Letting Go (Broken Girls Series #1)

Chapter 14

I followed him back on instagram when I got home. Balak ko rin sana na sa twitter rin kaso he did not follow me so I don't want to make the first move. Ifollow back ko rin siya yun ay kung ifo-follow niya ako.

A chathead popped.

Vincente Lhor David: Are you home?

Oh gosh. Agad ko iyong binuksan, I've never opened a message this fast my entire life. Kahit pa mga magulang ko ang mag message sa akin ay hindi ko kaagad iyon binubuksan.

Now I regret opening it right away. I don't know how to reply. Ano ba ang magandang ireply? Should I say hi first? But he didn't say hi!, I like ko na lang kaya? Bobo ka V? Mas bobo iyon!

Wait, how do I address him ba? Do I have to say Kuya? Shit. Ni hindi nga ako nagku-kuya sa kanilang dalawa ni Luigi eh, kay kuya Bryan lang! he and Luigi is just a year older so okay naman iyon diba? kuya Bry is two years older kasi. Besides, Chanel doesn't call him kuya sina Jethro rin naman.

What if I reply: Yes Kuya.

and then he will reply: Ang pangit naman ng kuya. Kapatid ba kita?

Shit ano nangyayari sa akin?. Will he say that? How will I know If I won't try diba? Oo tama ang talino ko talaga. So yun nga ang tinype ko.

Ako: Yes kuya.

wala pang ilang segundo ay nakikita ko na ang icon na nagsasabing he's typing.

I feel like I'm turning red. Umiinit na rin ang pakiramdam ko. I closed the chat head and relaxed my self before opening it again.

Vincente Lhor David: Really?

Anong really? Hindi siya naniniwala na nakauwi na nga ako?

Ako: You don't believe me?

Vincente is typing...

Vincente Lhor David: I can't believe that you just called me kuya.

Yun lang? Edi I'm sorry naman for just being polite, baka kasi ano nanaman masabi mo eh.

Ako: Sorry your'e older kasi *peace sign*.

Vincente Lhor David: talaga

Ako: Toto naman ah?

How should I act? Konti na lang talaga Vince I'm really going to think na may gusto ka sa akin. I got eyes and I'm definitely not blind, I'm neither stupid too. But maybe,  I'm just assuming things.

What if it's the other way around? Ako nga talaga ang may gusto sa kaniya?  that's why I keep on giving meaning to things that doesn't really mean anything?.

Galing sa paghiga, umahon ako at umupo sa kama tsaka binitawan muna ang cellphone. Ginulo ko ang aking buhok.

Oh no, magpinsan nga talaga kami ni Chanel. I'm getting assuming. Pero kasi may ipinapahiwatig talaga ang mga kilos niya eh. I'm still going to push that reason.

I find his actions obvious but I'm oblivious with my own. Or I'm in denial.

Kung alin man diyan ang totoo, one thing is for sure. Either one of us like the other. Is it me? or It's him? Fuck paano kung gusto namin pareho ang isa't isa?

Hoy, Ikaw si Veronica hindi ka si Chanel so please huwag kang feeling! I reminded myself at ginulo ulit ang buhok.

Napatingin ako sa cellphone ko na umilaw nagpapahiwatig na may nag message.

5 messages from random boys and 3 from Vincente Lhor David, I opened his message ng kinakabahan at may kauntimg excitement.

Vincente Lhor David: Don't call me kuya.
