My ex-boyfriend is here. Frederick Thornton is really here, beside me. And he brought some fruits which we used to eat back then when we are still together. Why do he need to come back? Why now? The pang in my head. It hurts. It hurts so much. I cried in the middle of pain. Bakit ngayon pa? Kung kailan masaya na kami? Kung kailan masaya na ang lahat? Bakit kailangan pa niyang magpakita?
"You okay, Lex?" of course, I'll never be. Dahil bumalik ka. Bakit, Frederick? Bakit kinailangan mo pa na bumalik? Ha? Unti-unti kong naaalala lahat. Lahat ng sakit.
"W-why are you here?" mahina kong sabi. Naguguluhan na talaga ako. Damn you, Thornton.
"Para sayo." para sa akin? Gusto ko siyang bugbugin. Tinapos mo nang lahat. You just freakin' left me hanging. Iniwan mo akong mag-isa. Iniwan mo akong luhaan ng gabing iyon. Pero nagpapasalamat ako kay Alejo dahil he comforted me that night. He even handed me his hanky and let me cry on his shoulder. Like, I was a kid who just lost her only lollipop and cried a lot.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito, Frederick? Tapos na tayo at wala ka ng dahilan pa para bumalik para sa akin. Masaya na ako sa buhay ko ngayon! Masaya na ako kay Glencoe!" singhal ko. Masaya ba talaga ako? Oo, syempre. Mahal ko si Alejo. Mahal na mahal. Pero ibang-iba pa rin ang dating ni Frederick sa akin. Parang gustong bumalik lahat ng nararamdaman ko sa kanya, katulad noong una. Gusto ko siyang yakapin. Gusto kong sabihin na miss na miss ko na siya. Pero alam ko na mali ito. Kahit na alam kong dapat ko siyang pinagsusuntok ngayon. The hell, I wanna kick his ass off. Pero iba ang nasa isip ko. I still want to kiss his cheeks and hug him tightly. What's happening, Alexia? What are you doing? May boyfriend ka! Mali 'to. But instead of answering my freaking question, he just kissed me on my lips and found myself pushing him away. Pero hindi siya natinag. What is he doing? This isn't right. Oh, God! Thornton! I pushed him away with all my strength. At bumitaw na siya. Hindi 'to tama. I have Alejo already.
"I'm sorry," he uttered. No, I should be the one saying sorry here. Saying sorry to Alejo. This is hella bad.
"Why do you need to come back, T-thornton? W-why?" I almost lost my voice. Alejo, where are you? I need you now. And a three knocks went out. I hope that this is Alejo. Oh, please? Let it be, Glencoe.
"Baby? I'm sorry it took so long. I was stucked on traff-" and he stopped. When he just saw Frederick sitting beside me.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?! AND WHO TOLD YOU TO GO MY GIRLFRIEND'S ROOM?! YOU REALLY WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU, HUH?!" uh-oh! I smell trouble here. Bakit ba kasi pupunta-punta pa 'to dito eh? And he even kissed me a while ago. How dare he! Dammit! This is getting really bad.
"Look, Alejo. I just visited, Lexie. And brought her some fruits. That's it. I don't have any intention of getting her from you. I'm going." so what's with that freakin' kiss earlier? Ugh. They are all torturing me! Alexia, stop those thoughts!
"Just make sure that you didn't touch her or else," galit na talaga si Alejo.
"I didn't caressed her body but I kissed her on her lips. And I think she enjoyed it. She even deepen it." he smirked. Alejo frowned. Oh my God! What the hell was his problem? I didn't even enjoyed it. Curse you, Fred!
"Totoo ba, Alexia?" may halong kaba ko siyang tinignan. Seryoso siya.
"NO! Yes, he kissed me and I pushed him away. That's all." mahina kong sabi.
"HAHAHAHA! I got you there, Lex! HAHAHAHA!" nakakainis na tawa ni Frederick. At lumabas ng kwarto. Ano bang problema nito? Bigla akong nilapitan ni Alejo and touched my left cheek. He seemed to be frustrated. Nahulog pa niya 'yong mga dala niyang pagkain.
"Baby? He forced you, right? Wala na ba siyang ibang ginawa? Sinaktan ka ba? I'm sorry, ang tagal ko." why is it that he's always sweet? Like this?
"I'm okay. Wala naman siyang ginawa sa akin." matamlay kong sambit. At kinuha na niya ang nahulog niyang paper bags.
"Here's your lasagna. Sorry for making you wait. It's just y-" I cut him off.
"No need to say sorry. Ako nga dapat 'tong nag-sosorry kasi I let that Frederick enter my room. And... " sabi ko.
"It's just a kiss, baby. You're still mine. At ang importante, okay ka." and a curve formed on his damn perfect lips. Alejo get some tissues ang wiped my lips. As if a germ was emplaced in there. I giggle. He's so cute.
"There! I can now kiss you, can't I?" why is everbody kissing me? I'm not even a toy to be played with. At aangal pa sana ako nang lumapit na si Alejo at hinalikan ako ng marahan. It was so slow and he moves softly as if he kisses a jewel. A precious one. I felt happiness and kissed him back. Naramdaman ko na ngumiti siya. And I also smiled. Ugh, this man. I really am lucky being with this jerk. That's why, I love him so much. Our kiss stay like 10 minutes, I think. I don't know I would enjoy that. Hmm, I can still feel his lips against mine.
"Now, you enjoyed mine?" I freakin' blushed. Bakit niya ko tinatanong? Ano nalang isasagot ko? Oo naman, sarap na sarap nga ako eh. Ganern? Ayoko. 'Di pwede. Act normal lang. Dapat galit.
"You kissing monster!" and looked at him furiously. If pwede ko lang siyang sakalin eh kanina ko pa ginawa.
"You're so cute when you get mad especially at me. Haha!" sabay pisil ng pisngi ko. Ano ako bata? Kung hindi ko lang talaga nagustuhan 'yong halik niya eh. At bigla ko na lang naalala 'yong kalokohan na ginawa niya sa akin kaina. Aba't may kasalanan pa pala ito sa akin. After he made a prank at me earlier, may gana pa siya humalik? Grr.
"CURSE YOU, GLENCOE!!! YOU JUST PRANKED ME A WHILE AGO AND YOU JUST FREAKED THE HELL OUT OF ME! HINDI MO BA ALAM NA NAG-ALALA AKO SA 'YO NG SOBRA? H--HALOS 'DI KO NA ALAM KUNG ANONG GAGAWIN K-KO PAGNAWALA K--KA!" and there goes my traitor tears. Keep on running on my cheeks. Lumapit si Alejo sa akin.
"Shhh, I'm sorry. 'Di ko naman sinasadya na i-prank ka. Stop crying. Sadyang namiss ko lang 'yong kakulitan mo, Alex. Namiss ko 'yong dating Alexia ko. Hindi ka na kasi masyadong masungit ngayon. Haha!" sabay pisil na naman ng pisngi ko. Masakit, ano ba?
"Hindi naman nakakatuwa 'yong ginawa mo!" and I frowned. Nakakainis kasi siya. Nagbago ba ako? Hindi naman yata, epekto lang siguro nitong sakit ko. Si Alexia Gilmore pa rin naman ito. Haha.
"Kaya sorry na ha? 'Di ko na uulitin, promise? Batukan mo ko if inulit ko." puno ng sincerity niyang sinabi. Tumango nalang ako.
"Heto na 'yong lasagna mo at milktea. Bumili na rin pala ako ng pizza. Hawaiian 'yan. Tapos, mga chocolates din. White na lang binili ko, wala na kasing dark na available eh. At tsaka, fries. And apples, oranges, at grapes. Tapos ano pa ba? Ay, oo. Binilhan kita ng flowers. Here, babe!" wtf, kaya pala ang tagal niya eh, ang dami niyang binili. Oh, Glencoe. Isang Glencoe ka nga. Isang bouquet ba naman ng red roses. Parang nanalo naman ako nito ng isang contest.
"Susubuan nalang kita, baby ah?"
