Broken Promises (MayWard) - Completed

Chapter 31

Edward's POV
× × ×

I already texted​ her goodnight about thirty minutes ago when I decided to sleep but until now, I can't sleep. Whenever the fact that we're together already hits my mind, I smile. Who wouldn't anyway? I'm so happy today!

By the way, I haven't closed a portion of my window curtain so that I can still see her on the other side when she lights up her room. I'm on my bed now and I'm​ still hoping for her reply. There's a chance she's already asleep but I really do hope wag muna. I want to receive a reply from her so bad!

Few minutes passed, she turned on her led lights. She'll probably go to sleep now 'cause those are what she uses during bedtime. I stood up quickly to have a peek from my window, hiding behind the curtain and I saw her combing her hair. What a lovely view!

She got her phone and sat on her bed. I wonder why she's smiling. Was that my message? Waaaahhh! I hope so. If I'd probably confirm that it was my message she's smiling for, I'd be crazy. Hooo!

Suddenly, my phone beeped. Sana it's from her! I reached my phone on the table beside my bed and quickly opened the messages. The first one came from a new number. Who's this?

Congrats, bro. Sinabi niya sakin. Oy usapan natin ah?! Kinikilig kapatid ko brad! Iba ka! - Nikko pogi

Wait. What!? Is this true!?

I grabbed a pillow and covered my face with it.  It's​ stupid but I don't know why I did that! I can't stop smiling anymore. Ugh! I hugged the pillow tightly, a thing I never ever did before. That's weird.

Okay, so, she told Kuya Nikko about it! Cool! I never actually expected anything like that. I thought we'd be pretending again so it's really a great news knowing that. What's even more cool is that Kuya was the one who told me that! Whoa. I must've done a fine move.

And yeah! He said she's kinikilig! What an awesome word. Whoa. I hope I'd be able to see her react to me like that. She always hides it kasi so I'm aiming to see that in my own eyes. I want to make her feel that everytime!

That's so cool! Thanks Kuya. This day's one of the best, really. Unbelievable!

I replied to him. It's​ really nice that I'm close now to that one person whom I know would help me a lot about her. Kuya Nikko has always been her confidant ever since. All of our petty fights, Kuya knows. Secrets too, so no doubt why she shared to him right away.

I was excited to see the other message and I'm hoping it's from Maymay this time. Although I was happy reading that message from Kuya Nikko already, it's still best to receive Maymay's text. So yeah, it's from Maymay! Hoo! Wait. I need some air. I might just collapse here. Whatever it is, let me see.

I love you too, baby!

Oh. Wait. Uhm. Oh God.

That's her message!? Baby!? What the!? To be honest, I hate that call sign but seeing that after those three meaningful words - wow. Just wow! Well now, it's freaking cute. I'd be loving it from now on. Screw what I thought before!

Wow, she just called me 'baby.' If that would be another person, I'd surely be offended. But nahhh! Who the heck cares!?Basta, I'm Maymay's baby now. Tsss. I stood up from my bed and leaned back on my door still looking at the same four words she sent me. I went on to the corner of my room pa and sat down. Hey! What am I even doing!? Hala.

I walked around the room being all this happy and I'm sure if someone would see me, they'd tag me crazy. Like, who smiles around and doesn't know what to do?! Ugh, Maymay, you drive me crazy for real!
