Alex (girl)

Okay lang ba to? To let my guards down whenever he's near. To let my guards down if he's the one seeking for me?

What if I end up getting hurt again?

Friends, he said friends.

Right, pero kahit na. What if.....

What if you fall for him?

No, no I won't fall for him. Not him, anyone except him.

Naglalakad kami ngayon papunta sa sakayan namin. He's not talking but I sense he's a bit agitated.

"Okay lang naman sa akin umuwi ng mag-isa" pagbibiro ko.
"Oh no you won't" he said now smiling.

"Spill" I said still looking infront. "Spill what?" tanong niya. "Sabihin mo na kasi, para kang constipated sa itsura mo ngayon. May problema ka ramdam ko" I said now looking at him.

"I don't know" he said now putting his guards up. First time, he doesn't want me to know. Okay, I won't push him.

I just stay silent and kept walking.

He let out a loud sigh and spoke.
"Fine, I'll tell you. Only if you promise me that you will never ever blame yourself about this" he said.

"Bakit ano ba yun?" tanong ko. "Basta magpromise ka muna" he said.

"Oo na, promise" I said lifting my right hand in the air. He chuckled.

"Nagaaway kasi kami ngayon ni Maxine" he said. "Maxine? Sino siya?" I asked clearly unaware who she is.

"Girlfriend ko" he blurted out now looking at me.

Oh

Girlfriend

May girlfriend siya.

"Bakit?" tanong ko masking the disappointment inside my head. "She's jealous" he replied.

Buffled, I stopped dead on my tracks but quickly recovered and walked faster behind him. "Jealous? Kanino?" I query seeking for answer. Totally not me for all reasons.

"Sayo" he smirked brows furrowed. "Bakit ako?" I asked clearly confused. "May nakakita sa atin nung unang araw kita hinatid. They all thought me and you were something. Syempre lumilipad ang chismis" he implied.

Oh

I was rendered speechless. Why do I feel so disappointed and guilty at the same time? Why is he making me feel this way?

Why am I feeling so wierd about this?

"Hey, you promised" he nudged me "I'm not, napapaisip lang ako. Kung nagseselos siya sa akin, bakit yun pa yung hiningi mong kapalit?" I asked now curious.

He didn't answer, he just shrugged.

Why on earth is he so silent about this?

--

Iniba ko yung topic namin and now talking about something else. Nakasakay na kami ng jeep pauwi.

So he loves music, and a tennis player, a drummer, guitarist and bassist.

I totally forgot how much I love music because of that stupid gang I've entered myself into. Shame.

Hindi ko nga alam kung marunong pa akong kumanta eh. Nakakamiss din pala.

It wouldn't be possible for me to pay attention to what he is all saying. Nadidistract ako sa mga mata niya, sa labi niya, those gentle touches na hindi niya sinsadya minsan sa pag-aabot ng bayad.
