Only Once in a Lifetime (TRF #4)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

"Baliw." I laughed the uneasy feeling off.

"I'm serious, though." He said as I raised a brow at him.

"Charot mo." Kako naman, he did look serious and I just don't know but I kinda felt like my heart jumped of happiness. Baka joke lang yun.

Ha? Ano daw? Ina kung ano ano ng naiisip ko.

"I'm telling the truth, Elle." He said and looked at me intently.

"Wag ako, Khrylo." I said as he sighed.

"When will you realize that I like you?" He said as my heartbeat fastened. The fuck?!

"What?" I asked as he frustratedly leaned his head on my shoulder. We were facing each other and he doesn't want to look at me. His ears were hella red, dude.

"I like you, Elle. I really do." He whispered but loud enough for me to hear.

"I'm not pressuring you or anything though. I just wanted to tell you." He uttered while still leaning on my shoulder as I sighed.

"Diko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. I also can't assure you that I feel the same." Kako naman kaya napatawa siya ng mapakla.

"It's fine po. I didn't tell you this for you to reciprocate it. I just wanted you to be aware of it." Sabi niya at hinaplos ko naman ang buhok niya.

To be honest, I feel like I am already falling for him. Hindi ko nga lang kayang sabihin kase nga hindi pa naman ako sure, ayoko namang paasahin siya. Pero one thing is for sure, this is different from the feeling I had before for Seth. Ibang iba.

"I'm sorry, Khrylo." I said caressing his hair.

"It's fine po really. You don't need to say sorry for anything because wala ka naman pong kasalanan." Sabi naman niya kaya napabuntong hininga ako.

I just hope nothing will change after this. I really treasure him as a friend.

As if on cue the doorbell rang, interrupting my thoughts.

"Kukunin ko lang po." Sabi niya at hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko yung pamumula padin ng tainga niya.

He placed the box of pizza on the table as we started eating.

"Nga pala anong ganap pagtapos ng midterms?" Tanong ko sakaniya.

"Ahm, academic break po. Mga two weeks bago magresume po ulit yung classes." Sabi naman niya at napatango ako. Well, freshie eh sorry naman.

"What do you usually do around those times?" I asked as he pouted.

"Just read here in my condo or di kaya uuwi ako sa La Union. If hindi naman pupunta ako ng Manila." Sabi naman niya at napatango tango nalang ako habang kumakain nung pizza.

"Putang yan!" Mariin kong pinikit yung mata ko pagtapos kong makita yung score ko sa midterms. Pasado nga pero tangina nagkamali pa nga. Bwisit na yan.

My phone rang and it was Seth.

"Sunduin kita sa condo niyo mamaya. Samgyup na tayo." He said as I sighed. Buti naman.

"Right timing ka teh. I believe deserve ko ng samgyup after ng mga nangyari sakin." Kako naman at napatawa siya.

May klase pa si Chrizzna at Des ngayon ng hanggang 6 kaya kami lang ni Callie ang nandito ngayon sa condo namin.

"Lalabas ka?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ako. Sunday naman na bukas and afterwards that academic break namin ng two weeks.

"Ikaw?" Tanong ko naman pabalik.

"Pupunta ako sa club mamaya. Nag aaya mga ka block ko." Sabi naman niya.

"Mag-iingat ka hm?" I told her as she nodded.

Pumunta na ako sa kwarto ko para magbihis.

While eating we were talking about the midterms.

"Rate mo 1-10 yung kahirap ng lahat ng subjects." Kako habang nagwra wrap ng lettuce.

"10, putang yan. Halos wala na akong nasulat sa papel ko." He hissed as I laughed.

"Sorry, nagpatutor lang." Mayabang na sabi ko kaya napairap siya.

"Edi ikaw na may tutor na second year. Hayup ka di mo manlang ako sinama sa tutoring sessions niyo." Sabi niya kaya napatawa ako.

I heard from Hale na mataas din daw yung mga nakuha niyang scores. Sana all nalang talaga gifted sa utak.

"Napansin ko napapadalas na pagsasama niyo ah." Seth teased as I frowned.

"Magkaibigan nga kami." Inis na sabi ko sakaniya saka siya tumango.

"Sige oo nalang." Natatawang sabi niya kaya umirap ako.

"Tangina ka talaga kahit kailan Seth." Sabi ko naman kaya tumawa siya.

Later on someone called me. It was Audrey.

"Aud? Ano meron?" Tanong ko pagkasagot ko nung tawag niya. Her surroundings was very loud. Nasa club na naman ito sure ako.

"Hey, Aydi! Yung kaibigan mo si Callie wasted na. Wala naman akong ibang matatawagan kundi ikaw lang. Pakisundo naman siya." She loudly said as I sighed.

"Saan?" Tanong ko naman.

"Sa usual na pinupuntahan natin!" Sabi naman niya.

"Seth, sunduin natin si Callie." Kako naman at tumango siya. Magbabayad na lang din naman kami ng bill namin.

"Dito ka na muna." Audrey pouted as I sighed.

"Uwi mo nalang muna si Callie." Kako sakaniya.

"Eh ikaw?" Tanong naman niya.

"Kaya ko na sarili ko, Seth. Uuwi nalang ako mamaya." Kako naman at tumango siya.

"Inom ka muna." Aya ni Audrey sa akin kaya napabuntong hininga ako.

After a while I felt drunk. Tangina naman kase si Audrey. Parang nasusuka ako kaya nagpaalam muna ako na pupunta sa restroom.

Hell! I couldn't even walk straight to the restroom. While on my way there I bumped to someone and immediately recognized the scent.

"Elle?" He asked and I noticed he was also quite red. Mukhang natamaan din ng alak.

"Khrylo. Can you take me home?" I looked up at him as he sighed.

"Diko alam kung saan ang condo niyo." Sabi naman niya kaya napanguso ako.

"Sa condo mo nalang." I said and leaned my head on his chest.

"Alright." He said and picked me up bridal style.

"You know to be honest...." I trailed when we reached his condo.

"I also like you." I said looking at him and my eyes dropped on his lips.

"Hm? Sleep, Elle. Baka antok lang yan." Natatawang sabi niya kaya napanguso ako.

"I'm serious as fuck, Khrylo." Maangas na sabi ko kaya napatawa siya.

"Yeah, itulog mo nalang." He really thinks na lasing lang ako.

I pulled him and kissed him, he was taken aback but kissed back when he realized I had no plans of letting go. His hand snakes on my waist and I felt like my body was on fire.

He pulled away and sighed.

"Continue, please?" I looked at him as he frustratedly ran his hand through his hair.

"I would love to, Elle. But I don't want to take advantage of you. Sleep now." He kissed my forehead but I have ko intentions of letting him go so I pulled him.

"I'm giving you full consent, kahit i record mo pa." I said as he chuckled.

"Yeah no." Natatawang sabi niya.

"Iiyak ako." I pouted as he laughed.

"Fine, but be sure na hindi mo makakalimutan hm?" He looked at me as I nodded.

"Opo." I answered and he dropped a kiss on my lips.

"Then remember, I love you, Elle."
