Twin Hearts

Chapter 12

KATHRYN'S POV:

"YOU... Y-you like me?"

"Yeah. Matagal na."

"Why? How?... When?"

"Iisa-isahin mo ba talaga lahat ng basic questions?"

His boyish rin. Waaah.

"H-hindi.. I mean, what do you mean na 'matagal na'? Pano nangyari yon? Hindi mo naman ako pinapansin.."

"Because i don't want to have a crush on you."

...

"Kasi parang ang hirap mong abutin."

"Hindi kaya!"

"I know. Well, i just realized that when you joined Campus Darling.. when you won and when you joined the group."

"Pero bakit ang suplado mo pa rin sa kin? At lagi mo kong sinusungitan?"

"Because i want you to understand what i do. You see, the org is my life. And if you will be my girlfriend, gusto ko mahal mo din yung ginagawa ko."

My heart did a cartwheel that moment. And got back again. Oh my.

"Girlfriend? Eh hindi mo naman ako nililigawan."

"I have plans, you know."

"And confident ka naman na sasagutin talaga kita?"

"Because i'll do anything."

Short silence.

"Seryoso ka ba?"

"Do i look like i'm joking?"

...

...

"Seryoso ka nga."

"I told you."

His lively smile... finally!

"Can you ask me if i want to be your girlfriend?"

"Now?"

"Now. Go, ask."

"Uh.. Will you be my girlfriend, Kathryn?"

Until now, i still feel the change of tempo of my heartbeat after he actually said that. Gaaahd.

"What? You let me ask you then you'll -"

"Yes!"

"What? Yes?"

"Yes, i want to be your girlfriend! Matagal na!"

...

...

"Huh? Paano... Kailan pa?"

"Ay nako ha, mamaya ka na nga magtanong. Paulit-ulit na tayo dito eh!"

HAY. I still can't believe that this man, standing in front of us, facilitating this execomm meeting, is my boyfriend - my boyfriend for one week now. OH-MY-GOSH. Can somebody pinch me? Nagflashback nanaman yung usapan namin nung madaling-araw na sinagot ko sya, and yes, wala akong maintindihan sa meeting na 'to. As in, wala.
