My Wicked Clumsy Girl

Nicolie

I feel the excitement nang makababa ako nang sasakyan ko it took me longer than I expected bago nakarating sa usapan namin ni Khea.

Yes I ditch my own party ciempre sa help na rin ni kambal anyway halos patapos na rin naman yun nung umalis ako.

pagpasok ko sa di naman masyadong sikat na resort madaming floating candles sa pool very romantic ang ambiance nangingiti ako but it's a little bit corny I must say.

then there she was wearing a simple yet sexy dress
as she walks towards me...

"Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day Give me something, oh, but you say nothing What is happening to me?" sabay nya sa erotic version ng kanta

can't help but feel the lust for her hinapit ko sya palapit sa akin "di ba dapat happy birthday ang kanta mo?"

she raise her eyebrow bago pabirong tumingin sa suot na relo "not your birthday anymore" then she winked "I love you Nico" bago lumayo sya ng bahagya sa akin before she unwarp her dress

"love you seems out of space?" nag-aalalang tanong ko sa kanya she seems very uneasy mula nung pumunta kami dito sa party hanggang sa nakita kong kausap sya nang dad nya.

"maybe nahihiya lang ako" tipid na sagot nya

may sasabihin sana ako when Rhubarb join us sa table at pinakilala ang sarili nya kay Manila

"Manila so far how do you find Nico?" pabirong tanong nya na bahagyang animated pa ang itsura,pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata bago pasimpleng tinapik sa braso

"so far she is nice" tila wala sa sariling sagot ni Manila bago tipid na ngumiti halatang she is in deep thinking

"last year she ditch her own party sana wag mo naman gawin yun ulit kambal para di ako maipit sa mga interogation nila mama at grandma" matabil na dagdag ni Rhu

I rolled my eyes

"she ditch her party last year?" tanong ni Ila then she look at me na parang nanghihingi ng sagot

"yup just to be with khea" singit ng bagong dating na si Pyrus na parang que sa isang game show yung entrada nya

"oh" tipid na sagot ni Manila

"Pyrus pano mo naman nalaman yan eh wala ka na dito nung umalis ako?" inis inirapan ko sya,I know she really wants me get pissed lalo na I invited Kaylee sa party na ito,I just I don't know kung dumating sya dahil hindi ko naman nakikilala lahat ng bisita.

"bakit mali ba ako?" inis na sagot nya bago uminom
ng white wine nasa baso nya "didn't you have another celebration with her? you want me to tell Manila the details?" asar nya pa,habang tila natutuwa si Rhu sa asaran namin ni Pyrus I kept looking at Manila's reaction and it's hard to tell kung affected sya o hindi.

"pulis ka na ba ngayon? o reporter ang dada mo kasi!"

"well you started it"mayabang na humalukipkip sya "this means war cousin"

"bring it on!" fearless na sagot ko

nagulat ako nang biglang tumayo si Manila "I need air" at nag-lakad palayo sa table namin

naniningkit ang mga mata ko kay Pyrus kung pwede lang suntukin ko sya ginawa ko na,padabog akong tumayo at sinundan si Manila.My sight never leaves her, hanggang makarating sya parking lot at naupo sa isa sa mga bench dun.

tahimik akong tumabi sa kanya hindi ko alam kung anung nangyayari sa kanya was she upset because of what my cousin and brother words o my mas-malalim pa na dahilan.

"Love..." panimula ko but I heard how deeply she sigh kaya pinili ko na lang muna tumahimik sa tabi nya

"Nico alam mo ba na I hated you when you we're little?" sabi nya habang nakatingin sa langit "all the unfortunate event sa life ko ay dahil sayo?"

clueless na nakatingin ako sa kanya "what do you mean?"

she smiled for the first time tonight hindi na yung ngiting kinakabahan "we go to the same school when you still a rug rats and most of my accident is because of you pero ciempre masyado ka pa bata para maalala"

"thank God you smile already" tugon ko hinaplos ko ang mukha nya "everytime I look at you love, you remind of my mommy,not that you look the same but you're both very sensible and full of reservations"

"but all my reservations flew when I met you Nico" she look at me with full of adoration "I never let anyone touch me the way you do,I never let anyone kiss me the way you do nor I never let anyone keep up all night the way you do"

hindi ko alam kung panung nakangiti na rin ako "Manila you're not the first girl I touch nor I kiss, you may not be the first girl I keep up all night but you are the only—-"

"MANILA!!!" putol nang kung sino sa moment namin gusto ko mag-wala magalit sa kung sino man ang lalaking tumawag sa kanya "oh hi Nico" bati ni kuya Arin sa akin ng makita nya rin ako

"hinahanap kita sa loob andito ka lang pala" masayang sabi nya kay Manila "I didn't know na friends kayo" tukoy nya sa akin

"recently lang" tipid na sagot ni Manila sabay ngiti

"you both knew each other?" nag-tatakang tanong ko

"Yup batchmate kami since elementary" balewalang tugon ni kuya Arin "Manila who brought you here? is it ok of I take you home mamaya?"

"no need kuya" ako na sumagot para kay Manila "right Love?" sadyang diniinan ko yung pagkakabigkas ko ng Love

halata ang pag bagsak ng mukha ni Kuya Arin when he realize that Ila and I are not just friends then what are you? "alright then see you around Ila" paalam nya "Nics pasok na muna ako sa loob"

ilang minutong katahimikan din ang lumipas bago sya nagsalita "Nico do you want to take me somewhere?"

I flash my loop sided smile "thought you won't ask"
