Chapter Twenty One: The Bomb He Dropped

Chapter Twenty One: The Bomb He Dropped

Felix.

Felix... loves me.

How... how the fuck do I live with that revelation?

'Di ako makapaniwala hanggang ngayon sa narinig ko sa kanya. At first, I thought that maybe I'm drunk but then I realized that I wasn't drunk, I was still thinking right so I heard it right.

I can't even remember how many times I cursed thinking about it and playing his words over and over again in my brain.

Kahit sa panaginip ko hinahabol niya 'ko.

Hinahabol niya 'ko habang inulitulit yung sinasabi niya sa'kin nung gabing yo'n.

I couldn't even finish my runs or workout because of him, kahit na rin yung trabaho ko, I can't focus, I have to drink two cups of coffee while working just to pull myself back together.

And I haven't drink two cups of coffee in one sitting, how does that happen?

"You're doing it again." Karine spoke behind me while I'm pouring myself a second cup of coffee.

Wala pa nga 'kong trabaho pero pangalawang tasa ko na nang kape. It's morning, I just woke up and I haven't even brushed my teeth or even wash my face.

It's been like this... for exactly three days.

Three days since that night.

The night he told me... he loves me.

Fuck.

Felix... loves me.

Felix loves me.

Felix Nicholas Maddox loves me.

"I am doing what?" I ask my sister and sat with my cup of coffee in my hand.

"Coffee. Again."

"Tigilan mo nga 'ko. Not today."

"Yan ang sinabi mo kahapon... at kahapon ng kahap—"

"Shut it. Ugh."

I'm not in the mood to do this with her.

Gusto ko na lang matulog o magbasa kaysa magtrabaho, but I have no choice at all, nothing at all.

It's either I do what I want and I would think about him or distract myself with work.

I'm not trying to avoid him by working, I think it's the other way.

He's avoiding me.

He didn't text me, call me, or even visit like what the frick. He dropped a bomb and just left without taking responsibility?

It's like before, just... just like in the past.

He always leaves a bomb, turn me into a mess, make me fall for him over and over again, and then takes no responsibility.

Fuck.

"Anyare sa'yo? Your face is like ampalaya."

"Ikaw ang ampalaya. Tumahimik ka nga."

I don't want to deal with this right now. I don't wanna deal with my twin sister, ayokong pagusapan ang nararamdaman ko sa harap ng mga kasambahay at gising na ang mga magulang na'min.
