Tequila Nights, Tipsy Lights (Revelry Series #3)

Hakbang 2

I thought Kier would give it up. After all, I was clear that I was done with our relationship.

Unfortunately, he didn't back down.

For our second year, mas mahirap na ang mga subjects. Halos puro major kaya roon nakatuon lahat ng pansin ko. I wanna excel in this, not only because I want to prove something to my father, but also because I really like my course.

I became a team leader for our group. I also monitor our work breakdown structure to see our progress.

So, I was really busy the whole semester. Plus the fact that Kier is trying to pursue me, it added to my stress.

He wants me back. I already said that the only thing we could go back to is us being friends again.

I admit it, I never had anyone after him. It was because I'm busy that I have no time relationships. Akala ni Kier hindi pa ako nakaka-move on kaya ganoon.

"Killa, please, I promise I'll be a good boyfriend this time."

'Yon ang litanya niya noong huling subok na makipagbalikan.

Hindi naman siya madalas mangulit. Kapag tumanggi ako, tumitigil naman siya. But after months, he'll try again.

It's like a damn cycle.

"Kier, I already told you we're done. Kaibigan na lang," laging script ko sa tuwing tatanggihan siya.

Hindi naman siya nagagalit. Buti na lang kasi kung magalit siya, magagalit din ako. Baka hindi pa mabalik pati pagkakaibigan namin.

My eyes were closed while leaning on my seat on a hot afternoon in our university. Maingay ang iba dahil absent ang prof. And the fact that it's Valentine's day today, mas maingay lalo pa kapag may nagbibigay ng regalo.

I roll my eyes every time they'll shout. Ang ingay! I'm not against their sweet shit, but can they tone it down a little bit? Parang highschool!

But well, fine. It's just one day, anyway. I'll endure it.

Nakapikit at may suot na airpods, sinubukan kong matulog kahit ang ingay nila. Kahit sila Raica ay nakikisali sa ingay.

If they get flowers and chocolates for this day, I want to get a good sleep! Can we all win here?

Sumubsob ako sa armchair para matulog talaga. Ang haba ng free time namin. Ang sarap matulog.

Almost asleep after a few minutes, I thought nothing would ever disturb me. Kaso may kumalabit kung kailan makakatulog na sana ako!

Napasinghap ako at naiiritang tinaas ang ulo. What a perfect timing, huh? I just want to get some sleep!

Turns out, it was our president who woke me up. Nakangisi siya. Tumaas ang kilay ko bilang pagtatanong.

What?

"May delivery. Para sa'yo raw," aniya at saka ko lang napansin ang bouquet na hawak niya.

Lumakas ang hiyawan sa room at marami nang lumapit sa pwesto ko para makiusyoso. Damn nice! What sleep are you talking about, Killa?

You'll definitely not get it!

"Thanks." Ani ko at kinuha 'yong inaabot niya.

Nakabalandra lahat ng ngisi ng mga kaklase ko. Ngumiti lang ako ng tipid bago tinignan ang card.

I sighed when I saw who gave it.

"Kanino galing?" sila Karlie na curious.

Mabilis kong tinago ang card. Takang taka tuloy sila at mas lalo akong inaasar. Tinatago ko pa raw.
