[u][b]CHAPTER 08.[/b][/u]
[i][b]"Can I fall for you?"[/b][/i]
Hindi ko alam kung ano kaagad ang naramdaman ko. All I can remember is that I was so happy that I really smiled sweetly to him with tears of joy in my eyes.
"I-is there something wrong?" He asked.
"H-hindi mo naman kailangang humingi ng permiso e." I smiled faintly.
"Y-you mean.." He suddenly smiled widely.
"Yeah." Nakangiti parin ako and he suddenly held my hand. He moved closer to me and akala ko he'd kiss me, pero di pala. He took my hand and kissed it. And that was more than enough to let my body feel that tingling sensation climbing up and down my spine.
Can you believe this?! This is like a dream come true. Rhys Romualdez is actually asking me to be his girlfriend. And no more pa-hard to get. Oo na yung sinagot ko sa kanya. And I'm so happy with just everything. I guess, pwede na akong sabihang "you're complete".

"Beeeaaaaa!!" I shrieked at the phone. "Yeeeaah.. He asked me if he can fall for me.. can you belieeevvee iitttt?! Sobrang kilig to the booooneesss!... nakuuu..Oa naman nito. Ndie aahh.. Syempre friends parin tayo.. oo naman! Ayy.. ganun? Sige, sige.. byee."

MONDAY. OCTOBER.
"Really? As in kayo na talaga?"
"Yupp." I smiled.
"Lokaret ka talaga Yana. I so envy you."
"Si Vincent nalang kasi yung sa iyo." I teased her.
"Duhhh. That guy likes you no. Ayokong maging epal."
"Ha-ha. Funny Bea. He doesn't like me. Magkaibigan kami simula pa noon. Kaya hindi iyan pwede."
"Yeah, try convincing yourself." She said and laughed. I just laughed with her nalang.
Wala pa namang ata nakakaaalam saming dalawa ni Rhys. Pero hindi na kelangang ipaalam. Marami narin kasing nag-iisip na matagal na kaming dalawa. Hindi lang kami umaamin. Pano kami aamin noon? Wala rin naman kaming aaminin. T_T Pero ngayon.. meron na. =p
Nung hapon na, when I went outside, I saw Rhys leaning on the wall of the visitor's gate and I smiled at him. He then grabbed my hand and ayun, hinatid niya ako sa bahay. And yes, I started to talk and open up to him which is a very good thing.
And to make things shorter. Matagal narin kaming ganun and I really like being with him. Mom knows it already pero di parin alam ni Dad. And guess what, yung girlfriend ni Kuya Raph? Pinsan din pala ni Rhys. I guess we're really meant for each other. Hihi.

"So.. wanna talk about Pascal's principle?" He grinned.
"oh come on.. you don't like Physics." I teased him.
"Sinong nagsabing hindi?"
"Ikaw?"
"Well, okay. I don't like Physics, pero para sa iyo, I'm trying to like it. Para at least lang naman, makasabay ako sa brain mo. Diba? I mean... I'm not that super smart-"
"I get it." I grinned at him.
Umupo kami dun sa garden area ng bahay one Sunday afternoon and he was helping me with my computer project. He's good at it.
"Hindi kaya.." I laughed.
"Hindi iyan cute, it's gayish." Sabi niya.
"Ikaw kaya gumagawa diyan." I laughed again.
"Eh sabi mo ganito? Hahaha."
"Eh, hayaan mo na iyan. Cute naman iyan eh."
"Eh-"
"Yana!" Uh-oh. It's DAD.
Mabilis akong tumayo and looked at Rhys. Si Rhys parang wala lang. Mukhang happy pa at mamimimeet na ang Daddy ko.
"Uhmm.. Dad.." I smiled.
Nakatingin lang sakin si Dad and tumingin ulit kay Rhys then back to me.
"Err.. Si Rhys po pala-"
"Good afternoon Sir. I'm Rhys Romualdez, b-"
"Studyante ko." I smiled. Rhys looked at me. "Hmm.. i'm teaching him physics and he's helping me out at my computer project. You know, that web-web thingy?" Siniko ko si Rhys para sumagot kahit papano.
"Uhm.. yes sir." He smiled. Naks, mukhang decent tayo ah.
"Okay. Nice meeting you Rhys. I'll go ahead." Sabi ni Dad and went inside the house.
That's when I realized I was holding my breath for more than around ten minutes already. Napatingin ako kay Rhys and mukhang galit ang labs ko.
"Ba't di mo nalang sinabi na boyfriend mo ako?" He whispered.
"ano ka ba? Gusto mo bang makipagbreak sa iyo Dad ko?"
"Pero kahit na. I don't want you lying to your parents."
"Awww. Ayos lang iyan. Mom taught me. And siya rin nagsabing wag sabihin kay Dad." I winked.
"But Ya-"
"No buts. BACK TO THE PROJECT RHYS!" Nilakasan ko medyo ang boses ko para marinig talaga ni Dad.
[hr]
We were okay naman. Two months na kaming okay ni Rhys. December na nga oh. Can you believe it? Magtwotwo months na kami. I mean, okay narin iyan kahit papano diba? And the relationship is going smooth naman. Balanced masyado. Lagi nga kaming lumalabas e. Ang dami kong palusot since nalaman ni Dad na may 'RHYS' na nakabuntot sakin. And san kami lagi? KFCCCC. And I'm being a good girlfriend naman raw which I heard also from Vincent according daw to Rhys.
Kaya nga nagtataka ako kung san ako nagkulang. Nagtataka ako kung bakit ganun. Nagtataka ako kung ano talaga yung nasa isip niya. Nagtataka ako kung san ako nagkamali. Nagtataka ako kung ano ang pwede niya pang gawin sa mga susunod na oras, araw at buwan.

DECEMBER.
I spent my Christmas at Singapore with Kuya. Sayang nga at di ko naspend yun with Bea, Rhys and Vincent. Pero he called naman at my phone and greeted me.
"Sa 28 pa uwi ko. Diyan kami magnew-new year.. yeah.. ikaw din.. what will I bring you? ... nahh.. miss you too.. sige.. bye.. love you too." I hang up my phone blushing and smiling. Syempre, alam na yun nina Kuya kung bakit.
Pero honestly, 26 ang uwi ko. Gusto ko lang siya isurprise. And when he called, I was on my way to the airport. And no, di ko kasama si Dad sa isang car. I was with Kuya and his gf. Si Mom and Dad naman, nasa isang car with Kuya's GF's parents. So yoon. No worries.

DECEMBER 27.
"Bakit, anong kelangan mo dito sa SM?"
"Wala lang. I just want to feel that New-Year season sa mall. Alam mo yun. Everyone's cramming up what to buy."
"Naku Bea ha, uso ba iyan dito. Nasa states lang iyan."
"Meron iyan dun, pero meron din dito. Gets?" She grinned. And ayun, I just tagged along with her at the Department store. "Gaaaahh, I'm hungry na bestfriend. Let's eat at Jabeee."
"KFC nalang.." I smiled.
"I wanna eat Palabok kaya Jabee tayo."
"Sige na.. sa KFC nalang tayo.."
"Sa Jabee nga. Gusto kong kumain ng palabok."
"Gusto kong kumain ng Hotshots." I smiled. "Libre kita."
"KFC tayo." Automatic na sagot ni Bea, kaya ayun, dumiretso kami ng KFC.
Then she suddenly changed her mind nung nasa labas na kami.
"Hindi, Jabi nalang tayo."
"Bea.. andito na tayo o.."
"Hindi kasi.. ano.."
"And marami namang vacant s-" O__O Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa nakita. Shit. Bigla nalang pinuno ng luha ang mata ko. I smiled. "Tara.. Jollibee tayo." sabi ko kay Bea at hinila ko siya.
"B-bahay nalang kaya?" sabi niya.
Rhys Romualdez and Gabrielle Altuna at KFC ---- together ---- eating --- and having fun ---- and.. [i][b]nagsusubuan?![/b][/i]

[quote]"Sabi ko sa iyo, mag-ingat ka eh."
"HIndi ko magets kung san ako nagkamali."
"Hindi ka nagkamali, siya ang nagkamali. Kaya don't stress yourself."
"You're right." I smiled.
"Basta.. if you need someone, I'm just ALWAYS HERE.. " he then whispered.. "waiting.."
Napatingin ako sa kanya. But then I shook my head.
Nung nasa bahay na ako, I found out na nag-out of town sina Mommy and Daddy because of business matters and all. So naiwan lang ako sa bahay, then I called Bea to come and have a sleep-over. It was raining hard nung mga around 8:30 na ng gabi.
"The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
It couldn’t be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will [b]fall for you [/b]
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
I won’t live to see another day
I swear its true
[b]Because a girl like you is impossible to find [/b]
You’re impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you that I would never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh, But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible to find
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
[b]I’m yours to keep[/b]
And hold onto your words
‘Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you’re asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find"
