Makenna's POV:

Monday na naman.

Kahit labag sa loob ko ay bumangon pa rin ako para mag handa sa pag pasok. I did my casual routine and I almost dragged myself  down the stairs. Obviously, I'm not the morning type of person.

I made my way down to the kitchen, and I smiled when I saw him making breakfast. His biceps and broad shoulders flexing everytime he moves.

Liam Gonzales

Don't get the wrong idea. We're not in a relationship, nothing more but bestfriends. Yup, bestfriends.

"Kenna, you're up! Take a seat, I made us breakfast." Sabi ni Liam and he showed his angelic smile habang nag hahain ng makakain namin. He settled in his seat infront of me. I can't help but smile.

His presence is enough to make my day.

Siguro nagtataka din kayo kung bakit nakatira kami sa iisang bubong, It's simply because we want to experience things together.

"Wherever you go, I go."  We promised that to each other.

Both of our families lives in America. My parents and Liam's parents are close, kaya simula ng mga bata pa kami ay nag kasundo kami agad.

We were born and raised in a completely different country. But of course, binibisita namin ang mga kamag anak namin dito sa Pilipinas every now and then.

Liam and I wants to experience living in the Philippines. Syempre, hindi madaling makumbinsi ang mga parents namin but, we were able to convince them at the end.

In one condition nga lang.

We have to look after each other. Our parents trust us enough, that we won't do anything that will cause us trouble. Kaya they decided na tumira na lang kami sa iisang condo, so it won't be a hassle for the both of us.

"How's your sleep? Did you have enough sleep?" Pagsisimula ni Liam ng usapan habang humihigop siya ng kape.

"I didn't get enough sleep. Gusto ko na lang matulog!" Pagmumukmok ko at natawa naman siya. He ruffled my hair at tumayo siya sa pag kakaupo.

"Hurry up, Sleepyhead. Baka ma-late pa tayo sa classes natin." Sabi ni Liam at pumunta siya sa living room para hintayin akong matapos.

I found myself smiling like a lunatic. Kahit ang mga maliliit na bagay na ginagawa niya lang ay sapat na para  mag huramentado ang puso ko. Ganyan ang epekto niya sakin.

Ever since we were little, I knew from the start that I have feelings for him. Maraming beses ko nang sinubukang sabihin sa kaniya yung nararamdaman ko, pero sa huli tumitiklop pa rin ako.

Bakit? Siguro dahil na din sa takot na mawala ang pinagsamahan namin sa matagal na panahon, na baka iwasan niya ako.

People told me na, siguro kailangan kong sumugal. Kailangan kong i take ang risk para malaman kong sagot sa mga tanong ko.

But I can't.

Masyado akong natatakot sa mga posibilidad na pwedeng mangyari. I'm too much of a coward.

Saklap lang no? Bakit sa dami ng pwedeng magustuhan,

Bakit ang best friend ko pa?
