I Was Loved | Jordi GDL

21

Oh my gosh. Foreal??? Is this real? Why is he here? Like watda heal? What is Juan GDL doing here? Friends ba sila ni kuya Forth? Can someone explain? Hala, siya pa naman yung una kong crush bago si Jordi. Omg I can't believe it.

I know nakanganga ako literally. But what? And why is my family here already? I thought we'd be celebrating it together bukas.

"Aldous, come here." Tawag ko.

"Lika na dito, gutom na ko." He reasoned.

"Please? So that you can eat na." I told him. He quickly stood up. He's gutom na talaga. I looked around, and that's when I noticed the juniors smiling widely at me. Oh my gosh!!! They're here (not all and kasama na dun si kulot) pero mas madami unlike last year na limang juniors lang ang nagpunta.

"Hi! Thank you for coming!" I told them.

"Hm? Ano na?" Aldous asked, looking so pissed. Hahaha!

"Why is Juan GDL here?" I whispered. He looked at me with his left brow raised.

"He drove Jordi here. Pinapasok na din ni Tita Ann saka your kuya Forth is here naman." He answered and my jaw dropped.

"Jordi's here?" I asked again.

"Kulit naman. Oo nga." I almost jumped out of happiness but I contained myself.

"You look like tomato." Aldous told me. I rolled my eyes on him.

"Sige na, you go back na. I'll talk to ate Jing first." I looked around again but I see no Jordi. I told them na I'm going outside muna, since ate Jing said she's near na.

"Hey, happy birthday." I merely jumped. God I know that voice. I breathed in and out. I don't wanna collapse. Gosh I'm kinikilig. I turned around to see Jordi hovering over me. Why is he so tall? He's taller than Aldous.

"Thanks!" I answered cheerfully.

"Go inside, they're already eating." I added. Tumango sya and then he smiled. Gosh. Malulusaw na ata ako.

"Are you coach pao's niece?" He asked. Luh. No. No. What.

"C-coach? Wala n-naman akong tito na coach." I answered nervously.

"Oh, you and his niece has the same birthday." He smiled. I'm falling! Ang bait niya!

"Ah. Sige, kain kana. I'm gonna wait for someone pa eh." I told him. He shrugged.

"I'll wait with you." I felt my cheeks heating up. Oh, God. I think I'm gonna die na.

"H-ha?" I stammered. Halaaa.

"I'll wait with you. It's already dark diba, baka mamaya there's a bad guy out here, I can't live with conscience bothering me." He chuckled. Ah, he's just being kind lang pala. Masyadong pafall naman ata yung way ng pagpapalaki sakanila ni mama Anna.

"What are you thinking?" I went back to reality when he asked.

"I was thinking if my visitor's gonna come pa. I told her 4 pm kasi but it's already 6:30." I thanked God that I have thought of an excuse kaagad and I didn't stammered. He just nodded and smiled.

I thought he's like that kind of person na hindi mahilig mag smile. But I think I was wrong. He loves to smile! And he is so precious. No wonder why I like him.

"Ate Jing!" I shouted when I saw her walking out of the car. She smiled at me when she saw me, but her eyes went to Jordi kaagad. Her forehead creased.

"Boyfriend mo? Bagay kayo ah! Siya ba yung laging tinitweet mo?" ARGHHH! BA'T BA ANG BILIS NIYA MAGSALITA? LIKE I WAS ALREADY GESTURING HER TO STOP BUT SHE DIDN'T BECAUSE HER MOUTH IS IN NO CONTROL. OKAY SORRY, I'M IN CAPS.

"Of course not! It's not him." I denied. Sounding so defensive. Gahd.

"Okay. Sabi mo eh. Hello pogi!" Ate Jing squealed, saka naunang maglakad. I just shook my head out of frustration. She's so makulit talaga!

"She's loud." Jordi chuckled. Napangiti nalang din ako. Argh, new found happy pill. His laugh. I love it.

"Tara na." I said. Sabay kaming pumasok and then all eyes were on us. Lily and Kuya Polo's look, they're sooooo... malicious!

I sat beside Lily. She's so silent. So nakakapanibago, Collin's here pero kahit pa naman Collin's around, she's still loud. Iba ata ihip ng wind. Haha.

"Jia, happy birthday." Kuya Juan greeted.

"You're blushing." He told me. Mas lalo pa akong nahiya. AaaaAaAhh!!! If I could just shout, maybe I already did it kanina pa.

"You were her crush before." Kuya Forth interrupted. Ay! Lupa, eat me na!!! Kuya Juan chuckled. Ba't ganon sila? huhuhu

"Thank you po." I told him. He just smiled then nagpaalam sa relatives ko. Kuya Polo greeted me next.

"I smell something fishy, birthday girl." He whispered. Saka natawa. I just rolled my eyes on him. He just shrugged and then thanked me again. Everyone greeted me before leaving.

"Happy birthday, Felicita." Jordi greeted. I wasn't able to answer him so he just chuckled and then walked away, I also saw him saying goodbyes to my relatives. He even did mano to my lola. Aish. I haven't thanked him hanggang sa makalabas siya ng bahay. I was stunned, literally.

"You owe me some storytelling." Lily winked.
