Nag-Mahal, Nasaktan, Natulog?

Chapter 11 - Feelings, love and US

Liza's POV

Pinayagan ako ng parents ni Jay na tumira kasama sila.

3 months have passed, and I have been recovering.

I have learnt a lot more about Jay and he has learnt a lot more about me through me living in his house.

Dalawa lang ang kwarto sa bahay ni Jay kaya kasama ko sya sa isang kwarto. Kahit dalawa lang ang kwarto, malaki naman at madaming space.

We spent nights looking up at the ceiling, talking about anything and everything, we have conversations and not have a single care about the world around us.

When I'm with him, it's like we're the only people in the world. I feel like everything is perfect when I'm with him.

I don't know why but because of Jay, I start feeling this warmth in my heart.
Maybe I just feel thankful for his kindness.

It didn't happen before but why does it happen now?

What does it mean?

I think something's changed between us.

Our connection has gotten stronger.

Our feelings have developed.

I think I like him...

More than a friend

Or maybe I don't.
As a lot of adults say, it's just 'infatuation'

We've spent some nights, laying down next to each other, being kept warm by each other's body heat and the warmth of the blanket wrapped around us. Just staring deeply into each other's eyes in silence until we both fall asleep.

There's been a time when he fell asleep first and I watched how cute he was as he sleeps.
I look at his precious face in front of me and fall asleep and see him again in my dreams.

I wonder if he watches me sleep too.
Oh no. What if I look ugly? Hala! Shocks!
Yung tulo laway, bagos medyo mulat.
What if I snore!?
Wahhh, please noooo

It's so embarrassing!

I have many questions
I wonder if Jay feels the same way about me.

Does he like me more than a friend?

I quietly whisper under my breathe.
"I love you Jay, do you love me back?"

Suddenly and unexpectedly...
Jay - ....
