We're Only Getting Older (Change Series #1)

Chapter 09

"Oh, gosh!"

I feel like I am blushing because of what Steve said to me. Nag-iwas na lang ako ng tingin. I grabbed my phone to check if my sister texted me already. I also opened my data and saw that Brielle Liana replied to my story, I'm sure, she'll just tease me again because my IG story is Steve. Hindi ko naman sila inaasar noong time nila ni Drew, ah? Hmp!

(bellacalynn): blianab replied to your story.

blianab: ang harot harot!

bellacalynn: Guilty, your honor.

blianab: bwiset! Lagot ka sakin kapag nagkita tayo

bellacalynn: Love you!

blianab: Landi well.

I laughed and went to notification.

gonzalesteve tagged you in a post.

I saw my picture looking at the window of the ferris wheel. He is holding my hand. Oh! That was the reason why he asked for my hand. For him to take a picture.

Also, it has a caption.

'Happiness'

"I hate you!" I shouted at Steve. I wanted to cry! I'm so touched.

"Why? What did I do?" he looks worried.

"You're making me happy." I pouted.

He smiled. "Glad I did, that's what I want from the very start."

I decided to leave a comment on his post.

bellcalynn: Likewise :)

I saw him smiling when he saw my comment. He really does makes me happy.

From: Ate
Uwi ka na! Hinahanap ka nina Daddy.

"Oh, my gosh, Steve!" I panicked.

Napaayos siya ng upo. "What happened?"

"I think, we should go na. Hinahanap na raw ako nina Daddy." I stood up. Dinala ko na lang 'yung milktea at turks.

"Please drive as fast as you can." natataranta kong sabi when I entered the car.

"Calm down," he's fixing my seatbelt.

How can I calm down? Lagot ako!

"Sorry, Cal." he said while driving.

"For what?" I looked at him.

"Mapapagalitan ka because of me."

"It's not because of you, it's because of me. Kasalanan ko naman na hindi ako nagpaalam."

"Still, I'm at fault here. Kapag napagilatan ka pa..." he stopped, he must be really concerned.

"Did I make you happy?" I asked.

He looked at me for a bit. "Of course."

"Then it's worth it, all the pagalit is worth it." I smiled too. "Don't be sad, I asked to go there to make you happy so please, smile?"

He smiled. "Oo na po." his eyes went back on the road. I smiled at him kahit sa totoo lang, gusto nang lumabas ng puso ko dito sa kotse at mauna na siya magpaliwanag kay Daddy dahil sa kaba.

It was almost 10:00 PM when we arrived at our house.

"I'll go with you, I'll explain to them." Steve initiated.

"No, no! This is not the perfect time for you to talk to them, I can handle this, Steve." I removed my seatbelt.

"Are you sure?" he assured.
