Boy or Girl?
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti habang hawak-kamay kaming naglalakad ni Maddox sa daan. Ang ibang tao sa paligid ay hindi mapigilang mapatingin sa kanya, una dahil hindi parin nabubura ang face painting nito at pangalawa, dahil nakaka-agaw pansin naman talaga ang tangkad at kagwapuhan nito.
I'm not a fan of holding hands while walking or any display of affection but on the other hand, Maddox had his head raised high and there was a proud smile on his lips. I tried to remove my hand from Maddox's several times but he only scowled at me and gripped my hand tighter.
This relationship with Maddox is something serious. I've had a boyfriend before but it wasn't this serious and I wasn't as happy and contented as I am with Maddox right now.
Inaamin ko na noong kinausap ko siya tungkol sa kasunduan ay wala akong inaasahan na kahit ano mula sa kanya. I just wanted my miserable life over. I admit that maybe I was fooled by the fortune teller and maybe she lied to me but I don't regret anything. I don't regret asking Maddox to take my v-card.
Noong una ay natakot ako kay Maddox. I see him as a playboy and a Casanova. I was afraid that he was playing with my heart too. Pero habang nakikilala ko siya ay nagbabago ang lahat ng iyon. Ibang-iba siya sa reputasyong nakilala ko sa kanya. He might be a playboy but he was willing to change for me and I appreciate that he was willing to leave what he was before for me.
"Saglit lang, Maddox." Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at sinubukang alisin ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak niya.
"What?" Naka-kunot noong tanong nito na masama ang tingin sa kamay ko na pilit kong inaalis.
"My hand is sweaty." I said giving him a cheeky smile. Thankfully, binitawan naman niya ako kaya agad kong ipinunas ang kamay ko sa pantalon ko.
Napansin ko nalang na lumipat si Maddox sa kabilang side ko at hinawakan ang isa ko pang kamay na may malawak na ngiti sa mga labi.
"Seriously, Maddox?" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ko. I told him my hand was sweaty so he moved to the other side of me and took my other hand.
"Can I hold this one?" He asked with a smirk, raising our intertwined hands. "It's not sweaty so I guess I could."
Sinubukan kong hindi mapangiti sa ginawa niya pero hindi ko mapigilang kiligin. He's just so adorable.
"Ganito ka siguro sa mga babaeng dini-date mo kaya patay na patay silang lahat sayo noh'?"
"At sino naman nagsabi niyan sayo?"
Nagkibit balikat nalang ako. "Just my assumption."
Napatigil ito sa paglalakad at humarap sa akin. "Listen to me, babe. Being sweet is not my thing. Sure, I dated a lot of girls before but I've never been this affectionate to any girl. Just you. Kapag kasama kita, gusto kong ipagmalaki sa lahat na akin ka. I'm always wanting to hold you so the least thing I can do is hold your hand and show everyone that you're mine."
Napalunok nalang ako habang nakatitig sa nga mata ni Maddox. Nakikita ko sa mga mata niya ang sinseridad ng lahat ng sinabi niya. Hindi ko alam ang isasagot sa kanya ngunit may tatlong salitang bigla nalang lumabas sa mga labi ko.
"I love you."
"What?" Maddox whispered who looked taken a back.
Naitikom ko nalang ang bibig ko nang mapagtanto ko kung ano ang sinabi ko. Ako man ay nagulat din sa mga salitang binigkas ko. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang mga salitang iyon. Hindi kaya, mahal ko na din si Maddox? Napakabilis man pero hindi naman kayang pigilan ng isang tao ang pagtibok ng kanyang puso, hindi ba?
