That afternoon I just spend time re-reading my fairytale story books. I love them and I can read them forever. Literally, I'll request to have them in my coffin when I die.
*BLAANG*
Nagulat ako ng biglang may bumato sa bintana ng kwarto ko at nabasag yung salamin sa bintana. Pinulot ko yung bato na nagland sa paa ko and binasa ko yung nakasulat
'Come with me at the mall! Haha XD'
Nainis ako at lumapit para sumilip sa bintana. Nakita ko si Jules na nakatayo sa pavements katapat ng bintana ko, nakatingala sa akin. Binigyan nya ako ng apologetic smile. "Oops, sorry!"
"Are you insane?! You should've texted me!!" sigaw ko sa kanya. Nakakainis! "I don't have prepaid load! Sorry" sigaw nya din sa akin.
"So, are you coming with me?" tanong nya, pasigaw padin sa akin. "NO!!" sagot ko, "why? You're busy reading fairytales?" sabi nya pero yung tono ng pagsasalita nya halatang nang aasar. "No! I mean yes!! You're so annoying, I don't wanna talk to you!!" yan yung last kong sigaw sa kanya tapos umalis na ako sa tapat ng bintana.
"I'm going up there." rinig kong sigaw nya pero hindi ko na pinansin. ilang sandali lang nasa tapat na sya ng pinto ng kwarto ko at walang katapusang kinakatok ito.
Iritang-irita akong tumayo at marahas na binuksan yung pinto ng kwarto ko. "First you broke my window and now you're trying to knock off my door?!" sabi ko sa kanya, she's really getting in my nerves right now.
Another thing about us. I'm short tempered and she has a hobby of pissing me off.
"Whoa, seriously you're like a girl right now, who's PMS-ing. haha.." cool na cool nyang sabi. Hindi talaga ako natutuwa sa kanya ngayon. Somebody stop me, I really want to hurt her, right now.
"What is PMS-ing?!" tanong ko. "You know this thing when girls' getting annoyed at anything? That's PMS. 'Pre-Mentrual Syndrome'" paliwanag nya. "Are you PMS-ing, prince Liam? haha.." here we go again, she's teasing me again! "I'm not!!! You're just soo annoying and you're really pissing me off" sabi ko.
"I'm just kidding. I am really sorry Liam. Its just that I really want you to come with me at the mall. Please?" pagsosorry nya but the authenticity is questionable because she still have this smirk on her face.
"I don't want to" sagot ko, i'm still feel annoyed, and shes not going to get off the hook right away. "What do you want me to do? Tell me, I'll do it." sabi naman nya. She's really pursuasive.
"Why do you want me to come, though?" confuse kong tanong, usually pag magkasama kami sa mall wala naman syang 'fashion advice' na nakukuha sa akin eh.
"It's just that, I really enjoy your company and I want to hang out with you." sagot nya. Napansin ko na naman yung malungkot na expression ng mukha nya. Ewan pero parang nakaramdam ako ng sympathy sa kanya sa hindi malamang kadahilanan. "We can hang out here, if you want." sabi ko naman, yung tone ng boses ko medyo kalmado na.
Tinignan naman nya ako. May something sa mga mata nya na hindi ko malaman. Na nakapagpabilis ng tibok ng puso ko at biglang nakapagpasikip ng pag hinga ko. "Really?" tanong nya. "No, let's go to the mall." mabilis kong response. Hindi ko kasi malaman yung naramadam ko and parang yung kwarto ko parang nagshrink para sa aming dalawa.
Nag frown naman sya sa akin. "You really, is weird. Come on then".
Nagpalit lang ako ng bihis tapos pumunta nadin kami sa mall. "We can buy new clothes for you. You badly need them." sabi nya ng makita nya yung suot ko. Loose Polo shirt in white, pants and a pair of sneakers. "Your look is boring"
When we arrive at the mall, she literally drag me to different boutiques to buy a new set of wardrobe. Seriously for her, my fashion is in state of emergency.
"Magazines don't bite, look at them sometimes." sabi nya. Sa isang boutique pinasuot nya sa akin yung Pastel colored botton up shirt, pair of neutral colored jeans and top sider. Nung lumabas ako ng fitting room her jaw drops, eyes wide, shocked. "Capital O.M.Gorgeous!! You look different, It's like from a 'Boring Prince' you've turn to a 'Royal Hotness'. You improved a lot!! you are major" compliment nya.
I agree! Kung pagkukumparahin, mas maganda nga 'tong suot ko ngayon, kesa kanina. She's right. I don't have a sense of style, I look better now, thanks to her.
She's clapping her hands and her wide smile never leaves her face. And seeing her like that, makes her extra pretty. I can't stop smiling just looking at her. I can't take my eyes off her for a while.
Natapos kaming mamili ng new set of wardrobe ko. Andito kami ngayon sa isang fastfood. Nilibre nya ako. "Jules, you said, you used to believe in fairytales until you don't. What does that mean?" tanong ko sa kanya. Yan kasi yung sinabi nya sa akin habang naglalakad kami palabas ng subdivision one time.
Halatang nagulat sya sa tanong ko, kasi biglang nag iba yung expression ng mukha nya. At biglang bumalik yung lungkot sa mga mata nya. Pero kahit ganun ngumiti sya sa akin. "That was nothing. By the way, I'll introduce you to my parents tomorrow, my friend. As you wish! hehe" pag iiba nya sa topic. May tinatago ba sya? Bakit parang meron?
"Ok. Thank you, by the way, for these," tinuro ko yung mga pagkain sa harap namin. "and for these." tapos tinuro ko yung suot ko.
Ngumiti nanaman sya na sa tingin ko nakapagpa'blush' sa akin, pero hindi ko pinahalata. Hinawakan nya ako sa balikat. "You're always welcome, prince Liam." sabi naman nya.
