"So now hindi na talaga ako ang kasama mo? Baka naman sa susunod iwan mo nalang bigla yung account natin kasi gagawa na kayo ng sarili nyo?" Inarte nya,
"Hindi naman noh," I hugged him from behind, "kakalimutan ko na lahat pwera lang sayo,!" Lambing ko,
"Nako dianna shantelle, basta pag hindi mo ako binilhan ng pasalubong lagot ka talaga," sabi nya,
Anyways, kaya naglalambingan kami netong si Marie ay dahil nagpaalam akong gagamit ako ng pera namin., everyones been wondering eversince like, why do we have to ask one another if were gonna use our own money,. Well, simply because we made a deal, that were gonna show everyone that even rich people needs to be disciplined when it comes to money,. Yeah, may ganun kaming effect ng bakla, hindi lang halata., -_- hahahaha
"Thankyou bitch,!,!😊" sabay halik ko sa cheeks nya,
"Yuckk,! Shantelle mag hunus dili ka nga,! Kadiri ka!!!," tili nya sakin habang pinupunasan yung part na hinalikan ko, natawa nman ako, "mamaya ahh,! Chicharon ko chaka lemonade, yung pinaka malaki." paalala nya pa, "oo na nga, alis na me, idadaan ko patong gamit ko sa locker ni Luke,"
"Bruha kasi my locker ka naman bakit kaylangan sa kanya mo pa ilagay?" Tanong nyang my pag irap pa, "kasi po magulo daw yung locker ko," sabi ko, pero ang totoo, babaguhin ni Luke yung lock code non, nalaman nya kasing may ilang nakakapag pasok ng random gifts and letters, tss, seloso hahahaha,.
"Sige na sige na,!what ever, umalis ka na, baka hinahantay ka na ng baby mo, yuck,!" Pagtataboy nya saakin, "babye honeypie,." Then nag flying kiss ako sa kanya, "bye cupcake." Sigaw nya, natawa ako, ilang araw ko na ding hindi naririnig yung tawagan namin ahh,. Busy kasi kami masyado haha,.

"Kanina ka pa dito?" Tanong ni Luke ng makita ako sa labas ng lab nila, "nah, I just came. Galing kasi ako sa locker mo then I bumped with Athena, remember her?" I asked him, "yeah,? The one you give the doccus with, right?" Napangiti ako,,naalala nya talaga yung mga sinasabi ko,
"Why?" He asked curiously,"why what?" Nakangiti kong sagot, "I mean why my baby is smiling?" Tanong nya.
"nothing, Im just happy that you really can recall all the things I say huh?" I smirked,
"is that really how much you love me?" Hinila nya ko palapit sa kanya,
"I dont think so," pag iling nya, sinamaan ko namn sya ng tingin,
"this is just a piece of my love for you, It cant be measured," sabi nya, napangiti naman ako,
"Come on! Lets go shopping," I said to avert the conversation, cause Im really feeling my cheeks turning crimson,.

"Bagay ba to saaki...."
*i found a love, for me
Darling jus,,,,*
He fished out my phone from his pocket, "maries calling," he said,
"Go answer it, ill just try these on," sabi ko then pumasok sa fitting room, I tried fitting the ripped jeans together with the red checkered polo, then lumabas ako, nakita ko si Luke nakaupo sofa near the dresses,
"Why pants?," he asked, "anyway, yung sinabi daw sayo ni Marie, wag mo daw kalimutan," haist, yung baklang yon talaga, hindi matahimik,
"Hayaan mo sya, pasalubong lang sinasabi non," sabi kon "by the way babe, yung wallet ko? Yung pink na card ang gagamitin natin hah." Paalala ko,
"Why? Ako naman magbabayad eh," sagot nya, "No! Yung card namin ang gagamitin ko ngayon kasi nxt week, magdedeposit si papa at si tito ward, papa ni Marie," paliwanag ko, napatingin sya sakin,
"Bat dalawa sila magdedeposit?" He asked, "kasi po pink card was a joint account owned by me, and Marie," i explained
"What? I dont understand," sabi nya habang namimili ng dress, bibilhan nya siguro kapatid nya, "haist,! such a turtle," sinamaan nya ako ng tingin,
"Hahahaha! You see, Me and Theodore was both an extravagant persons, nauubos namin yung allowance ng wala sa lugar, so both our parents agreed to make us an account, at first parusa lang yon kasi isang beses lang nila nilagyan ng pera, imagine? Sa loob ng three months ang pera lang namin ni bakla is twenty thousand? Sobrang bigat nun saamin nung mga times na yon,. Then later on, natuto kami, needs before wants daw," explain ko sa kanya,
"So now, wala nang parusa, ilang taon na din kaming ganon yung money, half ng allowance namin dun dinederetso nila daddy,"
"Wow, I cant believe my ganyang side pala ang baby ko," sabi nya sabay hug saakin,
"Ehem, uh sir, eto na po yung hiningi nyong stocks," singit nung isang sales lady,
"Ahh,. Thanks," tanggap nya "para kanino yan,?" I asked him, "hahaha sayo malamang," then inabot nya sakin yung tatlong dress,
" no way!" Napaatras ako, "theres no way Ill wear something like,,, This?" I emphasize the word 'this'
God ano bang iniisip netong si Luke? I never even tried wearing shorts then now hes asking me to wear dress?
"Why? Whats wrong with these?" He asked, "well, theres nothing wrong but,.,. " hndi ko matuloy yung gusto kong sabihin, "but?"
But I dont wear dress,!" Sabi ko ng nakapikit, "what?" Hes shocked,
"Well, I never really tried wearing dresses or skirts, or even short shorts," pag amin ko, "for real?" I nodded,
"Well, do me a favor. Can you wear something like this?" he said as he showed me a baby pink colored dress,
"No, no no, any favor but that? Its really a no babe,." Tanggi ko, "why? this is how you should dress," sabi nya, " I mean your a girl, its not that kinakahiya kita babe but, sometimes you also need to be a girl, dress like a female, move like a lady," mahabang paliwanag nya,
"Im not changing you, remember that, but I guess I just want people to look at you with an envying respect,"
"Oo nasanay kang walang pakialam sa mga nakapaligid sayo but babe, its not all the time that you can be only by yourself, minsan kaylangan mo ding makibagay sa kanila so they can also be intouch with you," tuloy tuloy nya, napaisip naman ako sa mga sinasabi nya,
"Well, if you really dont like it, then just pick whatev,,,,"
"Andami mong sinasabi mr. Sandoval, whats the catch?" smirk ko sakanya after ko syang halikan,
"Anong whats the catch?" He asked confusely, natawa ako kasi yung lipgloss ko nalagyan sya, kumikinang tuloy lips nya,
"Anong makukuha ko if suotin ko yang mga yan?" Nandidiring tingin ko sa mga hawak nyang dress,
"well, iiwan ko yung sasakyan ko sa bahay nyo ng one week every morning at motor mo ang sasakyan natin everyday?" Tanong nya ng nakasmirk,
Kuminang yung mata ko, "can you make it a month?" Excited kong tanong,
"you can actually make it a year but in one condition," sagot nya, "ano nanaman yon,?" Naiiyak kong sagot,
"Well change your closet?" He said, "what do you mean change?" I asked, "I mean, papalitan mo lahat,. From large shirts magiging small na lang, from joggers to dress, from polo to blouse, from jersey shor.."
"So inshort papalitan mo lahat ng damit ko,?" I cut him off, napatingin sya sakin then "Oo,! in return, hahawakan mo yung kotche ko hanggat kelan mo gusto," nakangiti nyang sagot,! Napaisip naman ako,
"Hmnm? Ok deal,!" Sagot ko, "really? Payag ka,?" Hndi sya makapaniwala, "oo nga, tutal mga luma na din halos lahat ng laman ng closet ko, basta akin si bb ng isang taon ahh,!" Natawa naman sya,
"Ok,. A deal is a deal then," he handed me his car keys,.
Napangiti naman ako, this little deal might look and sounds childish but hell, I knew Ill be needing such courages to fulfill,
"Now go, try these and well get more," pagtulak nya sakin sa fitting room,.
