How Far Love Can Take You? (On going)

6. The one with the kiss.

"Hmm...." I groaned when I heard a noise. I'm still so sleepy. I feel like I just slept in seconds.

The knock came again. Sino ba yan?

The side of my bed sank. Who ever sat on my bed tapped my cheek. Jeez, mommy please help. My eyes hurts.

"Miss Gabby, you need to go to school na po." A voice said. It's familiar actually.

"Hmmm." I groaned and turned my back to the other side.

"Hala may pasok ka oy." The voice spoke again. I wanna punch someone. I'm so sleepy.

I can't handle it already. I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed it gently. I faced the other side again to see who ever it is. But my eyes widened when I met Paul's expressive eyes. But I got shocked more when I saw him wearing his uniform pants and polo already. His hair's also in a neat style. Seems like his ready to go to school now. School. School? Oh fuck! It's Monday!

I automatically jumped on my bed when I realized that I overslept. I do freaking have a classes. Damn it!

"Hey.. slowly Gabby. Madapa ka." I heard Paul said. I remembered what we did last night kaya matagal akong nakatulog.

I lazily went to bed after my heart to heart talk with Paul on the rooftop. After telling him that I have a bad past but not really telling the whole story yet, we talked more.

"Ang jologs mo naman!" I told him. I can't help but laugh to his stories. Eh ang kulit niya naman pala talaga. We talked about his doings noong high school. It's not really bad though. Nakakatawa nga eh.

"Alam ko, pero past is past. Mas pogi na 'ko ngayon." He told me. Ang kulit talaga.

Madami pa kaming pinag-usapan at tawa lang kami ng tawa. I decided to tell him pag-nandyan na silang lahat. Sinabi ko lang sa kanya na may nangyaring masama sa Manila kaya ako napadpad dito kaya sabi niya naman,

"Whenever you're ready, Gab. Take it all out but hinay hinay lang din. It really takes time to heal." Tumatango niyang sabi.

"Thank you for listening. Sasabihin ko din naman sa inyo. But tama ka, it takes time." He smiled after my reply.

When the clock hits midnight pumasok na kami para makatulog. But guess what? I couldn't sleep. I lazily went to bed and tried to keep myself asleep but I just couldn't. All I can think is him. His expressive eyes.... that are also so dazzling.

I stood up and checked the time. It's four am! I've been thinking about him for straight hours! Gosh! He's so lucky to be on my mind.

It was the first time na nakausap ko siyang hindi kami nag-aasaran. It was really great to know his other side. It felt so good ng may napaglalabasan ka ng mga hinaing mo and also to have someone to laugh with. Last night, mas nakilala ko si Paul. Hindi pa naman ang lahat tungkol sa kanya but still. I also learned that his from Bantayan Island (an Island here in Cebu) kaya siya nag-rerent ng apartment kasi his home is in there. Naging city boy lang siya noong nag college siya dito. Mas better daw kasi ang university dito compare don sa kanila. I want to go to his home town tuloy when he told me about the beaches and the delicious foods. Sabi niya pa wala dawng problema, anytime pwede daw akong pumunta doon.

I checked the clock on my side table and it was still 7:00 am. Our class will start on 8:20 am. I looked at Paul who's sitting on my bed, laughing. I picked Yna's pillow on her bed near me and threw it on him.

"Akala ko late na 'ko." I told him and went to the bathroom.

"Oy pasalamat ka nga ginising kita!" He said and followed me on the bathroom. I stopped on the door to face him.
