The Triangle

Chapter 9: Compromise

*Allanah's POV*

Para akong naiputan ng Ibong Adarna. "HaruyJoskungLalakiTu". Anung kulam ang inihip nito sakin. I can't find my voice to yell at him. This is so not me. I'm not being used to people trying to manipulate me. Am I this vulnerable? For Pete's sake, Allanah, there just empty words. My mind is really having a hard time from pulling me out of being delusional. But, I just can't take my eyes off my phone. I really want to get it.

"Stop Allanah! Stop being a lousy girl. It's not the phone you want, it's Him! Jesus! WAKE UP?!" sabi nung maliit na boses sa utak ko na nakapukaw talaga ng katawang lupa ko at nahimasmasan sa deliryong kinakaharap ng aking buong katauhan. I managed to break that contact when he start talking with his normal voice. "Thanks God! It's not that sexy bedroom voice he used a while ago!" piping pasasalamat ko. Baka kasi maengkanto naman ako for the second time.

"Hey? Do you want your phone or not? parang naiinis pa siya habang sinasabi yun.

"Of Course! Kailangan ba talagang may kapalit?", parang tanga lang ako dahil yung boses na lumabas sa pagkakasabi ku nun ay sobrang liit talaga. Waaaaaa?! Naeengkanto na naman ako.

"Nothing can change my mind. Leave it I keep your phone. Take it, you'll have it back. You will only be my co-bu." he said amusely.

"What? Co-bu? Earthspeak Po? sabi kong sobrang nacurious talaga.

"Communication Buddy? So! Deal or Deal? with matching actions pa. "Baliw much talaga. In normal situations, I'll be shouting at him already pero kasi under unknown spell pa ako, I'm just way too nice". Napaisip ako.

"DEAL!" Sabay hablot ng phone and try not to look at him. But, I swear, I saw how devilish his grin was after hearing my answer.

Ghaddd!! Anung gulo tung pinasok ko. While I was lost on my thoughts, I noticed people started to focus on the big screen.  Thanks God! Nagsimula na rin yung movie. At effective ngang stress-reliever. Nakalimutan ko lahat ng iniisip ko ng dahil sa oozing hotness ni Andrew Garfield.

Nang matapos ang movie, ang laki-laki ng smile ko. I really enjoyed watching kahit mag-isa lang ako. Ang saya-saya ko. Ayan na naman si mood swing pero okay lang. I had a great time. Tatayo na sana ako ng makita kong may taong nakatayo sa harapan ko. Eh sino pa nga ba? Eh di si "Nang-eengkanto". Di ko alam name eh? Sorry.

"Elijah Rocen Guzman nga pala". Sabay abot ng hands niya.

Mind reader ba tu? Jusko! Engkanto nga yata tu. "Save me God from this unknown substance please". Mag-sa sign of the cross pa sana ako ng muling magsalita ito.

"Your easy to read kaya wag kanang magtaka. I can't read mind that's for sure but I can easily see through you based on your expression. So, what's your name?"

Binaba niya nalang yung kamay niya kasi alam niya naman siguro na wala akong balak hawakan yun. Im just taking caution, mahirap ng mamaligno uli.

"Allanah Laye Arguelles". Pagpapakilala ko para makauwi na. Alam ko kung pano ka persistent tung isang tu.

"Nice name. Just don't forget our compromise ok? I'll be texting you when I got home. Make sure you'll keep your word huh? Goodbye, Allanah Laye."

Mga isang linggo na nung nakilala ko si Elijah. And we became constant "CO-BU". He is so much fun to talk with. I am comfortable with him already even we only met once. I can't get him out of mind. He kept on nagging my senses. I know it may sound bad but I think he had gain a special part on my heart. Sa madaling sabi, CRUSH KO NA SI MR. POGI NA NAGNGANGALANG ELIJAH. Ayan na inamin ko na. Waaa?! Nagba-blush na naman ako sa tuwing maiisip ko siya. BELL! Mabuti na lang at pasukan na bukas. Magkakaroon na ako ng distraction at excited na akong makasama yung mga Baboy kong kaibigan at magkwento ng Crush Life ko?

N/N: Eto na! So excited for the update of next chaapterss <3
