Love, Daddy Long Legs

chapter 7⏩ Push

Franco's POV

    She held my hand. She freaking held my hand. I keep repeating the scenario in my head like a mantra. Sabi na eh. She's really going to be the death of me.

''Hoooy!''sigaw ni Pao sa tenga ko

''Aww! Shit ka talaga Pao!!''

''Ha. Ha. Ha ano ba kasi yang iniisip mo? Ha? Si Elaine na naman ba yan?'' Hindi ako sumagot sa tanong nya, tinitigan ko lang sya, and I swear, kung hindi ko sya close friend sinuntok ko na sya. Minsan nakakabanas din kasi yung muka ng lokong to'.

''Pare,stop glaring at me. Ano? Nahawa ka na kay Ria?''Pao mused, I just raised my middle finger at him

''Balita ko' niyakap mo si Elaine kanina ha?'' Nakangiseng tanong ni Paolo. Surprise, surprise alam nya kaagad

''Niyakap? Hindi no, hinila ko' lang sya palayo doon sa kaaway nya'' nakasimangot kong sagot. Tss. Stupid students, bakit kelan ba nilang pakialaman lahat ng nakikita nila, mga gossiper.

''Ha! Sabi sa'yo pre, badass talaga yung isang yon''

''I know, I know.'' I just waved him off. Funny thing is. She looked more beautiful to me noong galit sya. Siraulo nga ata talaga ako. Pero what killed me is nung hinawakan nya yung kamay ko. Damn, I'm the happiest person alive at that very moment. Kung nafiframe lang ang moments, ipapaframe ko yung moment na yon.

Still, something is bothering me. Sino kaya yung sinasabing 'sya' ni Elaine at Migy kanina? Ano ang kinalaman nya kay Elaine at bakit sya nagalit dun sa lalaki nung dinamay nya yung tao na yun sa usapan? Ang daming kong gustong malaman, how the hell am I going to pacify my curiosity? Tanungin ko' kaya sya? Baka naman gulpehin din ako. Si Migy naman. . . No! I won't ask that jock.

''Pao, can I ask you something?'' Bigla kong tanong kay Pao, he looked at me from the screen of his phone pursing his lips and brows furrowed

''What?''

''Can you please promise me first na sasagutin mo ako ng matino?'' He nodded, mukhang seryoso naman sya

''What if you want to know something about someone, pero ayaw mo syang iconfront or tanungin yung friends nya. What will you do?'' And here goes nothing.

''Hmm. . .'' Humawak sya sa baba nya na para bang hinahanapan nya ng solusyon yung Global warming ''I'd befriend him first?''

''Tapos? Yun na plano mo?''

''Yep. Tapos pag close na kami saka ko na sya tatanungin. Easy, di'ba? Eh teka nga, sa situation, is this persona girl or a boy?''

''Does it matter?''

''Of course. Sa lalaki kasi, it only takes a common interest para maging tropa mo, like maybe, you like the same basketball team sa NBA. Sa babae naman, mas mahirap syempre'' god. Hindi pala ganoon kasimple to'.

''Okay, I get it. Eh sa girls?'' Paolo looked at me, his eyes filled with mischievousness

''Simple, flirt with them. Tapos take them out on a dinner and then, maybe you'll get lucky and you'll be able to take her to bed'' he nudged my shoulder, wiggling his eyebrows. Siraulo talaga, sabi na, good things never last

''Siraulo. Thank you for nothing'' I faked an irritated look which earned a laughter from Paolo, gago talaga.

''Ha. Ha. Ha. Bro, wag kang magmalinis, you had your fair share of wild nights. Sino ba kasi yang gusto mong 'ibefriend'?'' He air quoted the word. I stared at him, sabihin ko' na ba? ''No shit. Si Elaine yan no?'' My face must've gave me away kaya nahulaan ni Pao. Fuck. I just rolled my eyes at him, at syempre lalo nya pa akong inasar

''Oh my god Franco, sira na talaga ata yang ulo mo. Sa dinami-dami ng girls dito bakit sya pa?'' Nakangisi nya pang tanong ni Paolo. Napailing na lang talaga ako sa pangaasar nya.

Pero something is really bothering me, something that I know na kailangan kong malaman kung hindi, I'll have freakin nightmares. Extreme.I know.

But, I already made up my mind. I'll have the answers I needed. Even if it means forcing my way into Elaine's life.
