BEST-Friend-Zoned (Book 2)

Chapter Ten

Kinagabihan ding yun, panay ang text ko kay Ian. And when he got online, mas minabuti ko pang padalhan din siya ng mensahe mula doon. I asked him if he's good about talking right now and that maybe, we could Skype. Gladly, pumayag naman siya sa gusto ko.

Mabilis kong inayos ang camera ng laptop ko, and everything's set. Inaantay ko na lang siya and that's not until it takes forever.

"Ian!" Just as I saw his face on the screen, napatili na agad ako. How I miss this gay!

Napatakip siya sa tenga niya dahilan para mangiti ako. I mouthed him'sorry.' Naka-earphone rin kasi siya kaya mas kulob ang tunog. And since, I screamed, malamang talagang nabingi siya sa ginawa ko.

I waited for him to be okay. Nang makakabit na ang earphone niya sa tenga, agaran rin akong nagsalita. "Ang gwapo mo!" I whispered.

That doesn't sound sarcastic pero sa sitwasyon niya ngayon, malamang parang ganun na nga ang lumabas.

"Seriously, girl? I turn this off." mariin niyang pagbabanta.Hindi na rin mawari ang naging itsura niya.  Hindi sinasadyang napangiti ako kaya naman lalo siyang naasar.

Bago pa man sobrang mainis ang bading, nagsalita na rin ako. I laughed. "Joke lang yun, uy! Wait nga lang!" He turned his camera off but I know that he's still there.

Hinintay ko siyang bumalik and I never failed. Bagot na itsura ang humarap sa akin. "Sorry na! Na-miss lang talaga kita. That's what I saw on the screen so definitely that's how will I react."

Lalo namang tumaas ang kilay niya. 

Those well-sculptured eyebrows! Haay Ian! If you only knew how I find it very cute for a guy, rather than scary for a... lady?

"Don't worry, next time I'll do a Skype with you, I'll wear a massive amount of make-up, para naman hindi mo na ako sisihin."

I certainly missed this person. Wala pa ngang topic, ang haba na ng nagiging usapan namin. At dahil doon, mabilis na ring gumaganda ang mood ko, sometimes, making me forget all of those worries and inhibitions which are the exact reasons why I wanna talk to him. 

Ehh ang kaso poproblemahin ko na naman dahil hindi ko nga nasabi sa kanya. Well, I guess, that is one of the perks of having a gay friend...

"Why'd you want to do Skype?" pag-iiba nya na rin ng tanong.

At first, I told him that I just really missed him that's why I want to make a video call. I thought he'll able to find it very sweet pero lalo lang naman siyang naasar. 

Yeah, Angela, lagi na nga kayong magkausap sa phone! But still, video is different, right? Just as different, as seeing him personally, live talking and doing those manifestations in front of you.

Before he could even talk once more, and shut his computer down, sinabi ko na rin naman sa kanya ang pakay ko talaga. 

I told him that I want him here, like hopefully he could set up a vacation para naman makasama ko na ulet siya.

Aside, I told him more of what he's gonna do when he's here. 

Whenever, I'm asking him like different favors, I have to support it with ideas that can help him enlighten.  I felt exactly like a marketing agent, inviting him to take a peek at  my product and tell sort of things that can make him to stay longer and by the end, make himself try my product which evidently says, he wanna buy it and wants to keep it for use.
