Kiss by kiss (Completed)

Chapter Thirty Six

Trusting love to fate is a risk. What if fate decided to play a trick on you?

"Seriously, Cess." Medyo annoyed si Joaquin sa declaration ni Cess.

"Princess naman..." Sabat naman ni JC.

"I know you're just tired. Let's go home." Joaquin pulled her arm.

"No! Sam and I will go home now." Lumakad papalayo si Cess sa kanilang dalawa.

"Way to go, Joaquin." Sabi ni JC.

"You know what San Miguel... You don't know when to give up do you?" He taunted.

"I'll do anything for her to be mine. Mark my words. Anything." JC gritted and left.

Joaquin was left pondering on JC's words. Alam niya na kaya ni JC gawin lahat and that's what bothers him more.

-Cess-

Finally nagawa kong iwanan ang dalawang iyon. I need to concentrate on my studies first kasi malapit na magtapos ang first sem. 2 months to go and it's September. My birthmonth.

"Uy, bes! kanina pa kita hinahanap. Saan ka nangggaling?" Tanong ni Sam sa akin.

"Uwi na tayo." Sabi ko sa kanya.

"Okies. Antok na din ako eh. 8:45pm pa lang. Hindi ko nakikita ang mga suitors mo ah."

"Nagkita kamin tatlo kanina."

"What?! The ultimate face off tapos hindi ko man lang nasaksihan?"

"It was irritating if you ask me. Sabi ko mamimili ako sa birthday ko."

"Ano?! So seryoso ka doon? Bakit naman?"

"I want to give both a chance. Basta it's complicated."

"Oo nga ang gulo mo. Itulog mo na lang yan. Lapit na midterms natin."

Sabay kaming umuwi ni Sam dahil may sariling kotse siya at on the way lang naman ang bahay ko.

Nakarating ako sa bahay at tulog na si tatay. Matutulog na sana ako nang may ma-receive akong texts.

From: J <3

Two months is so long as I miss you everyday but you'll be worth the wait.

Until then my siren.

From:JC

Whoever you'll choose. I hope it will make you happy, princess. See you on your debut.

Hindi ko na ni-replyan silang dalawa at natulog na.

Nagising ako nang may tumunog. Hinablot ko ang cellphone ko at sinagot.

"Hi Cess! I missed you! I heard malapit na debut mo! Can I invite myself? Actually, I want to be your party planner!" Sabi ni Pia on the other line. Halatang mas excited pa sa akin.

"Oh hi Pia. Paano mo nalaman?" Antok kong sagot.

"Of course kay Joaquin mo. Don't worry kasi labor of love eto and you're my friend na. Drop by on my office anytime so we can plan it okay? See yah! Bye!" And she ended the call.

Grabe 4am pa lang at binulabog na ako ni Pia sa debut na iyan. Hindi kami mayaman para gawing engrande iyon.

Bumalik na lang ako sa tulog.

"Cess... Anak, gising na." Tawag ni tatay at kumakatok sa pinto.

"Lalabas na po." Lumabas ako at may nakahain nang pagkain. Na-guilty ako kasi laging maaga gumising si tatay para magluto ng agahan.
