Better than Perfect (Period No Erase)

Chapter Seven -whatcha lookin' at, boy?-

*Dylan's POV*

Ng umalis na si Talwyn at ang mga balyiw niyang friends, hinarap ko ang mga confused looks ng mga friends ko.

"What?"

Scott: "Damn......"

Nash: "libre ko kayo ng lunch if im right. That's for sure."

Andrew: "sabi ko na sa inyo eh."

Tim: "this is a miracle."

Gabriel: "thought you guys were joking. Di pala."

Huh?

"Excuse me? A little lost here." Sabi ko sa kanila. I dont know why they're being like this. They're looking at me like natubo-an ako ng dalawang ulo.

"ohhhh wala. Tara na. Trigo na. Damn i hate math."

Pag uwi ko sa bahay, nakita ko si Mommy nakaupo sa sofa.

"Hi mom." Pumunta ako sa kanya at nag kiss.

"Hi baby. How's your day?" Sagot niya sakin. Nanunood siya ng ng White Chicks sa star movies kaya umopo ako sa tabi niya at sinamahan siyang mag watch. The fact na 'baby' pa rin tawag niya sakin kahit 18 na ako, call me mama's boy but i love it when she calls me that.

"Fine. Interesting." Sagot ko sa kanya.

"Ohhhhh did you meet some new friends? Giiiiiiiiiirl?" Sabi niya sakin while pinching my cheek.

"What? Hahaha nooooooo" im not gonna mention Talwyn kay mommy. Kasi alam ko kapag pina-explain niya ako kung 'what kind of girl is she?', sa ulo niya lumalakad na si Talwyn so aisle at ako naka hintay sa harap mg altar. Soooo, maybe not. Perks of having a hopeless romantic mother.

"Pfffft if you say so."

Biglang bumukas ang main door at pumasok si Daddy while shouting,

"Hello my beautiful wife and hello maids! Ohhh my handsome son how are you?" Sabi ni daddy and he tapped my shoulder.

"Im fine dad, you?"

He kissed mom then umopo siya sa tabi niya.

"Good. Very good. And It's good to be back here. I missed this place."

I missed this place too.

"Son, are you okay dahil bumalik tayo dito?" Tanong ni dad.

Honestly? My answer is 50-50.

Na miss ko ang America dahil sa weather.

I also missed this place kasi nandito yung mga friends ko.

"It's fine that. Nandito mga friends ko so everything's fine." It is.

"thank you for understanding, son."

"Anytime dad. Gotta go to my room now, i need to rest."

"Sure thing."

"Rest well, baby."

Ng papunta na ako sa kwarto, tinawag ako ni daddy.

"oh and dylan, about you moving out sa apartment mo? Ready na."

"Thanks, dad."

"Just dont forget every friday dito ka kakain."

"Okay."

Ng pumasok ako sa room ko, di maalis sa mind ko si Talwyn.

"Monthsary nga namin ngayon eh. Diba babe? Babe monthsary natin ngayon diba?"

Yeah right. Monthsary, my ass.

I dont do relationships.

Im too complicated for that.

I dont fucking like what im feeling pag si Talwyn kaharap ko.

All my emotions napapalabas niya. And i dont like it.

I need to stay away.

But the million dollar question is,

HOW?!
