Over Me (COMPLETED)

Chapter 56

"May number po ba kayo ni Sir? Mas maganda po kung tawagan ninyo po at sabihin na nandito kayo." said the woman with tight bun in the reception area. "Sorry po, ah. Iyon po kasi instruction sa amin. Ah! Kilala ninyo po ba 'ung girlfriend ni Sir? Ayun po siya, oh."

The woman gestured another woman sitting alone on the blue sofa behind me. Lumakas bigla ang kabig ng puso ko. No way...

"Much better po kausapin ninyo po kung paano po pababain ang hanap ninyo."

Quickly pulling away my gift on top of the counter, I thank her before dashing towards Weslee's girlfriend. Nandito ako para bisitahin siya. Finally. I think it's our first time meeting personal again. Bukod sa text at greetings sa Facebook, ngayon na lang uli.

I don't know. Perhaps I was driven by what's coming this Wednesday night. Pagkauwi ko noong araw rin na 'yun, alam ko kaagad sa sarili na kung magkakausap uli kaming dalawa at anuman ang mangyari, dapat hindi lang si Hayme ang puntahan ko.

Tutal... sariling desisyon ko naman na huwag makita ang best friend ko. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung... tama lang ba ang nagawa ko o hindi. But what's important is that there's not a day I didn't think of what he might be doing while we're both away.

Ngayong hapon, doon ako nagdesisyon na bisitahin siya. However I was welcomed by his instructions to everyone na hindi siya makakausap until siya mismo ang magsabi na umakyat at bumaba. Plus! Why his girlfriend is not an exception? Mukha siyang lonely ngayon sa living area ng lobby!

I wish this wild pounding in my chest is caused by the fact it's our first time meeting each other and not because I find her really beautiful and I'm having thoughts of what Hayme thought before.

"Hi." I began. "Ikaw pala girlfriend ni Weslee?"

I've got no idea why she snarls when she heard someone talking in front of her. Baka... may mga gustong kumausap sa kaniya at nairita siya? No idea. "I'm Eogh—"

Automatically, she raised her head around and the first thing I noticed is her cat-like eyes and even her amber eye color! God, tell me those are just contacts but if it's real, woah! Never seen that kind of eyes before!

"Oh my God!" bigla itong napatayo. A group of men caught her attention. "Eoghan?! Yes, I know! I know, of course! Bakit hindi ko malalaman!?"

Buti nalihis ko 'yung painting dahil kung hindi, it's not just my body she'd crash. Her face now is buoyant and it gave me fact that it's not just me who's dying to meet the other one.

"Wow! Sa tagal natin hindi nagkakilala, I really thought you're just a computer robot friend of Weston!" she shrieks. "Oh, God... How have you been? Upo ka! I texted him already, pababa na raw!"

"Oh," I said, chuckling before taking the seat beside her. She's still rhapsodizing about our meeting and sharing things she thinks about me noong hindi pa kami nagkikita.

"You know, Weston sucks at describing people! Kung wala ka lang picture sa phone niya, I will think that you're really a soft cat!"

"Cat?" natawa ako.

"That's what he explained to me! But look! You've got that boyish look that I like in a man!" she chortles fervently. "Don't get me wrong ha pero oh my..."

Kulang na lang pisil-pisilin niya ako at tingin kung may machine ba sa ilalim ng balat ko.

"Anyway, it's so good to finally see you! Oh, oo nga... Nakakagulat... You came here! What for? I've heard what happened, yes. I'm sorry."

I feel great now even if they remind me about it all the time. "It's all in the past."

Seems like she found it hard to reply to what my answer was. "W-what are you doing here, anyway? May appointment kayong dalawa?"
