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

Chapter 7

Napasandal si Andrea ng mapagtantong nanginginig ang tuhod nya sa takbo ng pangyayari. Shit.. I can hear my heartbeat. What am I even doing in this place with her..

"Andrea?" Tawag ni Megan mula sa shower room. "Bath's ready."

Napatayo sya ng pumasok si Megan sa kwarto. "You okay?" Tanong ng dalaga habang papalapit sa kanya.

"Y-Yes. I'll go take a shower now." Dali dali nyang kinuha ang towel sa cabinet ng pinigilan sya ni Megan. "I can wash your back you know." Panunukso nito.

Inalis nya ang mga kamay nitong nakahawak sa braso nya. "I can take care of myself, I'm not a child."

Megan smiled. "I know. But we're both girls. Wala namang masama kung sabay tayong maligo diba? Unless.. Bibigyan mo ng malisya."

"Malisya? Who kissed who? It's wrong enough that you brought me here. Don't be such a pervert."

"Pervert? A kiss is pervert to you? I wonder how you'd call sex then."

"Hah! I'm not as naive as you think. It's clear that you're up to something and I don't want to be involved. So if you'll excuse me-"

Nagulat si Andrea ng bigla syang yakapin ni Megan. "A-Ano ba-"

"Andrea.."

"Will you let-"

"Please.. Just a couple of minutes. Let me stay like this.." Seryosong tugon ni Megan habang pilit syang tinutulak ni Andrea.

Hah! I give up.. "Megan, I wouldn't know what's on your mind kung ganito ka lang. I honestly don't mind you hugging and kissing me, but at least tell me something."

"Tell you what?"

"Why.. Why are you doing this.."

"Is it weird?"

"It's weird. Di naman tayo close. We just met. And we're not even considered friends."

"Hmm.." Napigil ang hininga ni Andrea ng humigpit ang yakap ng dalaga sa kanya.

"Megan.. You.. You're weird, really. Do you know that?"

Megan reluctantly let her go at dali dali itong umalis patalikod sa kanya. What the..

"Hey! Megan wait!" Habol nyang tawag dito ng makita nyang lumabas ito ng bahay dala ang sasakyan. She can't leave me here, can she?!

Lumilipad ang isip ni Andrea habang nakababad sa bathtub. Umalis si Megan at hindi nya mawari kung babalik ito o hindi.

"What the hell is wrong with that girl?! Arghh!" Napabuntunghininga ang dalaga sa napasukang sitwasyon. "There has to be a way for me to go home tomorrow if she doesn't come back to get me."

"Gy.. Miggy.." Napangiti si Miggy ng makita ang masayang mukha ng kaibigang tumatawag sa harap nya.

"Cath.. I miss you.." Sagot ni Megan habang hinahaplos ang pisngi ng kaibigan.

"Miss din kita.." Napapikit si Megan when her lips touched hers. "Hnnm.. Cath.. I.. love.. you.."

"Hehe. I know.." Napaungol si Megan ng maramdaman ang dila ni Cath sa bibig nya at ang kamay nitong unti unting pumapasok sa skirt nya. Ahh.. Cathy..

"Fuck!" Hingal na bumangon si Miggy mula sa driver's seat ng sasakyan ng maalalang wala sya sa bahay nila. Shit.. That dream again.

"She's probably sleeping by now." Sabi ni Megan sa sarili habang pinapaandar ang sasakyan.

Dali daling bumalik at nagkumot si Andrea ng mapansin ang sasakyan ni Megan na gumarahe sa harap ng bahay. So she decided to come back after all..
