Sweetest Taste of Life

Chapter 14

Since the day he courted me, he never failed to make efforts. From Goodmorning message to Goodnight message, waiting me in front of the university, picking me up during snack break, joining me lunch, tutoring me my lessons and throwing sweet lines. It really makes me believe in something.

He's giving me goosebumps and butterflies. I'm beginning to fall or did I already fell for him?

Kapapalit ko lang ng damit kong pantulog ng tumawag si Sparsh sa Messenger. I opened my camera so I can see him.

"When will I hear your yes, Shanaya?" he asked while eating crackers.

"Why? Hindi mo na ba kayang maghintay?" I asked back habang inaayos naman ang buhok ko.

"No. Kaya kong maghintay kahit gaano pa katagal. Ilang buwan man o taon, I can" he said.

He's wearing a black headband and he's topless. I guess he's fresh from bath. He's too handsome not to stare. He's so hot!

"What if mahal ko pa si Jared?" I asked him.

"What if matututunan mo rin akong mahalin? Coz Shanaya, I'll make sure you'll fall for me not with somebody" and then he smiled.

Goodness, bakit ka ngumiti Sparsh? You're being more handsome.

"Shan, knock knock!" he's going to punch a line. I want to ride with it.

"Who's there?" I replied.

"Sarang" he said while he smile.

"Sarang who?" I replied again.

"Saranghaeyo" He said tapos ngumiti ng napakalawak.

Ako ba'y kinikilig? I feel my face is burning right now.

"Knock knock again!" shit! May isa pa?

"Who's there?" I replied again.

"I" huh? I lang?

"I who?" I asked.

"I love you" What the fuck! His lines.

Para akong tanga na tinatakpan ang mukha ko coz' I know my face is all red now. I'm blushing!

"You're so cute when you blush. Look at me" he exclaimed while laughing.

I looked at him and my eyes widen when I saw his body. His flex muscles and his abs, Goodness! Bakit ang init?

"Done staring? Goodnight Shanaya! You can dream of my body" and he ended up the call.

Umabot pa yata ng isang minuto bago ako makarecover. I giggled at gumulong-gulong sa kama.

"Hoy Aya, para kang baliw na ngumingiti diyan" tapik sa akin ni Sapiro. Panira!

They announced that our grades will come out today. Ang saya ay napalitan ng nerbyos. What if I failed? I don't want to disappoint my parents. Tanggap ko na, na dapat kong mahalin ang course na ito at wag hangaring kumuha ng education. Sparsh taught me to love it so I did.

And when my phone vibrated, mas lalo akong kinabahan. I can also feel it with Sapphire. She's nervous.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
Pinikit ko ang mata ko ng pindutin ko ang message.
