You Belong With Me

"H-hoy!! Gago?!"

"What? You don't believe me don't you? I'll show you how serious I am then"

"Teka nga!" Sabi ko sabay habol sa kanya at hawak sa braso niya

"Ano?! Gretchen I hate seeing your tears! Your family obviously don't see them! They have to be aware!"

"Sandali nga!" Sabi ko sabay hila sa kanya pabalik sa silya

Tahimik lang kami pareho. Tangina parang kanina nagddrama ako bakit ang awkward na????

Nakayuko lang ako ngayon sa tabi niya habang nakatukod and kamay sa tuhod ko. I... I didn't really mean that I don't need help. It's just... new to me.

"S-sorry" yun na lang nasabi ko. "I didn't mean to be mean to you I..."

Nagulat na lang ako when he placed his hands on top of mine

"Gets ko naman Gretchen. Just please... don't push me away?"

"You really want to get your life fcked up don't you?" I asked him

"I'd welcome a fcked up life with open arms as long as it's with you. Stop pushing me away please?"

"Pero-"

"No more buts. Now let's go to your home"

"Heh!! Tumigil ka nga! Kulit tsk! Kumalma ka nga!"

"What?! They made you cry for the nth time!"

"Kumalma ka sasapakin kita kahit gwapo ka 😑"

"Fine. Tsk"

"Una. Hindi ka pwedeng basta basta magpakita sa bahay pwede ba???"

"Why??"

"Rachelle duh? Magffeeling yon na siya pinupuntahan mo. She's unaware that you know me remember?!"

"Then I'll just tell her"

"Ikaw maligo ka nga minsan ng malamig na tubig na may yelo. Napakamainitin ulo di na nag iisip ng tama kairita"

"Bakit na naman??"

"Everyone at home is not in favor of me. Sa tingin mo pag nagalit si Rachelle, ano gagawin non? Magrereklamo kina mama di ba? Pag ako pinaalis sa bahay sidingilin kita ng pangrenta 😑"

"Just live with us then"

"Gago edi mas malala magagawa niyang tsismis? Saken na naman balik masama na naman ako kina mama?"

"You should tell them Gretchen hindi pwedeng laging si Rachelle. Isipin mo sarili mo"

"Alam ko yun okay? Hindi pa lang talaga panahon ha? Kaya pwede utang na loob???? Kumalma ka. Ako ipapahamak mo eh 😑"

"Ugh. Fine" he said surrendering "but the moment I see you cry again hindi mo na ko mapipigilan"

"Tatago na lang ako haha"

"Gretchen!"

"Oo na! Joke lang!"

"Tsk"

"Gigil na gigil naman to lagi nakakaloka"

"Psh"

"Umuwi ka na nga ano ba ginagawa mo dito?"

"I thought of you"

"Huh?"

"Nag-alala ako sayo okay?"

"Ehh? Bakit???"

"Daming tanong Gretch" sabi niya sabay gulo ng buhok ko "we're friends now to say the least, so that's what I can feel, to be worried about you"

"..."

"Alam ko namang magulo ang lahat but I can tell you honestly, I treat you more than a friend especially when I knew who you are. Alam ko hindi kita ganun kakilala, but I wanna know you better, I wanna know the real person I fell in love with, Gretchen"
