Tahimik akong pumasok sa kwarto ni Noah. Nanunuod siya ng NBA sa loob habang kumakain ng mansanas na hindi man lang binalatan. Noong makapasok ako ay agad niyang pinatay ang TV at nginuso ang upuan sa tabi ng kanyang kama.

I sat there and he grinned at me. "Anong kailangan mo sa akin mahal na reyna?" tukso niya. I cocked my brows and punched his uninjured arm.

I took one apply and stopped midway. Iyong pulang pulang mansanas ay nanatili lamang sa kamay ko. It silently mocked me with a memory I should not remember.

Damn. Everything started with an apple. That first kiss happened because of an apple. I got addicted to him because of an apple. I am now confused because of an apple.

"Serise? Gusto mo yan?" tanong na ni Noah. I bitterly smiled and looked at him. Noah has those deep honey colored eyes. Thick brows, pointed nose, fair skin. The typical boy-next-door face was clearly his. I remembered back then that I used to admire him from afar. Kapag naglalaro sila ni Seven ng basketball ay namamangha na lamang ako sa kanya.

Somehow, I got attached to the feeling of being excited whenever he is around. Nakakatuwa iyong pakiramdam na bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko kapag nasa malapit siya at kapag nililingon niya ako. I got used to that feeling.

Malaya iyong ngiti na sumilay sa labi ko. I felt the heavy pang on my chest being lifted already. "Damn it, but I loved you Noah." Anas ko. Nanlaki ang mata niya bago napangiti.

"I know Se." sagot niya. Nawala ang ngiti ko sa narinig. He knew?

"Yes." He answered as if he heard my thoughts. Kinuha niya ang isang kamay ko at pinisil iyon.

"Akala ko hindi ka aware doon."

Nagkibit balikat siya. "Don't be offended Se ha? But I always believe that the love you felt for me was the same with the love Caius felt for you before. Naaalala mo iyon? Noong nagtapat siya sayo bago sila magtransfer ni Matthew?" aniya. Napangiti na lamang ako habang unti unti ko siyang naiintindihan.

"Caius said that he is in love with you, but he doesn't want to ruin your friendship. Na mas importante ang pagkakaibigan ninyo kaysa sa nararamdaman niya para sayo kaya bago pa siya tuluyang malunod ay umiwas na siya. Ano nga kasing sinabi mo noon sa kanya bilang sagot Serise?" natatawa niyang sabi. I giggled a bit before doing tiny circles at the back of his palm.

"Caius, you are not inlove with me. You are in love with the idea of me. You are in love with your attachment with me. That is not the real love Cai." Sabi ko, inuulit iyong mga salita ko noong mga bata pa kami at wala pang muwang.

"Then you told him to find somebody else. Iyong babaeng mamahalin niya kahit wala palagi sa tabi niya. Someone who will make him yearn and crave for her touch every second of his day."
