"Snow, tulong!" Emma called me in the morning, as it was Saturday and we are off from work.
"Ha? Ano yun?" Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned. I really hate people calling me by the morning. Ang aga pa naman!"I have...a DATE!" Sigaw nya pa sa akin galing sa phone. I sat up straight, hitting my head on the headboard but that's not what I was worried about."A what?" I asked, "Can you repeat that again?""A date, Snow! And I'm having problems! Come over here ASAP! I need you! Hindi ko alam! I don't know what to dress and what makeup and-""Whoa there, Emma. Do you think I'm the best person to ask for that? Sino ba yang kadate mo? Let me know who the guy is before going-""It's Dax." She cut me off.Wait, narinig ko ba sya ng maayos? "Ha? Sino?"“Si Dax!”I scoffed. "Geez, I know that, but why?" The last time I checked, Emma, diba ayaw mo sa kanya? Hate mo sya?” Napatahimik sya.”Taking a deep breath, I said, "ExplaLeroy clapped his hands when everyone was already gathered here, "Now that we're complete, let's go guys," Ani pa ni Leroy, slinging his arms on Hannah’s shoulders.I could see Hannah tensing, her flushed cheeks suddenly turning redder, if that’s even possible.I saw Eion tensing up at what Leroy just did, "Don't touch my cousin, Leroy. Ingat ingat rin sa kamay." He said, scowling at him."Chill Eion, you remember why you're here right?" Natahimik si Eion and we walked towards the elevator. Pumunta pala kami rito pala manood sa sinehan ng pelikula. Kaming mga babae ang munili ng tickets while humiwalay ang mga lalaki para bumili ng pagkain namin. "Ba’t di mo sinabi sa akin na pupunta rin pala si Eion?"I glowered at Emma. She chuckled nervously, "Uhm let me explain Snow..."Hannah interjected."Let's have some fun, Snow. Chill lang tayo, andito kana rin naman. What's with the mood?" "Right, let's enjoy it!" Emma said and marched to Dax who was
He was still breathing heavily. Looking at him up close, I watched his chest rise up and down before pushing him away from me. Inirapan ko sya, standing up and dusting off any dirt on my clothes. He looked at me curiously, then looked around. "Tapos na ba ang movie?""Yes," I answered, diverting my gaze to him. "Kanina pa kita ginigising. Ang sarap ng tulog mo ata.""Oh." He said in realization. He brushed his pants and stood up, "Let's go then."“Why did you even grab me?” I said, referring to what he just did. “Nahulog tuloy ako, ang sakit sa likod nun.” “Sorry, that was just a reflex.” He said. Well, I have to believe him for that I guess. Or I would think that he was just teasing me. Nevermind that, nodding at him, he started to walk towards the exit at sinundan ko nalang sya.We finally left the cinema and got in the parking lot, as Dax told me where they would wait earlier."Oh finally, andyan na kayo. Kain tayo," pag imbita p
Ang saya saya ko at nakahinga ako ng maluwag nung hindi talaga binibring up ni Eion ang kiss namin….but keyword….almost... "I kissed you when I was drunk, didn't I?" That was the first thing I heard as soon as I answered Eion's call on a lovely Sunday morning. Wow. Ang random nyang magtawag at ang aga aga! I didn't respond to that, as I tried calming down the monkeys in my brain. Wow! Naalala nya. Wow! Note the sarcasm."I did, didn't I?" He asked again but I still didn't reply to him. I mean, what should I say? Bat ba nya naalala pa! He sighed, "I'll take that silence as a yes...though I thought it was my usual dream..."Napasigaw ako sa sinabi nya, "What is that usual dream, Eion?""You don't have to know." Sagot pa nya. "By the way, naalala ko ring may offer ka sakin at tinanggap ko…” I gulped, bat ba kinakabahan ako? But at the same time, curious that he’s bringing it up. "Uhm yes... But that was the drunk you. I mean, you regret that right?" I a
I glanced at Eion, who was still eating. "We are? May pupuntahan tayo?"Tumangi sya. Wow. Sya na pala ang nagkusang magschedule ng lakad ko.I sent him my plastic smile. "I'm not informed." What the hell is he saying? Is that what he really came here for? So he's still not giving up on Emma and Dax's date. "Diba sinabi kong di ako sasama?"Iniwan na kami ni mama at lumunta sya sa kusina habang si Nathan naman ay pinagmamasdan lang kami before tugging at Eion's shirt. "Can we play now, Eionnyy?" He said as he pouted. "You promised to play with me last time..pls? Laro tayo.”Eion patted him in the head and picked Nathan on his armpits. "Oh, lalaro tayo pagnaubos mo na ang pagkain mo.” That made Nathan gleamed excitedly. Inubos nya kaagad ang pagkain nya and Eion drank from the glass of water and stood up. "Thanks for the food, Aunt Eve. I love your cooking." He then turned to me, "We'll be leaving in twenty minutes. I'll wait for you. Go and get rea
Sinundan na namin sin Dax and Emma. Nang makarating na kami sa aming susunod na destinasyon, laking gulat ko ng biglang nawala sa tingin ko sina Emma. Susundan namin sila…diba? Asan na sila??Bigla akong nagpanic, pero nakita ko si Eion na sobrang chill lang. Pero bat kami nasa peryahan ngayon? "An amusement park?" I asked Eion, "Sigurado ka bang dito sila pumunta?” "I heard from Leroy last night." He replied, doing something with his phone. "So di kalang pala stalker, chismisa ka rin pala," I commented to which he just gave me a deadpan stare. Sa wakas, nakita ko na ring dumating sina Emma and Dax now arriving with Dax's car by the entrance. Bigla kaming nagpalayo para di kami mahalata. Eion got us two tickets and we now entered.The couple chose to ride childish and slow rides at first but after a while, they were on roller coasters. Nagpahinga ng saglit, and got on the stalls that gave stuffed toys as prizes.Ang rami pa nilang sinakyan na rid
Pumunta si Emma at Dax sa likod ng club at biglang humalik. I gasped in shock, looking at Eion for confirmation, to see if he saw the same but I didn’t have to ask him when I saw his widened eyes, just like mine, confirming it.OH MY GOODNESS! Ready to attack them, susugurin ko na sana si Dax pero bigla akong naawalan ng balanse. Good thing that Eion caught me before I even had the chance to land on the ground. Magkadikit ang mga mukha namin..at konting konti nalang ay malapit nang magkasbong ang mga labi namin, his breath fanning my face. He looked at me, looked at my lips, and gulped. Walang nagsalita sa amin ng ilang segundo, parehong gulat at kabado sa nangyayari. Hindi rin sya kumawala ng hawak sakin…But our moment was interrupted when I felt myself vomiting. I leaned into him, and wanted to go where the restroom is but it was too late.Nasuka na ako sa damit nya.Hindi mo na natandaan kung anong nangyari sunod, I was back at Eion's car with his jac
Napalunok ako sa sagot nya, kabadong kabado na ngayon.Mukhang aatakehin ata ako sa puso kapag nalaman kong may kahihiyan akong ginawa. If he's asking that..that means I really did something. Napamura nalang ako. "Can you tell me what happened?"Umiling sya. "No. Try to remember it." As he said that, he was looking at my motorbike that was parked in front of the shop beside his black SUV car.“It seems like it's that old now.." He commented.I was a bit offended but I just replied, "It was my dad’s motorbike. Sya nagturo sa akin pano magdrive nyan.” remembering about the past. Gosh, I really miss dad...Tumango lang sya, sensing my pain now as he tried to divert the attention, "Where're the keys?""Here," I said, showing him the keys. Grabbing it from my hand, he hopped on my motorbike and faced me, "Hop on." He said, motioning for me na para bang sya ang may ari nito. Pero dahil masunurin ako, sinunod ko nalang ang utos nya. Lumingon sya at nilagay ang hel
Turns out there were only a few scratches at wala namang malaking parte na nasira sa motor ko. Thank goodness. Eion called Leroy to get his car from the shop and take us home, putting my motorbike in his pick up. Nagpangako sya sakin na papalitan nya ang aking motor pero humindi na ako, since maliit lang naman ang sira ay kaya ko naman tong ayusin. Atsaka, ayaw kong magkaroong ng bago at itakwil to no. I really love that motorbike and it has sentimental value to me. It was from my dad, for goodness sake!Eion was too afraid to drive it again, or more like afraid of me. Pero laking taka ko nalang ng pagkalipas ng gabi, meron nang nakahintay na bagong motorbike sa labas ng bahay, greeting me. Bigla namang magpakita ang phone number ni Eion's sa cellphone ko at sinagot ko na to, "Don't bother screaming at me again because I replaced it now. Pinaayos ko na rin yung nasira ko. Did you like it?"Napakurap nalang ako, looking at the two motorbikes in front of ou
