Head Over Feet

Agreement

A/N :  Fiction po! Also, 4.0 is the highest grade in DLSU, and 1.0 is the lowest, 0.0 of course is fail. Haha just in case malito kayo sa hirit ni RJ.

I'm sorry. Dei. Please? Nabigla lang ako.     RJ texts her after his numerous unanswered calls.

7:01 am

Kumain ka na?

7:15am

I miss you.

7:30am

Defense na namin maya maya. Wish me luck?

RJ puts his phone in silent mode as they wait for their panel.

After a few hours of  intense discussion, the 3 boys in full formal suits came out of the room with wide grins on their faces.

"Sa wakas potah wooooh!" Je shouts as they all jumped in the air.

"Graduation naaaaa!" Tuns pushes both of them with excitement.

"Sure ka bang pasado ka sa iba mong subjects?" RJ heartily laughs as he punches Tuns.

"Oo naman kapal ng mukha mo baka ikaw ang may bagsak dyan! Hahaha!"

"Gago good boy to noh, kwatro all the way!" Just as RJ takes off his coat, he catches a glimpse of Dei down the hall on her way to her next class.

"Teka pare ha. Pahawak nga neto." RJ shoves his laptop towards Je and runs to Dei.

"Dei! Dei!.... Uh, Ms. M!"

"Yes Mr. Faulkerson, what is it?"

"Uh..."    RJ stutters as he looks around the halls filled with students and professors walking around hurriedly to their destinations.

"Hi." *cough* "Uh, were you able to receive my texts.... po?"

"I will have to check." Dei answers, as she starts walking away to her classroom. RJ walks beside her.

"Defense namin kanina."

"That's good. How was it?"

"Okay naman, pasado. minor revisions, pero pasado na."

"Congratulations Mr. Faulkerson." she smiles slightly. "Now go on your way, I have a class."

"I love you." He whispers as he leans forward.

Dei looks at him and sighs. Her eyes are gleaming as she tries to hold her grin.

"Go. Celebrate with your thesis mates. Talk to you later." Dei whispers back as she goes to class leaving RJ by the door.

________________________________________________________________________________

It was 11:00pm and still no Dei in sight. No messages, no answers to his calls, and no replies to his texts.

Half drunk and feeling heartbroken, RJ rushes to Dei's condo unit only to find her in at the dining room all engrossed in her laptop with a pile of books and journals spread out on the table, and the television on in the background.

"Dei." RJ says firmly as he walks up to her.

"Uy, Jay--? Oh, you're... drunk? Wait.... Wai-mmphh"    RJ kisses her senseless and carries her off the chair to the bed, slamming the door behind him.

Never mind that Dei's sister is on the couch just trying to focus on the TV.

Yel tries hard to drown out the noise that's going on behind her sister's closed doors by turning up the TV's volume but to no avail. She decided to get her keys to the unit and to go out for an iced coffee in the nearby coffee shop downstairs. "Kailangan daw nya ng kasama. Ayan na yung kasama. Sa kama. Kaloka." Yel says to herself as she closes the door.
