isay's innocent love

chapter 6: romance? kakilig! :)

            Alyssa smiled as she saw a piece of chocolate bar on her desk. She looked around. David was nowhere to be seen but she is so damn sure that David was responsible for this. Everyday for the past month, David has been secretly stashing pieces of chocolate in her desk, her library spot, in her bag, and even in her locker. Kapag wala naman siya sa campus ay nagpapadeliver ito sa kanya ng chocolate sa bahay niya. Akala nga ng mama niya ay manliligaw na niya ang binata. Natatawa na lang tuloy siya sa kakainsist na magkaibigan lang sila.

            She had honestly judged David wrong. Dati akala niya, parang hipon si david. That means na iyong katawan lang ang hahabulin mo since macho nga ito and super gwapo and super heartthrob and magaling magbasketball. Iyon pala ay matalino ito and not just that, despite ng mga pagiging pilyo nito, she finds him as a real gentleman. And kahit sa kabila ng mga pangugulit at pang-aasar nito (na almost adorable na for her) ay nagpapakita ito sa kanya ng kabaitan at kakaibang sweetness. She loves being David’s friend. Heck. She thinks, with him, maybe she’ll be willing to be in a relationship again. Alyssa gasped at her newly found realization. She’s willing to be David’s girlfriend despite his history of pagiging chickboy? Alyssa wanted to laugh at the irony of the situation. She is just recovering from the pain from an infidelity of his ex-boyfriend and here she is thinking of the possibility of being together with a notorious chickboy. But infairness to David, he is single right now. As Alyssa can remember, David has not been in a relationship or in a fling lately. Maybe he is lying low or he realized he needs to be serious in life. Wow. Biglang napabilib si Alyssa. People change. And maybe David has changed for the better. Maybe he had stopped breaking girl’s hearts. That is adorable.

            Alyssa smiled as she saw David coming. Hinila nito ang isang upuan at idinikit sa kinauupuan niya pagkatapos ay komportableng umupo. “hello. Pretty.”, nakangiting bati ng binata.

            Saglit na humaba ang nguso ni Alyssa sa pagbati nito. Hindi niya mafeel na pretty siya ngayon. Inirapan niya ang binata. “pretty ka diyan. Ako na naman nakita mo.”, reklamo niya pero hindi rin naman niya napigilan ang ngumiti. Kinuha niya ang chocolate na nakapatong sa kanyang desk at sinimulang tanggalan ng balat iyon. “thank you ulit sa chocolate. Ayaw mo talaga akong tigilan ha.”, pasasalamat niya then she took a bite.

            “Anything to keep you happy my lady.”, he answered and mocked a vow. Pagkatapos ay naglabas ito ng bottled water mula sa bag at inabot sa kay Alyssa. Para na siyang boy scout nito. A buttler perhaps would be a better word.

            “hmm.”, Alyssa uttered habang ninanamnam ang chocolate and ang pagtrato nito sa kanya like she was a princess. “I’ll be happy with my hormones but not with my body. Pinapataba mo ata ako ng bongga eh.”, she said hinawakan pa niya ang tiyan.

            David laughed softly. “ikaw tataba dahil lang sa chocolate na yan? Nakita kitang halos ubusin ang halos kalahati ng family pan pizza at nagrereklamo kang ikatataba mo yan? Eh wala ngang epekto sa iyo ang pizza eh!”, David teased her. “cholesterol.. cholesterol.. at wag mong itanggi. Sabi ni Diane, sinasabaw mo daw ang mantika sa kanin! Cholesterol.” Tukso pa nito.

            Natatawang tinampal ni Alyssa ang braso ni David. “shut up! Hindi ko kaya inubos iyon! Ikaw kaya ang maraming kinain.”, she insisted. Then she winced nang maalala niya kung gaano siya kumain. “okay fine. So magana ako kumain ng pizza. At fine… sinasabaw ko ung chicken oil kapag nasa mang inasal ako. Masarap kaya! Try mo kasi.”, pag-amin niya na ikinatawa naman ni David. “Pero loko ka! Dinagdagan mo pa ng chocolate! Magiging lumba lumba na ako niyan. Baka mahirapan na akong magkaboyfriend ulit niyan.”, she said.

            “sexy ka naman ah! And kahit maging lumba lumba ka, I bet a lot of guys will fall in line just to have a chance with you. Hindi lang naman ang figure mo ang kahangahanga sa iyo.”, David pointed out.
