"How did you know I was there?" I asked.When we got out of the building, I almost fell to the ground because my knees were so weak. Kinailangan niya pa akong alalayan para maupo ako sa bench malapit sa entrance.It's indeed already dark. May mga estudyante pa pero kokonti na lang. When I looked up, marami nang bituin sa langit. It would be nice to just look up and watch them twinkling. But I couldn't shake the fear off from what happened just a while ago. Kung hindi dumating si Zandrey, I couldn't imagine what could've happened."I tried reaching you but you were not answering," he replied. "So I asked Daisy and she told me you're probably still in class. So I went there," he added."Bakit mo 'ko pinuntahan?""I was gonna ask about dinner," he replied. "You didn't reply to my texts," he added.I nodded, still looking up above."Are you okay?""I wasn't until you came."This time, I looked at him and tried to smile. But as I smiled, the tears fell. They were inevitable. I was holding

I've heard people confess to me before- saying they like me and that they want to court me. Upon hearing those confessions, I instantly said 'no' because I know all too well that I don't feel the same towards them at ayokong sayangin nila ang oras nila sa akin.All those times, I thought I was incapable of liking someone.But then here's Zandrey telling me he kissed me because he likes me.And I don't know what to say. I don't know how to comprehend my feelings.Gusto ko rin ba siya? Are the feelings mutual?I'm not sure."You're not required to say anything, Ai," he said. "I just wanted to tell you because I don't want to keep things from you. I want to be honest with you."Okay. Anong isasagot ko dito?I heard him heave a sigh. "Now it feels lighter now that it's out."Paano naman ako? I don't know what to say!Sumandal siya sa upuan, his arms stretched out in front of him. Napatingin ako doon and can't help but admire his arms. God, I'm in a serious situation and now I'm admiring

When Daisy and I were still in high school, we had another friend named Trina. She was a transferee. Her parents move from one place to another so frequently that she doesn't get to stay in a school for a whole academic year.I was never the friendly one, but Daisy is. She and Trina got so close, and since we're always together, I also became close with her. We would eat lunch together, hang out after class, and I even tutor them when needed.We were friends for about three months when she told us that they're moving again. Daisy and I were devastated. Pero wala naman kaming magagawa kaya tinanggap na lang namin. But Daisy being Daisy, she suggested we should hang out one last time before she goes away. We decided to go on a picnic- the location, the day and time, the food we will bring, all were planned. All were ready. But on the day that we were supposed to meet, I didn't show up.I was never good at goodbyes. I knew that. Maybe it was a result of my mom being gone when I was at a

The next morning, I woke up with no Zandrey beside me. I panicked so I looked for my phone to call him. But then I saw his text saying he has to leave because his class is early and he needs to go home to change. I stifle a sigh of relief.I thought he left because he already got what he wanted. Then I thought, of course not. He's not like that. If he's anything, he's decent. He may be intense in bed, but I know he's a good guy and I have the rest of time to get to know him even better.Naalala ko naman ang nangyari sa amin kagabi. After what happened, we ordered food and ate. We were so hungry after the deed. Hindi ko alam na nakakagutom pala 'yon.I felt my face heating up because of my thoughts.God...I tried to erase it in my thoughts as I start preparing for school. Wala na akong oras para maghanda ng breakfast kaya naisip kong sa school na lang bumili ng pagkain. I could just eat it while the class was going on. Thank God for not-so-strict instructors when it comes to eating o

"This will be your villa, Ma'am. Enjoy your stay," the woman said smilingly. I smiled in return.It's been more than a month since that encounter with Zandrey. Simula 'nong mangyari 'yon, parang hindi ako mapakali. Araw-araw, natatakot akong baka makasalubong ko siya sa daan, sa mall, kung saan. Natatakot akong baka bigla lang siyang sumulpot sa office o sa shop.I was so stressed because of that. Dagdagan pa ng stress ko mula sa trabaho. I couldn't eat well kasi madalas wala akong gana, causing me to lose some weight. So when the workload has become lighter, I went to this resort that Daisy suggested para makapag-relax.I looked around the place and I can say it's cool and it looks refreshing. Sana nga at makapagrelax ako."Thank you," I mumbled and the staff smiled at me before leaving.I looked around the villa. It was a huge room. Too huge for me, actually. Kompleto na lahat sa facilities. And there was even a private pool inside. Deprived talaga ako sa bakasyon kahit may naka-sep
