Chapter 44: More Than Mere Words

Chapter 44: More than Mere Words 

"Prince alis na 'ko." Aya reached up and kissed me. I pulled her closer and tried to deepen the kiss. She responded with equal enthusiasm and I groaned when her tongue followed mine inside my mouth. Marunong na talaga siyang humalik and too many times these past days na ako ang nag-ho-hold-back kasi baka mangyari ang hindi pa dapat.

"Tama na," she whispered against my lips. "Umakyat na sila sa bus."

"Sandali lang baby," I hugged her tight. "One minute na lang."

"Hala, baka maiwan na 'ko," she murmured as she returned my hug. "Bye na. Text kita pag may signal."

"Miss na kita agad," I sighed as I let her go. She opened the car's door.

"I love you," she kissed me one last time.

"I love you more. Sunduin kita sa Saturday," I took her bags and brought it for her. "One pm, di ba?" She nodded her head.

"Bye baby girl," Adam caught her in a hug pagdaan namin sa kotse niya. Sa totoo lang di ko alam kung bakit andito siya pero katabi niya si Rin na naka-lean din sa kotse.

"Bye Kuya, ingat kayo ni Rin," Aya kissed his cheek. "Inggit ako."

"Syempre, iingatan ako ni Z. Sayang sana kasama kayo ni Prince," I saw Rin raise an eyebrow at that.

"Okay lang po may next time naman eh. I love you kuya."

We reached the bus and I went up para dalhin yung gamit niya. Nagbubulungan yung mga blockmates niya at ilan sa kanila ay tumatahimik kapag natatapat kami sa upuan nila."Bye na talaga," she kissed my cheek as I put her bag on the overhead compartment. Nakita kong nakaupo si Nathan sa may likuran at halatang umiiwas. Buti marunong siyang lumugar.

"See you baby. I 'll count the minutes until you're back," Okay, may ilang tumili at nagsisikuhang girls. May mga pumito at biniro si Aya. Namula siya ng todo.

"Ay grabe ka talaga. Cheesecorn Prince," she pushed me. "Sige na, bye na talaga. Papagalitan na tayo ng prof."

"Kaya naman pala... Sige na iho, ipinagbilin na si Aya ng mommy niya sa akin," Our professor clapped his shoulder.

"Thank you po sir," Nahiya naman ako sa pag-antala sa kanila. Bumaba na ako sa bus at bumalik kay Shiro. Ako ang magbabalik sa sasakyan niya sa bahay nila.

"Breakfast tayo," anyaya ni Adam nang umalis na ang bus. "Anong gusto mo, Z?" Rin shrugged her shoulders.

"Kahit ano."

"S'an ba nakaka-order ng kahit ano? Eh kung palaka ang orderin ko, okay lang sa'yo?" He flicked her ear and she swatted his head.

"Leche ka," she slapped his shoulder hard. "Bakit ba may fascination ka sa palaka?"

"Sweet mo talaga, Z." He grinned at her and she scowled at him. "Wag ka ma-in-love sa akin, ha? Hindi ako palaka, at lalong hindi ako prinsipe."

"Anong koneksyon?"

"Lagi mo akong tinatawag na leche. Gatas yun," he pinched her cheek. "Love ko kaya ang leche flan."

"Eww... nevermind. Hindi ka na leche, peste ka na lang." Pinalis niya ang kamay ni Adam. "Grabe ang lakas, kailangan ko nang sobrang kapal na jacket sa climb," she pulled the edges of her zebra-striped jacket closed.

"Bakit pa? Handa naman akong yakapin ka?"

"Hindi na ma-suffocate pa ako sa kapal mo," she pushed off his car. "May class na ako in thirty minutes. Ano na?"
