"So what are you doing here again?"Wade said
"I bought a lunch for you,its a homemade and i made it for you of course!"i happily said
"I already eat lunch with Athena."casual nyang sabi.
Awtomatikong nawala ang ngiti sa labi ko ng marinig ko yon.With Athena?11with that hella frog?
"Ow I'm sorry nag abala pa tuloy ako.Anyway iiwan ko---"
"No i won't eat it anyway so its better if you'll take it home again.Masasayang lang din naman yan at di ko rin makakain."Wade said.
Ngumiti ako ng pilit saka tumango.i take a deep breath and smile wide.
"Okay so i better go now i think,anyway tomorrow I'll bring a homemade lunch again and please eat it with me.I want to join you on your lunch tomorrow and opps i don't take a no for an answer."nakangiti kong sabi.
I hear his sigh and nod.
"Okay just go i have a lot of things to do."Wade
"Yes!Thankyou Wade."i happily said ang leave his office.
I went to Dustin's office and as usual he's in the meeting.Buti na nga lang at pinapasok na ko ng secretary nya.She knows naman kasi na lagi rin naman akong pumupunta sa office ni Dus para tumambay.I lay on the sofa and close my eyes.I think of the things I've done for Wade.Maybe I'm really out of my mind for chasing Wade so bad.Sometimes i also think what julla and ellea said.Is Wade worth it?Is he really worth to chase?Even though i know the answer "no" I'll always find a way to think that yes his still worth to chase.Maybe my so much love for him is the reason why I'm still fighting.
I feel a soft hand carries my cheeks.
"You're silently crying again?What happened?"
His soft voice that i want to hear everytime i feel so down.I don't know but I'm always finding a way to go back to him everytime I've got hurt.
I open my eyes and at first its blurry.He wipe the tears that keep rolling on my eyes down to my cheeks.And now i clearly saw his handsome face.His lovely face.
I get up and hug him so tight like i'm not gonna let him go.I cry yes I'm crying to him again and like a baby.
"Shhhh everything gonna be alright babe.Stop crying.Someday he'll gonna see your worth and when that time comes.I swear he's the one who'll chase you.You're not gonna chase him anymore because his the one wholl do that so stop crying like a baby.I'm always here i will never leave you no matter what i promise.Even if you just keep coming back to me when he's hurting you i will still here to comfort and protect you from the pain."
I don't know but that makes me cry harder.
"You making me cry harder i hate you."
"Shhh stop crying babe he's not worth to cry."
He hold my face and wipe my tears.it keeps rolling but his not tired wiping it.
"Darn your tears why they can't stop rolling on your cheeks?and look at your lips why its pale?Seems like its needed a kiss."he joked on the last part.
I punch his chest and he reacts.
"Ouch babe thats hurt.Stop crying you're getting ugly."he laughingly said.
"I hate you you always bully me everytime I'm crying!"i pouted
"Stop pouting.So what happened?"he said and sit.
I sit again on the sofa.Hindi ko alam kung san ko ba sisimulan.Nakatingin lang sya sakin at iniintay akong magkwento.Lumipat naman sya ng tayo papunta sa dining table na good for 4.He make a sign na tumabi ako sa kanya at pumunta naman ako.
"If you don't want to talk about its okay lets eat.You know you owe me a lunch today."He said.
"He didn't take my homemade lunch."i said.
He look at me intently.
"What?!Why are you looking like that?"inis kong sagot.
"I'm just wondering why he didn't take it.Maybe you're not good at cooking?"pang aalaska pa nito.
"I hate you!"asar kong sabi
"I love you too babe."natatawa nitong sabi
"Grr.Ewan ko sayo."
"Joke ito naman hindi mabiro.Asan na nga pala yung homemade mo.I want to eat it."he said
Hindi ko alam pero agad akong napangiti.
"Really?"i happily said
Tumingin naman sya sakin saka ngumiti.
"You're smiling?thats new."tuwang tuwang sabi nya.
"Are you tripping me?"inis kong tanong
"No I'm not.I'm just happy that at last you're smiling again."
Kinuha ko naman yung homemade lunch at nilapag sa harap nya.Humalumbaba ako saka sya pinagmasdan.Awtomatiko akong napangiti ng makita ko kung gano sya kasaya.Sana ganan rin ang reaksyon ni Wade kapag dinadalhan ko sya ng lunch.
"Okay first taste coming up!"he said saka sumubo ng isa.
"Hmm you're good at cooking."
"Ows?bola mo din no."i said
"Onga cancel ko na lang yung order ko and will share with your homemade lunch."he smiled
I stunned.Thats what i really want to happen with wade.I feel a butterflies on my stomach they keep flying.
I smile and nod.
"So ganito after ko ikaw naman."
"Okay!"ako
Sumubo ulit sya ng isa tapos ako naman.Hindi nga rin sa pagmamayabang but i think i have a future for cooking.
Sumubo ulit sya ng isa tapos isa pa.
"Hey that's unfair akala ko pa salitan?"
"Ow salitan ba? Nakalimutan ko eh"tumatawa nyang sabi
"Unfair!ubos na tuloy sya."
"Ang sarap mo naman kasing magluto eh nakalimutan ko tuloy na salitan."nakangiti nyang sabi
"Dus."i call his name.
He look to me with a curious face.
"Yes?"
"I know this not appropriate to me but I'm so thankful that you're always here for me."
Ngumiti ito sakin saka tumayo.Nagtataka akong tumingin sa kanya at idinipa nya ang dalwa nyang kamay.
"Nangangalay ako bilis na i know you like it."pang aasar nya sakin
Napailing na lang ako saka tumakbo papunta sa kanya.And yes i hug him.
I don't know if i can do all of my stupids things without him.I consider dustin as my bestfriend.
