Have you ever found a love so real and perfect but found that you can never be together? like there are some truth to the quote " Sometimes people are meant to fall in love with each other but not meant to be together" Well you guess it right...I had my somewhere down the road or I love you Goodbye "can relate songs".
I still remember her, Imean ..correction I have never forgotten her.
So this is where we started...
---x
It was an ordinary saturday morning, At 6am, I was stretching at one side of UP Diliman near the Oval, ready to get rid of some unwanted fats.
It has been raining for the last few days, people seems to be sharing the same sentiments with me. I was burried in Paper works, I can't go out and my trying hard to be healthy sucks..I cant run coz it's been raining. So for a couple of days stuck in the four corners of my unit. Yeah great! I was shocked I gained 8 pounds. Thank you 24hrs Convenience stores and Food deliveries. Need to sweat today!
So after a few stretching routines, I ran towards the Oval where other runners also starting to take their pace. I dont intend to sprint, I wanted to take it slow, I plan to go 5 -6 rounds today. Just relaxed paced. I put on my earphones played music. And dashed off together with other runners of varied sizes, style and " Goals" some are hardcore runners, some are just like me "trying to be fit" .
I got a call from my Best Friend Sally telling me she cant join me this morning. Oh well it doesn't surprise me.
It was my 4th round in the Oval the sun is now shining brightly but it wasn't that hot. I realized I was running with the same pace with a Woman besides me. She was wearing compresor pants and razor back tops. With dark sports shades. So I will Classify her as "Serious runner"
As we reached almost finishing our fourth round I began to feel a little exhausted. But the lady besides me seems to be unbothered and just continued with the same paced as we have started, not slowing down, not going fast. I took a glance again at her face, hmmn she's pretty , her cheeks are blushed already, her nose so pointed, chins well chiseled, Ok she's gorgeous and sweating Hot! Ok Jade knock it off...
So I ran trying hard to maintain the pace with the lady besides me. Oh gosh later I'm gonna pay the price of doing this. Maybe she noticed me also coz I catched her glance as we approached to our starting point, okay 5th round I dont think I can do this continously
need to break. I slowly stop hold my knees while I catched my breath and tried to relax my legs. I looked both my side I didn't saw the Woman. Oh she maybe went ahead...ofcourse why would she wait for you. She doesn't even know you. I fixed my hair into a pony tail then I noticed someone giving me a bottle of cold water. She was smiling at me. I was dumbstruck
"take it. You can't keep up if you are dehydrated. " her voice is so pleasant to my ears. " Thank you Miss....?"
" Althea...Althea De Castro" she extend her hands and gave me a hand shake, her hands are so soft. Did I just hold her hands longer than a handshake should be???
"Aherm...ready for Fifth ?"
She said smiling. "
"Y---yeah!"
Atlast a word came out of my mounth. I released her hands and thought Jade you are a moron. The person in front of you is a Woman. I smiled at her then started to run again.
"Hey! I told you to hydrate...drink..." She said it while we are running already, I saw her drinking her bottle her jaw slighly arked and I can see the fresh sweat running thru her neck. Wow I realized that a person can looked so appealing while sweating like that. I opened the bottle and drink, the water feels good when it passes my throath I didn't realized that my mouth has dried. Stupid! you've opened your mouth staring at that Woman that's why it dried. I looked again at the Woman beside me and she said something...I did not hear her...She slows down, stopped but continue to jog stationary, She removed my right ear phones her fingers touched my ears slightly that it tickles me.
She said
"I am Althea and you are?"
You are a Fighting Moron Jade. Why you have to be so stupid!
" Oh sorry, Its Jade...Jade Howell...sorry about the earphones that's why I cant here you..."
She just smiled to me and OMG she removed her shades now I can see her big almond eyes.
" Nice to meet you Jade..."
Then she put back her shades and signaled me to run again. Yes please wear it back before you burn me with your gaze. My goodness why she has to have so much appeal, I wonder how do i look, I remember I did not put on anything except for my lipbalm. I must look like a stupid white girl beside her.It was almost 8am when we stopped. She put up her shades to her hair.
"So your friend is not with you today?"
She was wiping sweat in her forehead and face using the back of her hands. And there I was again stunned at the sexiness of her movement. She doesn't have any makeup at all her skin naturally spotless and rossy. She smiled and removed my earphones again. She moves closer and said
" Hey dont you wanna talk to me?!" Okay I smelled her breath it was sweet and fresh. For heavens sake what are you doing to me?
"Oh my goodness Althea...I am sorry..."
She smiled.
" It's okay.. So I gotta go.. See you again...bye Jade."
" Yeah Bye...see you again"
Okay Jade stop acting like a stupid girl talking to her crush in 6th Grade.She asked about Sally so she have taken noticed of me already. Why have I not noticed her??
" Althea wait!"
I blurted out...oh fuck! what will I tell her...you are stupid Jade. But its too late, She stopped and looked back already. Ok great now You need to think fast Jade.
"Do you want to have breakfast?"She smiled.
In my head i asked.
Was that a Yes.? Holy Macaroni...---😎---
