I Fall, He Fall

Chapter 16

What is yours not literally yours.

Gazel and I, are a bit busy these past few days. Kailangan kasi naming magcomply ng mga projects para mabigyan na kami ng grades ng mga Teachers namin. Isang buwan nalang at gagraduate na kami and hello summer and college life! I am so excited to grow fast because of Calix. Gusto kong magmatured agad para mapantayan siya. Ayaw kong sabihin ng iba na bata pa ako para dito. Naiinsecure ako everytime I see matured girls talking to him. Pakiramdam ko ay hindi ko mapantayan ang standards nito sa mga babae. But of course, tatanda rin ako and I cannot wait for that. Oh my gosh, I am so into him! I smiled.

"You are smiling like an idiot Bhabe! You are so creepy!" Gazel exclaimed.

"You are so in love with Kuya Calix, Love," Deiry seconded.

Napailing ako sa kanilang dalawa. Nandito kami ngayon sa café, having a small catch up after not seeing for a few days. Hindi rin kami gaanong nagkikita ni Calix and I so missed him already. Maybe, I should visit him in their house? He is trying to visit me in school, but I do not have much time to see him long and talk to him. Siguro, bumawi naman ako sa kanya? Okay.

"Anong status niyo ni Kuya, Love?" she curiously asked.

I gasped. Status? Oo nga ano? Ano ngaba? Hindi ko naman masasabi na kami dahil hindi ko siya sinagot at hindi rin naman siya nagtanong ulit kaya hindi ko narin inopen pa. I am contented with our status right now. We do understand each other, and the feeling is mutual maybe that was fine for me.

"M.U?"

They both laugh at me. My brows furrowed because I did not get the reason why they laughed at me.

"What?!"

"Seriously Bhabe? Uso sa'yo ang M.U? Not so you Niece Krizzle Eldefundo!"

Bakit? Iyon naman ang uso diba? At saka ayokong magmadali. I want to take it slow and know him more. I am serious with him at saka hindi na ito laro para madaliin ang lahat.

"Ayaw mo ng label, Love? For security purposes. You know, maraming babaeng umaaligid kay Kuya."

She smirked.

Security purposes? What? Para ano?

"No. I am contented with what we have right now, Love."

They nodded and a smile crept on their faces.

We parted ways after that talk and decided to buy a cake for Calix. Bibisitahin ko siya ngayon at sabi ni Deiry ay mag-isa lang ito sa bahay nila. Carix is out of town, kaya dalawa lang sila ang naiwan.

I am smiling the whole time, thinking that we are going to have time together. I really missed him!

"Hey, Kriz!"

"Shit!"

I startled when I saw Kiro beside me, wearing a cap and a disguised look. Tiningnan ko siya ng masama dahil sa ginawa niya. I just the dropped the cake I bought for Calix! Damn him. Even though I was his fan, still he should have not startled me!

"Look what you've done!"

"Sorry. I didn't mean too." He looks apologetic and get the cake on the floor but it's too late. Hindi na maayos ang loob nito! At kasalanan niya.

"I will buy you one."

"You should!" I am so irritated now. Kung hindi niya sana ako ginulat edi sana nadala ko na ang cake kay Calix. At ngayon mukhang matatagalan pa'ko sa pagpunta sa bahay nila.
