Anyways, thank you po for pointing it out. So from here on, balik tayo sa first person. Edit ko yung ibang chapters once I've completed this. So enjoy, guys!**

Jay's POV

So you might want to know when I ended up being stupid and started pursuing Dei. In a much brutal note, kelan ba ako nauntog at natauhan?

You see, if there is anything constant in my life, it would be Dei. Since lumipat kami ng bahay malapit sa kanila, we've been in each others lives. The usual friendship that starts with bullying. Tahimik lang kasi yan eh. Pag di mo pinikon, di kikibo. And I want her talking. Kasi nga ang cute. Lalo na pag inis na, ang pula ng mukha. Sarap kurutin.

I know. Since then, I'm already smitten. Tukmol nga siguro talaga ako. I haven't realized na those times it was not mere affection for a friend. That I actually like her as a girl.

Wait, natawa ako sa naalala ko. I remembered one time I asked her out to play basketball in the park. Uhm well, I haven't actually told her we'll play but given na kasi yun with us. Pag walang pasok, we would hang out sa park and play ball. Imagine the surprise I get when I saw her that day. Dei on a skirt, hair done, with a pink lipstick on her lips.

Natuliro ako.  Pero dinaan ko na lang sa biro.  I teased her so that she'll get pissed and change.  Maraming lalaki sa park. Baka mapa-away ako nang wala sa oras.  Yep, I am a possessive tukmol.  Pero ang ganda niya nung araw na yun. 

Time passed with us being the best of friends.  I became the varsity jock and she has been there all the time.  She said she's the wallflower to the heartthrob but I don't believe her.  She's more of the carnations I put up on a pedestal.  She's my steady rock.  My wanderwall.  Constant.  My bestfriend with my not so bestfriend feelings for her.

I had to live with those years struggling to keep my feelings for her show.  I treated her as my buddy.  Yes, I care for her always pero yung parang tropa lang.  I still bully her at times para consistent. 

Then time came na I can't take it anymore.  I distanced myself from her.  Inisip ko na baka pag hindi na kami palaging magkasama, mawawala rin yung feelings ko for her.  Na baka marealize ng puso ko na bestfriend lang naman talaga ang tingin ko sa kanya. I know I've hurt her during those times and hanggang ngayon ay pinagsisihan ko pa rin. 

So imagine my surprise when she confessed her feelings for me.  Alam mo yung slow mo sa mga pelikula?  Ganun yung nangyari sa akin nang moment na yun.  Di ako nakapag react masyado.  It came as a surprise.  And I ended up saying the wrong words.  At muntik na siyang mawala sa akin.  I know, tanga lang po talaga.

But I pursued her.  That I did.  After I came out of my shock and stupidity,  I laughed and laughed.  People at home asked me what the heck is happening because I'm laughing hysterically. Alone. Akala yata ng Daddy ko nabaliw na ako.  Masaya lang kasi mahal pala ako ng bestfriend ko na right at that moment narealize kong mahal ko rin pala.  Sino'ng di sasaya di ba?

Dei will not be Dei if she would easily just trust me back again nang ganun-ganon lang.  My girl is fierce kaya nga sinundan ko ng sinundan.  I even volunteered sa club nila during their out reach activity.  Inunahan ko na sa porma kasi nga may pumuporma, yung Allan ba yun?  I know I've sent Dei a message that day through my song.  Naikwento ko kasi sa kanya dati na if ever I'll dedicate a song to a girl I like, it will be 'Akin Ka Na Lang' by Itchyworms. 

At dahil mahal mo, sasamahan mo siya sa mga trip niya.  Books. Bonus na lang yung pareho pala kayo ng trip. Basketball.  So first date?  Bookfair and watch a basketball game live.  I know I made her happy that day.  And whatever makes her happy makes me happy too.  Cheesy ba?  Wala, in love eh.

And the rest they say is history. What? Bitin ba yung kwento? Hanggang dito na lang muna.  My girlfriend awaits.  Naglalambing.  Bili ko raw siya ng ramen.  And her prince is always to the rescue.

**Update! Yey! Overwhelming yung reads, like and comments.  Huhuh. Sobrang na appreciate ko po. I'll reply to all your comments, pramis!  Nababasa ko po lahat.  Thank you po.

So how is this for a chapter?  Tagal ko nang gustong gawan ng sariling chapter si Jay.  Nairaos ko rin.  Hahah.

Last two minutes na yung title so one more chapter na lang ba? Sa tingin niyo? 😁

Happy reading, everyone! Pa star kayo ha? 🤗
