Begin Again #Wattys2015

Outburst

Geoff knocked on Adela's door bright and early the next morning. He rapped on her door na parang nambubulabog talaga. After a few moments ay bumukas na ang pinto a crack and Adela peeked her head out.

"Yes po?" she asked sleepily, hindi pa nya masyadong natignan kung sino ang nasa pinto.

"Good morning, babe!"

"Babe?" she rubbed her eyes and opened the door wider.

Geoff grinned sa narinig nya. 

"Babe?  Tinatawag mo na ba akong 'babe'?" 

"Hindi, tinatanong kita kung bakit mo ko tinatawag na 'babe'?" inirapan nya si Geoff at tumalikod na, pero nung pagtalikod nya ay napangiti sya. 

Geoff opened the door at sumunod na kay Adela papasok sa loob ng kwarto.  She heard him chuckling behind her na napaikot tuloy sya at tinignan ang binata.  She placed her hands on her hips and frowned at him.  

"Ganyan pala ang outfit mong pangtulog...shorts at oversized t-shirt.  Pero kahit ganyan, ang sexy mo pa rin.  Ganda talaga ng legs mo, baby."

"Heh!" she went back to her bed and laid down again.  

"Anong ginagawa mo?"

"I'm going back to sleep.  Ang aga aga pa, no!" she pulled the covers over her and not a second later, she saw Geoff pull the covers away from her.  "Huy, ano ba?!"

"Halika na!  Ang taas na nang araw o.  Tara!"

"Saan?  Kung saan man yan, pumunta ka nang mag-isa."

"Ayaw mo?  Eh di tatabihan na lang kita dyan sa kama at matutulog katabi mo."

"In your dreams!"

"Ayaw mo?  Takot kang matukso?"

"No..." she closed her eyes and turned away from him, rolling over on the bed.  "Ayoko lang may maapakan na tao."

"Maapakan?" nagtatakang tanong ni Geoff.  "Sino?"

"Si Danica."

"Baby, wala na kami ni Danica.  Nakipagbreak ako sa kanya nung nakabalik k ana dito."

"You did what?" biglang nagising ang inaantok pa ring si Adela and turned back around to look at Geoff.

"It has always been you, Ada.  Alam mo yan.  Kahit may mga naging girlfriends ako, it was only to try to move on from you, pero it's always you.  It never worked out with them kasi it was always you," he sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.

"Geoff..."

"So kung nagmamatigas ka lang dahil sa maling akala na may maapakan ka, wala, baby.  Walang wala."

"How did she take it?" she asked him.

"Syempre, nagalit.  One year din naman ang tinagal namin, pero for that one year, lagi naman kaming hindi nagkakasama dahil sa trabaho.  Busy sya at busy ako.  Technicality lang na we lasted a year."

"I'm sorry," Adela said.

"Bakit?"

"Kasi nasaktan sya nang dahil sa akin."

"She'll get over it eventually; matatanggap din nya na hindi kami para sa isa't isa dahil matagal nang taken ang puso ko," he lifted her hand and kissed the back of it.  "Now, let's go," he changed the subject and began pulling her up.

"Saan nga?" nagpabigat si Adela nang inumpisahan na syang hatakin ni Geoff.

"Let's go exploring!  Let's take a ferry to Coron tapos mag overnight tayo doon.  Then we can rent a boat and we'll go on our own, how does that sound?"
