Chapter 48

JAEL'S POINT OF VIEW

Kamot ulo akong nag pa alalay kay Ross pabalik nang silid tulugan ko habang sya naman ay nag pipigil nang mga ngiti.

"Wag mo kasi ako ginugulat!" reklamo ko. Tuluyan nang lumabas ang mga ngiti na kanina nya pa tinatago.

"I'm sorry, you're spacing out po kasi." aniya. Pabiro ko syang sinamaan nang tingin pero lalo lang syang tumawa. Kanina pa 'to masaya eh.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I blurted out unexpectedly. Nahinto kami saglit sa pag akyat ng hagdan. Ross looked at me with a grin. "No..."

"Weh? Eh bakit sabi ni Apollo ikaw din daw dahilan kung bakit nag hiwalay sila ng girlfriend nya?" Bakas sa tono ko ang pag ka tampo. Hindi ko mapigilan!

Ross chuckled. "If you only knew, Jael..."

"Huh?" I didn't catch that. He shook his head, and we continued going upstairs. He seemed to notice I was waiting for his answer, so he playfully messed up my hair. "So, you think Apollo's ex and I had a thing?"

I hesitated for a moment. Sinabi ko ba yon? "So, hindi?"
