Because He's My First Love (BARKADA SERIES #1)

Chapter 2

I woke up with a smile on my face.
I did my morning routines at bumaba na for breakfast.

Today is Sunday.

We actually call it a family day.

So weird to hear but I called it as a family day since I was 7.

"Good morning, Mom" I greeted her at bumeso sa kanya.

I sat at the left side of our breakfast table. In short, I sat in front of her.

"Where's dad?" I asked her while putting some french toast on my plate.

"He's on work. Hindi pa siya umuwi." she replied in a low tone of voice but still forced herself to smile.

Lagi namang ganoon si dad.
Minsan 1 week pa hindi umuuwi.

I didn't try to bother myself on asking him why he's always like that.

Wala naman akong makukuhang sagot doon kundi' 'Because, I'm working anak'

Nakakasawa na.

Minsan naaawa nalang ako kay mom.

Why did I still call my Sundays as a family day kung hindi naman kami kumpleto lagi?

Nasanay nalang siguro ako.

Sobrang nakakapag taka talaga si dad.

After eating breakfast, I took some shower and texted Kidlat to invite him in a coffee.

To: Kidlat
Good morning! Let's meet at Starbucks near our school! Be there at 10 AM. Take care, muwa.

Hindi ko pa nabababa ang phone ko nag beep na kaagad.

From: Kidlat
Okay, MUWA.

I smiled and rolled my eyes.

Parang shunga amp!

I wear a simple yellow dress and it's above my knee. I partnered it with my favorite black YSL heels and a small black Gucci shoulder bag.

Nilugay ko nalang buhok ko at nag lip and cheek tint nalang.

Nag paalam ako kay mom na, I'm about to meet someone and we need to talk about school stuffs.

Kadalasan kasi, every Sunday hindi ako pinapayagan.

Hays. I really can't wait to be 18 na. Gusto ko na mag legal age.

Nag book ako ng taxi at nag pahatid na papuntang Starbucks.

Pag pasok ko hinanap ko kaagad si Kidlat.

Then I saw him in a corner part of the café. Masyado namang dulong dulong part pinili nito parang timang.

He's just wearing a black hoodie and a black shorts.

He's so handsome. His eyes, his skin tone, his hair and his...

Lips.

"Oh ano tatayo ka nalang ba jan at tititigan ako?"

Natauhan ako nang mag salita siya.

I rolled my eyes and walked towards him.

I sat in front of him and looked away to hide my kinikilig face.

Damn, I hate it.

"What coffee do you want?" he asked me and brushed his hair up.

Tangina, ang pogi.

Kailangan pa bang gawin yon kapag mag tatanong?

Hayop na 'to aga-aga eh.

"Selena to earth. Earth to Selena." he laughed a bit and looked at me in a teasing way.

"Shut up, Kidlat. You're so aga!"

"You're so aga!" He mocked with a hand gestures pa.

I rolled my eyes and told him na I just want a caramel frappé.

He stood up and walked towards the counter.

Medyo natatanaw ko dito yung counter so I'm watching him taking some order.

Napansin kong ang laki ng ngiti ng babaeng cashier kaya napairap nalang ako at inalis tingin ko doon.

"Ba't ba kasi ang attractive mo sa girls" I murmured and rolled my eyes.

"Kasi pogi ako"

He sat on he's seat after putting down our orders.

I looked away to stop myself from smiling.

"Yabang mo"

"Pogi naman talaga ako ah?," he shaked his head and brushed he's hair up using his left hand. "Hindi ba?" He asked and winked on me.

Juskolord.

Pakalmahin niyo po puso ko.

"You know what Kidlat, nasobrahan ka na ng self-confidence sa katawan" I rolled my eyes again.

"Alam mo kanina ka pa nang-iirap ha baka mamaya gumulong na palabas yang eyeballs mo" he laughed and took a sip on his coffee.

"I really really hate you!"

"I really really hate you!" he mocked.

"I'm not here to make some harutan with you ha! I'm here to tell you na... uhh..."

"Na? What?" he asked while playing his fingers on the table.

Kasi gusto kita makita.

Ano ba pwede ko sabihin pucha.

Kaya ko naman talaga siya inaya kasi gusto ko lang siya makita eh.

"Uhh... Hmm... to tell you that uhmm... I want you to wear a silver tuxedo on my debut so that, terno tayo." Pag-iimbento ko. Bahala na potek.

"You want me to what? Wear a silver tuxedo?," he laughed a bit and shaked his head "Wala ka pa ngang binibigay na invitation eh ano yan sapilitang invite?" He laughed while shaking his head.

Napayuko ako para itago ang nag-iinit kong pisngi.

Oo nga no. Hindi ko naisip yon.

Alam naman niyang kahit simpleng birthday lang I used to give them some invitations eh.

Tapos sa debut ko wala ako binibigay?

Uhh. So stupid, Selena!

"Joke lang. Sure, I will. Kaso first time ata na wala ka pang binibigay na invitations? Samantalang dati 1 month before pa ng birthday mo may invitations na," he laughed a bit and took a sip on his coffee.

"Uhh. K-kasi..."

"Kasi di' naman talaga iyon yung pakay mo kaya mo ako pinapunta dito," he said with a teasing smile. "Aminin mo na, miss mo kaagad ako no?"

He laughed out loud at kulang nalang mag lupasay na.

"Ba't ba ang hilig hilig mo ako asarin?!" I asked him and slapped his arms.

"That's my way of showing love to someone," he said and winked at me.
"Pano' pag bigla ako nawala diba. Sayang yung oras at panahon na sana nag tatawanan at nag aasaran tayo."

I looked down and smiled.

Kinikilig nanaman ako pucha.

"Oh kalma wag ka kiligin, Kidlat lang 'to" He laughed and stood up a little bit to reach me. He kissed my head and he sat back on his seat.

He took a sip on his coffee and looked away na parang may bigla siyang malalim na iniisip.

He's really so weird.

"Selena, if ever that I suddenly left for some reasons without letting you know, will you still love me?"

"Bakit, aalis ka ba?" I asked him in a low tone of voice.

"No, I'm not. I'm just making some experiment scenarios in my mind. So," umayos siya ng upo at tumitig sakin. "Will you still?"

"Yes, of course. I will."

I smiled hiding him my worried eyes.
