Jaycel

I noticed that she was caught off guard about what I said. "H-ha? W-what?"

Gosh! She's so cute!

"Sabi ko kumain ka na, I heard your tummy grumble oh." pang aasar ko nalang sakanya. Di ko din alam bat ko nasabi yun! Nakakahiya!

In those days spending time with Yumi, I already can say that I am attached to her already. Who would not? she's an amazing person.

She's also a clingy person once she's already comfortable with you. She loves talking about things, kahit nga nonsense 'yang topic niyo papatulan pa niya. Hahaha.

She would sometimes act like a baby out of nowhere! But I love her clingy side. Only for me!

I didn't know nga na I have possessive side, not until I noticed that I only want Yumi's attention only focused on me. On us.

I can say that I have a crush on her, but I don't want to say that I already like her.

Like and love is a deep words for me. Also, kakakilala palang namin sa isa't-isa. I want to take things slow. Kilalanin namin ang isa't-isa ganun.

Yumi is like a rare precious gem to me, and I want to take care of her all my life. She is so precious, she doesn't deserve to be hurt. She deserve to love and deserves to be loved.

Nakita ko naman na nakatanaw lang si Yumi sa kawalan.

The lights from the buildings are reflecting in her eyes.

She's so beautiful. Very very beautiful.

"Hoy! Okay ka lang? Matutunaw na 'ko sa titig mo eh." sabi niya at kinaway kaway pa ang kamay niya sa harapan ng mukha ko.

"I'm fine, Yums." I flashed a smile.

"Sus! Gandang ganda ka nanaman sakin eh!" she confidently said.

I let out a chuckle, "Maganda ka naman talaga." sabi ko. Now it's her time to chuckle.

"Bolera!" sabi niya at nag patuloy na kami sa pagkain. We just talked about random the whole night.

"Oh? 11pm na pala? We should get home.. baka gabihin ka pa pauwi ng dorm niyo, Jayce." she said afted glancing at her phone, probably checking the time.

"Let's go?" pag aaya ko kaya tumango siya. Nilinis lang namin ang aming mga pinag kainan at itiniklop ulit yung blanket.

It wasn't in my plan to bring her here. I was planning to bring her sana in a restaurant, but because both of us are stressed from our plates... the perfect night scenery here is perfect for us.

Itinapon na namin ang nga basura sa trash can na ipinalagay ko sa care taker nitong land ko. Actually it was my mom who hired a person to take care of this every month... Prolly cleaning this thrice a month, kaya malinis siya lagi.

This was my escape place back when I was still a rookie. Being a rookie kasi was a pressure, especially kung sumusunod ka sa mga yapak ng mga biterano.. Just like ate Bea.

Palagi ako dito pumupunta tuwing stress ako sa school and tuwing na pe-pressure ako sa volleyball. Imagine ikaw ang susunod sa yapak ng isang Bea De Leon. Kaya the pressure of being a middle blocker was on me. It was put on my shoulder, although, It was just me who puts pressure in every games and trainings, pero kasi kapag naka sunod ka sa isang biterano dapat maging maayos din performance mo sa mga games, para walang masabi ang iba.
