I'll be back my baby

Chapter 12 (court you)

Court you

"Bye girls!" Paalam ko sa kanila when the decided to leave us alone na.

Lumapit bahagya sa akin si Rizzia na pinagtaka ko naman.

"Zarrine I just want to say na mag collage pa lang tayo ha. Pero kung hindi n'yo mapigilan don't forget to use-" nanlaki ang mata ko nang marealize kung ano ang sinasabi n'ya. So I cut her off.

"Gaga! Walang ganon na mangyayari!" I rolled my eyes ate her.

All our friends are now laughing! Argh!

"Sus! hindi mo yon masasabi! Madali ka titiklop lalo't na wala ka pang karanasan!" Dinuro duro n'ya pa ako!

I raised my eyebrow.

"Hmm?? Bakit? Ikaw may karanasan ka na ba huh? Why you already know it, huh?" I smirked at her.

"W-wala ah! Let's go na nga!" She immediately turned her back at us. She walked straight to the elevator. Sa next floor lang naman ang unit n'ya so kaya n'ya na magisa.

"Bye na din Zarrine. We'll go now." Paalam nila sa akin.

I just nodded. When they started walking, I closed the door.

I firmly closed my eyes before I turned para makatulog na din.

Nadatnan ko sa couch si Jazzone. When he saw me, he tapped the couch beside him. I slowly sat beside him.

"Now, pwede ko na ba tapusin ang explanation ko?" Tanong n'ya saka iniipit sa likod ng tainga ko ang ilang hibla ng buhok.

"O-okay..."

"Pinauwi nila ako sa Pangasinan because of ate Jovi. Hindi kami nagkakasundo. When I arrived at Manila I stayed their for about 2 weeks. I'm about to leave but nabalitaan namin ang bad news. My grand father died. Umuwi kami ulit ng Laguna but that time sinama namin ang cousin ko. She's my closest cousin. Tinutulungan n'ya ako sa pagiging CEO ng company namin with my young age. Noong nakita mo na niyakap ko s'ya that was because she needed comfort that time. Noong bago ulit ako umuwi na talaga sa Pangasinan gustong gusto kita kausapin but... fuck! Natakot ako. Natakot ako na masaktan kita. I don't like long distance relationship so kahit na m-mahal kita noon pa man. I've decided na... maging cold sayo. It fucking hurt me so much Zarrine. Hanggang dumating ang point na hindi mo na ako kinukulit. I thought I can forgot you but I was wro-" i cut him off using my hug.

"Tapos na yon Jazzone. It's in the past now. Let's start over again." Kumalas s'ya sa pagkayap namin and he looked straight to my eyes. He put his palms at my face. Marahan n'yang hinahaplos ang aking pisngi.

"I'll court you. I don't want to be fast. I respect you." Malambing n'yang sabi.

"O-okay..." after I said that he kissed my forehead. He helped me to stood up. Iginaya n'ya ako papasok ng bedroom ko.

"I'll sleep at the couch. You need to rest baby."

"Good night Jazzone." After I said that I slowly closed the door against us.

Nag shower muna ako saka ko sinuot ang nighties ko.

I finally slept again with a smile.

•••

Nagising ako dahil may humalik sa aking noo. When I opened my eyes I saw him.

"Good morning baby." Bati ni Jazzone sa akin.

"Good morning." I held his hand na naka tungkod sa kama ko. I pulled him beside me. Nakita kong nagulat s'ya sa ginawa ko pero agad din namang naka bawi. Siniksik ko ang sarili ko sa kanya. My lips almost kiss his neck. He hugged me tight. I felt him kissed my hair.
