"Let's see" -Alyssa
"Haha. Let's make a deal"
"What?" -Alyssa
"I shouldn't fall inlove with you."
"What?! No, ikaw lang magbebenefit dun, pano naman ako?" sabi niya then, tumahimik siya, tapos nagsalita ulit. "What if you fell in love with me?"
"That won't happen you know"
"Can you please shut up for a minute and listen to me? What if nga diba? You know Dennise, you can't dictate what will happen in the future, what if you and me are for each other? What if...." i cut her off.
"Ayan nanaman puro 'What if'"
"Haha. I can't imagine our future." she said, nigiting wagas.
"Talaga, 'cause that will never happen, faggot" sabi ko sabay takbo. Hinabol naman niya ko, then nung nahuli niya ko, dahil sa inertia, natumba kami, nasa ibabaw niya ko. We stopped there for a moment, we stared at each other. And then naalala ko, na I should be angry at her. Tumayo ako agad.
"S-s-sorry" she said quietly, did I just saw her blush? Haha.
"I didn't mind, ang harot mo kasi eh." i teased
"Haha. Ayaw mo ba talaga maglaro dito Babe?" tanong niya sabay hawak ng bola, tsaka nag shoot. Naglalaro siya habang nag uusap kami.
"No thank you. What are your other plans?"
"Besides making you fall in love with me, and marrying you in the future? Hmm. I don't know" she said with a grin on her face.
"Haha. Never. I think we can be friends but not more than that, and are you serious about that?"
"About what?" -Alyssa
"About that marriage thingy?"
"Yep. I know you don't want to hear this but, yeah, I'll tell you. The first time I saw you, feeling ko na love at first sight ako," she says, she stopped playing, pero she's still holding a ball, she faced me.
"Weh? Don't mess with me, faggot"
"Shut up, let me continue," she said, medyo galit. "Di ko alam kung bakit, pero kahit sinapak mo ako, at sinira mo ang mercedes ko, di ako nagalit. And then from then on," her voice trailed off.
"And then?" medyo pabitin din tong si valdez eh. Parang nahihiya ata to.
"I stalked you." she said shyly "Scratch that, I followed you, that's why im joining the team, even though my UST family will hate me for transfering to Ateneo. I want to be close to you, Dennise"
"Haha. So you're obssessed with me, faggot?" i teased her.
In my surprise she nodded. "It was hard to admit, but yes, I think I am. So when this arranged marriaged thing come, I didn't waste the oppurtunity,"
"But then, I knew you were angry at me, so I guess I have a slight chance, but I'll prove myself to you Ms. Lazaro. " -Alyssa
"Haha. I didn't know that, you know I'll think about that."
"About?" -Alyssa
"Giving you a chance" i said, medyo mahina lang, I just thought that, maybe she wasn't that bad after all. Maybe, she didn't meant what she did to Angela.
She smiled, a smile of hope. "Thank you, Dennise. I just want you to know, the arrange marriage didn't mean anything to me, I'm serious about you"
I'm serious about you
I'm serious about you
I'm serious about you
