Pretty Much
Chapter Forty-five
When we agreed to turn this around, we really meant it. In a span of weeks, maraming pagbabago ang nangyari. Naging mas open kami sa isa't isa. We talked almost everything about ourselves.
Like me, JC wanted to start anew. In my case, I chopped off things that are pulling me down before really jumping forward. But him? He wanted to make peace with it before moving on.
"Can you just tell me where we're going, bae—I mean, April?"
"Malapit na," nakangising sagot ko. It feels really weird to hear him call me by my name. 'Di pa nasasanay ang pandinig ko. "Bakit? May gagawin ka ba?"
"No, just plain curious." Inayos niya ang strap ng duffel bag niya at tinanaw kung nasa'n na kami.
Although he has a car, nagpumilit akong mag-commute na lang para kontrolado ko. I snatched him right after his training so I have to make this successful.
There are few people inside No Scrubs when we entered kaya maganda ang timing namin. Sa coffee shop sana kaya lang ginawang library ng mga estudyante. Dito lang ang place na medyo may privacy at hindi loaded ang tao.
Natanaw kong nakaupo sa dulo si JC kaya tumungo kami doon. I was near the table when I felt Kyle halted behind me. "What is this fucker doing here?"
"Kyle!" suway ko sa kanya. "Pinapunta kita dito para magkaayos kayo."
Tumayo na rin si JC para tulungan ako. "Pare, calm down. Umupo ka muna."
As expected, 'di niya 'yon ginawa at tinapunan lang ako ng masamang tingin. "How many times do I have to tell you that this is impossible?"
Tumalikod siya at naglakad paalis. Malakas ang kutob kong may ganitong mangyayari kaya agad kong tinakbo ang entrance at hinarang ang katawan ko bago pa siya makalabas. "Kyle, sige na please. Importante talaga sa'kin na magkaayos kayo," I pleaded, holding his wrist to stop him from opening the door.
He just stared at me. Too long that we had to move aside because we're blocking the people coming in and out. Hindi siya nagsasalita kaya nakiusap ulit ako. "Kyle, please."
He huffed out a breath, glance down for a second, then back at me. "Do you...Do you really like him that much?" I nod carefully as I watch for his reaction.
Kyle's Adam's apple move as he tilt his head to the side. I know this is hard for him so I wait patiently. He have to do this to fully move on with his life. Kailangan niya na pakawalan ang grudge niya kay JC.
"Is this really what you want?" I heard something from the tone he's using that I can't quite lay my finger on. There's just something off with how that question came out from his lips.
