Chapter Seventeen: A Man You Love

WARNING: SLIGHT EXPLICIT CONTENT. 18+ CONTENT.

I have been on dates before, it can be either good or bad. But most of the time, kahit na maganda ang date, I just don't find myself dating them, it never crossed my mind. Sinubukan mo naman, wala pa rin.

I sometimes wonder whether I've turned into Karine sometimes, she also tried to be on dates but after first dates... she never had a second date with any of them. Mabilis din siyang tumanggi ng mga manliligaw niya.

I'm the same, but I'm more straight-forward and bit... nice, compared to Karine who straights up tell them why she doesn't want to go on a date with the person again, she's pretty harsh.

She got it from our mother.

"You are, aren't you?"

"Hah?"

Nakangisi nanaman si Aster sa'kin habang suot-suot ang bagong damit na binigay sa kanya ni Noel. A wedding gift or something, may regalo rin si Noel sa'kin, it was navy blue long dress, bagay raw sa'kin at dahil puro asul ang sinusuot ko.

He's not wrong, I guess.

"You're going on a date with him."

"I'm not, we're just going to hangout... as friends."

For some reason, Aster thinks she's some expert in love, and it's not cute. And it was a bad idea that she learnt that me and Felix had slept together, buti na lang at wala talaga siyang sinabi kay Karine o kay Noel.

Those two are going to tease me again. Walang masyadong alam si Noel pero alam ko na may ideya siya, and Karine knows too much.

"And stop it. 'Di nakakatawa, Aster. We already decided to move on from that, alright?"

"Assumera ka naman ate. Sure ka ba? Na kayo ang nagdesisyon o ikaw lang yo'n?"

I don't like this. Ayoko nang isipin yo'n. I had to avoid him for almost two weeks, I don't want to ruin our friendship, gano'n kaespesyal si Felix sa'kin, kahit na gustong gusto kong mahalin niya 'ko at maging kami, it's way too damn impossible.

I've already decided my fate in love from the moment that...

Ayoko nang isipin yo'n. It's too much. I don't want to return to my old self. Ayoko nang umiyak, ayoko.

"Let's not talk about this. Can we focus on the gifts? And... have you prepared anything for your honeymoon?" tanong ko sabay upo at tsaka ko sinimulan na buksan yung isa pang regalo ni Noel sa'kin.

"Hm... gusto ko sana sa Italy o sa Spain pero... I want to take Dominic to Norvina."

Norvina is gorgeous. It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen ever in my life.

Doon din nakatira si Norvina ngayon, she's busy, she's we are very proud of her. She's graduating soon, and I heard she has a boyfriend now, huh.

"Di pa nakabisita si Dominic sa Norvina before, I want to take him there, but we'll think about it more tonight, pero baka makalimutan lang na'min."

I tilt my head in confusion.

"Kalimutan? Bakit niyo naman makakalimutan?"

Napataas ng kilay si Aster sa'kin, her lips drew a smirk and then I realized what she meant.
