"It was so easy for you to live in no contact, 'no? Like, I can't do it like you did for weeks though." he said when we were both lying down next to each other while I'm already hugging the cinnamoroll he bought.


"I'm not into social media and I'm not dependent into anyone, that's why it was just so easy for me to do it."


I just have few friends I've considered but my family is already enough for me to rely on.


"I can't live a day without visiting your accounts though." he just whispered pero narinig ko pa rin dahil sa tahimik ng kwarto.


Mainitin siya pero wala ni aircon or electric fan ang bukas ngayon dahil sa lagnat ko.


Wala nga lang siyang kumot at nasa akin lahat habang mini fan lang ang ginagamit niya ngayon.


"What do you mean?"


"Nothing. I'll set my alarm on to wake you up later to drink your medicine, wag ka nang mag-pasaway mamaya." he strictly said.


As far as I remember, ako ang nagpu-pursue to have him but why I'm seeing different right now?


Maybe I'll just let him court me considering the pain he have caused me.


First time ko yata makakaranas ng ligaw in my entire life.


The alarm rang at exactly 3am and he was wondered why I'm already awake.


"Hindi ka pa natutulog?" taka niyang tanong with his hoarse voice.


"Natulog pero nagising din agad tapos hindi na makabuo pa uli ng tulog." I uttered as he helped to sit before he sat next to me and put my head into his shoulder.


"What bothers you? Did I made you overthink?" he caressed my hair. "I'm willing to do anything just to prove to you that I'm not the Father of Betina's child, okay? I'm really sorry for the mess, bookie."


This is so Akius Gatlin coded.


I've never experienced of lack in assurance because he's always willing to give it right away without even asking for it.


Pero teka, ano raw?


Gago, sinong bookie?


"Bookie?" 


"You were asking for a nickname from me, right?" he asked back which I immediately remembered it.


"Then what does it mean?"


I pulled my head away from his shoulder to met his eyes.


Sobrang layo naman kasi ng bookie sa Flint Ivo.
