Semua Bab My Love, Annie: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Can you come over?" Jemi asked me on the other line. Pauwi palang ako dahil kakatapos palang ng shift ko sa trabaho. Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang ginawa ko bago ako sumagot ulit. "Ano bang problema?" I asked lazily as I massaged my neck while walking to my car. "He wants to die, I think," she answered back.Alright so here's the thing, I have three best friends named, Jemi, Riz, and Elijah who happens to be the only guy. Yes, he's a hundred percent straight. And Jemi called me because our dearest friend Elijah was heartbroken."Tell him I'll kill him with my own hands when I arrive." sabi ko saka binaba ang phone. I drove to his place with a heavy heart, it's not that I hate him for not talking to me for three consecutive weeks but it's the fact that after all those weeks of not talking to me this is the first news I'm going to hear from him. Hindi pa ako nakakatatlong katok ay pinagbuksan na nila ako agad ng pinto.I frowned after seeing their long faces. I walked throu

Nagising ako sa mabangong amoy galing sa labas. The sweet aroma of coffee is lingering in the air as well as the smell of delicious breakfast, my stomach started to rumble sa sobrang gutom. Pikit mata akong nag-unat habang humihikab.I reached for my phone at the bedside table and saw that it's quarter to seven a.m, I need to get ready for work. Napasapo ako sa noo ko nang maalala ko na wala nga pala akong baon na damit pamalit, I sighed when I realized that I still need to go back home and get change especially that I forgot to wash it last night, there's no way in hell na papasok ako sa trabaho na ayun pa rin ang suot ko. Mabilis akong naligo at halos magdikit ang kilay ko nang hindi ko na makita ang mga damit kong hinubad kagabi,Shit where's my clothes dito ko lang 'yon nilagay ah! Nagbalot ako ng towel at nagmamadaling lumabas ng kwarto para tanungin si Eli. "Eli--" "Jesus, Anjie! You shouldn't be going out with just a towel on your body while I'm practically here!!" natata

Quarter to 2 am nang matapos namin ang movie, Elijah insists na dito nalang din matulog sina Riz and Jemi but they both refused dahil may mga lakad pa daw sila early in the morning kaya naman wala na rin nagawa si Eli kundi ang pumayag. Eli offered na ihatid sila kahit hanggang sa parking lot lang at ako naman ay nag umpisa nang magligpit ng mga kalat sa living room.After cleaning the living room I strolled to Elijah's room and make my way through the bathroom to brush my teeth. I heard Elijah's footsteps entering his room as well and it's not late before he swung his head to the doorstep of the bathroom as he stood there without his shirt on and just his black cotton shorts while watching me through our reflection in the mirror. He stared at me for a minute as he crossed his arms against his broad chest while leaning to the door frame before he decided to open his mouth to talk.. "Carlo invited me to his party next week," he started, voice deep and low.Carlo? Oh, Amber's boy b

Magkahawak-kamay kaming naglalakad ni Elijah habang papasok sa nasabing club, the one who rented by the birthday boy Carlo. It's been a week since Elijah and I talked about the proposal and right now I'm glad that Eli was respecting my decision about giving a time to think about it thoroughly. Alam kong hindi rin biro sa part niya yung mag-suggest ng ganoon especially if tungkol sa aming dalawa at sa pagkakaibigan namin ang nakataya. In my part, though I find his idea and suggestions odd and unusual I honestly appreciate his effort. I don't think he's taking an advantage of my situation, he was compromising and it is something that I always admired about him. He was just giving out ideas while trying to help me out on my issues without me being offended or embarrassed, and knowing Elijah I knew he would do anything just to help me. I also understand his point of view in this matter, he respects me so much just as I respect him as well. I know he's just trying to make me see the possib

Three days. Three days after that incident, Elijah refused to talk to me. All of my texts and calls were purposely ignored. Okay, he's not mad pero disappointed siya, and I understand why. When he told me to reflect on my actions, I did all the possible things para ma-justify ko yung action ko but it turns out na parehas kaming tama at parehas din kaming may mali. Tama siya in a way na that was his personal issue and I shouldn't have acted out that way, mali naman siya sa part na hindi siya nagsabi agad kung anong plano niya. And in my case, tama ako in a way na ang tanging motibo ko lang naman ay ang makatulong at mali naman ako sa part na hindi ako nag iisip ng tamang hakbang para gawin ng maayos yung intensyon ko. "So you mean, you just told their entire circle that you both were an item?" Riz asked me while taking out a slice of pizza. Pasalampak naman akong naupo sa couch after ng attempt kong tawagan ulit si Eli, they were here because obviously they wanted to hear what happ
