The Jerk is Inlove(ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

Drake's Point of View

Alam ko na hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin siya naniniwala sa sinabi ko. Sino nga ba namang tanga ang maniniwala agad sa salita ng isang kilalang notorious jerk. But i will show her that my feelings and intentions are as pure as water.

But how can i made her believe me?

Ilang oras din akong paikot-ikot. For the first time in my life, naranasan ko kung anong pakiramdam ng ma-torpe. I didn't actually think before that being known as a notorious playboy will made this hard for me.

Sino nga bang mag-aakalang may balak pala akong magseryoso? At sino din nga ba ang maniniwala na kaya kong magseryoso sa babae. Everyone knew me as a heartless jerk. Walang sinasanto at lahat ng babae basta maganda at sexy ay pinapatulan. And seeing me head-over-heels for someone not as beautiful and sexy as my past flings made them think that im just bored and wanted to play. I've also seen someone tweeted 'New flavor and playmate of Drake Fernandez' tapos may nakalagay na picture ni Shan sa baba.

Sa tanang buhay ko ngayon lang 'ata ako naging ganito ka-frustrated sa pagiging playboy ko. I am actually proud of it at mas natutuwa pa ako pag pinaguusapan nila kung gaano nila kagustong maging flavor of the month ko. Well sorry to say that no more flavor of the month will came. I just wanna stick to this girl forever.

"Pinapunta mo lang ba kami dito para panuorin kang mabaliw diyan?" Nabalik naman ako sa realidad ng marinig ang boses na 'yon.

Nag-space out na pala ako kakaisip sa kanya at nakalimutan kong pinapunta ko pala dito ang tatlong ugok na 'to. Tinitigan ko muna sila sandali bago ako napabuntong-hininga ngunit hindi ko pa din masabi ang sadya ko sa kanila.

"For heaven's sake Fernandez, pinagmadali mo lang ba kami sa pagpunta dito ng madaling araw para lang makipaghulaan sa sasabihin mo," hindi ito patanong more on like nauubusan ng pasensyang saad ni Julius habang masamang nakatingin sakin.

"Can you- ah do me a favor?" Alinlangang saad ko sa kanilang tatlo pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang seryoso sa tono ng pananalita ko.

"Just tell us directly what favor you want us to do," naiinis na saad ulit Julius. "You interupt our deep slumber for that favor. Just make sure it's an important or else.."

I can see in his stares how pissed he is right now and i felt sorry for it. Kahit siguro ako ay ganito ang magiging reaksyon kapag ginambala ang mahimbing kong tulog ng madaling araw. I took a deep breath again before i seriously look at them.

"Im sorry to interupt you for your deep slumber... but i just don't know what to do anymore," i took a deep breath once again before continuing my sentence, "can you please tell me how to court a girl?"

From pissed expression ay napanuod ko kung paano ito napalitan ng pagkagulat. Halos sabay-sabay pa silang napatingin sa akin with their unreadable expressions. After some minutes of silence ay bigla ko na lang narinig ang mahihina nilang bungisngis na bahagyang nagpakunot ng noo ko. I now throwing them death glares as their laughters became more loud.

Ano bang nakakatawa sa sinabi ko?

"One more laugh and im gonna break your ass off" malamig na saad ko na hindi nawawala ang matatalim na tingin sa kanila.

"Sorry--just, SERIOUSLY?!" Kahit na pinipigilan na niya ang pagtawa ay nagkukumawala pa rin ito sa bibig niya. "The great notorious playboy called us in the middle of the night and rushed us to came here just to ask 'how to court a girl?' Like seriously Drake?"

Mas nalukot ang mukha ko dahil sa pinagsasabi niya. I somehow felt shy upon hearing it from him realizing how shallow it is to rushed them to came here just to ask that. Argh! I really doesn't know what to do anymore!

Samantalang dati naman kapag may nagugustuhan ako, hindi ako nahihirapan sa sasabihin o gagawin ko. I can directly tell them what i wanted to say. But now? I'm lost of words.

"Just tell me if you can help me or not," kahit nahihiya na ay mas pinili kong palamigin ang boses para pagtakpan ang kahihiyang natamo.

They looked at me with their amused expressions and i can laughed my ass hard if this happened before, but the situations different. I dont actually know why i felt uneasiness with their gazes. Umiwas na lang ako ng tingin at bumuga ng malalim na buntong-hininga.

From my peripheral vision, i saw them slowly walking towards my direction while giving me intent glares. Naaasiwa man sa mga tinging ipinupukol nila ay mas pinili ko na lang na magpatay malisya at ipinagpatuloy ang pagtitig sa kawalan.

"Are you really dead serious dude?" Seryosong saad na nila ngayon sa akin kaya bahagya kong naitingala ang paningin sa kanila.

I can't explain how nervous i am right now. Hindi ko rin maipaliwanag kung bakit naiisip ko pa lang siya ay parang may humahalukay na sa loob ng tiyan ko. This is the first time i felt nervous upon thinking a certain person, especially a girl, kaya hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko. Hindi din ako patatahimikin ng utak ko kaya, natawagan ko na lang sila bigla ng hindi naiisip kung anong oras na ngayon. Seeing how sleepy their eyes looks like earlier ay nakokonsensya na ako. Pero im still thankful that they came dahil kung hindi ay baka kanina pa akong nabaliw dito.

Someone's Point of View

Nakakatuwang pagmasdan ang taong gusto ko na tumatawa at masaya. I am always dreaming to be the reason of her smile but seeing my friend trying his best just to court her properly, it made me wonder if i can still do that.

I used to loved only one person before. She's the only reason why i keep being a good student and being good as a person. Although iniwan niya ako ng walang paalam o paliwanag man lang, hindi nagbabago ang pagmamahal ko sa kanya. Not until i met this girl. Napakamasiyahin niya but she's looking fierce most of the time. I liked her unconsciously, at alam ko sa sarili ko that it hits me deeply.

Handa na akong sumugal ulit. Handa na akong umamin sa kanya, but what happened made me think about backing out. Seeing him as hopeless as i can see right now made me feel like he loves her too, unconsciously. And who am i to barge in? My feelings isn't that deep as what i can see on Drake's eyes. Kaya magpaparaya ako. But that doesn't mean that i'll let go of my feelings that easily.

He must protect and love her. Because i might stole her from him once she got hurt.
