Alyssa Dan Valdez
Nakangiti lang akong nakikinig sa usapan nila Dennise at Fille. We were at Kfc, kakatapos lang ng volleyball namin and I was so happy that Dennise joined the crowd to cheer for us. The malls in Toronto decided to create a volleyball league. And their great way to do that was to ask the catholic school board to represent their malls. One of the schools that were chosen is our school.
"That was amazing people! The other schools' players were tall and we were like meh..." Amy said making us laugh.
"What happened anyways?"-Bang
"We are the champions! Yaaaa! And thats what happened!" Michelle exclaimed showing us her medal.
Yes, we were the champions. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari. Pag pasok pa lang namin ng court a week ago gusto na naming mag back out. I mean, the other teams players' were tall. Sobrang tangkad nila, members nga namin may mga maliliit na players eh. They have other Filipinas in their team pero matatangkad pa rin sila.
Eh? Sabi ko that day, if we were not going to make it in our first game, then we'll quit. But what happened was, we won twice. That was a sign for us to continue and finish it right? We were right! Nam mo! Sa huli kami pa pala champion. And si Dennise... Speaking.
First day, I asked her if gusto niya manood, sabi niya ayaw niya. She's not into Sports kaya hindi ko siya pinilit. Second day, pinilit ko ulit, ayaw pa rin. Sabi niya huwag ko daw siyang pinipilit dahil baka mahampas niya ako pag nabwisit siya. Dahil dun sa bahay ako umuwi for two days. Bahala siya sa buhay niya, right? Pero namiss ko din siya.
Third day. Ayun! Wala kaming imikan. Nag away kami. Dahil sa volleyball. Nabwisit ko ata siya. Pero after the game nung umuwi naman ako, okay na kami. Nanonood pala siya sa tv. Tinatamad daw siyang lumabas, but what I know was that, her dad asked her to finish her University applications. Kaya ngayon free na siya.
"Thank you." Nakangisi kong sabi at hinalikan siya sa pisngi. Natahimik siya sa pag sasalita habang nakatingin kay Fille.
"Nag lalambing na naman si Alyssa! Kaumay na ah!"-Fille
"Inggit ka lang!" I stuck my tongue out and put couple of fries in my mouth.
"So ganun nga! Pumunta siya ng condo and asked me to sign the contract..." She paused when I put a fries in her mouth. "I even asked her if pwedeng one of my friends eh kasama din. So since... Babe anu ba?" She pinched my arm making me laugh.
"Ayan! Alyssa kase!" Jia annoyingly glared at me.
"Hahaha. Sorry." Tumatawa akong nag peace sign sakanila ni Fille. I pressed my face on Dennise's shoulder causing the latter to smile and glanced at me.
"Later babe." She kissed my forehead before facing her friends. "Ate Justine told me that if you guys are in Universities then she will recommend you to her friends. I mean it's just modelling. Kaya niyo naman yun! And I asked her if pwedeng dito nalang sa Toronto."
"Right! Omg! I wish nasa University na ako. Ka excite."-Fille
"Pero you think our parents will allow us to do that?"-Bang
"Well, my mom seems to love ate Justine's fashion shows. So maybe for me, yes! Saka it's for girls din naman!"-Jia
"And guys! It's for our future careers, don't you think it's 101 worth it opportunity?!"-Ella
Napaayos ako ng upo at saka sumandal kay Ara na nasa tabi ko. "Are they talking about modelling?" I asked.
"Obviously. Pag magkakasama sila yan naman lagi nilang usapan."-Ara
"Hindi na ako makakasama, OMG!" Mika suddenly said making us look at her.
Amy smiled sheepishly. "Oh yeah! We are actually going back in the Philippines and live our pretty ass in there for good." She said winking at Ella who was frowning.
The bond between our group seemed to pull us in the middle. Creating one expression on our faces. I felt Dennise put her hand at the top of mine. I looked at her and smiled softly.
"Speaking... Before we forget about it." I cleared my throat. "So who's going back in the Philippines, three days from now?"
"Me, Ella, Mika and Amy." Dennise murmured.
"Im excited! Come on! You should act like you are excited too!"-Amy
"Yes it is exciting but the fact that we are going to stay there for good, then it's not fun anymore."-Mika
"Actually for me, it is fun! I mean, yeah! Maiiwan natin sila, pero isn't it fun din na magkakasama tayo dun? Amy's with us." Ella said trying to cheer herself up.
"Mamimiss kita!!!"-Fille
"Me too. I'll gonna miss you guys!"-Bang
"So? Wala na ba tayong magagawa to stop your parents?" Jia asked making me look at her. Sumandal ako kay Dennise na ngayon ay pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri ko. "I mean, it's obvious talaga na ayaw ka nila dito!"
It's weird na pinapauwi si Ella. Naloloka ako sa family problem niya. Siguro kung hindi siya only child hindi siya ang pauuwiin. And it's official nga, sasama si Amy. Si Mika naman, malay ko! Tumatakas lang siguro kila Kiefer at Fille yan eh! Halatang naiipit sa dalawa. She actually forced her parents to buy her ticket. Siya na daw bahala sa lahat pag nasa Pilipinas na siya. Though we all know that she's going to live with her relatives.
"Pero ang epic mo talaga Ells." Fille said before sipping on her iced tea. "I can't believe that your parents are just... Throwing you out of their house without, I don't know a reason maybe?." She chuckled making the latter laugh and shook her head.
"Nah! Im happier. At least hindi na kita makikita."-Ella
"Wow ah! Ikaw pa 'tong may ganang sumaya. Dapat nga ako eh! Wala ng epal sa grupo!"-Fille
"True! Wala nang bully sa school! Wala na din akong kunwari hindi ko kilala! Hahaha."-Jia
"Sama niyo sakin! Pag ako sumikat, who you kayo sakin!" Nakasimangot ni Ella. Umayos na ako ng upo at saka nag tanong.
"Ano ba kasing ginawa mo at biglang nabwisit yang nanay mo sayo huh?"
"Grabe ka naman sa salitang bwisit Ly! Hindi ba pwedeng nagsasawa lang sila sa kakapaalam ko araw araw?"-Ella
"Gala pa more kase! Hindi ba't sinabi ko na sayo dati na bawas bawasan ang kakalabas?"-Dennise
"Nako! Araw araw din naman nating pinag sasabihan yan! Hindi nakikinig!"-Michelle
"Totoo! Pati sa school nun!"-Bang
"So ganon?! Ako na naman may kasalanan! Wow lang ah!" Asik ni Ella at pairap na sumubo ng fries. "Kasalanan ko bang laging may lakad yang si Bang?"
"Hoy! Minsan ikaw lang din nag aaya saakin. Hindi lang ako."-Bang
"Ay true! Pati gabi. Nag tetexan silang dalawa."-Ara
Natawa ako ng mahina dahil sa palitan nila ng salita. Nakasimangot lang si Ella. Kakaawa naman siya. Pero hindi naman siguro yun yung dahilan ah? Napayag din naman parents niya.
"Oh baka naman you did something with Amy na nalaman nila."
"Babe!" Dennise hissed making me look at her.
"What?" Hindi siya sumagot at sinamaan lang ako ng tingin. I looked at Ella again. "So ano? May ginawa nga kayo?"
"No. Wala."-Ella
"What are you thinking Alyssa?"-Amy
I shrugged. "Nothing. Hindi pa ba kayo?" At nabatukan nga ako ni Dennise. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko at saka pasimangot na tumingin sakanya. "Sadista mo babe."
"You're thinking dirty again!"-Dennise
"Epekto ng number six!" Michelle put her hands up which caused me to stand and slap it with a loud sound. "High five! Saya mag ka love life."
"What's six?"-Bang
"Think about the things that you're doing with Ara."-Amy
Namula kaagad si Bang kaya sabay kaming tumawa ni Ara. Nag apir pa kami kaya mas lalong sumimangot ang girlfriend niya. "Well! Nasobrahan nga kasi si Alyssa at Dennise sa six." Sabi ni Fille ng nakakaloko.
"Babe..." I called my girlfriend when I felt her hand on my hips. "I did not say anything. They're actually guessing... Hey!" Napalayo ako dahil sa pag kurot niya. "What? It's not my fault na minsan ganun ako mag isip... Aray!" Nam mo! Kurot na naman ng kurot. Ays.
Ngumiti siya ng nakakaloko. "Im sorry. My girlfriend's so soft that I can't help myself but to pinch her soft skin." She said kissing my cheeks.
"Speaking of sex... Sinong unang may experience non?" Jia asked at nilibot ang paningin sa table namin.
"Ok? We are in a public resto talking about our sex lives... How's that?"
"Can we talk about something else?" Bang asked playing the salad on her plate.
"Yes!" Dennise pointed her fork at me. "You should start talking about your camping trip. Ngayon na. So that we all know when and where are you going for the weekend." She said and swallowed her food.
Pinanood ko lang siyang kumain. Sobrang seryoso niya lang. Ito yung nakakainlove at the same time nakakainis sa girlfriend ko. Nakakainlove kasi makikita mo talaga kung gaano siya ka responsible at ka dedicated sa buhay niya eh. Ang kaso, kung kailan dapat light talk lang saka niya nilalabas yung side niyang ganyan. Amp.
"We are going to snake Island via canoes which sucks because that will be tiring." Ara started. "Plus! Two days one night lang 'yon. Yung weather pa this weekend malala."
"So yes! We're going to Snake Island via canoes, so start from Lake Shore." I shrugged. "Yun lang naman eh!"
"Pero isn't it the weather is going to be bad this weekend?"-Bang
"You know Canada! We can't predict the weather." Said Dennise looking outside. "Can't you change the dates?"
"Ay true! Hindi ba pwedeng i-postpone yan?"-Bang
"Hindi na pwede. At ng mag hiwalay naman kayo kahit dalawang araw lang."-Jia
"It's not like you two are not like them." Amy said making Jia glared at her. She shrugged. "Well! You've been together for two years! And I haven't seen you guys fight or have this cold treatment thing towards each other."
"Amy's right! You guys are glued really tight!"-Fille
"Jia's a bitch that she couldn't let me go." Michelle replied, "i mean it's true! Everywhere I go she's acting like Im going to live in that place for good. Are you for real? Kahit sa banyo tinatanong!"
"Hey! You can't blame me! I couldn't forget the day I saw you with a girl in your room! Duh!"-Jia
I tensed up on my seat. I gulped my own saliva and fixed myself on my chair. "where are we going next?" I asked trying to change our topic.
"Aww, you look like you're going to pee on your pants!" Fille teased.
"Well! Usapang kabit."-Ella
"Or usapang one night stand." Bang raised an eye brow at Ara.
"Usapang trust 101." Jia murmured pressing the fork on her lips. She licked it making me look away and sakto namang nakatingin saakin si Dennise.
"Are you sure, you guys are okay with your issues?"-Amy
"It seems like... Hindi pa."-Mika
"Saamin ni Mika, okay na kami! Hindi ko lang alam kila Alyssa and Dennise."-Fille
Napangiti ako at hinalikan ang palad ni Dennise. "Huwag niyo ng buksan ang nakaraan, ang mahalaga ang estado ng relasyon namin sa ngayon." Malumanay kong sabi at halata namang nagustuhan ng katabi ko.
"Tama!" Ara said. "Dapat ang past, past na. Hindi na dapat hinahalungkat pa!" Dagdag pa niya at saka tumango saakin.
"Past na nga kasi binabalikan pa!"-Michelle
"Well we did not call it past for nothing."-Ella
"Bakit ba hilig niyong balikan ang nakaraan?" Kakamot kamot kong tanong. "Tapus na yun! Hahalungkatin niyo na naman. You're going to look for something para magalit kayo saamin and feel like we cheated all over again." Did I say it right? Tama naman ako eh. Hilig nila yan!
"I did not say anything yet!" Ella smirked.
"Huwag masyadong pahalata Ly!"-Bang
"I am not!"
"Defensive. Diyan kayo magaling! Wala pang sinasabi mahaba na kaagad ang sagot." Sarcastic namang sabi ni Jia at tinaasan ng kilay si Dennise.
"Bakit nga ba napaka defensive mo babe?" Mapanlokong tanong ni Dennise and I could feel her finger tips at the back of my ear. She leaned closer and blew warm air on it making me feel more anxious.
"Im not being defensive okay?" I said, "it's just I am explaining. Saka tama naman sagot ko ah? Kayo lagi yung naghahalungkat tapus..."
"Oh ayan na naman. Ang haba na naman po ng sagot niya."-Dennise
"Hahahaha! Halatang defensive!"-Michelle
"Huwag na kasi kumontra Ly! Patalo ka nalang, hindi ka mananalo pag lagi kang ina-under." Pairap na sagot ni Mika kaya nakatanggap ito ng sapo sa likod ng ulo mula kay Fille. "Told you!" She added and frowned.
"Ay! No. Alyssa's not under naman ah? I'ver never slapped her head or something. Hindi ko pa siya nauutusan or whatever."-Dennise
"Really?"-Jia
"Sana si Dennise nalang niligawan ko."-Ara
"Subukan mo! Papatayin kitang hayup ka!" Mabilis kong sabi at umakbay kay Dennise. "Akin to yo!!! Akin lang to! Kahit hindi kami, bala ka! Isang sapok sige!"
"Amy! Are you going to be like Alyssa if ever na maging tayo?" Ella giggled.
Kunwaring napaisip naman si Amy. She looked at us and smiled. "I have my own ways bae." She said.
"Yeah Amy. We have our own ways!"-Mika
"Originality ika nga nila."-Ara
"Parang siya meron!" Sabi naman ni Bang na nagpasimangot kay Ara. "Bumabawi lang ako!" Dagdag pa niya at sinamaan ng tingin si Ara.
"Hahaha! Kawawang Bangnita!"-Fille
"I know right! Si Alyssa nalang sana sinagot ko!"-Bang
Natawa kami pareho ni Dennise. Napalayo siya ng kaunti at saka ako tinitigan ng matagal. "I think si Alyssa na makakasagot niyan." Sabi niya at saka sumandal sa balikat ko. "See? I told you! Hindi siya under. She has freedom!"
"Oo! Hahaha!" Sarcastic na tawa ni Fille. "Freedom, pero andami na palang bilin bago uuwi ng Pinas!" Sabi niya na naging dahilan ng pag tingin ko kay Dennise.
"Kaya mahal na mahal kita Fille eh! Kilalang kilala mo si Dennise."-Jia
"Obvious naman kasi! Silent devil yan eh!"-Michelle
"Inner monster kamo!" Dagdag ni Ella at tumawa pa ng bahagya. Sabagay tama naman sila. At least we all know how to read this silent killer by my side.
"Silent killer!"-Amy
"So balik saakin ang mga salita ganon?"-Dennise
They all agreed making me laugh. Bang stared at me for a long time causing me to face her. She was sitting beside Ara who was sitting beside me. I smiled softly while she licked her lips seductively. I know she was trying to seduce me but hell no. My hands were gripping Dennise's hand and it's enough to make me feel contented.
I chuckled. Fille cleared her throat. Bang looked at her with wicked smile. "You can't seduce her Bangnita!" Fille shook her head in disapproval.
"Walang epek! Kaloka."-Bang
"See? You can't just do that in front of her. Wala talagang epekto."-Dennise
"Pag lasing lang siya!"-Mika
"Right!" My girlfriend laughed and stand on her feet. "She's mine you know? And we're connected. So, better seduce someone else." She said making Jia and the rest groaned.
"Why every serious words of yours sounds super sweet and not serious at all?" Kunwaring frustrated na tanong ni Ella. Napailing nalang ako at saka inalalayan si Dennise na makababa ng mini ladder ng pwesto namin.
It was actually a Japanese restaurant kaya bongga ang ayos. We ate sushi different kinds, and of course nag noodles soup din kami. It was my threat. Lahat daw sila broke. Speaking! Malapit na maubos pera ko. Kaloka.
"So, where to go next?" I asked once we reached the parking lot. I opened the door for Dennise who was fixing my duffel bag. "Babe, don't wear my uniform again. Nag pawis po ako." Sabi ko at saka humarap ulit kila Mika.
She shrugged. "You actually promise us na pag nanalo tayo we'll have our first tattoos." Mika smirked and nodded her head at the next car. Ara and Bang.
"Did I hear it right? Tattoos?"-Dennise
"Ok? So lahat ba tayo?" Takang tanong ko at saka hinarangan ang window ni Den. I heard her groan making me laugh. "I haven't choose my image yet!"
"We still have time to do that! Get in the car and drive!"-Mika
"Copy that master Ye!"
Sumakay na nga ako ng sasakyan. I fastened my seat belt and raised an eye brow when I saw Dennise wearing my jersey shirt. "What did I just hear Dan?" She asked.
"What did I asked you not to do?"
"Answer my question first.."-Dennise
I shrugged and started my engine. "No. You answer my question first."
"Are we really having this conversation again?"-Dennise
"You tell me!"
"So you're actually going to have your first tattoo?"-Dennise
"Really babe?"
"What? Mas matigas ako sayo, sorry."-Dennise
I smirked, "what if we'll make you feel wobbly again?"
Dennise bit her lip as red marks started to creep out on her cheeks. I giggled and kissed her cheeks after stopping my car at the parking lot in front of the tattoo shop. "Why are you so... Hate you! Swear!" She screamed.
"Now that's what I called lambingan." I laughed before pulling her for a kiss. She sighed. "I love you too baby boo."
"Im sorry."-Dennise
"It's fine. I know you love my sweaty smell." I smiled. It's weird how she loves my terrible sweaty jersey. Si mama nga at Rachel ayaw ng amoy, siya gustong gusto niya. Nung una nga tinatago tago ko sakanya yun but the time na nahanap niya feel ko mabango pawis ko. Lagi niya kasing inaamoys. She loves it more than I do.
She pecked me on the lips pulling me out of my thoughts. "Okay. I might get my first skin drawing too." Sabi niya na nag pakunot ng noo ko. "Im not accepting a no for an answer." She said.
"No!"
"Babe!"-Dennise
"Dennise, masakit 'yun."
"It's not like it's more painful compared to what I felt when you cheated."-Dennise
"You're being harsh!"
"Sorry not sorry. But im not that type of a girl that you could boss around." She shrugged and crossed her arms above her chest.
"Sorry not sorry but we both know that I could make you do things that you don't want to do."
Her expression changed. From hard to soft. I kissed her cheeks before stepping out of my car. Napasandal ako sa sasakyan ko at saka hinintay si Bang at Fille na makalapit saakin. They both waited for Ella too. At ng makalapit sila ay isa isa nilang pinakita ang phone nila. Pictures.
"Where's Dennise?"-Fille
"Inside? Should I allow her to have her first tattoo?" I asked them confused.
"For me? It's a yes!"-Bang
"Me too!"
"Why?" Takang tanong ko. "Masakit kaya yun. I don't want to see her in pain again."
Tumawa si Bang kaya napasimangot ako sakanya. "You already saw her in pain!" Sabi niya. "First nung accidentally you had one night stand. Second, when you had sex!"
"Verbal masyado! Kaloka."-Ella
"Sanay ka naman na eh! Hindi ka na bata!" Asar ni Fille at saka umakbay kay Ella. "It's a yes for me. I mean, para same day kayo. Sweet! Relationship goals. Diba?"
"Eww no! Pero okay. I'll let her get her first tattoo na then."
Pinauna ko sila kaya naiwan ulit akong mag isa sa parking lot. I opened the door for Dennise and she stepped out quietly. She opened her arms for a hug which caused me to buried my face on her neck.
"Okay. We'll get it together." I murmured making everything feel light around us. Ugh... I don't know how much I love this girl anymore. Everyday was just... Weirdly amazing.
———
"Mainit ba babe?"-Dennise
"Hmm... Hindi masyado. But it's fine. I want more..." I moaned as I shut my eyes really hard. I pressed my face on my pillow and breath deeply.
Dennise's hands roamed at my back. Pressing every sore parts of my muscles. Her delicate fingers trailed lines at my sides making me smile stupidly. I clenched my muscles on my stomach when I felt her fingers trying to get in between the bed and my skin. She pinched it slightly sending a cold electricity through my bones.
"Hahaha, babe... Im ticklish." I giggled and tried to remove her hands.
"Hmm..." She hummed and laid at my back. I could feel her front pressing on my bared skin. I felt great. I wanted to sleep but hearing her soft breathes was making me stay up and just feel her at my back. "We're not done yet. Don't sleep." She whispered next to my ear.
"I know. You're next later."
Hinalikan niya ako sa batok at saka umupo ulit sa likuran ko. Naramdaman ko ulit ang mga kamay niya. She massaged my sore muscles more until it went down at the lower part of my back. She squeezed my ass gently making me turned myself at my back.
"Babe..." I warned her. She smiled playfully as her hand squeezed my legs. "Hahaha, stop!"
"Iloveyou..." She said staring lovingly in my eyes. I sat on the bed with my hands at my back.
"Kiss."
She shook her head. "My sweet alluring Alyssa's addicted to my kisses." Nakangiti niyang sabi at saka tinaasan ako ng kilay.
I stared at her. Then the air suddenly changed as she slowly removed her shirt in front of me. She sexily pulled it up and throw it on the floor. Her eyes met mine, I smiled lovingly as I saw how love invaded her eyes. Not lust, but love. She slowly moved and her face's expression changed in an instant,
I laid on my back again and put my hands both on her hips. I squeezed her slightly. She was wearing her red bra covering her ample breast. My eyes scanned her white creamy skin.
"You're beautiful." I whispered looking at her. She looked down on her body and winced again. "I know baby, it's painful."
"Why did I asked for two?" She frowned and I laughed.
I shrugged. "That's okay. You'll be fine tomorrow."
She got two tattoos. And I loved all of them. One was below her left breast, it was a key heart. At the end of the key was a heart with a hole for the key, then there was a ribbon on top. Beside the key there was follow your heart written on it. Her other tattoo was around her navel. Butterfly below with vines connected at it then going up around her navel. Thanked god she said no for the piercing.
I massaged her sides. She was breathing calmly while sitting on my stomach. I bend my knees and let her leaned her back on them.
"Why on your left chest?" She asked while her eyes were close. She hold onto my hands on her sides. "I think yours is more painful."
"It's fine. Wala lang, trip ko lang." Sagot ko at saka marahang sumandal sa head board. Nag patattoo nga ako sa left chest. It was a word, love tapus infinity. I don't know why I chose it, pero si Dennise lang naman nakikita ko kanina. It symbolizes my feelings for her, an infinite love that I've never experienced in my whole life.
That three in the afternoon we didn't notice that we fell asleep. I was leaning on the head board while Dennise was hugging me. I woke up around 5 without her in the room. I put on my shirt and walked in the kitchen. I smelled shrimp soup.
My eyes landed on her sexy back. She's perfect. Marunong siyang magluto. Hindi ko alam kung saan ba siya nanggaling! Maganda, matalino... She's talented in every ways. And she's all mine.
I walked closer to her. She was dancing gracefully. I shook my head as I heard nothing but silence. My hands made their way on her hips. I hold onto her making the latter turned to face me.
"Sleepy head."-Dennise
"Evening na ba?"
"Nope."-Dennise
"What are you cooking?"
"Food."-Dennise
Tumawa ako ng mahina at saka yumakap na ng tuluyan sakanya. We both sighed as our bodies pressed together. We fit perfectly. Even our heights. Tumingin ako sa niluluto niya at napapikit when it's delicious smell reached my nose. Dennise turned off the stove after one more stir.
"Why are you so perfect Dennise?" I asked whispering while my eyes were close.
"Im not perfect Alyssa Dan." She chuckled. I kissed her jaw, "Im being me." She added before removing my arms around her. She cupped my cheeks and looked deeply in my eyes. "No one's perfect in this world except God, and in the eyes of the person you love."
I smiled widely before leaning down to kiss her lips. "Is it fine?" I asked, she nodded making me shook my head and bit her lip.
Nanatili kami sa ganung pwesto. The sore part on my left chest seemed to go away as my heart beats calmly. I opened my eyes and saw her staring at me. Her hands were still on my cheeks, squeezing it with gentleness. She giggled when I tried removing her hands.
"Babe..."
"Where have you been all my life Alyssa Dan?"-Dennise
"I've been in your heart hiding from the shadows."
"For all of my life, you are the one..." She sang making the butterflies in my stomach scattered from different places. Her voice was so soft and sweet. How could someone sounds so perfect? No one's perfect they said, but they were wrong... Dennise is perfect in my eyes.
I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her for a hug. We hugged each other so tight that I could feel her heart beating on my right chest. I closed my eyes as she buried her face on the crook of my neck. Favourite spot naming dalawa pag nag yayakapan. Weird af.
"Mamimiss mo ako?" Bulong kong tanong habang nakangiti. Tumango siya kaya tumawa ako ng mahina. The bond between us seemed to hugged us tighter as if afraid to leave us any time soon. "Mamimiss din po kita." Sabi ko ulit na naging dahilan ng pag yakap niya pa ng mahigpit.
"Nakakahinga kapa?"-Dennise
Napa buntong hininga ako. "Pag nawala ka, hindi na."
"Baby..." She called with her sweet voice. I felt her pulled her head and looked up at me. "You'll be fine, alright?"
"Will you?"
She nodded. "I'll be back in two months, aight?"
I mentally frowned. Two months without her saddened every emotions in me. Long Distance Relationship, kaya ko kaya? Kakayanin ko para sakanya. Mabilis lang naman yun, if gugustuhin mong bilisan.
"Two months it is." I breathed out making her frown.
"You'll be fine. Promise me, okay?"-Dennise
"Okay."
"You're going to call me every night right?"-Dennise
"Not days?"
"Nope. Busy ka po pag days, diba?" Takang tanong niya at saka tumungo at dinikit ang labi niya sa ilong ko. "We will be fine Alyssa Dan. Patience."
Napatango lang ako at saka lumayo ng kaunti. I hold onto her lower back as we walked towards the table. Ito yung mamimiss ko sakanya, pagiging girlfriend slash nanay niya. Kaya ko kaya?
Patience is a virtue, sabi nga nila.
