DESTINED HEARTS (Phoenix Series #2)

Chapter 33

KENZIE'S POV

4 months later...

Inayos ko ang mga gamit ko pagkarinig ko ng bell. Finally! Dismissal na. Kanina pa kasi ako nabo-bored sa History class namin.

"Kenz, party later?" Pag-aya sa akin ng kaklase kong lalaki. 

I faced and smiled at him "No thanks." Sagot ko sa kanya.

I can't party tonight. It's my birthday today at sigurado akong may handa sina Ella para sa akin. I want to have a night out, alam niyo naman na isa akong party animal. But Ella planned to have a party only for us, the circle of friends. I can’t say no to that compulsive bestfriend of mine.

Pagkarating ko sa parking lot, nakita ko ang sasakyan na susundo sa akin which is the Montero Sport. Kumaway sa akin ang lalaking nakasandal doon. He's gorgeous as fuck. Lalo na ngayon at pinagupit niya na ang hanggang balikat niyang buhok noon. Pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang bad boy aura niya.

"How's your class, birthday girl?" Hinalikan niya ako sa aking pisngi pagkalapit ko sa kanya. Parati niya ito ginagawa pag nagkikita kami, hindi ko naman siya mapipigilan dahil kahit pinagsabihan ko na siya na itigil niya iyon, ginagawa niya pa rin. I think the one thing that won’t change about him is him being a hard headed guy.

"Fine. History class is still boring. What about you? Nahihirapan ka pa din ba sa kursong kinuha mo?" Nag-aalala kong tanong sa kanya. This past few days I know he's depress because of his course especially he's in third year college. Doon ko nakita na hindi biro ang pagiging college student.

"No biggy. Kaya ko naman. Ako pa." Kumindat siya sa akin. Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya.

"I know you will, James." Sabi ko sa kanya. Inalalayan niya ako papasok sa loob ng passenger seat ng sasakyan niya.

It's been four months. At sa maliit na panahon na iyon ay marami na rin ang nagbago. Bumalik ako as Grade 12 student pero lumipat ako ng paaralan. I don't want my sister to be my classmate.

About my Dad, he explained to me how sorry he was. He was depress because of my mother's death. Sinisisi pa rin nito ang sarili niya dahil sa pagkamatay ni mom. Nung araw na yun dapat ihahatid ni mom yung naiwang lunch ni dad but an accident happened.  Nakikita niya si Mom sa akin dahil magkamukha kami. He loves our mother so much and I love them both kaya napatawad ko na siya. While Kelsie and I are still the same. She's still an epal sister. Tss.

Four months.... and I never heard anything from him. I think I did the right choice to leave him. He just played me.

Fuck him. Ayoko nang maalala pa ang tungkol sa lalaking iyon. It's all in the past and I loved him. Wala na akong nararamdaman para sa kanya.

Sa apat na buwan kong pagmumukmuk dahil kay Pierce, my friends never left me. Especially James. Then, last month, James seriously courted me. Hindi na siya nambabae pa at nagseryoso na siya. Wala naman akong magawa dahil sa ayaw o sa gusto ko daw liligawan niya ako.

He's making me happy. But I am not sure if I am falling for him. All I know is I enjoy his company. 4 months changed me and I am happy with it.

Tumingin ako sa lalaking nagmamaneho. Ang gwapo niya talaga. Para siyang hot Mexican man. I definitely have a crush on him.

"James?" Pagtawag ko sa kanya.

"Hmm?" Sagot niya pero nakatingin pa rin siya sa daan.

"I’m sorry for making you wait."

He smirked while still focusing on the road “I have been waiting for you for 6 years, and you finally gave me a chance to prove it to you that you’re the only girl who I laid my eyes on. Okay lang sa akin ang maghintay pero sana hindi ako mabigo sa huli." He answered me. I didn’t respond at him. I appreciate his patience but I am not sure if I can give him the answer he wanted to hear.
