It's not you, it's me (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

"Hmm.. Ah, Jake-" Pigil ni Megan kay Jake ng isinandal sya nito pahiga sa sofa habang hinahalikan ang leeg nya. "We can't. My brother's here."

Napangiti si Jake habang nakatitig pa rin sa dalaga. Damn those eyes. "I understand.. Sorry, masyado akong mabilis. Here.." Tugon nito habang inalalayan ang dalaga makaayos ng upo.

Megan gave the sweetest smile sabay haplos sa buhok ng lalake. "Don't worry about it. In the meantime, pag usapan muna natin yung arrangement.."

"Arrangement? Saan?"

"Since magkaiba tayo ng school. I'd rather see you during Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, kung wala ka namang gagawin on those days." The rest of your days will be with Andrea of course. Lihim na napangiti si Miggy sa takbo ng pangyayari.

Napangisi naman si Jake sa turan ng dalaga. How convenient. "Baby, gustuhin ko man makita at makasama ka araw-araw, it's not possible kasi may school and practice sa basketball. But are you okay seeing me only on those days?"

"Whatever time ang kaya mo lang ibigay. I'm okay with that. Of course I understand your priorities.."

Nilapit ni Jake ang mukha sa dalaga at hinalikan ito sa noo. "Priority kita. So I'd rather see you if I get even the smallest chance and time to see you."

Megan smiled as she crossed her legs na nag expose lalo sa maputi nyang legs. Nakita nyang napalunok ang lalake. "I won't demand too much. We just started after all." Tugon ng dalaga bago tumayo. "I'll get you some tea, wait here."

Beep beep

"Can we talk? I'm at home."

Napangiti si Jake ng mabasa ang text galing kay Andrea. Nilingon nya si Megan sa may kitchen at dali daling nag type ng reply.

"I will be there in 30 minutes baby."

Sent. Boy, this is my night. Nakangiting napaisip si Jake sa pwedeng pag usapan nila Andrea ng bumalik si Megan galing sa kitchen.

"You looked happy." Nakangiting kumento ng nobya bago sya nito tinabihan ulit.

"Ah, yeah. I'm happy that I'm here. Finally, Megan Ikeda is my girlfriend. It's.. It's just too good to be true."

Dumb fuck. "I'm glad. I'm happy too." Tugon ng dalaga.

Beep beep

"Okay, see you."

Dali daling kinuha ni Jake ang cellphone sa mesa at nilagay sa bulsa ng pantalon. "So how was your day baby? How's school?"

Napangiti si Megan sa napansing alarma sa reaksyon ng lalake. Sa kusina pa lang ay alam nyang nagtitext na ito at kinumpirma nito ang hinala nya ng makita ang text reply ni Andrea bago pa man ito matakpan ni Jake.

"Well, the usual naman ang events sa school. But I guess I'm having fun now than ever." Lalo na sa nangyari kanina sa restaurant.

"That's good to know. Nag dinner kana ba?"

"Yeah I did. Sa labas na kami kumain ni Archie."

"Archie?"

"My bestfriend. Ipapakilala ko sya sayo soon."
