Bitter Sweet

CHAPTER 9

Elizabeth

"You know what? He kinda seems familiar" George having a thought of Tope's presence earlier.

"Yeah, he's the one who spilled milktea all over me when we were at the festive mall" Fritzie annoyingly replied,

Tope went to the supermarket to buy drinks and ingredients for dinner.

"Oh right! I didn't know him yet pa that time, but he's a really good guy. And he's really smart you know" Nicole defended,

Fritzie rolled her eyes,

"What time is it?" Nicole asked,

"Son las cuatro de la tarde." George answered while focusing on her phone

"Can i sleep?" I asked, I'm getting a bit sleepy and I wanted to rest just for a while.

"Sure Beth, you can sleep at my room." I fixed my things and put them on my bag.

Nicole and I went upstairs and when we entered her room I immediately threw myself on her bed.

A little while later,

"What the fuck Migs!" I heard George's voice,

Pagbaba ko, may mga boses akong narinig na nagtatawanan at aasaran.

"Ano ba yan! Hindi ka kasi marunong sumayaw!" Miguel replied

Madilim na sa labas, I looked at my phone, it was 7 pm already, might have dozed off long.

"Good evening Princess" Nicole greeted me,

She was sitting on the sofa with Fritzie, while Miguel and George is busy with their tiktok.

I went to sit next to them,

"Drew is outside, he got a phone call" Fritzie said as if she already knows what's on my mind.

I just nodded and looked at my phone,

A message from mom: "Where are you?"

"I'm at Nicole's, mom." I replied,

"Hey" I was taken a back when I heard his voice. He sat beside me,

"How are you?" He asked,

I can feel my heart beating so fast cause he was near. I'm scared that he might hear my heart beating loudly,

"I'm good, I didn't know na same subdivision lang pala kayo ni Nicole." I said casually but deep inside yung kaba ko grabe na.

"Honesty I didn't know that you guys would invite me" he said.

I faced him, and saw a smile slowly forming on his lips, his eyes were mesmerizing. He looked so perfect pag malapitan.

"Beth yung laway mo" I was startled by Fritzie's comment.

It went straight to an awkward situation I just looked down cause I could feel my cheeks turning red.

I heard Drew chuckled,

"Hey that's fine." He placed his hand on top of mine, slowly grasping my hand tightly,

I stared at him in shock, he did hold my hand the last time that we were together, but in front of my friends?

"Tae Migs! I don't know how to do it!" Reklamo ni George

Miguel is helping George on some steppings that she finds difficult, I mean she's a dancer but I have no idea why she's having a hard time learning the dance.

"Ang dali dali niyan tas di ka marunong." Migs hissed at George.

"Alright, last na" George assured him
