Who Is Meant? AlyDen? BangLy?

UD 12. Jealousy

Den's

"Unless you're jealous."

"Yes I'm jealous! God, I am jealous of her!", I shouted earning looks from other people inside this coffeehouse...aside from Ella who's grinning like a Cheshire cat.

I am breathing heavily and my heart is racing.

I drank the coffee that Ella had bought me and tried to calm myself. This is what Ella really wanted me to do, confess to her, unfortunately...it happened publicly.

I admit it. Matagal na...matagal na akong nalilito. And hearing my teammates tease us, is actually not helping. It makes me scream inside.

I am fully aware na humahanga ako sa kaibigan ko. She's definitely above the rest in so many things. Matalino si Aly, at iyon ang pinaka hinahangaan ko sa kanya. Napakahusay niya rin bilang isang athlete at masayahing tao... 

But as time passes by, napapansin kong mas lalo kong naappreciate ang mga katangian niya. Pati ang ganda niya sa tuwing masisilayan ko 'yun muka niya pagmulat ng mata ko, sa tuwing dadampi ang kamay ko sa pisngi niya tuwing umaga para gisingin siya, at 'yun kabang nararamdaman ko kapag nangiti siya...

But I am still not certain if I am really indeed had fallen for my best friend. Until now, I am confuse.

"Did I just hear a confession?", Ella said, still grinning.

"You got what you want.", I retorted totally pissed.

"No. You just said 'you're jealous'...you aren't still admitting you are in love with her."

"I am still not sure...I'm...I'm still confuse..." I backed down, placing both of my hands on my face.

"Hey...", she moved closer to me and took my hands with her.

"That's totally fine, okay? You've got a lot of time to figure it out."

"Arghh, De Jesus! I hate you for doing this to me!"

"Uh-uh.." shaking her head, "I think you should blame Alyssa for being irresistible", then winked at me.

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Nakakahiya 'yun ginawa ko, tara na nga...", aya ko sa kanya pabalik ng school.

After hours, in class.

"you've been checking your phone and your watch like every quarter. ", she looked at me and I gave her a death glare.

She raised her hands like surrendering,  "Oh, I'm sorry...I should've said every minute."

"Funny, Ella."

"Are you waiting for a text?"

"I am just worried, Aly is sick, remember?  Baka kasi nagtetext siya, malay mo magpabili or magtext na gusto niya kumain or - ",

"Oh, don't worry...Bang is there. I'm sure she's taking care of Aly...you saw naman kanina di ba?"

"Don't start, De Jesus."

"Huh? I am just saying."

I sighed and look at my phone again.

Andun pa nga kaya 'yun si Bang? Hayyy...Alalang alala na ko kay Aly e, kaso ayoko naman bumalik tapos makikita ko lang siya dun, ma o-OP na naman ako. But I really wanted to be there!

"Ayy, Besh, naiwan ko pala 'yun assignment ko for next subject natin sa dorm, babalik muna akong dorm ha..."

"Tara!", I stood up instantly and she eyed me suspiciously.
