Can you move on from your first love?
Will Julie and Elmo finally close an unfinished book of their love story?
Or will they give their first love another chance?
This is an ongoing story that I have due to the quarantine. I will try to update every...
I woke up extra early today because I wanted to drive Julie to her work. To be honest? Gusto ko lang talaga siyang makita, alam kong busy ang araw niya today because may class pa siya later so I also wanna make sure na makapagbreakfast siya ng maayos, I was planning on cooking for her para when she wakes up it's gonna be a surprise. I know where she puts her spare key kaya there's no problem on how to get in. I think I still have about 2 hours or so? Bago niya kailangan pumasok sa trabaho so I went out of the house and walked to her door but something wasn't right. I saw a black Montero parked in her front yard which is odd kasi sabi niya wala siyang sasakyan and Tito's car is not like that. I was about to knock when Julie opened the door. I gave her a big smile to greet goodmorning pero hindi na ako nakapagsalita when I saw a guy standing behind her.. Julie was smiling at me but I was already looking passed her, she looked behind her and her smile faded "Hatid mo ko?" She finally asked me. Tumingin lang ako sa kanya with confusion waiting for her to repeat what she said "Let's go?" She nudged and held my hand and pulled me to my car while I was still looking at the man inside her house She stopped on her steps and looked at the guy and said "Lock the door when you leave, and leave my spare key please, you no longer need that" I opened the car door for her and put her seat belt in place not uttering a single word When I got inside the car, I kept quiet and started driving, I know she's looking at me, trying to find the right timing to speak "Moe..." "Hm?" I briefly answered "It's not what you think" "Wala naman akong sinasabi ha?" "Yun na nga eh, hindi ka nagsasalita, you're the type of person who never run out of words to say" "Wala naman kasi akong dapat sabihin" "Nagseselos ka ba?" I froze at her statement and halted my car to a stop and looked at her "Nagseselos ako?" "Oo, namumula yung tenga mo so alam kong galit ka" "Hindi naman ah" I said as I rubbed my ears and felt that it is indeed heating up, iniwas ko yung tingin ko sa kanya and spoke again "Nagulat lang ako, akala ko kasi break na kayo" "Moe, I'm not that type of girl, hindi siya nagsleep over sa bahay, pagbaba ko kanina nasa sala na siya, I was asking him to leave pero ayaw niya so ako na lang sana yung aalis, kaso pag bukas ko ng pinto nandun ka na" I looked at her and saw how sad her eyes are "Hey, never kong inisip yun" "Yung itsura mo kasi, hindi ko naman controlled how you'll interpret the situation kanina" "Hindi ko lang din kasi gets bakit may susi yung lalaking yun sa bahay mo" "Binigay yun ni daddy sa kanya, hindi ko pa nababawi kasi hindi pa naman kami nagkikita" she looked away looking embarassed, I took her hand and squeezed them which surprised her "I will never think anything less of you okay? I'm sorry I made you feel that way. Hindi ko rin kasi alam what I was feeling so I'd rather shut up than say words I'll later regret" She's finally smiling at me "Thank you for saving me kanina" "May kapalit yun" I told her and she raised her eyebrows at me "Ano na namang kalokohan nasa isip mo?" "Hmmm..." "Ano nga Magalona?" "Ako na official driver mo" "Ha?" "Hatid sundo kita, office and school and other lakads" "Wala ka ba talagang sariling buhay? She said laughing at me "Sige na kahit this week lang?" "Fine" she surrendered "Okay good! Tara?" I asked her as I went down and opened the door for her "Ha? Bakit?" "Breakfast muna tayo? Pagluluto sana kita kaso may bisita ka kanina" She smiled at me and followed me to the restaurant We were having a quiet breakfast as she tries to read cases on her phone for her class later. I took a glimpse of her and saw how beautiful she is, I was about to take a picture of her when she looked at me and gave me a cute irritated smile "Ay nako Moe, ayan ka na naman" "What? Cute mo I can't help it" "Akala mo ikaw lang ha" I was surprised as she took out her own cam and tried to take a picture of me. We were laughing as I tried to take the camera away from her until I finally saw the flash come out "Ano okay na? May picture na kong matitigan mo buong araw? I sheepishly asked her "Ang cuute mo!" She said holding it while laughing I saw her take out a pen and started writing on her film, I looked for the marker in my pocket and did the same. While I was so focused writing on it Julie spoke "Wala ka talagang balak magtrabaho?" Then I remembered na hindi nga niya pala alam kung ano ang ginagawa ko "Meron, next week start" "Ah talaga? Saan?" "Secret" "Siraulo" I looked up on her and smiled "Secret Agent kasi ako kaya bawal sabihin" I was already looking back at what I was writing when she spoke again "So you came back for work?" "No, I came back for you" I quietly said while still not looking at her I didn't hear another word from her mouth so I looked up and saw her staring at me so I smiled at her "Do you wanna go? You're gonna be late for work" "Okay lang sasabihin ko sa Daddy mo kasalanan mo" she jokingly said "Kung ganun pala I should just ask my dad to give you this day off?" I joked "Uy wag! Nakakahiya kay Tito" "Okay, I'll just stay in the office with you" then I winked at her as she gathered her stuff getting ready to leave "Maiinip ka lang, go somewhere else na lang and have fun" "Ayaw, ikaw gusto ko" "Para kang bata diyan" She said smiling "Cute ko no?" "Kulit mo po"? "Pero cute?" "Kulit" "Pero gwapo?" "Pwede na?" "So mas gwapo yung bisita mo kanina?" I said lowering my voice and losing my excitement She looked at my eyes and smiled "Don't you ever compare yourself to him, you don't deserve it. Walang wala siya sa level ng pagiging tao mo" Napangiti ako at kinilig about what she said. Pagdating namin sa office we saw the same guy sitting at her cubicle "Attorney Alves, can I help you?" "We need to talk" He said as he pulled Julie's hand, and takes her to a corner. I followed them and immediately grabbed Julie kasi parang nasasaktan siya "Bro, please let her go, nasasaktan siya" "Pare wag kang makialam, usapan namin ng girlfriend ko to" "Ang pagkakatanda ko break na kayo" "Walang break hangga't hindi ko sinasabi" He then pulled Julie's hand harder so I pushed him and grabbed Julie and turned around. He pulled me on my shoulder then gave me a hard punch on the face "Ben stop!" I heard Julie say as she got between us and I fell down the ground "Benjamin!" I heard a familiar voice call out "Sir nangingialam kasi sa personal na problema tong ammature na to eh, ano ka ba dito? A fucking intern?" "This is a work place! There's no place for your personal grudges and that's my son you just punched!" This guy looked at me surprised and Julie kneeled down trying to wipe blood dripping from my lips "Hey, get up, white yung dress mo baka madumihan ka" "Shhh, wag kang magulo, Moe dumudugo yung bibig mo" "Okay lang yan, ikaw okay ka ba?" I asked as I checked her wrist and saw some bruising "I'm fine" "Fine? You have a bruise Jules" she looked at her wrist and just smiled at me "That's okay, I'm okay" My dad went near us and kneeled down as he checked my face "Get some ice on that face, Miss San Joses, take the day off, get my son's face cleaned up in the clinic" "Yes sir" Julie briefly answered as my Dad stood up Julie stood up to and then helped me get on my feet, I saw her knee was red and dusty from kneeling on the floor so I kneeled and brushed it off. When I stood up she smiled at me "Tara sa clinic?" I nodded and walked with her, as we were walking I grabbed the film from my back pocket and gave it to her "Maybe it's a good time to give you this?" "Hm?" She asked as she took the picture from my hand "Day 3" I briefly said and she smiled and read the note

"Thank you" she briefly answered Since Dad told her to take a break today, I took her to a quiet coffee shop so she could study for her class later and I could start reading stuff for my work next week. I can feel her eyes on me but I tried acting like hindi ko alam so she won't feel awkward "Moe?" "Hm?" I looked at her and she pushed a picture on the table closer to me "Day 2"

I smiled wide and moved to a sit next to her, I placed my arms around her shoulders and saw her giving me a suplada look, I moved closer and whispered in her ear "I'm Superman and you're my Kryptonite"
