Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 28

THIRD PERSON

Morning time. Bea is currently dressing and getting ready for work

"Bei, may problema ba tayo?" Jho's speaking behind Bea, nakaharap kasi sa full mirror si Bea

Bea's ignoring Jho. Pero nang nainip si Jho bigla siyang pumunta sa harap ni Bea at nagsalita

"Bakit ba hindi mo ako kinakausap? I want us to talk" Jho

"You're annoying, kanina ka pa" Bea

"Kung ganun, bakit mo pa ako pinapasok ng bahay mo last night?" Jho

"Jhoana, please stop talking to me so annoyingly. Don't be childish" Bea

"What do you want ba from me? Eto ba?" Jho at hinila niya face ni Bea at hinalikan ito

Agad na inistop ni Bea yung kiss nila Jho

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Bea

"Ikaw! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ka ganyan, gusto lang kitang kausapin!" Jho

"Ako pa yung may mali dito? Who among us went to a bar and fucked someone, then comes to my house only to have another fucking session? Ako ba?! Hindi, kasi ikaw!" Bea

"Kung totoo man yang pinagsasabi mo, ano ngayon sa'yo?! Nanay ba kita? Tatay ba kita? Asawa ba kita? Hindi! We're just playing games Bea" Jho

"Then leave!" Bea at itinuro yung door kung saan lalabas si Jho

"Gusto mo ak-" Jho was cut off

"Yes! I don't want you in my house, you fucking player and whore!" Bea

Napatango nalang si Jho at hindi na napigilang maluha ng konti

"Tutal ayaw mo akong dinggin. Fine, I'll leave" Jho

JHOANA

Mahimbing yung tulog ko pero nagising nang marinig kong humihikbi si Bea. Maybe she's having a bad dream

"S...sorry, I didn't m...mean that" Bea sobs

Kaya agad kong inabot at binuksan ang lamp

"Ugh" I groaned, mejo masakit ulo ko eh. Napansin ko rin na may damit na pala ako, it's an oversized shirt

Then tinignan ko na si Bea. Lumuluha siyang nakapikit yung mata. Pati siya may damit na rin as well as bottoms, ako top lang nakasuot sa'kin

"W...why am I a...always left b...behind?" Bea

Pinunasan ko yung mga luha niya gamit ang kamay ko

Because of what she said, I realized some things

"Please don't be like this Bei, if I could just stay with you forever I would. But as long as I'm still here, I won't let you feel alone" I said in whispers

Humiga ako sa tabi niya at linagay yung arms niya sa waist ko tapos niyakap ko na siya ng mahigpit

I feel safe in Bea's arms, this is what I needed.

"I hope it's you, not him"

BEATRIZ

The morning sun isn't still rising, super aga pa kasi nang magising ako

Jho's sleeping on top of me, parang siya na yung naging blanket ko kasi nakayakap siya sa'kin. Kaya I took the opportunity na to feel her, kaya ayun yumakap ako sa kanya pabalik hehe
