CHAPTER 10
"Thank you ha!!"......said Jade...
"anytime.....i owe you big time!! Dahil sa iyo.....nakafirst base na kaagad ako!!"...David said....
"Grabe ka....baka naman kasal na kaagad yan ha!!"....biro ni Jade...
"Kung pwede na nga eh!! I think she's the one!!".....
"Oh...Dr. Phil...kelan ka pa naging makata?"....biro ni Jade..
"Hah! Atleast ako okay na ang lovelife ko.....eh ikaw?....hanggang ngayon...tumatakbo ka pa rin!!"....kinurot siya nito sa pisngi.......
"ako?...my love life??....ayan ka na naman eh... Dr. Phil.....umuwi na po kayo....kasi baka magalit yung bago niyong girlfriend!!"...tulak niya dito palabas sa gate.......
"sa tingin mo....magagalit yon?"....seryosong tanong nito....
Natawa si Jade......"uwi na!!"....
"thank you so much!!!!"...niyakap siya ni David...bago ito sumakay sa sasakyan.... Jade closed the gate.....she look at the stars ..... Vince used to count the stars for her.....hanggang sa makatulog siya! she smiled..... Heto ka na naman Jade Marie....mangarap ka na naman ng gising!! Speaking of mangarap....yung scrapbook..... Nagmadali siyang isara yung pinto... kukulitin ulit niya ang kuya niya!!
Vince was watching in the window.....he felt like a spy.....or mas maganda sana kung sniper na lang.....para mabaril niya ang lalaking iyon... He caught himself.....preventing to yell at the guy....... it hurts to see Jade laughing with other guy.......but it hurts more...to see her moving on......Not yet!! ......hindi pa pwede…..
Nagmadali siyang pumasok sa kwarto....he needs to finish looking at the scrapbook....baka makahanap siya ng hint.....o kahit ano na sasagot sa tanong niya........
Pagkapasok niya ng kwarto....nakita niyang hawak ni Joaquin ang scrapbook......
"hoy!! bitiwan mo iyan!!"...agaw niya sa scrapbook.....
"Grabe bro......yan ba yung hinahanap ni Jade?.....nasa iyo lang pala!!".....sabi nito...
"Bro....wag na wag mong sasabihin kay Jade na nasa akin ito ha!!"....pakiusap niya dito......
"Bakit pinahihirapan mo si Jade?"...tanong nito....."Eh diba mahal mo naman siya?"...
"Bro....i'm just trying to find some answers.... So please.....hayaan mo ng ako ang magsabi sa kanya!"...
"O sige....pero you have to tell me what's the story behind the Johnson’s baby oil?...."...
Napakunot noo si Vince..."Baby Oil? nasan iyon?"..... he open the scrapbook....
"After nung movie ticket!! next page!"....he said....
Pagbukas ni Vince..... he saw the label of Johnson's baby oil....nakapalibot dito ay drawing ng stars...... at may nakasulat sa ilalim na "wish it will never end!"....
He smiled......
How can he forget......that was a sweet torture.............. very sweet torture indeed........
(flashback.........ulit!)
They were holding hands...walking home..... when Jade accidentally tripped on a big rock...
"Aray!"...she cried..... hindi niya napansin ang bato.. ...Because she's busy giggling with Vince....
"Are you okay?"...nagaalalang tanong ni Vince....
"Sakit ng paa ko eh!!".....
Vince carried her and sits her in the near bench......"Patingin ako!"...inaalalayan niya ang paa ni Jade....he slowly took off her shoes.....next is the socks.....
