Unspoken Words

Chapter Twelve

*Belle’s POV*

I can’t BELIEVE the nerve of Xander. I mean, ang sweet and medyo natouch ako dahil sinabi nyang I’m his “girl” pero to do that to Marcus? Kawawa talaga sya!

Now, I’m dismissed, kaso lang my training is 5:30PM pa. 2:00 palang! Where to go?

Nena still had classes, kaya nauna na sya. So as usual, I’m left to my lonesome. I decided to go to Anna’s condo, ‘yung classmate ko sa Religion. Anna and I have grown fond of each other since basically we are the only ones who converse during the entire period and she’s really fun to talk to. I texted Anna and buti nalang 6PM pa training ng dance company nila. For now, she’s “chilling” daw in her condo so I decided to come over. I was planning to stop by Burgers4U to bring her food, kaso when I called her sabi niya super dami na raw pagkain dun, but I still bought her kahit wala syang sinabi na specific order.

I arrived at her condo, I didn’t sign up na sa log sheet since, hello? Di naman ako mukhang sindikato. Ako lang mag isa sa elevator, so when I stepped in, I hurriedly closed the door. >:)

“WAIT!”

There was an arm in the middle of the elevator doors so I pushed the open button repeatedly. Ayun, bumukas. Si Marcus pala. When the doors fully opened and nakita kong nakita nya ko, he smiled. “Hello, trouble” he smirked. Pogi talaga, hayyy. I smiled meekly and waved at him, “hey”.

He got inside and pressed 14. “You live here?” he asked.

“Ah no, just visiting a friend”

“You should come by my room sometimes. I don’t have a roommate, just kicked the last one out ‘cause he was being a prick”

“Is it alright if I drop by sometimes? I mean I have really long breaks and I really don’t know where to go most of the time.”

“Why not?” he said, and he took out his phone, “here, pin in your number. I’ll call you so you could save mine. Text me anytime you want to go. I might even give you spare keys”

“No way!” I wouldn’t accept it anyway.

“Nah, just kidding. But I’m serious about—”

DING!

The elevator stopped at the 14th floor and I was just finished inputting my number. “Well, see ya, Belle!” Marcus said. I can see him still looking at me as the doors closed. He acted as if nothing happened and he’s still as carefree as ever. I like that about him. Hindi sya pumapayag maapektuhan ng negative vibes kahit na-DO na siya and all.

But wait, what was he serious about? :O oh well. I saved Marcus’ number since he just miscalled me.

Anna lives sa 17th floor, just three floors above Marcus’ floor. So, yun, Anna opened the doors.

“Belle, ano ba yan!” she said. Nagulat ako, then sinundan ko yung tingin nya. Nakatingin sya sa burger take outs na dala ko. I smiled weakly.

“Sabi sa’yo wag ka na umorder. Eto talaga” pero naka-smile na si Anna nung sinabi nya.

“Hayaan mo na, eto naman. Minsan lang naman tayo magbbond sa condo mo!” I said.

“Oh sya, pasok ka!” Hindi conyo si Anna, so mejo nag-adjust pa ‘ko. Sorry, nasanay kasi ako eh. Pero hindi naman ako maarte ha! Nasanay lang talaga.
