A Night to Forever

Lance's POV

I was at Nate's condo talking to Luna... How ironic that I was talking to the girl I like about herself without her noticing it.

Yup you heard it right. I like Luna... I really like her from the first time na ipakilala sya samin ni Kyle nagustuhan ko na sya but I can't make her mine just because I can't

I came back to my senses when she snap her fingers in front of me

" What happened to you Lance? Babae na naman yan no?"- seryoso nyang tanong

" Yup babae nga.. bakit ganun baby girl kung sino pa yong gusto ko yon pa yong hindi pwedeng maging akin"- seryoso kong sabi

" Tsk. Tsk. Mukhang serious matter nga ito... Kasi seryoso ka eh... "- sabi nya habang tinatap ang shoulder ko

" Baliw ka talaga... Seryoso naman ako sayo lagi eh "- pabiro kong sabi sabay wink sa kanya

Binatukan nya ako

" Paano kita nyang siseryusohin eh parang kang baliw "- sagot nya at nakasimangot na sya

Mabilis syang mairita at maiinis pero yon ang gusto ko sa kanya... Kasi kahit ganon mababaw naman ang kaligayahan nya at napakacaring nyang tao

" Ito naman naglalambing lang eh. Pero bakit nga ganun Luna... Bakit hindi ka pwedeng maging akin?"- seryoso kong sabi na nakapagpatulala sa kanya

" W-what did you say?"- gulat nyang tanong

"Sabi ko bakit hindi ka pwedeng maging akin?"- pag-uulit ko pa

" Nababaliw kana Lance. Tinatanong ng seryoso tapos pagtitripan lang ako "- inis nyang sabi

I wanna tell her I'm not joking... I wanna tell her that it was my real question pero I just can't especially ngayon na sya pala yong future wife ni Nathan

" Joke lang naman baby girl "- mahina kong sabi sabay kurot sa pisnge nya

" Ano ba kasing pinagdaanan mo? You know you're a very close friend to me right... At ayaw kong malungkot ka because I love you you also know that... Kaya sabihin mo na sino ba ang nambasted sa fave friend ko"- sabi nya

Her words really makes my heart skip a beat. Her smile... Those eyes... The way she tell me how she loves me as a FRIEND

I hugged her tight cause I feel like it will be my last chance to do this... I didn't say a word instead she hugged me back until Nate enters the room

" Hey!"- sabi nya dahilan para magkalas kami sa pagkakayakap ni Luna

I can see the jealous and shock evident in his face. Can't blame him Luna is easy to love... Tumayo ako at sinalubong sya

" Ui anjan kana pala Nate... I know she's yours but she's still my bestfriend so I hope you don't mind "- sabi ko sa kanya

" I won't mind Lance. Nakakainggit lang na you two are so close samantalang sakin ang stiff nya... She still calls me Sir Nathan "- sagot ni Nathan sakin

" Just be patient bro... It takes time para maging comfortable sya sayo "- sagot ko

I help him prepare the snacks and the beverages tsaka kami dumiretso sa sala. Luna is watching cartoons

" Oh anjan na pala kayo. Sir-- I mean Nathan sorry ha nakialam na ako sa TV nabobored na kasi ako eh "- sabi ni Luna

" No problem... "- sagot ni Nathan

So nagsimula na kaming uminom. Luna is on the couch kami ni Nathan nasa sahig nakaupo. We're drinking beer

" So baby girl, bakit ka pala andito? Diba may pasok ka ?"- tanong ko

" Ah yon ba. Nikks told me na walang classes today. Eh since nakisabay lang ako kay Sir Nathan sabi nya samahan ko sya sa office eh kasi nagbago isip nya so ito andito ako "- sagot nya sabay lagok ng beer

" Ah I see... You two are getting married right?"- tanong ko ulit trying to be cool kahit deep inside it hurts me

" Ha? Oo bakit mo naman natanong?"- nagtataka nyang sagot

" Why are you still calling him Sir? "- tanong ko pa ulit

" Lance, it's all for papers at isa pa I'm still adjusting mamaya matawag ko syang Nathan sa school issue pa yon. So for the meantime Sir na Lang muna HAHAHA "- sagot nya

" Eh ikaw ba bro bakit ka talaga napadalaw?"- seryosong tanong ni Nathan

" One word. Babae "- simple kong sagot tsaka ko tinungga ang beer na hawak ko tsaka nagbukas ng panibago

" What about babae?"- tanong nya ulit

" Kasi nga bro the girl I love can't be mine "- sagot ko ulit

" Aww poor Lancey "- sabi ni Luna sabay pisil ng pisnge ko

" Bakit?"- tanong ni Nathan

" Because I just can't... Bago ko pa sya nakilala nakaplano na syang ipakasal sa iba... So even if I try wala ring mangyayari "- malungkot kong sagot

" If you really love her fight for her. Atleast once in for all nasabi mo sa sarili mong you have tried diba kesa sa hinayaan mo na lang mawala"- singit ni Luna

" It's not easy Luna "- sabi ko pa

" Lance, I know... We all know... Fighting for love is never easy... Minsan talo minsan panala... But that's the reality of love... Ang important sumubok ka... "- sabi nya pa ulit

" Si baby girl talaga mukhang may hugot "- pagbibiro ko

" Baliw. I'm giving you advise for the nth time now Lance... Pero you still came back to me with the same issues "- masungit nyang sabi sakin

I give her a weak smile

" Luna I really appreciate you being around... Its just that it's too hard I don't know where to start "- sagot ko sa kanya

" Lance think of it. If you really love that girl give it a shot. Malay mo hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. Malay mo makuha ko pa sya. Take the risks... Pagnabigo ka bumangon ka and tell yourself... Atleast you've tried diba... Wala kang what ifs... Wala kang regrets "- sabi nya

I smiled at her. I really wanna tell her na it's her kaso this ain't the right time... Magiging magulo ang lahat... Sa ngayon I can't afford to lose her... Okay na muna ako sa ganto...

" Thank Luna... You're the best... Kaya love kita eh "- sabi ko tsaka ko sya yinakap ulit

" Baliw... Ako lang naman kasi nakakatagal sayo "- sabi nya while tapping my back

" Eh kasi nga love mo ako "- sabi ko

Natawa lang sya tsaka bumitaw sa pagkakayakap

I can see the reaction on Nathan's face.... Pero sa ngayon focus muna ako kay Luna... I need her presence to calm my heart...
