In a Relationship with Dashed (Completed)

C33: Seeing Dashed with Other Girl.

33: Seeing Dashed with Other Girl

"Sabay ba kayo ulit ni Dashed mamayang lunch?" Teegan asked as we walked past the stairs. We're heading back to our room now after our one-hour break. "May nabalitaan kasi akong pupunta raw ang basketball team ng St. Benilde dito sa school mamaya for a tune-up game against our team, e."

"Really?" I asked in awe. "We should watch, then!"

I've been wanting to watch Dashed play for a long time! Of course, gusto kong malaman kung gaano ba talaga siya kagaling magshoot at magdribble sa loob ng court!

"'Di sinabi ng jowa mo sayo?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe he's planning to tell me during lunch."

"Wait. Hindi kayo sabay pumasok kanina?" she asked it as if something totally perplexed her mind.

"Nah, he had to stop by somewhere bago siya pumasok kaya nauna na ako sa kanya."

"Oh, God. I thought... ikaw 'yong kasama niyang babae kanina sa loob ng sasakyan niya?" my brows furrowed when she said that. "Oh my, couz! Who was that? I even saw him kiss the girl on the forehead before she got out of the car! You sure... na hindi ikaw 'yon? 'Di ko kasi masyadong naaninag iyong mukha non kasi medyo tinted 'yung sasakyan, e!"

No.

I'm more than sure it wasn't me.

"O-Oh, maybe it was just his sister?" I stopped midsentence to convince myself and shake the negative thoughts. "Come on, Teegan, it's not good to accuse him without any proof."

I chew my lower lip because to tell you the truth, parang nanikip ang dibdib ko sa sinabi niya. But I'm trying hard not to show my true feelings.

Bakit ba ako nasasaktan?

In fact, I should be happy, right? Kasi kapag meron na siyang ibang natitipuhan... it would only mean one thing— hindi na namin kailangan magpanggap.

"But I'm pretty sure that Dashea CDG wouldn't act like that, though..." Teegan frowned at me.

I composed myself and heaved a deep sigh. "Doubts are no good in our life. If I doubt him without knowing his side, we won't be able to meet halfway," then I shook my head. "Ayokong pagduduhan siya considering all the good things he's done for me."

Sa sinabi ko, mabilisang nag-iba 'yong pinta ng mukha niya.

"Oh my, goodness, Bronwyn! Dalaga ka na talaga!" then she enthusiastically clung to my arm. Ngiting-ngiti siya habang kunot na kunot naman 'yong noo ko. What does what I said have to do with what she said? Mukhang nabasa niya 'yon kaya inirapan niya ako. "Duh! You weren't like this with your exes kaya, diba?! You always make kwento kung ano'ng nangyayari sa inyo ng mga ka-on mo! Pero, gosh! This is way different! I could tell na your relationship with Dashed is totally different from your past relationships!"

And then out of nowhere, biglang pumasok sa isipan ko ang mga halikan namin ni Dashed.

What the hell, Bronwyn. Out of all the memories you shared with hin?

Really? Iyon pa talaga ang naalala mo?

But... can you blame me, tho? His lips are so soft! And they taste like mint candy.

Like they're begging to be bitten...

"Hala! Bakit ang pula ng mukha mo?! May tinatago ka, no? Naghug na ba kayo?! Nagkiss?!" I felt Teegan's finger poking my waist. That's when a big smile formed on my lips, making her squeal like crazy. "Ang landi mo, couz!"

Alam kong sa nakita niyang reaction sa mukha ko, nakuha niya na 'yong sagot.

"Tumahimik ka nga d'yan, Teegan. Baka may makarinig pa sa'yo." halos mapanguso na ako sa pagpipigil ng ngiti.

I want to sound angry but I can't do that when there's a bright smile forming on my lips!

"Asus! Kinikilig ka lang, e!" she teased while continuing to poke my side. ""How does he taste, couz? What does his lips taste like? Geez!  Ang bait mo naman talaga! Ikaw ang tumutupad sa mga pangarap ko!" tapos ay humalakhak siya. "Pero shit, couz! Baka naman mabigla na lang ako na sa isang araw, juntis ka na ah! Jusko! Ang pangarap na sperm cell ng bawat kababaihan sa De La Carida ay makakamtam mo na! I'm so proud of you, my dear cousin!"

I threw her an odd look. Binilisan ko ang lakad ko at iniwan siyang humahagikgik doon. Gosh! She's so crazy to think about that!

Ako? Mabubuntis sa taong hindi ko naman talaga boyfriend? Heck! No way! Never ever! And how many times do I have to tell her na ambata pa namin masyado para gawin 'yun?!

Ugh. Teegan's frustrating the hell out of me!

Mabilis na natapos ang mga morning classes namin. I was out of space. Hindi nga ako makapagconcentrate sa totoo lang. Lalo na noong last period na. I was waiting for a text from Dashed. But I didn't receive a single text. I'm second-guessing whether I should go to the gym now to watch their game. But since he didn't inform me, he probably doesn't want me to come.

Maybe... maybe he doesn't want me to watch him play, right?

I should get the thought.

"Teegan... 'wag na kaya tayong tumuloy?" hinawakan ko ang dulo ng blazer niya, kinakabahan. "Let's just eat at the café..."

She raised her eyebrows. "Hello? Suportahan mo naman ang boyfriend mo, ano ka ba! Are you going to let the screams of the girls who swoon over him get to you? Huh! Syempre, hindi! If I were you, mas gugustuhin ko pang mapaos sa kachi-cheer sa isang tulad ni Dashed kaysa naman busog ka nga sa pagkain, pero hindi mo naman naipakita kung gaano ka kaproud maging girlfriend ng isang katulad niya!"

And it hit me. She had a point. I'm Dashed's girlfriend so I should at least show him some support for his passion.

Inayos ko ang postura ko and internally cheered for myself.

You can do this, Bronywn. Act as a girlfriend. May karapatan ka. Tandaan mo, may karapatan ka.

But when I turned my head, my whole world stopped nang makita ko siya... sila.

Si Dashed.

May kasamang ibang... babae.

Posible bang madurog ang puso mo sa isang iglap lang?

@DashedCDG: I can't lose her but I have to do this. Dashléy's right. I'm such an asshole.
