Twisted and Turned. { NashLene }

TAT. [ 11 ]

He cleared his throat and looked uneasy again. "Uh..." he looked at me while organizing his thoughts.

"You and..." he trailed off, "uhm, you..." his eyes were now on the floor, avoiding my gaze.

I crossed my arms on my chest, waiting for him to continue. Mukhang seryoso pa naman ito. This might be why he was so bothered. But seconds passed yet he was still lost for words. His lustruos eyes were dazed.

"Shar!" a familiar voice called.

Sinilip namin pareho kung sino ito at napangiti ako nang mapagtantong siya ito. His arms were automatically draped around my shoulders. I looked up to him, he is his usual self -  tall and warm like a protective wall.

"Did you receive the morning graces?" he asked with a smug smile.

Pinalo ko ito nang mahina upang ipaalam na hindi kami nag-iisa. That matter should be just between us two. He mouthed what kung kaya't pinandilatan ko ito at pasimple nginuso si Nash. Binabawi ko na ang sinabi ko kanina, ilang na ilang na uli ako!

"Oh, I'm sorry." he turned to him, "Good morning bro."

Nash waved his hands, "Nah, it's cool. So I'll see you guys later." he eyed Donny's arms on me, "It looks like you need some alone time." he meekly smiled before turning his back.

On the back of my head, I was hoping for something impossible but I chose to disregard it. I'm doing a lot better now, I can't go back to being stupid again.

Nang kami ay mapag-isa ay pinaulanan ko ng palo ang higante kong kasama. Ke lalaking tao, napakataklesa!

"Kainis ka talaga!" I said after I stopped hitting him.

"I already said sorry. Hindi pa ba yun sapat?" he said in defense.

I narrowed my eyes on him, "You didn't do that on purpose, did you?"

Inakbayan niya ako ulit at nagkibit balikat, "Maybe."

"You're such a meanie Donny!"

Why would he make Nash jealous when the latter's so madly in love with Alexa? Parang ano rin tong si Donny minsan.

"I'm not." nag-umpisa na kaming maglakad, "So how's your first day acting with Nash?"

"Hmmm..." I pretended to think. Ako naman ngayon ang manunukso.

His brows furrowed in annoyance, "Don't tell me kinilig ka?"

I coyly smiled and raised my shoulders, "Maybe."

He made a face, "So you think I'm triggered?"

"Did it work?"

He smirked, "Maybe."

If you're wondering what our status is, I'm sorry but I don't have the answer to that too. We've sorted things out after the party. I chose to decline his offer and in exchange, he apologized for being disrespectful. We became closer after that day and we grow closer each day. Dahil dito, hindi ko na rin alam kung ano kami o kung may kami nga ba. What I know is that we have something special. We do what friends and best friends do and we sometimes do what couples do. I think it's safe to say we're walking the thin line between friends and lovers. We're almost there but not quite close. And I'm very happy and contented of what we become.
