Not A Bad Thing (Book One)

Chapter 44 - Brave Enough

It's already been a week since that creepy locker incident happened. Wala na namang kakaiba pang nangyari pagkatapos noon pero hindi pa rin ako mapakali. I feel like someone's watching me and that person is just close to me. That person is near. Well, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Sana nga. But I still hope whoever he or she is, they'll just stop tripping me. 

I'm just trying to get it off from my mind. Hindi naman siguro siya psycho o serial killer diba? Wala lang sigurong magawa iyon sa buhay niya. I'll just let it slip away. Tama, hindi ko na lang masyadong iintindihin 'yon.

It's weekend so I decided to just enjoy the day and forget about all the stress. College life is nothing but stress, buti na lang inspired ako. 

Dumiretso na ako sa outdoor basketball court ng subdivision nila hubby. He sent me a text message that he'll fecth me and we are going to have a date but I told him that I'll go in his place. Naabutan ko siyang naglalaro ng basketball kasama si Louie. They live in the same neighborhood.

He noticed me walking over so he stopped playing and walked towards me. Nung makalapit na siya at magkaharap na kami ay agad niya aking hinalikan sa noo. Kahit pawisan, ang bango niya pa rin.

Dahil alam kong naglalaro siya ay nagdala talaga ako ng sarili kong towel para mapunasan ang pawis niya. Kinuha ko iyon mula sa body bag ko at sinimulang dampian ang mukha at leeg niya. "Napagod ka ba hubby ko? Tara, upo muna tayo." Hinawakan ko siya sa braso at hinila papunta sa bench sa gilid nang court. Nagpaalam na si Louie sa amin at sinabing may lakad pa siya. Nginitian ko siya at tumakbo na siya palayo.

Pagkatapos kong punasan si hubby ay binigyan ko siya ng kiss sa pisngi. Nakakagigil talaga siya. Gusto kong halikan ang buong mukha niya eh. 

"You can kiss me anywhere baby." He chuckled.

"Huh?" Nabasa niya ba ang iniisip ko o nalakasan ko lang ang boses ko?

"Yes." Sagot niya. Shet. Nalakasan ko nga yata.

"You're crazy." Natatawa niya sabi sa akin. Psh. Hubby talaga.

"Oo na, crazy na."

"Yeah you're crazy but you're beautiful and I love you." He is looking directly in my eyes while saying it. My heart is beating so fast.

I always feel like this because of him and I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. I don't think I'll do but I don't care. I wanna stay like this forever.

Umuwi muna si hubby sa bahay nila kasama ko para magpalit and then we decided to go to the mall for our date. Sa totoo lang, ayaw niya pumayag na doon mag date  but I insisted because I really want to watch a movie. It's been a long time since we watched in a movie house together and I feel so excited. 

Pagkatapos naming manood ay dumiretso kami sa isang restaurant para kumain. Kaka-order pa lang namin ay may biglang may lumapit sa aming isang babae. She looks familiar but I don't rememeber where I saw her. Tahimik lang si hubby sa harap ko pero sigurado akong ayaw niya sa presenya ng ibang tao kapag magkasama kami lalo na kapag sa date namin.
