Intelligent Mind Equals Foolish Heart

IMEFH - Chapter 26

"You're here." mahina kong saad. I'm now sitting on my bed. Nakaupo sa tabi ko si Benzj.

Yep. Sya yung dumating. He's the one who punched Jeron.

"Yeah, and that was all that I've witnessed? Like seriously? Jane! For god's sake! Are you offering yourself just like that? Like really? Are you that desperate?"

Nakagat ko ang labi ko.

"You heard it?" shet! Ngayon ko na naramdaman ang sobrang hiya.

"I even saw you kissing him like.. -" he stops and shook his head. "Never mind."

"I love him." I admitted.

"And?" Benzj face me.

"Damn it! He's leaving! and I don't want him to..!"

"Was that a reason enough for you to act like a bitch?"

Bitch? Me ? A bitch? I'm just in love! But yeah. It hurts to admit but I really did act like a total bitch.

"Sorry for the word. Hindi lang siguro ako sanay. Knowing the fact that you grew up in a very conservative family."

"I know right! I know I acted like a really desperate bitch, but you should understand, dapat nga ikaw unang makaintindi nun. Can't you see? I'm in Love!"

"And you would do everything for it?"

" Yeah. I would even crush that barrier called conservation."

Napatayo si Benzj at napahawak sa noo nya. "How could - ugh. I can't believe you!"

"Then maybe you should believe me now. You've witnessed it, don't you? I tempted a man to make love on me"

Nakita kong biglang bumalatay ang galit sa mukha ni Benzj. "Yeah maybe, because you're not the same girl I have met two years ago. You are different from that woman who used to be my best friend, and I can't even convince myself that once, I fall in love with you. Huh! Do I even know you?"

Ouch! Wouldn't that hurt? He's suppose to be comforting me because I'm a total damsel in distress right now!

"You're right! I've changed. Because I'm not that same woman who was being lied and lost her best friend a year ago!" I talked back.

And with mouth agape, he stare at me like I said the most shocking news.

Then he laughs and shook his head. "Stop being so childish Jane, it was you who pushed me away. So don't put the blame on me!"

And I don't have an answer for that. Ok . Who am I anyway to blame him? It was me, so yeah he's right.

"And just to let you know- " he looks at me then continued. "-you never lost me, and you will never lost me.Maybe you've changed, but Im still the best friend you once had and you will always have."

"Wow beast, I'm touched." I tried to say it with sarcasm but then the tears suddenly fall from my eyes. Because I know for a fact na, he will be the only best best friend I could have.

He came near me and hug me. "I can't stop caring for you." he said. "Sorry kung sa halip na icomfort kita ay nagalit pa ako. I just can't take the fact that you're sacrificing everything for a guy. But yeah, I understand - I should have always understand because Nichole did it to me."

Napangiti ako. "Nichole has a Masteral Degree for being a bitch." I said and laughed.

Sumimangot sya. "Boyfriend here."

"Well, I was also here a while ago." We both laughed.

"So? Can you tell me about Jeron? You know, to better understand the whole damn thing. I wanted to know how you fall helplessly with that idiot." he smirked.
