"Can I sleep with you?"
"Yuck, that's incest! And sorry, couz, I'm not a bi." She cringed while looking at me. "I mean I'm not against them but I'm not one of them, okay."
I rolled my eyes at her. Pinitik ko ang noo niya sa kagigilan. Kung kakaiba akong mag-isip, mas nasa higher level pa n'on si Soffia Theresa Casanueva. Idagdag pang talagang sobrang bitchy niya. Madalas nga rin niyang supalpalin iyong bruha naming pinsan na si Lerissa.
"I mean to say I'm going to sleep at your condo! Ang dumi mo mag-isip!"
She laughed at my reaction then shrugged. "Akala ko kasi nagbago ka na ng preference. Anyway, ba't ayaw mo pang umuwi? Gusto mo ako na lang ang umuwi sa inyo?" She taunted me. "Akin na lang ang hot mong boyfriend."
I sighed heavily. I shouldn't have mentioned his name at her. She told me she won't listen to my rant if I won't tell her who's my bf. Type niya kasi ang mga kagaya ni Apollo. Mga hot, mysterious and business-minded. Ayaw daw niya ng bad boys dahil mga f*ckboy daw ang mga iyon.
"In your dreams! Gusto ko lang magpalipas ng sama ng loob." Nakanguso kong saad.
Eventhough my mind's pretty cleared up now, there's still some hurt left in me. And I don't want to face Apollo while I'm feeling this way.
"Isumbong kita sa Dad mo, ibinahay mo ang boyfriend mo."
Humahalakhak na saad niya habang binubuksan ang unit ng condo.
Her unit's much bigger than mine. It's spacious with the mixed color of peach and white as its interior. There's three rooms unlike mine na dalawa lang. Hindi ito ang unit niya noon. Mas maliit ang dati na madalas naming tambayan. Unlike me, Soffia's kinda spoiled with her father. Lahat ng naisin niya, binibigay agad.
"Hindi ko siya pinilit 'no. Ginusto niya 'yon. Siya ang nag-offer ng hotness niya sa akin." Nakaingos kong sabi habang nakaupo ng komportable sa couch niya.
Her unit's so organized. Sigurado magkakasundo sila ni Apollo sa bagay na ito. Parati akong pinagagalitan n'on dahil sa ang kalat ko raw. And that I forget a lot of things.
Kung tutuusin I should be thankful he's with me in my unit. Whenever I left the tv on, he turns it off. Whenever I forgot to lock the door, he's there to close it. It's like he completes the missing puzzle in my life. Lahat ng kakulangan ko, pinupunuan niya.
I stared mindlessly at the ceiling in one of Soffia's guest room. I miss him. I miss talking to him kahit na kanina lang kami nagkita. I miss his frown, his seriousness, his masculine voice..
"O, ano ka ngayon? Hanggang imagine ka na lang sa bf mo?" Natatawang pakli ni Soffia na pumasok doon.
She seems to be enjoying watching me in this state.
"Alam mo nahahalata na kita, parang gusto mo talagang naghihirap ako sa lovelife ko. What could I possibly have done before for you to hate me, huh?" Ngayon ako naman ang gigisa sa kanya.
Inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kanya like I'm scrutinizing her in a microscope.
She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. Naningkit ang tingin ko sa kanya. I tried thinking of so many things about us before. When suddenly his face popped into my mind!
"Aha! This must be about Dazzel Agostos!" My face says Eureka.
He's the only denominator in our life. Iyong constant na nakasama namin except for families.

The Runaway Groom
Humor[ Stanford Series #1] [FIN] She tends to forget a lot of things. She often forgets locking her unit. She forgets doing her grocery. She forgets her family's birthday sometimes.. or not just sometimes? That's her, but what's worst was when she didn't...
