Chapter 32

Chapter 32

"Hey! Let's hangout! Free ako today and I missed you guys!" Na-iimagine ko na ang pagkakasimangot niya sa kabilang linya. "Plus, I don't have a date this day so please, punan niyo ang pagkaka-lonely ko?"

Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Theo. Pauwi na sana kami nang biglang tumawag si Vee sa akin.

Sabi ni Theo ay iconnect ko na lang daw 'yon sa kotse para marinig niya rin daw ang sasabihin ni Vee.

"Asa'n ka ba ngayon?" I asked.

"I'm near Theo's place!" excited na sabi na na para ba'ng hindi 'yon coincidence na andoon siya ngayon.

It's like she already planned it.

Dahil nakatingin ako kay Theo, tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay na parang nagtatanong kung ano na ba ang plano niya.

"So we'll hang there," sagot naman ni Theo.

"Aha! Sabi na nga ba at magkasama kayo! Sana all may jowa!" she hopefully said.

Umiling naman ako habang si Theo ay ngumisi lang.

He bit his lower lip to stifle his smile.

"Shut up, Vee! I heard that you've got yourself a boyfriend. At saka, maka sana all 'to, hindi pa nga kami ni Theo!" bulyaw ko sa kanya sa phone. I still haven't taken my eyes off of Theo kaya kitang-kita ko ang pagkakamangha niya sa akin.

What? Did I say something wrong?

"Hindi pa pala ha!" Vee said, emphasizing the pa.

So that's why Theo is smirking.

Napailing na lang ako at iniwasan siya ng tingin dahil pakiramdam ko ay namumula ako.

"Oh, natahimik?" Vee teased.

"Shut up!" sabi ko naman at hindi pa rin tinitignan si Theo.

"Oh, g ba, Theo?" rinig kong sabi ni Vee sa kabilang linya.

"Sure. G lang," natatawang sabi ni Theo at inend na ang call.

'Di ba niya sasabihin kay Vee na papunta na kami? O kung saan maghintay?

Nang tumahimik ng matagal si Theo, agad ko siyang nilingunan at nakitang may pinipindot-pindot siya sa cellphone ko.

"Sasama ka ba?" Theo asked when he returned my phone to me which I immediately grabbed.

"Sa bahay mo? Sure! It's been ages since I've hangout with Vee and you together." I said as I scanned through my phone.

Nakita kong may sinend siyang text para kay Vee.

To: Venus

Just wait for us. We'll be on our way home. Kita na lang, Venus.

"Okay then. Let's go."

Inandar na ni Theo ang kotse at umalis na rin kami.

While looking outside the window, I remembered how I got so close to Theo to the point that I even hugged him!

Maybe that's also one of the reasons why he's smiling from ear to ear.

Mas lalo naman akong namula sa naisip ko. God, what happened to me and I did such a thing?

Not that it's bad... right? It isn't right?

I didn't ask for his consent! My God.

Naiibahan din ako sa sarili ko dahil walang problema kong naiyakap si Theo. Not that I have something against it, in fact I'm actually happy that I've moved on from my trauma about touching other people especially boys. My mind is buffering about that information, but I guess it's alright.
