Chapter Nine: Right Here, Right Now.

Chapter 9: Right Here, Right Now

*Nicko's POV*

Two months have passed. And I'm perfectly aware that this two opposite wonderful guys are responsible for making me happy all the time.

But I will always have to choose between the two of them because it's utterly impossible to be with two guys at the same time. (Or so I thought?) And both sides have asked me the most nerve-racking question that I have heard. (ON THE SAME DAY, BUT DIFFERENT TIME)

Joshua did it the fancy way. He wrote me a LOOOONG Love Letter full of affection. Which took me a whole lot of an hour go read. Then at the bottom, the question lingered:

"WILL I PLEASE BE THE ONE TO SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET?"

Pretty much romantic. Uhuh.

But when it was Miguel's turn, I was surprised that he took effort to take me out to the field. He hugged me tight and he willingly kissed my hair. (My schoolmates took a bunch of pictures!) Then he put his hand behind my neck to make me face him.

"Will you be, with all that I promised you and all that I planned for the both of us, with all the love that I thought I never failed to show, be my boyfriend?" I'm speechless at that time and I just stood there.

His eyes twinkled. I admired the creases on his cheeks which came from excessive smiling.

You know what I responded to the both of them? (Because it was pretty much the very same answer.)

"LET ME THINK!"

Then I gleefully walked my way home and told my mom the WHOLE story. Dad heard of it too and he patted my head. Leaning on to kiss my sweaty forehead. They are the best parents in the world. They sat in there with me while we ate our dinner, never neglecting the fact that they told me to think of this well. I guess it will take me time to do so. It's matter-of-factly, a serious and tough decision to make.

I went to the shower right after the very heartwarming dinner my parents and I shared.

I do loved the both of the guys. But when I learned that Joshua is also into another individual, which turns out to be a chick. (Yeah, a chick. She has a vagina and not a pair of balls!) And I heard her name was Ann, the beautiful petite girl with the amazing skills on playing the guitar. It hurt me a bit. I feel cheated on. I loved him that much. 

On the other hand, Miguel took care of me every single day I would receive his messages throughout the day telling me to take care. To be happy. And how much he adored my laugh. And how he wouldn't afford to lose me. I loved this guy too. He's my support system. My oxygen.

I HAVE TO CHOOSE. I have to even if Miguel and Joshua are perfectly in good terms and never thought of getting my "YES" a competition.

Tomorrow will be the last day of our annual intramurals. And Miguel has a game in lawn tennis in which he asked me to come and watch. Joshua, having to kneel AGAIN to beg for my presence in his father's bar, made me squeak like a chicken inside my brain. He's playing tomorrow night and can you imagine how hot would he look like if he's with a guitar singing romantic songs to the crowd?

"BAKIT DI MO SILA PATULANG DALAWA? BOYxBOYxBOY. Para mas intense diba? Tanggap naman kayo sa school natin!" sigaw ko sa tenga niya.

Tumayo siya saka ako inalog-alog. "KAILANGAN BANG SUMIGAW?!" Sigaw din niya sa tenga ko.

"Okay. Okay. Do you think it's sexy to have two guys as your boyfriend. Mag-e-enjoy din mga yun." Tapos natameme siya. Nag-iisip siguro. Fangirl nga pala ako. At walang kaalam-alam si Nicko na presidente ako ng mga fans club niya.

"No way! Watch me." Then he walked away. Kakapanalo lang ni Miguel sa Tennis. Champion nanaman siya ngayong year na to.

*Nicko's [omeegod] POV*

I slammed Miguel on the wall behind him. "Look, I just wanted to congratulate you for winning. And thanks for making me feel loved. Miguel, it's Joshua that I have feelings for. I sure do have some for you but I guess we are better friends."

He stopped and stared at me with an open mouth. Eyes twinkling with tears. "Ano? Ano ulit?"

"Miguel, mahal ko si Joshua." I snapped at him.

When he was about to sit and break down on the floor, hinila ko siya patayo at niyakap. Then I saw a shadow hovering on the doorway. 

"Cheap mo pare!" Sigaw ni Joshua. He's standing at the door. He was smiling but tears are streaming down on his angelic face.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa kanya at niyakap ko ng mahigpit. He rested his head on my shoulder as his body shook violently from crying.

"Sinubukan ko lang namang lumaban. Alam ko namang hindi ka sa akin mahuhulog. Alam ko namang hindi ka mapapasaakin. Kaya sa mga oras na nilaan mo para ilahad ko sayo ang nararamdaman ko, nagpapasalamat ako. Sana maging masaya kayo." Joshua said. He turned his back and before he started to walk away, I grabbed his hand.

I wiped his tears away and hugged him. "Are you that pathetic? Of course I love you. That's why I'm your boyfriend. Right here. Right Now."
