PLS. 4GIVE ME

Chapter 15: No One Else Comes Close

At doon na nga sila naupo ni Rose sa back seat. Hindi ko alam kung tanga lang ako na pagtabihin sila sa back seat where they could cuddle themselves and kill me of jealousy. Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko na maigi na rin yun dahil ayoko namang mabangga kami, at masaktan si Rose, dahil sa kaharutan ng lalaking yun.

"So as I was saying..." nagsimula na naman si Jeremiah.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Rose sa salamin. Pero hindi ko alam kung nabasa niya ang disgust ko kay Jeremiah. Pero nagulat ako ng hinalikan niya yung lalaki sa labi.

Sh*t!

I know i had to do something para maramdaman niya na hindi ako kumportable sa nangyayari sa paligid ko.

I turned on the radio. Sakto...kasisimula pa lang nga kanta...

When we turned out the light

The two of us alone together...

But nothing happened yet. Kaya nilakasan ko ang radyo.

Something's just not right

But girl you know that I would never ever let

Another's touch come between the two of us

Coz no one else could ever take your place...

Napansin kong napatingin sa akin si Rose sa salamin.

That song "No One Else Comes Close" was the one we used to sing for each other when we were intimately bestfriends. For some reasons we felt a sentimental connection with that song back then.

No one else comes close to you

No one makes me feel the way you do

Napatigil si Rose sa ginagawa niya at tinulak si Jeremiah palayo sa kanya.

You're so special girl to me

And you'll always be eternally

"What? What's the problem?" tanong ni Jeremiah.

Evertime I hold you near

You always say the word I love to hear

"Nothing hon, parang nakaramdam lang ako ng antok."

Girl with just a touch

You can do so much

No one else comes close...

"Huh, bat biglaan naman yata?"

And when I wake up to the touch of your head on my shoulder

You're my dream come true, yeah...

"Bahala ka na nga dyan," nainis na rin si Jeremiah at tinalikuran si Rose.

Nagkatitigan kami muli ni Rose sa salamin at sinabayan ko yung kanta.

"Oh girl you know I'll always treasure every kiss and everyday

I love you girl in every way.

And I always will coz in my heart..."

Napansin kong napangiti siya sa akin. Kaya nagpatuloy lng din ako sa pagkanta.

"No one else comes close to you

No one makes me feel the way you do

You're so special girl to me

And youll always be eternally

Everytime I hold you near

You always say the words I love to hear

Girl with just a touch you can do so much..."

Napatingin ulit ako sa salamin at nakita ko siya na umiiyak nang palihim.

"No one else comes close..."
