♛ The Bitchy Gangster Queen 24 ♚

SCARLETT

"No, I don't like you because I already love you."

Swear to God, my heart just exploded with too much emotion when I heard him say those words.

I feel like everything became slow at my sight and only him where I focused on. I also like became deaf for moment because everyone was still screaming but I can't hear them.

I can hear my heart pounding hard and loud.

Did... did I fucking heard him right?

Is this a dream? Or a prank?

Did he... did he just confessed that he... he...

L- Loves me? For real?

Pero...

Naramdaman ko na ang unti-unting pagbalik ng lahat sa dati. Normal at naririnig ko na ulit ang mga hiyawan ng mga studyante sa loob ng cafeteria.

We were just staring at each other like we are the only one who's inside this cafeteria, not minding the noises and the people around.

He has these cold and dark eyes but did everyone can see how beautiful they are? It was cold but I can see more than just that.

My god, nakakalunod ang mga tingin niya.

"Scarlett Blue Fox." He called. "Why do you have to make me feel so crazy about you?"

"Hmm...?" I was speechless. You make me feel crazy too.

"Don't you know the first time I saw when you fell from that tree, I thought I saw a goddess?" he asked. "You already took my breath away from that moment, and when you did smile on me, I knew... I knew I was already in trouble."

I gulped. I even hold my breath. My stomach is acting weird again. And my face is heating up. Why is he telling me these now? I am not ready! Hindi ko alam na may ganitong side siya kahit na madalas na kami magkasama simula noong maibalik niya ako sa katinuan.

"I feel incomplete without seeing you for a day. I don't know why, but seeing and even just standing beside you is already enough to made my day. I never felt this way before. You make me so happy, kahit na lagi mo kong sinusungitan, but I didn't mind because that was one of the reason why I fell. Call me crazy but everything about you and even with the simple things you do, are making my heart beats so fast." He confessed without breaking our eye contact. "Since you asked, I don't want to keep it anymore. Believe me, I don't wanna lose you."

That made me more speechless. I am melting with his stare and his words are making me crazy too.

"I hate your fanboys." He said out of nowhere. Kumunot naman ang noo ko. "Lagi ko silang tinitignan ng masama kapag lalapit sila sayo kaya bigla silang tumatakbo paalis." Pag-aamin niya ulit.

Natulala naman ako pero kalaunan ay natawa ng bahagya. Ah, kaya pala. Siya lang pala ang dahilan kung ba't takot at wala ng lumalapit na lalaki sa akin.

"I hate them 'cuz I am already yours so... can I ask you to be mine?" he asked.

Oh, my God.

Akala ko wala ng ibibilis pa ang tibok ng puso ko ngunit mali ako. Mamatay na yata ako sa mga oras na 'to. Baka atakihin na ko bigla sa puso.

Totoo ba talaga? Mahal niya talaga ko? Hindi ako makapaniwala.

Pero...

Handa na ba uli akong magmahal?

Tinitigan ko rin ang mga mata niyang ni isang segundo ay hindi naalis sa mga mata ko. Nag hihintay sa aking isasagot.

Natatakot ako.

Nagawi ang tingin ko sa likod ni Chase kung saan nandoon si James katabi ng best friend ko. Nginitian ako ng malapad ni Liza at tumango-tango tila nabasa ang iniisip ko.

Alright.

"Chase Walter," banggit ko sa pangalan niya nang maibalik ang tingin sa mga mata niya. Nakita ko ang kaba sa mukha niya pero nanatiling kalmado.

Wala namang masama kung susubukan ko ulit diba?

Ayoko ng lokohin pa ang sarili ko. Hindi na ko magpapanggap pa. Hindi ko na iiwasan pa.

Hindi ko alam kung kailan pa nag simula ngunit alam ko na... alam ko rin... na mahal ko siya.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago lakas loob na sinabing, "kinikilig ako." Seryosong sabi ko.

Natigilan pa muna siya saglit ngunit napangisi rin agad at bahagyang natawa. Naiiling siyang napakagat sa ibabang labi niya bago itinaas ang kamay kong hawak niya at nakangiting hinalikan ang likod nito.

Oh, my god, my heart.

"King..." I called again. This time, he doesn't look nervous anymore. I nod my head. "The feeling is mutual. I don't know when, but I'm not hiding it anymore."

Ngumiti ako at lumapit lalo sa kanya upang ibulong, "I love you too."

Lumayo na ako para tignan ang reaksyon niya. Nakatulala ito at parang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

"You... y- you..."

I smiled and nodded. "I'm yours for now on."

Napanga-nga naman siya. Hindi nag tagal, napatayo ang loko at nakasigaw "yes!" natawa pa ko dahil para siyang nanalo sa lotto.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ak nang bigla niya akong hilahin patayo at walang sabi-sabing inilapat ang mga labi sa'kin. In front of many people for goodness sake!

Nag hiyawan ang mga nasa paligid at nag palakpakan pa ang iba, nangunguna pa ang mga kaibigan namin na nakatayo narin habang binabati kami. May mga natutuwa, naiingit, nagagalit at syempre may sawi, umiiyak.

Lol, who cares? This kiss is a slap on their faces that we will never be theirs. This man right here, I am his, and he is mine. Period.

I closed my eyes and smiled as I return his kisses. I felt him smiling too.

Ah, fuck, I am so happy what the hell?

I hope I made the right decision. I just hope, that history will not repeat itself.

I will not let you ruin me again, Black.
