Take Your Time (GxG)

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

(**I am so sorry dahil natagalan yung update guys, busy lang talaga sa school...anyways, thank you and all the love for y'all**)

--------

Claurent's POV

The ride to Mia's home was unusually quiet. Tahimik lang sya and it felt awkward. I took a quick glance at her face at napansin kong nagzo-zone out sya.

" Okay ka lang ba?" tanong ko habang naka tingin sa daan. Natauhan naman sya nung nagsalita ako.

"A-ah,Oo naman. Why wouldn't I be?" tiningnan ko ulit sya at halatang nagsisinungaling sya.

" Nakakapanibago lang kasi. Nasanay na kasi ako sa kadaldalan mo." sagot ko sa kanya at natahimik ulit sya.

After a few seconds ay nagsalita ulit sya.

" Nakakapagod ba akong kasama?" I was taken by surprise sa tanong nya. Well, honestly speaking, nakakapagod naman talaga. But there's something in the tone of her voice that resisted me to say yes kaya hindi ko sya nasagot.

" You know, I've been finding reasons kung bakit ganito ako, bakit ako attention-seeker. Maybe it has something to do with my parents? Kasi they never have time for me eh. Alam mo nung time na na-meet mo sila, that was the first time in months that they stopped by the house and talked to me. Masyado akong natuwa nun kaya hindi ko na napag-isipan yung sumunod na nagawa ko...and sorry pala about that."

Nabigla ako sa sudden confession ni Mia.
Medyo na-awa din ako sa kanya. Yung parents ko din kasi minsan lang umuuwi sa bahay because of work.

Kaya siguro ganun sya magpapansin kasi she doesn't get it a lot especially from her parents.

" I understand." sagot ko sa kanya. Nakita ko naman syang ngumiti and for the first time, I found it very sincere..walang halong plastik.

Nag-usap lang kami the rest of the way patungo sa bahay niya. She shared a lot of her stories and I shared a lot of mine.

" Have you ever had a girlfriend?" tanong niya sa akin.

" Yeah, but none of them lasted." I sadly replied.

"Bakit?"

"I don't know. I guess it's because in the eyes of others, a girl falling in love with a girl is a sin." sagot ko at napa tahimik naman sya.

" Well...do you plan to have another one?" she pressed on.

"If she won't break my heart like others did, then yes." I answered and turned the car to the street to Mia's house.

I stopped the car sa tapat ng bahay niya. Lumabas ako sa kotse and opened the door for her. She didn't say anything about my gesture and just said, " Thank you."

Napangiti lang ako. " You're welcome. Just always remember na love ka parin ng parents mo, no matter what." I put my hand on her shoulder.

She smiled and nodded before she went inside.

Bumalik narin ako sa loob ng kotse and drove off.

I locked my phone at nilagay sa bedside table. Sa totoo lang, wala naman talaga akong assignment. Excuse ko lang yun. Ayoko makausap si Claurent ngayon.

Bakit? Kasi galit ako sa kanya.

Bakit ako galit sa kanya? Yun ang hindi ko alam.

Part of it is nainis ako. She chose Mia over me. Why did it seem like nahihirapan siyang tanggihan yung babaeng yun? For all I know, nilalandi lang nun si Claurent! Sira kunwari yung kotse niya...nagpapalusot lang para mahatid sya ni Claurent.

" Bakit ako naiinis kay Shane? Dahil ba hindi siya ang nag hatid sa akin? O dahil hindi ako yung hinatid niya? Eh ano naman kung ihatid niya si Mia?....Eh diba nga nilalandi sya ni Mia? Eh Bakit ganito yung reaction ko?!"

" Uuughhhhhhh!!!!!!!" bigla kong sigaw sabay talukbong ng kumot.

" Bakit kasiii...bakit bakit bakitttttt!!!!!!" I murmured against the pillow that I cuddled.

Sa kalagitnaan ng aking kabaliwan ay tumunog yung phone ko. Inabot ko ito and a message from Shane popped.

*From: Shane**
Nga pala Ace! Galingan mo jan sa homework mo ah...but don't push yourself too hard, you're still great no matter what. Pagkatapos mo jan, get a good night sleep na. xxall the love from nag-iisang Claurent Shane ng buhay mo😘

Hindi ko namalayan na ngumingiti na pala ako habang binabasa ko yung text ni Shane sakin. And when I realized, I shook my head and put down my phone.

Hindi dapat ako matuwa dahil sa isang simpleng text.

I'm still frustrated. Si Mia yung hinatid niya, hindi ako.

Then a scene popped in my head.

What if ma-fall si Claurent kay Mia? What if si Mia na ang laging dadalhin ni Claurent sa seaside? Tapos kakantahan pa sya..Then suddenly, boom. Papasok nalang sila ng Weston High na naka holding-hands, and what's worse is...si Shane yung magiging date ni Mia sa prom! Tapos there will be fans club called "Clia" all over the campus to support their love team! Tapos....

*Tok tok tok*

" Sweetie? Are you okay?" I snapped out of my imagination nang marinig kong kumatok si mommy, "You seemed like you were talking to yourself, I'm just concered."

" A-ah..nothing mommy...n-nag pa-practice lang ako for our oral presentation tomorrow." palusot ko sa kanya.

" Oh, okay. Good luck sa presentation mo na yan ah..good night, love you."

" Love you too mommy." sagot ko sa kanya. I heard her footsteps fading away.

Napa hinga naman ako ng malalim.

" Kasalanan mo to Claurent! Ginugulo mo yung utak ko!" those were the last words that I said before I dozed off into a deep slumber.
