Running with Scissors

Seventeen

"Maine? Maine!" He shook her a little.

"Alden naman eeeeehhhh!" Then she sobbed loudly. She's bawling as if she's badly hurt, Alden is starting to panic!

"Maine!!! Jusko, what's wrong??? Saan masakit??? Maine!!! Gising ka ba?"

She suddenly opened her eyes dazedly, tears streamibg down her face, still sobbing, chest heaving as she sobs and turned to look at him accusingly, removing his hands from her, not wanting him to touch her. Hala!

"Love, what's wrong?"

"Wag mo akong hawakan!" She said weakly, in between sobs.

"Ha??? Ano bang problema? Tulog ka ba? Galit ka sa kin? Love, ano?"

"May hinahalikan kaaaaa!!! Huhuhu tapos sa harap ko pa, pinapakita nyo pa sa kin!!! Huhuhu!!!" She started wailing.

"Anoooo??"

"Tapos..huhuhu tapos tinawag mo pa sya ng BABE!!! Babe talaga, Alden???!!! Ako ang babe mo!!! Sabi mo ako lang babe mo eeeeh! Huhuhu!!!"

"Ikaw lang babe ko, I swear!!" Finally realizing she had a bad dream, grabe naman ang iyak nito?

"Pero nag kiss kayo, huhuhu! Ang sakit sakit naman eeeehhhh!!!"

"Hala, baby, tahan na, panaginip lang yon. Di totoo yon kasi ikaw lang ikikiss ko forever, at ikaw
lang ang babe ko!"

"Huhuhu, ayoko na!! Ang sakit, Alden, alam mo ba??? Wag kang tumawaaaa! Huhuhu!" He's so torn because she seriously looks hurt and shaken. Halo halo ang luha, pawis at sipon! At ayaw pang tumigil sa kakaiyak! Jusko ang daming hikbi, kawawa naman!

"Baby, lika ka na dito, look at me." With both his hands on the side of her face he raised her head so she can look at him directly.

"Maine, my love, panaginip lang yon ok? Hinding hindi mangyayari yon kasi ikaw lang ang mahal ko at mamahalin ko forever! Wala nang iba. Stop crying na, babe! Ayan na, barado na ilong mo oh!"

"Pero kasi parang totoo eh. Enjoy na enjoy ka pa sa kiss!!! Huhuhu!"

"Ay juskupo! Umpisa na naman! Baby, dream nga lang eh. Di yon totoo!"

"Promise??? Di totoo yon ah! Naku ka, Alden Richards! Puputulin ko yan, kala mo!!! "

"Uy naku! Grabe putol agad? Baka naman pwedeng pingutin mo lang muna ?"

"PUPUTULIN KO YAN AT GAGAWIN KONG RELLENO!!! Subukan mo ako!"

"Hala ka! Nakakatakot ka na, love! Nanlilisik mga mata mo oh!"

"Alden wag mo talaga akong subukan!"

"Joke lang yon, love! Nagseselos ka sa panaginip pa! Sa totoong buhay di ka naman ganyan! Wait lang."

"Oh san ka pupunta?" Came her sweet, ultra clingy voice, on the verge of crying again.

"Sandali lang, love, ikukuha lang kita ng water."

He quickly ran down the stairs to get her cold water. Wawa naman andaming luha, baka ma dehydrate!

"Here, ubusin mo ha? Madami daming luha yon." He's helping her drink from the glass while fixing her hair away from her face.

"Ano, love, you feel a lot better na?" He pulled her so he could securely wrap his arms around her. Rubbing her back with one hand. Then kissed her forehead and nose. He honestly felt bad for her, grabe kasi yung iyak nya.

"Babe, please forget about it, panaginip lang yon. Hinding hindi mangyayari yon!"

"Di ko yata kayang may hahalikan ka ibang girl kahit aktingan lang." she hugged him tight, kissing his neck.

"Hahaha kanina lang career ko pinoproblema mo eh."

"Full-time daddy ka na lang, babe! Wag ka na artista, please!"

"Hosts na lang tayo, ok na? Wag mo nang isipin yon, ha?"

She took a shaky breath, grabe ang intense ng emotions nya! Sobrang sakit kasi, she wanted to hurt someone dahil sa sobrang sakit naramdaman nya.

"What will make you forget about it quickly?"

"Babe-time!" She whispered near his ear, biting his lobe.
