Change and Chances

Chapter 20 - Ring and Miss

I was in high spirits when I came back to class.

Not only that Aramis and I fixed the rift between us, he also walked me back to my my next sub even though he was already fifteen minutes late for his next class.

And before he left, may hinabilin pa sya.

"Mamaya pag tapos ng iyong klase daraanan kita, antayin mo ko." sabi nya.

"Okay." I replied. Bigla namang sumiryoso ang mukha nya, "What's wrong?"

"Huwag kang masyadong dumikit sa taong iyon." he answered in an irritated tone.

"Tao? Who? Si Chad?" I queried.

"Basta! Huwag kang dumikit sa kanya." he replied sounding defensive.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that, "We'll have a problem about that. He's my classmate in all of my subjects for this semester. Nasabi naman nila Max before na he's not the approachable type. Our classmates don't have any guts to talk to him and he doesn't talk to anyone but me."

"Hindi ko na problema iyon." he retorted making me laugh harder.

I don't know whether to take him seriously or not but, this side of Aramis is making me giddy and I really find it cute.

However, instead of giving him a reply, I then kissed him on the cheek to which obviously surprised him.

Yung kaninang seryosong mukha nya ay napalitan ng ngisi and because he couldn't really hide it, napakagat ito sa kaniyang labi and damn, that sight of him was seriously hot!

Dahil roon, pati ako ay naramdaman ko na rin ang pag-iinit ng aking mukha.

"Stop beaming, Aramis! It's getting embarrassing." Sabi ko rito at nag-iwas ako ng tingin.

Natawa naman ito, "Ikaw ang nagkusang humalik sa akin at hindi ko naman minamasama iyon. At lalong hindi ko mamasamain kahit na iyon ay iyong ulit-ulitin."

"Umalis ka na nga! Late ka na!" Sigaw ko na as I tried to push him away.

Mas lalo pa itong natawa sa pagtulak ko sa kanya hanggang sa nagulat nalang ako at niyakap ako nito ng mahigpit.

When he pulled away from the hug, inilapit nito ang kanyang mukha and I was sure that he would kiss me that moment.

However, Chad came at tinitigan kami sa paraang hindi namin mawari kung ano ang nasa isip nito kung kaya't agaran rin akong napabitaw kay Aramis.

My action made Aramis scoff and clench his jaw. I thought that he would begin throwing a fit but instead, huminga nalang ito ng malalim saka muling bumaling sakin,

"I'll see you after class, Honey." sabi nito. I was too fazed to even utter a word so, I just nodded my head in reply.

Nang akala ko ay aalis na ito, to my surprise, Aramis suddenly took my lips in front of Chad and a bunch of crowd. He didn't even gave me a chance to react, he just swiftly left me in that shocked state at binigyan ng huling tingin si Chad bago ito tuluyang umalis na parang wala itong ginawa.

I had to blink a couple of times just to check if that scene really happened. However, Chad just shook his head at me and smirked.

"You're welcome, Ashinyah." nakangisi pa ring sabi nito.

"What?" I queried in confusion.
