The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

Joerish

"Does that mean, tayo na? T-tayo na ba Rish?"

Napangiti ako and then shrugged. Hindi ko kasi talaga alam ang isasagot sa kanya. He looked so happy nung nanalo sila sa football game niya and mas lalo siyang natuwa nung nag-confess ako.

I don't know kung paano ko pa sasabihin ang mga gusto ko pang sabihin sa kanya.

"Does it work like that? I like you and you like me. Uhm... we can be together." I shyly said while playing on my fingers as well.

"Rish, I want a relationship with you."

"And I also want a relationship with you Ryseann."

"So tayo na nga? Girlfriend na ba kita?"

"Yes. Tayo na."

Lumawak pa lalo ang ngiti niya. Niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit kaya sinuklian ko din iyon ng yakap sa kanyang bewang. Sobrang saya pala talaga sa pakiramdam na masabi mo kung gaano mo kagusto ang isang tao.

But what's happier for me is that papasok kayo sa isang relationship with the person you really want.

I know I wanted to be with Ryseann.

"But... you know my condition right? I can't have boyfriends before 18? Will it be okay if we'll hide it first?" I asked.

"Willing akong mag-antay Rish. Kahit makatapos ka pa ng college bago mo sabihin. Mag-aantay ako. I am so happy Rish."

"And I am happy too."

Nakita kong nag-aabang na yung ilang teammates niya sa gilid. Their coach was also there pero nandito kami magkayakapan. I have a boyfriend now but I want to stay lowkey muna sana!

Wala muna sanang makakaalam cause I don't know how to face my family pa.

But I can't wait to turn 18!

I can't wait yo introduce my boyfriend to everyone!

"I think they're waiting for you na. Go ka muna doon." Nakangiti kong sabi.

"Okay. I'll see you soon. Chat ka ah."

"Yeah. Take care!"

May awarding pa kasi mamaya kung saan isa-isa silang masasabitan ng medal. After that, they'll be having their victory party din daw na exclusive lang sa kanila. He badly want to bring me there but I refused to.

I want him to celebrate their triumph first with the whole team.

We can spend some other time lalo pa't may movie date pa naman kami.

Oh my gosh!

I can finally proclaim that it's a date!

Sabado ngayon and as promised, mamaya na kami manonood ng movie ni Ryseann. I asked Irene and Jessica to come over first kasi hindi ko na rin mapigilan ang nararamdaman ko. Actually, mixed emotions kaya hindi ko maintindihan!

I know they would give me good advices since experienced na sila, while this is just my first!

I am afraid that I might not handle the relationship very well! Paano kung mapagod sa akin si Ryseann? Paano kung sa umpisa ko lang siya mapasaya? Paano kung magsawa siya sa akin because masyado akong makulit and attitude at times?
