EX Friends With Benefits

Forty four

After those fights and confessions, ako na mismo ang umiiwas kay Nate. Yes, I still love him but this is enough. This will be the end! Ayokong magkagulo-gulo na naman kami dahil sa lintik na pag-ibig nato.

"I was wondering if you wanna go out of town? Let's catch things up?" He suddenly asked while kumakain kami.

"If you want to spend time with Kernel, kayo nalang kasi may mga gagawin pa ako dito at may trabaho ako" I calmly said.

"Magkano sahod mo sa isang araw?" He asked.

"Just a small amount, only 500 pesos since preschool lang naman yun" seryoso kong sabi.

"Yan lang sahod mo?" He asked

"Yeah, it's enough for me and Kernel. I'm poor but mama's rich binibigyan din naman niya kami ng pera" I looked at him.

"Can we agree to my plan?" He asked.

"Ilang araw ba?"

"Just for a week. You, me and Kernel" He smiled.

"Okay" tipid kong sagot.

"Let's go" bigla siyang tumayo at napatingin naman ako sa kanya.

"Bakit ang atat mo? Kumakain pa ako and besides Kernel's still sleeping" I said at itinuloy ko ang pagkain.

"I'm just excited to be with you" Sabi niya at bumalik sa pag upo.

"and Kernel" I added.

"Yeah yeah. Where do you wanna go?" He asked.

"I dunno" nagkibit balikat lang ako.

"Let's go abroad" He seriously said.

Napatawa naman ako sa kagagohan niya dahilan para kumunot ang noo niya.

"Really, Nate? nababaliw kana siguro no? Let's just stay here" matawa-tawa kong sabi.

"Okay, I'll decide where to go" He smiled at me.

"Nagpaalam ka ba kay Jessica tungkol dito?" I suddenly asked.

"No need" tipid niyang sagot.

I nodded in return. Wala ako sa mood para makipag usap pa sa kanya. I'm trying to move on from him para nagkaroon naman ako ng kasiyahan kahit ngayon lang.

"How was your sleep?" He suddenly asked.

I did not bother to answer his question but instead tumayo ako at nag paalam na.

The thing about us is that, kapag may isa sa amin ang wala ng gana ay saka pa magiging sweet ang isa. I directly went to Kernel's room at dahan dahang nag impake sa damit niya. Only for a week kaya mejo di gaanong kadami ang inilagay ko sa bag.

After that, I went to my room and packed my things. Nothing much, sakto lang pang one week.

I heard a knock kaya tumayo ako agad.

"Let's go to Siargao" he declared.

"Why Siargao? You know I can't swim" kunot noo kong sabi.

"We'll just enjoy the view there, di naman tayo maliligo eh" he plainly said.

"Okay" tipid kong sagot.
