Chapter Eight

CHAPTER EIGHT: I LIKE YOU

What a day. Finally, it's the end of the week. It's Friday and I can finally have some fun with Rina for this weekend. Nakakabwiset ang NEO especially this week has been really weird for me. I can't handle this. It was my first time actually being able to look at a man's body.

Yes, Ares' body was like a man's body. Is it weird na talagang nagandahan ako sa katawan niya? Pagkatapos non, talagang tumakbo na lang ako dahil di ko kinaya itong nararamdaman ko. 

It's just a body. It's just a body! Nothing else! It's not a big deal! Nakita ko naman na ang katawan ni Quinten so at this point it's not a big deal! Quinten sucks anyway, speaking of Quinten kanina ko pa hinhintay yung pizza na pinapabili ko sa kanya. Lumabas ako sa kwarto ko at agad na hinanap ang kwarto niya across my room.

"Genevieve," tawag niya sakin, nakita ko siya sa hallway na may dala dala ding beer na ikinagulat ko. "Why did you bring some beer here? Paano kung malaman ni dad?" tanong ko sa kanya, ngumiti lang siya sakin as he pinched my cheeks before giving the box of pizza to me,.

"Nag-aalala ka ba, princess?" he said, teasingly. Muntanga din itong gagong ito eh. 

"Seriously, Quinten? You're disgusting!" I said at him, "Wag mong sabihing hindi ka pa naka-inom nung nasa America ka pa," tawa niyang sabi ulet sakin. I lived in America for years and I admit, he's right.

Naka-inom na ako dati. "Then I'll drink with you then," I said, smirking. 

Pumasok ako sa loob ng kwarto niya habang dala-dala ang pizza ko at ang phone ko sa kwarto niya.

His bed is such a mess like his mother. "Are you sure?" he asked, raising my eyebrow.

"I'm turning eighteen next year, are you kidding me Quinten?" I told him.

He's so annoying. Umupo ako sa bed niya and turned his tv on para manood ng movies. 

"Komportable ka na agad huh," he said, opening the beers. At this point, I just wanna have fun. Kinuha ko ang beer mula sa mini table at ininom agad yun. I need to seriously calm down, this is probably a joke.

"Woah... okay ka lang? Baka malasing ka!" he said, worried.

Tumingin ako sa kanya while I opened my box of pizza, "At this point gusto ko na lang malasing at makalimot for this week please just let me be Quinten and quit acting like a KJ!" I told him.

"Ayos ka lang ba, genevieve?" tanong niya ulet tsaka umupo sa tabi ko. At this point I don't even know anymore!

"Hey..." he leans in to me and played with my hair, "Quinten..." siguro mas alam niya itong problema ko.

I don't want to think of this as my problem but what Rina told me has been bothering me and lalo na yong nararamdaman nitong dibdib ko sa tuwing nakikita ko siya.

His body... I can't... "How would you know kung may gusto ka sa isang tao?" I said tsaka napahawak sa mismong dibdib ko while biting my bottom lip. Maybe Quinten knows.

He stared at me for a while at di ko napigilan ang titig niya tsaka tumingin sa kanya, "Just answer my damn questi—" hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko ng sagutin niya ako, "Kapag hindi mo mapigilan ang puso mo at ang nararamdaman mo." He said. Puso?

"Malalaman mo lang na may gusto ko sa tao dahil ikaw lang ang nakakaalam," he added. Ako lang ang makakaalam nang nararamdaman ko para kay Ares but I'm scared about what I actually feel about him.
