What if Taylor lived longer?
TAYLOR's POV
"Tay!" I heard Kira shout my name. Tey... That's it, that's the right pronunciation of my name. Nilingon ko ang pinto kung saan siya pumasok at nakita kong may bitbit siyang isang plastic.
Hindi ko alam kung ano iyon pero mukhang pinaghirapan niyang dalhin iyon para sa akin. She sat down beside me and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
"Make hula ka." She said and smiled widely at me. Itinaas niya ang hawak na plastic. She looks forward to me guessing what she brought for me.
"Banana cue?" I asked.
She frowned and shook her head.
"Wala namang stick, Tay!" She exclaimed. "Are you teasing me ba?"
I chuckled and rested my arm on her chair and stared at her. Nakatingin siya sa plastic na dala niya. I chuckled to myself... She looks really cute.
"Hmmm, what is it? I'm not good in guessing games." I said.
She frowned for a while but smiled after. Inilabas niya mula sa plastic ang dala niyang pagkain para sa aming dalawa.
"Darling... Anong laman nito?" I smiled widely at her when she gave me a lunchbox.
"I cooked that one. Pinilit ko si Mommy na turuan akong magluto. Pero hindi ko na uulitin... Napaso ako!" Pinakita niya sa akin ang daliri niyang may band-aid.
I looked at her and she's pouting as she stares at her wounded finger.
"My lalove cooked for me." I chuckled and reached for her face. Pinatakan ko ng halik ang noo niya saka siya tiningnan. "I appreciate your effort."
Binuksan ko ang lunch box at tumambad sa akin ang malapit ng masunog na fried chicken. I bit my lower lip... She made effort in cooking this one. Hindi naman yata ako mamamatay kung kakainin ko ito kahit malapit ng masunog yung balat?
I looked at her and she's expecting a reaction from me. Kinuha ko ang kutsara at tinidor na dinala niya para sa akin. I took a bite from her chicken... Wow, ang lutong, a?
"Masarap!" I said with wide eyes.
She smiled widely and clapped her hands. Kumuha siya ng tissue saka pinunasan ang tabi ng labi ko.
"Talaga?" She asked me. Mukhang hindi pa naniniwala sa sinabi ko. "Hindi ka nagsisinungaling? Baka sinasabi mo lang iyan kasi girlfriend mo ako at ayaw mo akong masaktan."
Umiling ako sa sinabi niya saka uminom ng tubig.
"Masarap siya, lalove. Nasunog lang yung balat pero masarap pa rin!" I said.
I dragged her chair near mine. Mukhang nagulat pa siya dahil sa ginawa ko.
"I love the idea that you tried so hard to cook this one for me." I smiled and pinched her cheek. "I love you."
"I love you." She said.
Ako naman ngayon ang nagulat sa sinabi niya. She bit her lower lip and smiled a little at me. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko at niyakap siya.
"Baka may makakita..." She said.
"Hmm. It's okay." I whispered.
Gusto kong samantalahin ang pagkakataon na sinabi niya sa akin iyon. She seldom tells me those words... And when she does, I feel like I am in a new world. That's only dominated by her.
"Namimihasa ka na sa pagyakap sa akin." She teased.
"I love your hugs." I chuckled.
Maya-maya lang ay kumalas na ako sa yakap saka tinapos ang kinakain kong lunch. Kaming dalawa lang sa classroom kung nasaan kami ngayon dahil abandonado na ito at wala ng gumagamit.
