"I thought you kissed me because you like me back, pero ngayon?" He frustatingly shook his head. "Hindi na ako sigurado," hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa bote ng ice tea bago humarap sa akin. "I need to know what you think about me, Aria. Because to be honest, I badly want to be with you."
I felt stupid sitting there and staying silent. Eto ka na naman sa pagiging pipi Aria. I can feel Caleb's gaze at me but I was just looking down on his shoes, totally lost about what I should say.
"I guess I got my answer," tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo at napatulala naman ako.
Answer? Hindi naman ako sumagot ah!
I wanted to argue with him because I didn't actually said anything but when I looked up, he was already walking away. Kaagad akong tumayo para habulin siya. I grabbed him by his wrist and made him face me.
"Wala naman akong sinabi ah! Anong sagot ang tinutukoy mo?!"
He stared coldly at me before he took my hand away from his wrist. My hand stayed mid-air.
"Hindi mo na kailangang sagutin." I was rooted in my place while he left me there, totally shocked because of his attitude towards me.
I am so dead.

The ride back home was one of the most troublesome car ride ever. My friends and Wade were acting nonchalant kahit na alam kong kanina pa ako gustong kausapin nina Danae at Nhor.
Nang makauwi sa bahay ay padabog na umakyat sa ikalawang palapag ng bahay si Caleb. I heard how loud he banged the door and I closed my eyes because of that. Sumunod si Wade sa pinsan niya.
Nhor, Danae, Althea and Mary were busy playing with the kids, probably distracting them from the noise Caleb created. Umakyat ako sa kwarto at nahiga sa kama. I was just staring into space when I heard a knock from the outside.
"I'd like to come in, Milady!" Bago pa ako makasagot ay binuksan na ni Wade ang pintuan at pumasok kaagad sa kwarto. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"What? Nandito ka ba para sermonan ako?" Mataray kong tanong.
"Sermon? Kailan naman kita sinermonan?! I just want to know what happened," he said in all honesty.
"Alam ko namang sinabi na sayo ni Caleb."
"Sa totoo lang, hindi. Ang sabi niya lang ay 'leave me alone, Wade' pagkatapos ay pinagsarhan ako ng pinto. That's why I came here to ask you."
Tinampal ko ang mukha atsaka problemadong tumingin sa kanya. "I am so stupid, Wade!"
"Okay lang, maganda ka pa rin naman."
