Get You | Ricci Rivero COMPLETED

And I'll take some time

"Rivero tries for 3... he shoots.... And HE SCORES!!!"

We all jumped for joy as Ricci finishes the game with a bang. We are currently in San Juan Arena as they play their game with Adamson University. We all hugged each other (Alexa, Steph and me) as our boys jumped for joy as they win their second game.

"Grabe, sobrang galing talaga ni Ricci 'no? Imagine, kahit naka-miss siya ng trainings siya pa rin nagpanalo. Grabe talaga!" Alexa squealed in delight.

"E kung hindi ka ba naman ganahan nung weekend e, ewan ko na lang. Lakas mo talaga Marq! Nag-solo ba naman e," Steph teased as she playfully tickled me on the side which made me laugh.

Kasabay ng hangin ang pag ngiti ni Ricci Rivero. The moment I spoke those words, his face lit up like a child waiting for the Christmas Tree. Sinabi ko sarili ko na after kong ma-witness siyang matapos yun na ang pinaka-favorite ko na moment with him. Hindi pala. Ito pala yun.

"You do?" he asked, as if hindi siya makapaniwala sa narinig nya.

I smiled and nodded. "I do. Nung una I tried to avoid my feelings for you coz I thought masyado akong napagod kay Mico and I thought love already gave up on me. Pero ikaw, Ricci Rivero – binago mong lahat yun."

He gave me the most breathtaking smile kasabay ng paglubog ng araw. I thought nothing's prettier than this scene in front of me and I couldn't help but to still feel thankful. Minalas man ako sa pamilya and we have to face reality a few hours from now but this – this moment right here – is golden.

He held both of my cheeks and gave me the sweetest kiss. I know this kiss is different from all the drunken and stolen kisses that we had because this seals the deal. Legit feelings we're already involved and this basically sums up kung ano nga ba talaga kami.

"So...," Ricci smirked after we finished probably the longest kiss that we ever had.

"Tayo na?"

After the confession that I made with Ricci that day at the Picnic Grove, life just got sweeter. We went back to Manila with intertwined hands and genuine smiles plastered on our faces.  I thought that day was going to be the worse because we have to face the consequences once we're back but turns out, opposite pala.

"Are we going to tell everyone that we're together na?" dahan dahan nyang tanong sa akin while we're approaching SLEX.

I thought about it the whole ride. To be honest, masaya ako na finally – may label na kami ni Ricci. Yes, kami na. But then it makes me wonder and worry if pagbalik namin at pag ipangalandakan namin sa lahat baka malaman agad 'to ng mga taong ayaw sa amin. Hindi lang naman mga fans or mga nagkaka-gusto kay Ricci sa school but also with my Dad. Natatakot ako na baka kung kelan kakasimula pa lang namin ay mangyari din ang nangyari sa amin ni Mico. Hindi na ata kakayanin pa ng puso ko.

"About that... uh..." I started but I honestly don't know how to continue. Paano ko ba sasabihin sa bago kong boyfriend na ayaw ko muna ipagsabi sa lahat nang hindi siya masasaktan or ma-ooffend?

Teka, boyfriend? Wow, big word there Marq.

"Are you having doubts about us?!" Ricci asked, with so much curiousity yet hurt lacing his voice. Ito na naman tayo. I really don't know why Ricci is so butthurt with all these things. I mean, kung titignan mo si Ricci – mukang sobrang confident, lalo na sa court... so all these doubts and insecurities coming from him – I don't know kung saan 'to nanggagaling.

I looked at him incredulously. Didn't I just say yes to him an hour ago? Di ko alam kung ma-ooffend ako or ano.

"Of course not!"
