi!

Few seconds later ay kumalas na siya sa yakap. She wiped her tears and bravely spoke.

"Uh, sorry. Things just got too hard."

"No problem with me. Just know that I'll be here whenever you feel like talking about it. And even when you just wanted a hug and affirmation. I'll be here." I said and flashed the sweetest smile my mouth can form.
