10 YEARS AFTER...
"BES. Stop—"
"No, I insist. For the last time, I'll help you with every thing, okay? Please take my models. Please?" Nakangising pakiusap ni Bes sakin.
I smiled sheepishly, "Bes naman e. Nakakahiya na sayo. Yeah, I need models but from you?" I gave her a gross face, "Yuck." I laughed so hard at her face.
"Aba, ang arte pa." Tumatawa rin sya sabay hampas.
"Hahaha. Joke lang po." I wrap my arms around her tightly. "This is too much. Thank you so much Hans." I sigh, closing my eyes.
"Sure. Anything for my bestfriend." I felt she smiled after hugging me back.
How I got a successful friend like her, I won't share. Haha. She was the best friend I could ever had. Why, I couldn't change her anything in this world—
"Am I missing a sandwich hug here?"
My trail of thoughts were cut off as some dork interrupted. I just rolled my eyes as a smiled was crept in the corner of my lips.
Both of us turned our heads to the one who cleared his throat the second time around. Hans and I just giggled.
A serious, notorious, gorgeous guy alive is standing in front of us. Both hands in his pockets, a sweet grin was flashed before our eyes. Now, who would think a Kyle Marion Montes will be close-friends with us?
Heck, BESTFRIENDS!
And I, still remember the time we started as friends. FOR REAL.
...
Umiiyak pa rin ako. For all I thought I was fine already! Tell me, will you be fine hearing your Dad will be marrying in three months without even consulting you?!
Curse them.
"Ano ba yan, si Zeanna ba yan? Umiiyak? Stop it." Marion lift my chin up but I looked away. Still holding me by my shoulder with his other hand, he smiled at me.
"Stop reminding me about Gretel. About myself." I lift my gaze in his face. "You're not weak. In fact, you're the only girl who talked to me like that last night. You could tear me up in pieces if you really want to." He chuckled.
This guy. He doesn't even know what he's doing to me. Does he even know what would I feel after we're going back to our houses?
I was surprised when he brushed some of my tears. I was ashamed of myself for a while but why is he doing this to me?
"I really hate seeing tears. Promise me the last time I will see you overflowing with sticky tears will be today." He even laughed causing me to blush a little. His breath fans my face in every word he says.
I never got to say any word until, "But for now, come here." He enveloped me with a hug. His arms around me tightening for security and safety. "You don't know about a bestfriend's love. Your Dad love his bestfriend and you're too blind to see it, Z.
And I, I apologized for what I've done last night—or the other night—"
"It's okay" I whispered, suddenly feeling a little sleepy after last night without having any sleep. And now that I'm with him, I just want to feel safe forever.
"It's not,Z." He just gave me a nickname. "I'm sorry. But can we at least be friends?"
It was the best thing I've heard. After I closed my eyes, I nod and after the crying I had through, I drifted to sleep. Right in his arms.
...
Sabi nga nila, if a boy comforts a girl, she'll easily fall in love with him. I know it's true.
Many things had been counted with that guy.
Just right after Dad and Zara's wedding, I closed my walls down but it's him who just stayed. And I couldn't thank him enough.
I cursed right at him, wished I never met a guy like him, embarrass him, and forced myself, my heart just to not love him.
And I just failed big time.
I just lose this game.
"Are you deaf?" He chuckled, "I said we need to go. Gretel's waiting." His playful eyes sparkled like the way it used to before.
I snapped in reality. Wait, this is real. He's here! Kanina pa Zeanna! Gaga.
"Ah. Sorry." I smiled sheepishly. Tanga. "Kanina pa naghihintay si Gretel? Maaga pa a." I looked at my watch. Palusot.com.
"Tara na." I smiled again and he just gave me a chuckle, shaking his head in amusement.
We bid goodbye to Hansel and she just tease me with that look. Gahh. Anyway, she was happily engaged with Neil already.
Long story.
But you know what hurts me the most here? Truth. The painful truth that he won't love me like the way I love him. And that he loves Gretel all along.
I am only a bestfriend to him.
Nothing more, nothing less.
What gives? I can't change anything here. If he was happy, I'll let him be. I know I'll be happy someday too.
"You okay?" He glanced at me while driving. He looked concern. "What were you thinking?"
You. But sure thing, I don't want him to know that. "Nothing." I gave my sweet smile. "Just thinking how to make you fall in love with me in a split second." I winked at him with a tease.
"Oh no." He act like Cupid shot his heart with an arrow and laughed so hard.
Dork.
And I love him.
