Loving My Best Friend (KAM) (Mossland's Affairs series #1) ✔️

10

"What the hell was that, Alejandro? Hindi pwedeng kada halik mo, hahalikan rin kita. Hindi tama to," sigaw ko. Nasa labas na kami ng bahay ni Althea. Pinilit kong lumabas dahil nakakahiya makipag-away sa kaniya habang nakatingin ang lahat sa'min. Gusto ko na ring umuwi. 

"Best friends lang naman tayo diba?" pagtatanong ko. I don't know but I was so nervous. Hindi ko na alam ano 'tong nararamdaman ko. I was already overthinking. These emotions were overwhelming me. He rejected me kaya fourth year high school and that was my first rejection. Ayoko ko nang ulitin kung anong nangyari. 

"Hindi ko alam," he honestly answered. He groaned and gripped his hair so tight. I closed my eyes and tried to relax in this situation. 

"W-what?" why the hell am I feeling this way. I must have crossed eyes since I can focus on him and him only, no? For almost 2 decades, siya lang. 

"Mas okay ako noong one sided lang, hindi ganito. Ano ba? Gusto mo ba ako o hindi?" pag magtatanong ako nang ganitong tanong, tatawa siya pero wala e. 

"Sagot!" tinapik ko na dibdib niya. Nagulat nalang ako noong sumigaw na siya at hinawakan niya ang mga braso ko. 

"Oo na!" pagsigaw niya. Ba't kinikilig ako? Nakakakilig naman. 

"Walang halong joke, right?" I was just making sure pero ang tingin niya sa akin ay parang may mali akong sinabi. The looks of surgeons when you give the wrong tool. Parang ganoon ang mukha pero gwapo parin. 

"W-what?" he looked at me when I held his chin so he can face me. 

"Sus, pakipot ka pala e. Since when?" tanong ko. Kinikilig ako. Gusto ko mag celebrate. Gusto ko mag handa ng napakaraming pagkain at magpa-party. 

"I realized it the day before I kissed you and maybe, just maybe, I wanted to see if that kiss would prove it," halatang-halata na nangblush siya dahil namumula ang tenga niya. 

"gusto mo ako—"

"Oo na nga, paulit-ulit?" tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. Di pa ako tapos magsalita, sir. Hintay lang.

"do you like me or love me?" my hands were sweating right now. It's like asking your crush out for a date or something. Maybe even worse than that. 

"we'll see," ngiti niya bago niya ako hinatak papalapit. Geez, I never knew he's that clingy. 

"I can wait. I waited 14 years for you to tell me that you like me. I'll wait, no matter how long it takes," sambit ko bago niya ako hinatid pauwi.

Two weeks came by and I could not see any progress. I think that's because we're best friends and we know each other so we don't need to do dates and get to know each other thing. We got rid of our boundaries. That's the only progress that we did for the past month.
