Chapter Twenty
Her Confession

ALEXEIN

It's been a week since the last time I talked to Lexi and I'm also not in the mood to meet everyone at hindi ko rin alam kung anong pumasok sa mga kokote ng mga to at binisita nila ako dito sa bahay.

"Sel, bakit hindi mo itext dito si Lexi para kumpleto tayo." sabi ni Dane habang ngumunguya ng pizza. "She's has a date today, hayaan na muna natin siya." Kumunot naman noo ko.

She has a date today? With whom? Agad agad? So yung nangyari sa Boracay wala lang sakanya yon?

"Sino naman?" curious na tanong ni Dane kaya napatingin din ako kay Selena hinihintay ang sagot niya. Tumingin din siya sa akin at ngumisi pero wala akong narinig na sagot niya ngunit ngumisi lang siya ng nakakainis.

Pinagtritripan ba ako nito?

"Why don't you guys check your Instagram account now to see who's the lucky guy---- Oh I mean the asshole she's dating right now." ngisi rin sa akin ni Aly, problema ba ng dalawang to sa akin? Pansin ko ang pagsusuplada nila magmula nung galing kaming Boracay.

Sa sobrang curious ko inopen ko rin ang account ko at dirediretsong posts agad ng magaling kong pinsan ang nakita ko. I checked his account halos naka sampu na yata siyang picture ni Lexi sa isang araw lang ang dami niya ring my story halos lahat yung date nila.

Ang saya niya at ang ganda ng ngiti niya. Ang ganda rin nilang tignan. It sucks that we both fell in love with the same person again, Ryan Sandoval.

And it more fucking sucks that I need to give way again for you and most especially for her. I don't want her to be judged by other people and most importantly I'm still not yet ready to come out, I can't... and I won't. I'm scared.

Plus she's also straight. I don't wanna ruin her life by dragging her down with me.

I was about to turn off my phone when I saw her post too. It was Ryan's back and her picture with Ryan, I can see that she's happy, she's really happy and I don't--- can't take a risk as much as possible I wanna play safe maybe I'm just going to admire you from afar Kathryn Lexi Torres since our feelings for each other is not right in people's eyes.

Uwian na namin, I saw our classmates leave one by one hanggang sa kami na lang ni Lexi yung naiwan, she's busy fixing her things kaya hindi na niya ako napansin. Aalis na sana siya nung nagsalita ako.

"Uh, Can we talk?" tanong ko sakanya, I don't know but I really need to talk to her, we need to clear things up. She's my friend and I don't wanna destroy our friendship, if that's the only thing to make her stay beside me,  I will do the right thing.

Nagulat siya nung nakita niya ako sa likod niya. "Y-yeah." kabadong sagot niya at kinuha ang bag niya saka tumayo. "Rooftop" saka na ako naglakad.

Nung nakarating na kami sa rooftop, wala dun yung tatlo. Hay mabuti na lang at ayokong may makarinig ng paguusapan namin. Umupo ako sa couch at umupo rin siya sa tabi ko.

I am nervous as hell I don't know how I'm going to start this shit pareho lang kaming tahimik.

Tumingin ako sakanya ng maramdaman ko na kinakabahan rin siya dahil hindi siya mapakali sa inuupuan niya. Hindi ko alam kung saan patungo tong usapan na ito pero bahala na! "I---Lexi, about--- about the kiss-" pinutol niya yung sasabihin ko.

"Kiera!" tawag niya sa akin at tumingin naman ako sa kanya. "I liked what happened between us and I didn't regret it." hearing those words from her felt like my world stop.
