BTBH #CHAPTER 23
Celestine's POV
Nag-dinner muna kami sa bahay nila Jacob bago nya ako inihatid.
...
"Thank you ha.." mahina kong sinabi habang naglalakad kami papunta sa gate.
"For?"
"I had fun.." nakangiti kong sinabi and we reached the gate.
"No problem. As your boyfriend, it's something I am willing to do.."
Napatawa ako, "Talaga?"
"Oo," at ngumiti sya.
"You should really smile more often. Mas gwapo ka tignan, and less of suplado." tumango tango ito at tumingin sa relo nya.
"I should get getting."
"Yeah I thin--" he kissed my cheeks and left.
Feeling ko sobrang init ng mukha ko.

Tumuloy ako sa kwarto at nahiga saglit.
Kinikilig pa ata ako.. Tss.
Naliligo ako ng nagring ang cellphone ko.
A smile drew on my face.
Jacob?
Nagmadali akong lumabas at nagtowel muna kahit basang basa pa ang katawan at may sabon pa at shampoo.
I clicked to see.
[Missed call from Ethan]
[2Messages from Ethan]
Teka.
I should be happy right?
I clicked on it to read.
Ah, okay, breakfast tomorrow.
I replied an, "Okay," at nagpatuloy na sa banyo.
Bakit ganun..
Pag si Jacob ang nagte-text..
Hinahabaan ko ang reply ko..
At may smileys pa..
Tss.

I had breakfast with Ethan.
"How was your trip?"
"Okay naman masaya.."
"Great.. Hon, 20days nalang.. Pwede na tayo ulit.." nakangiti nyang sinabi at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
Yes, 20Days more at makakasama ko na ulit si Ethan.
But I..
Don't feel as excited..as before.
I smiled at him at nodded.
He kissed my lips and I felt his love.
Ethan's POV
From her eyes.
I can see na nalilito na sya.
Na unting unti ng..
Nagbabago..
Nawawala..
Natatabunan..
At naglalaho ang pagibig nya sakin..
Pero I'm not going to lose hope.
Ako ang una nyang minahal.
At ngayong mahal ko na sya..
I'll fight for it..
Kahit bestfriend ko pa ang kaagaw ko sa puso nya.
Sa totoo lang, yes..
Right now at this very time.
Pwede kong sabihin sa kanya na magkakilala kami ni Jacob.
But he has a point.
We're guys.
Kailangan..
Totoong labanan.
May the best one win..
Her heart.
I caress Celestine's cheeks.
"I love you.."
