UPDATE (8)

Jade Aragon's Point of View;

"Hi!" He said with his lowest tone and sat in front of me.

I looked at him and awkwardly smiled, "H-Hello...?" I stammered. Shit, why the hell am I stammering? T_T

He genuinely smiled, oh god! I think my heart fell. He's so handsome. "You seemed alone." He stated while sipping his own frappuccino.

I nodded, "M-May h-hiniㅡ uh, hinihintay lang ako." Ugh, bakit ba ako sobrang kinakabahan ngayon. Pinapawisan na rin ako nang malamig. >_<

Tumango-tango naman siya at tumitig sa akin, "Who? Javier?" I don't know if is it just me or if I really saw his eyes... sad and lonely.

Napailing ako, "No, may iba akong hinihintay." Sinikap kong sabihin. "I was waiting for Chase." I almost whispered. Nahihiya kasi ako eh.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at biglang naningkit, "That bastard." Asik niya at napakuyom ang kamao niya.

Napakamot naman ako, "Ha? Bakit?" Oo na, ako na talaga ang tsismosa.

Napailing si Darius at tinitigan ako, "Nothing..." Tatayo na sana siya kaso pinigilan ko.

Hinila ko ang braso niya, "Pwede mo ba akong samahan muna hanggang sa dumating si Chase?" Pakiusap ko, ayoko naman na mapanis ang laway ko dito at tumirik ang mga mata ko sa kakahintay sa best friend ni Darius, 'no!

He stared at me for a bit and sighed, "Okay." And he nodded.

Napangiti ako, grabe ang saya lang. "Anong ginagawa mo nga pala dito sa Libis?" Tanong ko sa kanya, ang alam ko kasi taga-Makati siya, para mapadpad siya dito sa Libis nang walang dahilan... napaka-imposible naman na 'ata n'un, hindi ba?

Napa-iwas siya nang tingin sa akin at napahigop sa frappuccino niya, "Uh, Iㅡ I..." Napa-isip siya, "I visited Chen, yes. Right, I visited Chen lately, he's one of my teammates." Sabi niya, he was slightly stuttering at first.

Napakamot ako sa batok ko, does he have to explain himself to me? Well, I asked him why is he here but, he explained too much. "A-Ah!" I awkwardly nodded and stared at my cup of coffee.

The both of us filled with silence, it took us a couple of minutes before one of us started to say something. And obviously, it wasn't me. I'm too nervous and I really felt awkward having him in front of me. Though I don't want him out of my sight, I just really felt like this unusual fast palpitations of my heart. It was like my heart is crying because of joy. Crazy, but it's how and what I feel when he is around.

He cleared his throat, that caught my attention. Kaya agad akong napaangat ng tingin sa kanya. "Chase texted me, he can't make it." Ngayon ko lang napansin na kanina pa pala siya nagtetext, he's using Galaxy Note II as his cellular phone while me here, just using iPhone 3GS. He is really an effin' rich kid.

My mouth literally hanged open. Did Chase really made me look like a fool waiting for him? Inindian niya ako dito! Kung wala pa pala si Darius dito, nagmukha akong tanga dito kakahintay sa kanya. I can't believe him! "W-What?!" I controlled my temper.

Darius scrolled his phone and looked at me, "Family emergency." He explained in a two word sentence. I guess that he noticed that I'm effin' getting mad.

Napatungo na lang ako, ano nga ba ang magagawa ko? Family emergency daw eh. Hindi naman masiyadong importante 'tong pag-uusapan sana namin (sa side ni Chase), pero sana nagtext man lang siya, 'di ba? Kahit na benefit ko naman kasi nandito sa harap ko si Darius.

Niligpit ko na ang gamit ko at tumayo, it's getting dark though. "Uhㅡ una na 'ko." Sabi ko kay Darius na pinagmamasdan lang ako mula pa kanina.

He smiled, "Can I come with you?" His facial expression is smiling but I saw his eyes pleading.
