Jessie's POV
"Diba sabi ko sa'yo kahapon gusto ko kumain ng fried chicken?"
"But you don't have to disappear like that just to satisfy your cravings. You made us all worried!"
"Bern Anthony tatay ba kita?" nakasimangot na tanong ko sa kanya. Napailing naman siya.
"Oh boyfriend ba kita?" I asked him again. He scoffed before laughing.
"Mas lalong hindi."
Medyo may kirot na hatid yung sagot niya pero keri ko naman.
"So stop lecturing me and let me finish eating. Ako na bahala sa kanila mamaya okay?"
He finally surrendered when I gave him chicken. Tinanggap niya ito at kinain. Now I wonder how we ended up being this comfortable around each other. We were so awkward yesterday but after talking, I'm really convinced that we're better off as friends.
Sinusubukan ko naring kalimutan yung feelings ko para sa kanya. Kasi kung palagi kaming magsasama at magkikita dahil sa barkada, mas maganda kung wala na talaga.
Ayoko ng umasa. I don't want to end up putting meaning to his actions towards me. He's naturally kind and I'm naturally marupok.
Kahit itanggi ko pa, alam ko sa sarili kong hindi ko kayang itago lahat. So instead of hiding it from him, I'm going to erase every pinch of hope left inside me. And I don't want to feel like I'm betraying Irish.
She is THE girlfriend and I'm moving on. So help me God.
So help me God.
Uminom siya sa baso ko na may lamang Coke and I have to remind myself not to think we had an indirect kiss because I'm trying to forget everything.
Nagmomove-on ka gaga!
"Bago ko makalimutan Shane, ano nga pala yung sasabihin mo sana sa'kin kahapon bago tayo tinawag ni Harley? Itatanong ko sana sa'yo kanina eh but you decided to go for an adventure of finding fried chickens kaya hindi natuloy."
And just when I have already made up my mind, he asked that question. Bigla naman akong nalungkot. I can't help but mourn for my supposedly confession yesterday.
I almost told him. ALMOST.
