"see you later b." paalam sa akin ni ricci, tumawa lang ako at nagwave sakanya.

"so kayo na talaga?" tanong ni ada, tumango naman ako,

"akala ko si juan?" ada asked again, kumagat naman ako sa chicken burger ko before responding.

"wala eh, basta one day pag kiss ko kay ricci, ayun, tinamaan na ako." kumunot ang noo niya sa sagot ko, pero ada is a quiet person, hindi niya kwekwestiyunin yung mga bagay na satisified naman siya sa sagot.

"alam na ng fans niya?" tanong niya ulit habang naglalakad na kami,

"actually, hindi pa ata." sagot ko, hindi pa naman kami nagsasabi sa ibang tao na kami, unless syempre close friends namin or ka teammates niya.

"gusto mo ba na malaman na nila?" ada asked, nagkibit balikat naman ako.

"mas okay muna siguro na private kami, para wala muna maki alam, Ewan ko. I mean, of course yung fans ni ricci laging andyan for him." I reasoned out, tumango lamang si ada.

We talked about our plans for sunday, may laro kasi ang UP versus Ateneo, hindi naman ako pwede mag dala ng sasakyan kasi nga sasabay kami ni ricci sa up bus. Sabi naman ni ada, na magdadala nalang daw siya ng sarili niyang kotse.

Silence were always a big thing in my friendship with ada, she's the only girl friend I have, the rest ng friends ko puro boys. Ada may be quiet but her love for me speaks louder, mabuting kaibigin si ada,

"lakad kita kay kobe you want?" tanong ko kay ada, ngumiti si ada, fixing her glasses.

"ayoko maissue" she replied,

"huh?" tanong ko because hindi ko magets yung point niya, wala naman girlfriend si kobe.

"sikat kasi siya, and I would very much like to keep my private life." she started, pero mukhang di pa siya tapos so I let her speak.

"gwapo si kobe, yes. Pero madami kasing masasabi yung mga tao pag naging girlfriend niya ako, lahat ng kilos ko mapupuna ng fans niya diba, and baka di rin ako mapakali kasi madami siyang makikilala na mas maganda sa akin." she said, and thay may be the most words she uttered today. Ngumiti ako, she likes kobe and I'll make sure na mag end up sila together.

"bye!" I waved at ada, she waved bacl before driving off. I walked inside the gym kung saan sila nagreready for the sunday game.

Excused sila sa lahat ng klase nila ngayong friday, whole day training sila tas morning bukas.

"hi!" bati ko sa guard, ngumiti lang si kuya.

Umupo ako sa benches habang naglalaro sila, hindi pa siguro ako nakikita ni ricci, so I watched him. Naksunod ang mga mata ko sa bawat galaw niya, he smiled when he saw which made coach bo whistle. Tumawa ako, and I waved back.

Nagstart ako gumawa ng assignments ko habang naglalaro sila. Type lang ng type, para may natatapos ako, pinadala na kasi yung gamit ko sa condo ni ricci so wala na akong problema.

"hi b." ricci approached me, naka palibot sa leeg niya yung fave towel, I pouted my lips so he kissed me.

"pda yuckk" sigaw ni juan, ricci gave him the middle finger.

"di ko fault na taga ateneo jowa mo!" ricci teased back.

"and I ooooppp" sabi ni bright. Tumawa silang lahat while juan pretended to be hurt.

"nood ka ba bukas?" ricci asked me, I looked at him, nakahiga siya playing his phone habang nakaupo naman sa ako bed typing on my laptop,

"oo naman" I replied, he became clingy right away when I said that I'll watch. Yumakap siya so his head was on my lap.

"I love you boss." he said, I ran my fingers through his short hair, which I prefer.

"I love you too." I replied kissing his forehead, he sighed happily.

I was now scrolling through my social media when I realized na tulog na pala siya. I fixed his head and tinaas ko kumot niya,

"thank you love" he said, I smiled and kissed him in the cheek.

"tulog na, maaga pa tayo bukas" I replied and pinatay na yung lamp shade.

He hugged me tighter. Nakatitig lang ako sa mukha niya, light illuminating from outside. how peaceful it was, kung gaano ka gwapo si ricci, And I thanked the lord, that this person was in my life.

I'd do everything to keep him.
