The Magnetic: Loving The Womanizer

Chapter 7

Chapter 7: "I want nothing but the best for you, I really do, it's just that sometimes I wish that the best for you was me."

Sometimes I just get amazed at how fast the time flies. It felt like it was only yesterday when I was secretly stealing glances at him. Who would've thought that we'd still be together after almost two years? 

Vash has been such a loving and caring boyfriend. He's the sweetest. He loves giving me surprises. He always makes me feel special. He never missed any special events. Mahilig din siyang mag-regalo kahit walang espesyal na rason. Kapag tinatanong ko siya kung para saan iyon, ang lagi niyang sagot ay, 'no reason. I just wanna give you something.'

Pero hindi rin naman perpekto ang relasyon namin. May mga tampuhan kami pero laging mababaw lang. Madalas ay siya ang sumusuyo kahit ako ang may kasalanan. He spoils me a lot. 

Masaya kami. Kung may naging problema man kami ay hindi sa aming dalawa. Kundi sa mga taong nakapalibot sa amin. During our first few months together, naranasan kong pagtaasan ng kilay at tarayan ng mga schoolmates ko. And only because they couldn't accept the fact that Vash and I are together. 

They said A Ryker Vash Villarioz didn't deserve to be with a nobody like me. They didn't like me for him. The most painful thing they said about me was that I was just after his money. But it wasn't true. I never cared about his money nor the fact that he came from an influential family. For me he was just Vash, the man I love.

Iniyakan at dinamdam ko iyon. But Vash remained strong for us; he comforted me and became my fortress. He defended me from those shallow people. Nakita ko kung gaano niya ako kamahal. And because of that, I learned to ignore everything that didn't matter.  

They know nothing about me nor my relationship with Vash. Dahil sa kanya ay naging mas matatag at matapang ako. Sa mga mata niya ay nakita ko ang totoong halaga ko. He gave me confidence and made me love myself. 

"Have I told you how proud I am of you, mahal?" he said one day while we were hanging out at the park, eating dirty ice cream.

Kunwari ay nag-isip ako. "Hmm.. many times?" I said with a giggle.

He smirked. "I just feel so proud of your accomplishments. Man. You're even running for valedictorian!" Ngumiti ako ng matamis. "On the day of your graduation, I'll be there with a banner, mahal."

Napanganga ako sa sinabi niya. "Mahal naman!" Mahina ko siyang hinampas. "Please lang. Huwag naman. Nakakahiya!"

He raised his brow. "Ganyanan na tayo, mahal? Ikinakahiya mo na ako ngayon? Samantalang dati ini-stalk mo pa ako."

I gasped. "Yabang nito!"

He laughed. "Tell me it's not true," he said teasingly.

Umingos ako at inirapan siya. How could I deny it when we both knew it was true. "Diyan ka na nga! Uuwi na lang ako."

Akmang tatayo na ako ng mabilis niya akong hinawakan sa kamay at hinila paupo. I ended up on his thighs. He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a peck on the cheek. "You're so sensitive sometimes, mahal."

Pabiro ko siyang inirapan. Napatili na lang ako ng pugpugin niya ako ng halik sa mukha. Sa huli ay nagkatawanan na lang kami. Sa halip na umuwi ay nag-roadtrip pa kami. We had no particular destination. We just drove around while listening to music in his car. 

I remembered when he got his first car, ako agad ang pinuntahan at isinakay niya. We just drove around that day. 

"Mahal, stop the car!"
