It wasn't love at first sight but she fell slowly, hard and deep. Who wouldn't? Ricci made her feel like she was the prettiest and most precious thing in this world. Will their love surpass it all?
This is my first ever Fan Fiction novel so yeah, pl...
For the past months, our relationship was nothing but bliss. It was smooth, gaya ng dati, wala namang naging problema sa amin dahil halos lahat ng mga kaibigan at team mates ni Ricci ay suportado kami, maging ang mga parents namin, actually. Minsan nga binibiro na ako ni Kuya Prince na hindi na kami mapaghiwalay, na hindi na raw ball is life ang mantra ni Cci ngayon at 'Maddy is life na'. Natawa na lang ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya dahil alam ko namang biro iyon.
I even met Tito Paolo and Tita Abigail. They're very caring and kind, I swear! Pakiramdam ko nga hindi ako belong sa family nila everytime na sinasama ako ni Cci sa mga dinner nila or kahit na sa bahay lang nila. There's this one time that Ricci invited me for their lunch date. They're complete, as in! Magsimula sa kanilang ahia which is Kuya Prince hanggang sa bunso na si Riley. As I look at them one by one ay sobrang mararamdaman mo ang love and sweetness nila sa isa't isa.
"Are you alright?" Ricci whispered on my ear.
"Of course, nakakatuwa lang kayong tignan. You all look happy." I smiled at him.
Napansin naman iyon ng kanyang ina kaya nginitian ko and Tita smiled at me, too.
"I'm grateful na hindi na lang ako ang babae dito sa pamilya. Welcome to the family, Maddison!"
"Thank you po, Tita."
That moment made me smile for the rest of our lunch. Ramdam ko na welcome ako sa kanilang pamilya and that's very important to me dahil ganoon rin ang pamilya ko kay Ricci. We're legal in both sides, so walang problem.
Ang problema na lang talaga ay ang mga fangirls niya in school and even online. Although, hindi naman problema kaso minsan ay nabobother ako. Some of them are not in favor of our relationship and some of them are just so supportive. Now that it's just a week before the start of the UAAP game ay mas lalong dumarami ang sumusuporta sa kanya, kanila. They are the defending champions, kaya naman maingay ang kanilang pangalan ngayon.
Ngayong malapit na ang kanilang laro, minsan na lang kaming magkasama. I always watch him play for their practice every afternoon and somehow nakatulong naman yon na hindi ko siya masyadong ma miss. Doon na lang kami nagkikita at habang busy siya sa paglalaro ay gumagawa naman ako ng mga school works para hindi ako matambakan.
That's just how our day for the past week. Papanuorin siya, pupunta siya sa akin habang break time and after that balik na siya sa court.
Habang tumatagal, mas lalo ko siyang lminamahal. I came to love his passion, which is basketball. He's good at his chosen sport, he's really good at it. While his hands effortlessly dribble the ball into his hands, as he run to the beat of the ball, I know, malayo ang mararating niya.
"Malusaw 'yan, sige ka!" Tudyo ng aking kapatid na kasalukuyang katabi ko sa panunuod.
"I am so happy for you, sis." I glanced at my sister and gave her a warm hug.
"Maghanap ka na rin kasi! Wala kang bang gusto sa mga teammates niya?"Asar ko kay Mich.
"Nah, I don't like sporty boys."
"Wait, sa pagkakaalam ko ay 'yon ang mga tipo mo?! You even told me that before."
"Sinabi ko ba? Parang hindi naman."
Kita mo 'tong kambal ko, ayaw umamin. May kinalolokohan na kaya ito? My curiousity is aching from information that my sister could only provide. I look at her and I notice that she's a little bit uneasy at ngayon ko lang napansin na ang laki ng ipinagbago niya. She's somewhat, changed?
Hindi na siya nagsusuot ng maiikling shorts, because basically, my sister do not like wearing pants. It's either shorts, skirts or dresses ang nasa wardrobe niya, but now, she's wearing black pants and a white v-neck shirt! Oh my goodness!
"What happened to your fashion sense, sister?" I asked, almost laughing.
My sister glared at me like she wants to strangle me. She sighed, she's ready to spill the beans.
"A good for nothing student just gave me a warning for wearing short shorts. He only gave me an hour to change my clothes, so I have no choice but to go to mall and search for something more decent."
Mas diniinan niya ang more, she look pissed and I must say that she look more decent nga naman ngayon. Impit na tawa ang pinakawalan ko dahil walang nakakapagpasunod sa kanya kundi ang parents lang namin, and the thought that a guy made her look like this is a miracle! This is getting fishier!
"Well, that guy has se power over you huh?" Panunuya ko sa kanya at mas lalong pumula na naman ang kanyang mukha hindi dahil sa kilig kundi sa inis. I'm loving this kind of Michelle. She looks just like before.
"Anong power?! He's just the president! Not a king or a prince!"
"Malamang ate, nasa Pilipinas tayo, do you even think na nasa Britain tayo?" She crinkled her nose and look away from me. Kita mo 'to, naasar na ata. I'm loving this side of her's. Matagal ko nang hindi nakikita ang ganung side niya na hindi ko na maalala kung kailan nagsimulang magbago siya.
"Hey," Ang malambing na boses ni Cci ang narinig ko sa aking likuran.
"Tapos na kayo?" His nod made me answer my question.
"Shower muna" Saka itinuro ang mga kasamang isa-isa nang pumupunta sa loob ng shower room.
"Yeah, sure."
Bago siya pumunta roon ay humalik muna siya sa aking pisngi. Pinamulahan naman ako dahil hindi ako sanay hinahalikan sa pisngi, lalo na't nanonood sa amin ang aking kapatid.
"Ay ang sweet! Nilanggam ako! Makaalis na nga lang." Pang-aasar ng aking kapatid. Now, she's the one whose making fun of me.
"Ate!" I look away and look at Ricci's direction instead. They're laughing, and he seems happy.
"Got to go sis, see you at home!"
Tumayo na siya at patakbong umalis. Ayaw niya lang sigurong mas magusisa pa ako sa kanya.
"We're not yet done!" Pahabol kong sigaw sa kanya.
"Oh we're done talking, dear sister!" Tatawa tawa pa siya at saka madaling lumabas sa gym. Akala ko sabay kaming uuwi nun. Ano na naman bang gagawin niya?
I waited for about fifteen minutes and Ricci's done with his shower.
"San mo gusto?" He asked but I don't know what to answer. Alam ko namang pagod siya at heto, nag-aaya pa kung saan ko gusto. Hindi ba niya ramdam ang pagod?
"If you're gonna ask if I'm tired, no. I will never get tired, makita pa lang kita, tanggal lahat ng pagod ko."
He smiled in his most genuine smile, true and priceless.
"Fine. Dun nalang tayo sa nearest restau, and then you'll rest. Alright?"
"Yes, captain!"
Wearing his dark cargo shorts, plain white tee and a sport bag holding on his right hand, he held my hand on the other and headed staight to the exit.
