The One that got away

Chapter 23

Thomas' POV

September 14, 2013.

We finally defeated UST. It was not an easy game for us. UST is a big contender. They will next face Ateneo for a knock-out game and I would definitely love to win UST over Ateneo on wednesday. #an1moUSTe :))))

I know I wasn't the Thomas every La Sallian wants to see playing in the court a while ago. I don't know. After the suspension kasi parang nawalan ako ng ganang maglaro e or should I say naaatat lang akong matapos 'tong 2nd round para naman makasama ko si Georgina? Hahahaha. I'm just happy I saw her last week and was able to hug and kiss her pa. Oh, stop it, Thomas! Kilig e! :)))

I was the last one in the dug out to take a shower. Every body were already out and maybe in the bus already or still having their time with their ever supporting fans.

"Kuya, papicture."

"Idol, papicture."

"Kuya, pwede po papicture?"

Picture dito, picture dyan. Even the Thomasians are supporting our team and I can't thank them enough for that. I love UST because of Georgina. :D Hahaha. Sana naman kasi nanuod si Georgina e. :(( Kaso baka busy si Ganda! Uggggh. After 25 minutes or so, fans we're all out already. I was just few steps away from our bus when...

"Hey! Tinalo mo UST ko sa tres mo ha?" I heard someone and it was Georgina yelled out as she was walking towards me and as I was about to go to our bus. She was being pushed and being bumped by the people here at MOA.

"I thought you're not coming?" I mouthed stunningly surprise as I held out my hand and reach her's so I can assure that she won't be taken away by the sea of people in the mall.

"You seems suprise to my presence. Hindi naman pwede yun na di ako manunuod no." She whispered to me, smiling as I come and hug her. I can barely hear her because of the noise of the crowd.

"Hindi ka naman kasi nagsabi e. Edi sana, di na lang ako sumabay sakanila tas sinama ko na lang yung kotse ko. Are you going home na ba? You can come with us sa bus. Asa taft yung car ko e. So I can bring you home safe and sound." I whispered back. People starting to drift away and I can now hear Georgina clearer than earlier.

"Uhhm. Nope, are you tired?" She ask, and start swaying my arms. :'''''>

"George. Obviously not. No. I'm good. Why? What is it?" I said and start to worry as I put my training bag down for a while.

"Isa isa lang naman. I just... You know..."

"What?"

"I want you to... Uhhhm... Kasi sa finals namin...." She's shaking. "Thomas, I want you to come with me..."

"George, don't suspense the topic." I said calmly and start leaning on the wall.

"Okay. I know you don't like this and of course, you won't but Thomas, please?" Her puffy face on and natatalo ako dito. Waaaaaah.

"What's the thing that I don't like?"

"Ano...Sorry ha? Dapat itetext na lang kita dito e. Kaso kasi baka di mo makita kasi di ka naman ata nagbubukas ng phone mo. Tatawagan nga dapat kita kaso lang baka naman nasa training ka o kaya naman nagpapahinga ka. Tsaka ano kasi e---- Ano--- aaaaahhh------"

"Ano?" I said smiling. Feeling so loved by the woman in front of me.

"Kasi gusto kasi kitang makita. Baka kasi busy ka na naman tas wala na ulit time." She said bowing down but I lifted her head.

"Pa-hug nga." People start looking to us and maybe start talking about us and I don't really care about it.

"Thomas, ang dami kayang tao." She's trying to push me away. Hahaha. Cutie. "Anyway, Thomas? Dba sa finals may mga requirements kami? Uhhm. If you would like to come with me. Thomas, please."
