When he said that line, my heart couldn't even beat faster any longer. The air that I'm breathing couldn't suffice what've been feeling right now.
Sa sobrang kilig ay pakiramdam ko ay sasabog na sa tuwa at galak. If only he knew that I'm more than happy right now.
"Why are you doing this all Ricci?"
" Tinatanong pa ba yan? You know, ever since I met you, I've come to like you."
Really? Kailan ba? Noong nasa resort pa kami? I, don't know what to say. I smiled at him and held him even tighter.
"Ricci, I don't know how to start this but, thank you, really. Thank you for making me feel so special and loved right now. Thank you for making an effort to do all this. I really appreciate it, and I think, this is the right time to tell you this...."
I looked at him intently, feeling the cold breeze of the night, seeing the city lights as our background and of course, his eyes, oh how lovely they are! His lips turned into a cutie pout, I think he's just stopping himself not to smile but I can see right through me that he's actually smiling.
"I like you, Ricci. I've been feeling this since I don't know when. And this time, I don't want to waste any minute as how much I really like you. You know, I've never felt this for anyone not until I met you. It's hard to believe but it's true."
Halos hindi na ako makatingin sa kanya ng maayos. To think that I've just confessed to her makes my tummy go upside down. Nakakahiya jusko! Ngayon lang ako magconfess ng ganito and this is my first time!
I felt my cheeks heaten up when he touched my chin and lift it up so we can see each other's face. I leveled my sight to him, so as he. He smiled and everything followed as a ray of sunshine for me. He's the star that shines brightly even in the daylight.
"I guess, the feeling is mutual?" He chuckled a bit and became serious afterwards.
"I am afraid to ask you this but I'll ask you anyway."
Kinabahan ako sa sinabi niya ngunit mas nangingibabaw ang kuryosidad sa kung ano ang sasabihin niya.
"Ngayon ka pa nahiya?" Pang-aasar ko at natawa nalang kaming dalawa.
"Alright. Alright!"
"Maddy, can I court you?"
I've never beed courted by anyone. What am I suppose to say?
"I- yes! of course!" Mahina kong sambit ngunit sapat lang para marinig niya. The beating of my heart gets faster again. Hindi na ata ako masasanay na ganito ang nangyayari sa sistema ko everytime I got too close to Ricci.
He hugged me tight and thank me for saying yes. Sino ba naman ang hihindu kung isang Ricci Rivero na ang nanligaw? Ahhh! This moment with him so far is the best I've experienced. How I love this man!
"Wala nang bawian hah? You said yes and I'll make sure that you'll never regret this night."
"Talaga lang huh?"
"Hindi ka naniniwala? Eh kung halikan kaya kita dya?"
"Oh, no no no! Ibang usapan na yan Cci! Walang ganyanan!"
And after that he chased like and I ran like hell not to be caught. We laughed until we felt the tireness on our body.
I sat on the grass so was he. We looked at the city lights in front of me and we buried ourselves to the calmness and coldness of the night.
"The day after tomorrow would be our first day of school. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. To be honest, I'm looking forward to just head straight to the library and read. Wala naman akong balak mamasyal sa University"
"Yeah right, the typical Maddison I met always wanted to be locked up in a library where she can read a book peacefully."
"I'm gald you know that." I smiled at him, he probably asked my twin about it or he just noticed it.
"Naaah, basta tungkol sa'yo. Ako pa ba?" He smiled widely and returned his gaze in front of us.
"I wish we could be like this" He said unknowingly. I looked at him but still looking straight.
" But we can't"
"Yeah, we can't but I have this feeling that we can always do this bond in no time soon. I just wish that our game won't be ang hindrance om seeing you."
"It's alright. Its as if were on a relationship diba?"
"Malapit na Maddy. I know, you'll fall for me hard and deep that even you can't save yourself from drowning on me." He said confidently.
Tignan mo nga naman ito! Hindi parin nawalaa ang kahanginan sa katawan ng lalaking ito.
Nakakapagtakang kahit ang dating sa akin ay nakakakilig na nakakainis ay gustong-gusto ko. I heard before that he's a player. Not the player type of a guy na paglalaruan ang feelings mo kundi basketball player. Kailan ko lang din nalaman eh kung hindi ko lang inistalk. Oo, iniistalk ko siya. Hindi ko naman kasi maiwasang huwag mangalap ng impormasyon sa kanya, kaya heto ako ngayon, may kakaonting nalalaman sa kanya.
Funny isn't it? Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na kahit hindi kagandahan ang una naming pagtatagpo ay eventually nakilala ko ang totoong siya. Now, my life changed because of this guy and I am looking forward on how this change would bring. Though alam kong bago palang ito, sisiguraduhin kong totoo ang lahat ng feelings na ipaparamdam ko sa kanya.
I do not have to hide it anymore nor ne ashamed of it. I am sure of it, the love I'm feeling towards him. I just hope that everything will go in places. I do not want this feeling to stop. I want this feeling goes on till I ran out of time because this time even if I'm knew to this, I know my heart belongs to Ricci and Ricci alone.

Sending my love to all of you :*
