I was quiet and wondering as ZJ pulled my wrist. I don't even know where will he take me. I don't know why but his grip on me tightened. My wrist hurts.

"Z-zach ang.. sakit" sabi ko sa kaniya at huminto ako tsaka dahan dahang hinahatak ang kamay ko pabalik sa 'kin

Nabigla naman siya at tinignan niya yung pagkakahawak niya sa pulsuhan ko bago niya binitawan "Sorry I didn't mean to hurt you" he said and at the same time, he gently caressed my wrist "I just.. I... I'm" he can't finish what he was saying

I raised an eyebrow at him "You what?" I asked

"I... nevermind just forget wha-" hindi niya natuloy yung sinasabi niya

"Say it!" I cut him off na dahilan naman ng pagkabigla niya

He sighed heavily

"I just want to apologize for what you saw earlier" now, he looks serious

I was shocked dahil sa sinabi niya. What about that? Dapat nga ako ang magsorry diba kasi 'di naman dapat ako nandoon

"You have nothing to apologize for. Hindi ko rin naman ginusto na makita 'yon, I was just shocked kaya ganon yung naging reaction ko kanina. Sorry" I told him and I smiled a little even though the truth is, I felt a little pain in my chest. I don't know why

"No Jacey, hindi ko 'yon sinasadya. When she kissed me-"

"I already said its fine" medyo naiirita na 'ko "I don't care and it doesn't matter-"

"Well I care" putol niya sa 'kin kaya nagtataka ko siyang tinignan "and it does matter to me Jacey. Kaya ako humihingi ng sorry" seryosong sabi niya

"And for what reason? You know Zach ang weird mo. Hindi kita maintindihan." Gulong gulo na 'ko sa mga sinasabi niya "I don't know why are you kept on telling me your sorry, I don't know why are you saying this to me-"

"Because I like you" I was stunned. I blinked thrice just to process what he just said. Hindi ko inaasahan na 'yon ang salitang lalabas sa bibig niya "I like you ok? That's why I'm apologizing kasi 'yong nakita mo kanina ay hindi ko ginusto at ayaw ko na iba 'yong isipin mo" he said with a deep look in my eyes

Matagal bago ako nakapagsalita

"Wa... wala naman akong iniisip" sabi ko sa kaniya pero pinagtaasan niya lang ako ng kilay "Nung nakita ko 'yon" dugtong ko

"Tss"

"Promise... wala... talaga" nakatingin lang siya sa 'kin

Why he's staring at me like that?

"Ok akala ko girlfriend mo siya" pag amin ko tapos pumikit ako ng mariin. Nakakainis hindi talaga 'ko marunong mag sinungaling

Yung itsura niya naman ngayon ay nagpipigil ng ngiti. Yung totoo? Pinagttripan lang ata ako nito e

"Alam mo tara na bumalik na tayo sa parking, ihahatid na kita" sabi niya na hahawakan dapat yung kamay ko pero bigla kong iniwas kaya nagtaka siya

"Ayaw ko 'don" pag angal ko pero ngumiti lang siya at hinawakan lang ulit yung kamay ko tapos tumawa siya

"Wala na siya roon" paninigurado niya

Nakatayo pa rin ako at nakatingin lang sa kaniya

"Oh c'mon Jacey" he groaned and then hinatak na niya ko



"I thought ihahatid mo na 'ko?" I asked kasi parang ibang daan naman 'yong dinadaanan namin.

"Yes pero, may dadaanan lang tayo saglit" he said
