Demi's Invention °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

XXII- Dimitri Belicov

🌺 Demi's Point of View:

Tinupad ko ang pangako ko sa sarili ko. I treated my girlfriends to a date with just the three of us. Dinala ko lang sila sa Starbucks for Frappe and a chocolate croissant. It always makes them congenial.

"We should do triple dates bess!"Carlene suggested, Keam and I almost spit out the chocolate croissant we have in our mouth.

"Sa tingin ko, ayaw ni Wyatt no'n. Mukhang gano'n din si Camden. Carl, kahit si Tobi mas gugustuhing masolo ka."paliwanag ko.

"Ako din naman. Mas gusto ko siyang masolo."she muttered dreamily.

"Well, for the record. Feeling ko maghihiwalay na kami ni Camden."malungkot na anunsiyo ni Keam na nagpatahimik sa'min ng halos dalawang minuto.

"Keam, what's wrong?"I asked anxiously.

Camden was her first crush in high school. It grew now into first love, she'd surely find it hard to let go. They were together for three years, almost four in five months. Ako nga na tatlong buwan lang nakilala si Wyatt, para na akong mamamatay sa sobrang sakit. Paano pa siya na ang haba na ng pinagsamahan nila?

"Sobrang toxic na ng relationship namin. Palagi akong nagseselos kaya lagi siyang nagagalit. Masisisi ba niya ako, pwede niya namang 'wag pansinin 'yong ibang babae. Like how Noah would normally do. Kahit maghubad pa 'yong babae sa harap niya, he wouldn't care or even dare to look."naiiyak na kwento niya.

That was a fact about Noah though. I thought of him as the womanizer kind of guy when he was the opposite. Maybe, he have the vibes. He got that handsome face. It's not my fault to accuse him.

"Bess, okay parin naman sana kami until I agreed to go out with Isaiah."Her voice breaks so I get up on my chair and run to her with open arms. Sumunod si Carlene. "Nakokonsensiya ako. Ako lagi 'tong umaaway kay Camden pero ako 'tong gumagawa ng mali behind his back."

"Bess."sabay na anas namin ni Carlene.

"Please don't tell me you did something crazy with Isaiah."I feared.

"On our third date, we kissed."she cried out.

"Oh my gosh. Keam—"

"I know. Kaya balak kong kausapin mamaya si Camden. He doesn't deserve me."

"Hey, we're here for you. Kung ano man 'yong kailangan mong tulong, hangga't kaya ko, namin ni Carl, tutulungan ka namin."

Keam stretched out her hand to hold mine.

"Thank you, bess. Thank you for taking us out. Medyo gumaan 'yong pakiramdam ko na may nasabihan ako ng nararamdaman ko."

"No biggie. Anything for you, girlfriends."

"Uhm. Girls, would you hate me if I leave? Nasa labas si Tobi. He's up to something na sobrang nakakainis."Carlene dramatically told us.

Tumango kami ni Keam pareho so she immediately flounced away.

"I'm happy that you're here, Demi."

"Keam, I mean it. I'm always here for you. No matter what time of day, pwede mo 'kong kausapin."

"Sa tingin mo, tama ang gagawin ko?"tanong niyang nagpatahimik sa'kin ng saglit.

"Sino ako para magsabi kung ano 'yong tama? I barely even have a real boyfriend since last week."We both smiled at that. "Pero alam mo, you can always tell him the truth because he deserves it. Kung kailangang umabot sa hiwalayan, you'll know. On the spot, you'll know."

"Yeah, right. I'll just go with the flow. Basta dapat, masabi ko kay Camden ang totoo."

"Attagirl!"I chirped cheerily to give her high spirits. I think it worked because she smiled, a smile I always love about her. "Wait? Isn't that Camden?"I asked when I saw a tousled-haired guy sitting alone at the table on the corner. He looked busy while he kept his eyes on his phone.
