Chapter 11: Ysabella.

Dominique's POV:

When a person's in love it releases a certain chemical in their body that can make a person happy, it's love's own term of high. Parang sa drugs. It makes you happy and high. Para kang baliw. Baliw na baliw sa lahat ng bagay. You smile eventhough there's nothing to smile about. You laugh even if there's nothing funny. And for me...

Those kinds of feelings are disgusting. Yes, I've been in love with Chris. Well, uhm, sort of in love with him. Because according to him, I am not. But nevermind. Being all mushy mushy in love is not really my thing. It's disgusting. Being clingy, uttering sweet nothings. I mean, yuck! Who does that?

"But we have to. If you want to make him jealous, kailangan nating gawin 'to. Nikki and I always do this."

Sinubukan kong wag umirap pero hindi talaga kinaya ng sarili kong gawin iyon. Humalukipkip ako at naupo sa bench. So lagi nilang ginagawa? So they're always mushy mushy, huh? Kadiri!

"Will this make him really jealous?"

"Yeah." Saad niya at may binulong. Pero hindi ko naman narinig.

Seriously, kailangan ko ng magpatingin kay mommy dahil humihina na ang pandinig ko. Well, my mother's a plastic surgeon but she also has a degree in E.N.T. (Ears, Nose and Throat.) She has a double degree.

"Then we'll do it. If this can make me get him back. We'll do it." I said with gritted teeth. Tumayo ako at lumapit sakanya.

"Lagi naman nating ginagawa ito ah." Sabi niya at saka ako inakbayan.

Alam ko. Inaakbayan niya ako, nag-ho-holding hands kami, kumakapit ako sa braso niya, we even kissed and have sex. Pero ewan ko ba. Since my feelings unveiled, since the day that I'm able to sink in to myself that I'm in love with him.

Parang nakukuryente na ako sa hawak niya. Sa tingin niya para akong nasusuka na ewan. Para akong grade six kung maka-react sa crush niya! Para akong... Unang beses na na-in love.

Hinatid niya ako hanggang sa classroom namin, eh sakto, sa klase kong ito ay kaklase ko si Chris, sa tapat ng pinto ng classroom ay tumigil kaming dalawa.

Jhester lean closer to me and kiss the side of my lips lightly, "Bye. I'll pick you up after class."

Tumango lang ako at pumasok na sa room. Nakayukong namumula ang mukha ko. We kissed. We kissed torridly. Pero bakit ganito ang reaction ko sa simpleng halik sa gilid pa ng labi ah.

Naupo na ako sa pwesto ko habang tulala pa din at nakahawak sa gilid ng labi ko. Wala sa sariling napangiti ako at nakatingin lang sa harap. Nawala lang ang ngiti sa labi ko nang biglang dumungaw si Chris sa harap ko.

"What happened?" Tanong niya. He's asking about what happened after we left yesterday.

And of course, kinwento ko sakanya kung paanong bigla na lang umayon lahat sa plano niya, "Thank you, Chris."

"I told you, it will work." Saad niya at saka ngumiti. Ngiti na hindi naman umabot sa mata niya.
