Jem's POV

"Jem, magusap muna kayo ng mga pinsan mo doon. May paguusapan lang din kami ni Mr. and Mrs. Montero." Ani dad na sinunod ko naman agad.

Ang dami talagang nandito ngayon, parang mapupuno nating cafe. The cafe actually isn't that small... Well, it may look small from the outside though.

I was busy chitchating with my cousins ng bigla namang sumulpot si Aiden sa gilid ko.

"Wazzup cousins?" At inakbayan ako.Ang lokong to talaga. Gago wag kang paasa!

Nagkatinginan naman sila bago kami puno-in ng tanong.

"Are you two together?"

"Since when?"

"I totally support the both of you"

"Congrats"

"When's the marriage?"

Those were the only ones I've heard dahil nga ang iingay nila.

"Hey guys, just chill. We're not yet together but—" Hindi na niya pinatuloy ang sasabihin at napahawak siya sa ulo at napamura nalang."Shit"

"Are you.... okay?" He then, looked at me with a smile on his face. Sumasakit ang ulo niya at wala siyang balak na sabihin sakin?

"Wait, I think may dala ako dito...."  and looked for the pill that fit just right in this situation. I got it and gave it to him" I don't have any medicine for headaches but I hope this will work. Hindi ka naman nilalagnat nung hawakan kita kanina."

He was a little shock at first but... What's there to be shocked about? But that expression fade away as quick as the struck of lightning and a beautiful smiling expression of his face was the only thing that's visible.

And when our eyes met. I couldn't understand what I felt. Pinag halong saya at takot ang nararamdaman ko. I felt na parang sadabog na ang puso ko.

Yes, when I'm with Adrien, I always feel at ease and happy l. But maybe I'm still scared to fall in love again... I'm still scared to be hurt because of Love.

Nakatingin parin kami sa isa't-isa hagang sa unti unting lalapit ang mga mukha namin at napatingin ako sa mga labi niya.

He don't smoke kaya kitang-kita ang medyo kapulahan sa kanyang labi.

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko.

Our face were just inches closer, when I felt his nose touch mine. The sensation made my eyes close. Hanggang sa naramdaman ko nalang ang kanyang mga labi saakin.

Our kiss last a little longer pero isa lang ang alam ko— hindi ako makatingin sa kanya.

"Jaz..." pagtawag niya ngunit nagpatuloy parin ako sa pagbingi-bingihan.

He called my name a few more times pero deadma ko lang siya.

"If you won't look at me, I'll kiss you again"pananakot niya.

I look at him. His face was red as a tomato, I want to tease him but surely mine is just as red as his.

"What?" I answered in a minimum tone.

"There's been something that's bothering me. And I've always wanted to tell you this"

"Jem, you're the nicest person I know, You're funny and sometimes clumsy. But that may be the reason why I fell in love with you..."

I was speachless. I couldn't find anyword. My heart was beating faster and loudly.

"Jazmine Ellaine Monique Fuentabella will you be my girl?" At walang sabi-sabing lumuhod siya at inilabas ang maliit na box na may laman na singsing. "Will you?" Tanong niya ulit

"But, Adrien. I just fall out of love. Kakalabas ko lang sa isang relationship"

"Then it's okay. If You don't feel the same, I'll make you fall for me. I'll do everything I can. I can be your lover, your bestfriend at the same time, his replacement." The last sentence made my heartbreak. I would never...

"Stand up." At first he was hesitant but decided to do what I said. " I would never. Never in this lifetime would see you as his replacement. And you don't need to make me love you." I said when he already stood up.

"I may have been falling already..." ani ko sa sarili.

"What? Could you please say that again?" He asked, his face brightened up.

I took a slightly deep breath before saying the words "Yes Adrien Montero, I'm willing to be your girl."

And the night ended that way, two people in love...
