"The devil wanted an angel"

I remembered what he said months ago. Hindi malayong mahalin niya ako. I'm lovable, I know, but it takes patience pag dating sa ugali ko.

Una palang siya na yung pinagbibigyan ako sa lahat ng kapritso ko. He can handle me at my best and worst. We both have an evil streak that's why sinusuportahan niya ako sa mga naiisip ko. But then, I hated him to bits dahil sa mga kalokohan niya. Truth is, I was afraid na baka dahil doon wala siya, mawala siya sa'kin.

I don't really tell Vini how thank I am of his existence that much. Maybe I should say it now...

Sometimes you really have to take advantage of the moment.

"And then the devil wanted to keep the angel forever because he has grown to love her..."

Now or never Calliope Rain.

"The angel loves the devil too"

Humigpit ang yakap niya sa'kin. After a few seconds of comfortable silence, narinig ko siyang tumawa.

"Sabi na e, kailangan ko lang talaga magpa miss para umamin ka."

Trust him to ruin the moment. "Naman eh!"

He palms my face at kinurot ang pisngi ko. "So cute baby..." bago niya hinalikan ang ilong ko. "Wala nang bawian yan"

I only smiled. He already knows what I feel, he just needed a confirmation. It's so easy for him to read me, alam niyang hindi rin ako mag e-effort ng ganon kung wala lang but I want to say it to him directly. I feel like I owe him that. My words and feelings.

I placed my finger on his lips and smiled. "May sasabihin pa ako"

"Thank you for always being there, kahit na ang layo na natin sa isa't isa sinisiguro mo paring okay ako. Sometimes actions aren't enough, words are needed too. Sometimes others liked it vice versa..." hinaplos ko ang pisngi niya. I'm on the verge of crying but I fought the tears back. "I love you... so much. I know I've loved you even then but I was too dumb to notice. I only realized it nung na experience ko na wala ka na sa tabi ko palagi. You really do appreciate what you have when you live without it for a while"

I took a deep breath. It's refreshing rin pala when I finally get to admit it hindi lang sa kanya but sakin din.

I tilted my head, still smiling. "I missed you calling me baby"

I know the effect I have on him and I pretty much know how to use it.

"Stop that," sumimangot siya sa sinabi ko kaya natawa ako. "Hindi na ko makakabalik ng Paris nito"

Tumawa ako ulit at niyakap siya. "You don't know how long I've waited for this..."

"What I'd to repeat the airport scene right now..." he said after a beat. "I love you too"

I wanted to laugh upon remembering it. You caught me off guard there baby but I'm glad I lost my first kiss to you.

"Ang gago talaga nito ni Reigan! Tinulugan tayo! Sabi ko pumunta dito eh" Humagalpak sa tawa si Calixx habang dinial muli ang number ni Reigan.

Hindi pa ako inaantok kahit anong oras na. Tapos na ang birthday ko dahil madaling araw na. They just moved the party here to bond. Ang mga Black Blade at si Seth nalang ang natitira, nag iinuman pa sila eh. Walang paawat. Mukhang wala pa ngang mga tama.

Since Seth and Keanu's here, andito rin si Chloe at Sasha. Si Sasha nakikisama sa mga boys, mukhang alam na alam na niya kung paano maki sakay sa mga trip nila while Chloe's busy with her phone. Naka hilig lang siya sa balikat ni Seth.
