Chapter 29 – Support

I rolled over my bed one more time. Shit, hindi talaga ako makatulog. It is already one in the freaking morning, and I have to be up by 6AM tomorrow, or rather later, but I just can't sleep. Nakailang ikot na ata ako sa kama ko pero hindi parin ako dinadalaw ng antok.

Kasalanan ito ni Tobi! Hindi ako makatulog kakaisip sa nangyari sa amin ngayon gabi. I just can't believe it. I've been waiting for the perfect time to say yes, tapos ay ganon ganon niya lang ako napa-oo dahil sa selos ko.

Napailing ako.

Talagang um-oo na ako. Talagang sinasabi ko na mahal ko rin siya. Damn, talagang kami na ni Tobi. Totoong boyfriend ko na siya.

Fuck.

Just the thought of that makes me smile like I'm some crazy person, but at the same time I want to smack him for making a scene earlier.

Malala ka na, Addy.

Napabalikwas ako sa kama ng magring ang phone ko na nakapatong sa side table na nasa kabilang side ng kama ko. Excited, I grabbed my phone. Napangiti ako nang makita ko kung sino ang tumatawag.

"Hello." He said as soon as I answered the call.

Mas lumapad ang ngiti ko nang marinig ko ang boses niya. I know it's only been a few hours since we last talked, but I already miss him, I already miss his voice.

Oh, damn.

"Hi." I answered.

"Please tell me I'm not dreaming." Sabi ni Tobi mula sa kabilang linya.

Tobi and his bedroom voice.

I let out a chuckle. "What?" I asked him. Ano daw?

"This is so surreal, girlfriend ko. I can't sleep, or rather I don't want to sleep. Kasi baka bukas pagkagising ko, panaginip lang pala lahat." Anito.

He said those words with so much sincerity, like he's really afraid that everything that happened tonight is nothing but a dream.

Times like these that I thank heavens for accidentally meeting him and asking him to be my pretend boyfriend that night. I mean, if not for that night, I wouldn't have met such an amazing person. Ni hindi ko lubos maisip na may nag-eexist pa pala na katulad ni Tobi.

"You're not dreaming, boyfriend ko." I told him.

One of the many things I loved about Tobi is that he's really vocal about his feelings. With Tobi, I don't have to second guess—he'll say what is going on with his beautiful mind without me having to ask for it.

That's how I know that he'll always be honest with me.

"Can I go there? I wanna go there. I'll go there." Walang preno nitong sabi.

I shook my head. "Hindi mo naman ako binigyan ng chance sumagot!" Natatawang sabi ko dito. "Wag ka na pumunta, madaling araw na. It's 1:15 in the morning, silly. Bukas nalang."

He sighed on the other end. "But—"

"But what?" Agad kong pagputol dito.

"I miss you." Bumuntong hininga ulit ito.

I smiled. I love how clingy he is at times. Kung paano siya noon, ay ganoon parin ngayon. Kahit mahigit kalahating taon na kami halos araw araw magkasama ay ganoon parin si Tobi.

I guess some things never change. And I hope they never will.

"Addison Grace." Seryosong sabi nito mula sa kabilang linya nang hindi matahimik ang linya.
