Chapter 47
After an hour and half the movie ended, some of my cousins were already asleep in cold floor and I find Mitchel and Pido's sleeping position in couch uncomfortable. I bet they'll groan because of body pain tomorrow.
Tumayo ako para ibigay ang ispasyo kay Mitchel para maging komportable siya sa pagtulog. Tuloy parin ang inuman at pagbi-bidyoke sa labas. Hindi ko na nakita si Shey mula nang magpaalam siya sa akin kanina na lalabas.Lumabas rin ako ng bahay nila Tito at naghanap ng tahimik na lugar. Dinala ako ng mga paa ko sa pool side. Kumuha muna ako ng isang throw pillow sa mahabang sopa bago ilublob ang paa sa malaming na pool.I looked at my wristwatch, it's nearing three in the morning. I wonder if Rafus was still awake? I unconsciously took my phone out then created a message for him.Ako:Merry Christmas, baby!After waiting a few minutes for his respond, my phone finally vibrated.Rafus:Merry Christmas.<Kaugnay na kabanata

"Slaine? What are you doing?" Dan brows furrowed and keeps on putting distance between us. Imbis na kumalas ay mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang pagkapit. I may be look like a leech right now, but I need to save Crezst."Uhm wala naman Dan. I'm just surprised that you're also here." I said with a sweet smile, but actually my knees are trembling because of nervousness. Shit we'll be caught!Sa isahang hila, tuluyan siyang nakalayo sa akin. Napatulala ako dahil mukha siyang galit pero kontrolado naman iyon. "Slaine..." Nahihirapan niyang sambit sa pangalan ko. "I'm in a relationship with your best friend and I love her so much. You're aware of that."Nanginig ako dahil sobrang seryoso ang pagkasabi ni Dan niyon. Feel like I was caught by a strict professor doing ruckus in class. I swallow hard as if there's a lump on my throat, my forehead is dispersing cold sweats."Dan, it's not what you—""This is not a place for the drama. Move aside, you're

Even though the performance proper had started and there's a tribe performing in front, my attention wasn't there. My eyes were still pinned on Hatryx.Yes, I have heard rumors back then that Rafus has an older brother. But since Rafus was the only one who was oftenly seen in the Cattaneo's mansion, those rumors got burried. It's not that I don't appreciate Hatryx's existence, it's just that I'm still shock and trying to process the revelation I have found out right now.The most embarrassing thing I've done today was that, I got stunned when the MC's announced that Hatryx's a Cattaneo while I was on call with Rafus! If only the soil would diverge and ate me alive. Then I won't have to worry about what Rafus will think of me."Are you okay, Slaine?" Jangkit worriedly asked and it made me regain my senses. I looked at him then smiled, "I'm okay, Jangkit."I'm trying hard not to look at Hatryx and focused my attention on the performers, an

I hugged myself as the cold wind brushed against my skin. I've been staying here for couple of minutes, waiting for the tricycle while watching people from different direction who walk passed by me.My heart almost jumped out of its ribcage when the car beeped in front of me. It's a steel gray coupe car. I was really annoyed. The driver was rude, does he or she knew I'm already on the side— on the side walk?The passenger's window slowly moved downwards and my brows furrowed when I was welcomed by Rojas' smirk."Hey there beautiful, are you going home?" He asked and the smirk never left his face. If he's not Rafus' cousin, I swear I have already punched him hard. "Oh, you seem to be in a bad mood?""Sige nga, ikaw tumayo dito sa kinatatayuan ko at bigla kitang bubusinahan. Tingnan natin kung masisiyahan ka, siguro nga ay baka humagalpak ka pa sa katatawa." Puno nang sarkasmo kong sabi at hindi ko maiwasang mapairap."Pasensiya ka na sa pa

After we all settled with the food, we started eating in silence though sometimes Rojas is asking Rafus some things.Pasimpleng iniabot ni Rafus sa akin ang plato ng hiniwa-hiwang steak at hindi ko alam kung nakita ba nila Hatryx at Rojas iyon. Maybe Rafus intentionally order another steak for me. My heart palpitated with that thought but I'm a bit problematic on how to finish the food since it's too much for me.Naubos ko na ang fried chicken at nakatatlong subo palang ako ng spaghetti ay nakaramdam na ako ng pagkabusog. Tumingin ako kay Rafus na nangungusap pero hindi niya ako pinansin na ikinahalumbaba ko."Baby... I can't finish the food. I'm full already," I murmur in plea. I lightly poked his thigh just beside mine, doon lang siya nag-angat ng tingin at lumingon sa akin. "Please, I can't anymore."Narinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya at hinila ang plato ko papunta sa kaniya. I can feel Hatryx's intense stare on me but I couldn't care on hi

I frantically lost my mind that night. I felt euphoric and the happenings were surreal. The butterflies in my stomach were still there everytime I recall that Rafus has also the urge to respond on the kiss but he's under of self-suppression. In my mind, I asked why would he control himself? I would be glad if he responded because that only means he's liking the kiss, I have an effect on him.Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko ng unan saka nagsisigaw sa sobrang kilig. That's my first kiss with him and I can't believe to myself that I am this bold to initiate the kiss!Napaangat lang ako ng ulo nang may narinig na ingay galing sa labas. Napatayo ako at inayos ang strap ng aking cami bago lumabas ng kwarto. Napawi ang ngiti ko sa sumalubong sa akin.I saw Shey who just entered our house. Nanay and Tatay were still asleep, probably got exhausted of their usual activities yesterday. The disappointment in my face is evident and my heart's breaking everytime she

"Nakapagsimula ka na ng accomplishment report mo?" Bulong sa akin ni Helen, sinisigurong hindi marinig nila Jangkit para hindi masira ang mood naming lima ngayon."Yes, I've already started my accomplishment report though they still lacks some information." I honestly answered. I'm saying the truth and even though I felt well-rested in my Holiday vacation, there were times that I can't stop worrying myself about school work. It's not that I'm burning a midnight oil doing my accomplishment report, I'm writing if I feel like doing it."Buti ka pa, ako nga kahit isang pangungusap ay wala pang naumpisahan."I patted Helen's right shoulder then flashed a small smile. "Don't worry, the deadline is in two months from now and it's long enough for you to finish your report."Helen smiled and nodded. Bumukas ng usapan si Jangkit at lahat kaming lima ang kasali. It's fun to catch up a bit with my friends about their experiences during Holiday Vacation. Hindi

Disappointment creeps my body, when I haven't found Rafus' intense eyes as I enter the convenience store. Every seconds had passed, negativity consumes me.Rafus is avoiding me... and it make me feel less likely to be given attention by him. I kept on flooding him texts, explaining my side about what he had seen earlier. I tried calling him while I'm on my way to the convenience store but it's just ringing. After too many attempts, I came back to my senses. I shouldn't force him to talk to me and even though it bothers me, I should give him space.Sumeryoso ako sa pagtatrabaho hanggang sa hindi ko na namalayan ang oras. Kung hindi ko pa narinig ang pagtunog ang tiyan ko dulot ng pagkagutom, hindi pa siguro ako kakain."Kumain ka na muna, Slaine. Ako na ang bahala dito sa counter," masuyong sabi ni Ate Reive.May kinuha siya sa eco bag niyang nakalagay sa gilid at inabot iyon sa akin. "It's home-baked cookies, galing 'to sa uhm—Lola ko. Napansin ko

The next following days, we could feel the Valentine's just around the corner. There were illustration boards with captions about love hanging on the corridor and paper cutted hearts attached on its pillars. May ginawang confession board ang school government namin katabi ng School's bulletin board. Nakadepende sa mga estudyante kung gaano karaming confessions ang gagawin nila doon at kung magpapakila ba sila o hindi."Uy magbasa tayo ng confessions nila! Mukhang nadagdagan ang mga nakalagay doon." Ani Jangkit at mukhang kinikilig."Pwede ba 'yon?" Tanong ko."Oo pwede iyon," sagot ni Dani. "Kasi kung ayaw nilang mabasa ang mga confessions nila, hindi sana sila sumulat at idinikit doon sa confession board. Malamang mababasa iyon ng kung sino kasi nasa publiko ang board, maski nga college students na napapadaan dito ay binabasa din ang mga confessions nila."Kapagkuwan ay napatango ako at nagpahila sa kanila. Hindi ko nga alam kung ano ang pumasok
