Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 31

Part 31
Alex's POV

"Victoria Peak? Malayo ba yon? " I asked, he thought for awhile before answering.

"yeah, onting layo, but it's the best for a date." he answered, it somehow sounded geniun na parang pinipilit maging ganon. I sighed, I don't want to ruin his mood.

"it's not a date, he wants ate back and he wants me to help him." I answered to assure him,  I don't want to have fights na sakaniya, it's hard having an argument with someone you're close with.

He smiled "yeah, sure." sabi niya then walked, I don't want to sound like so bitter, ayoko rin naman na mag sound na umaasang nag seselos siya.

We both walked quietly, while reminiscing every bits of what's happening now, I maybe being attached to him and I badly don't want to end scenarios like this, sana ganito na lang palagi.

Tinignan ko naman si Trip, he was quiet at parang he was doing the same thing as I was doing, he was just walking and appreciating what's happening now. I hope things will stay like this forever.

There's this last spot na pupuntahan namin bago mag headback sa hotel, it was like temple where we could make our wishes to. It was quiet and peaceful. Red almost lahat dito and gold and punong puno nang mga chinese.

"oh, what did you wished for? " I asked pag kalabas namin nang temple, he was seriously talking to God kanina eh so I decided not to bother him inside.

"I wished na maging happy ka." he said with a bitter smile, what does he mean? Maging happy ako? Pero happy naman ako eh.

"happy ako? Happy naman ako specially with you." sabi ko, I don't know if he'd take that the other way but I don't care, I want him to know what I want him to know. He sighed out of nowhere.

"I know but that's temporary, hindi naman lahat nag stay like this." he said, hindi ko na rin talaga gets what he was trying to say. I'm confused.

I didn't even asked more at nag lakad na lang pabalik nang van. He was being to mysterious and I didn't even know what he meant. I tried sleeping nalang on the way back this is way too awkward.

Fastforward

After having the most wonderful nap, I fixed myself for a night out later, Jax was texting me na malapit na siya kaya naman binilisan ko na agad yung pagkilos, I didn't try looking someone I'm not, sobrang simple lang din nang ayos ko.

My phone starts ringing and that means andito na si Jax sa hotel, I don't know what's the rush, we were supposed to meet at 8 pero 7 palang, he asked if we could make it earlier dahil he had a flight back na at 11.

I went down to the lobby to meet him, he's wearing a white polo shirt with brown khaki shorts. His hair was waxed and his face looks so good.

"you look good, what did you do?" he asked at nilapitan ako, his smile was enough for his eyes to disappear. He hugged me pag kalapit niya sakin.

"so you're saying na I don't look good back in the Philippines? " kunyaring pagmamaldita ko sakaniya, he laughed at mas tinaasan ko naman yung kilay ko.

"baliw, anyways-"

I cutted him off, "because of ate ba toh? Kaya moko ni meet? " I asked, it was so urgent kasi kaya I think may problem siya or an idea came up to his mind. Tho pwede naman sabihin thru call.

"y-y-yeah, oo, baka? " he was unsure about what he wants to say, is he meeting me for other reasons? Or just bored? "I wanted to hang out for awhile bago umuwi, so I decided to call you."

I nodded for him to see me understanding what he wants, tho it's quite magulo dahil pwede naman siya mag hang out mag isa or he can just hang out with me pag uwi.

"san mo ba ko dadalhin? Trip recommended Victoria Peak. Seems interesting eh." I said he seems to agree dahil nga tatango tango siya.

"yeah sure, maganda nga don." sabi niya at pinagbuksan ako nang car door. I wonder where he got this car since bisita rin naman siya dito.

"sayo toh? " I asked, baka kasi may pag aari rin siya dito eh pero I know he never lived here, Europe maybe pero here in Hongkong? I don't think so

"nope, company's car. Sayo toh." he said then drove away, I wanted to talk to him about what happened in here since gusto ko naman mag mawala lahat nang kinikimkim ko and he's one of the person that I trust.

I kept quiet for awhile, thinking if I should open up to him, baka kasi di rin siya interesado atsaka baka ayaw niya nang kausap while driving.

"so uhh, tell me what happened to you? Open up. I miss your little rants." he said, finally he opened up about this one, marami kasi akong maikwekwento. He took a quick glance at me while smiling, he must be waiting.

"Trip and I had an argument but we're good na, it really is hard to have an argument with someone you're close with." I started "I uhh kind of started to feel so attached to him. I don't even understand what's happening to me."

We were waiting for the green light kaya naman Jax shifted his attention to me for awhile "attached? Agad agad?" he asked.

I nodded "I know sobrang bilis pero that's what I feel? Ganun yata yung marupok eh." sabi ko, he laughed pero mahina lang he must've find the word marupok funny.

"well, you can't just blame yourself. Being attached is too much lalo na't kung di ka sure if he's staying. That's the sad part." he said and sighed, he sounded like he also felt the same way too. Parang napag daanan na niya.

"have you also felt this way? I mean, you're talking like you know how it feels." I asked out of curiosity, he was taking it deep kaya I somehow wanted to know if he ever experienced this too.

He nodded, "yeah, with your sister." he replied.
