She suddenly hugged me and whispered, "Prince, I still love you... I still do..."
In that moment, the only things I could say were I am not Prince. And I will never be Prince.
"But, I'm not him."
She stared at me for a moment and held my face.
"I'm sorry, Kris. Please accept my apology," She started crying.
I didn't know, that I became too harsh.
"It's alright," I smiled and wiped her tears.
“I'm really confused and... hurt. I don't know what to do anymore.”
“It's alright to rely on someone when you're feeling very down. I told you... You're not by yourself.”
"Thank you," she hiccupped, "I'm tired of this. I'm tired of everything. I'm tired..."
"That's enough," I smiled, "Close your eyes," I whispered and touched her forehead.
Holy Crap. Ang init.
I hugged her tight and whispered, “Next time, magpapasama ka sakin. I was worried.”
[b]Clariane’s POV[/b]
"But, I'm not him."
I looked at the guy. Dang. I thought it was Prince. I'm so stupid.
“I'm sorry, Kris. Please accept my apology…”
Napaiyak na naman ako. Taena. Lasing na talaga ako.
“It's alright,” he smiled as he wiped my tears.
“I'm really confused and... hurt. I don't know what to do anymore,” I painfully admitted.
“It's alright to rely on someone when you're feeling very down. I told you... You're not by yourself.”
"Thank you... I'm tired of this. I'm tired of everything. I'm tired..."
"That's enough," he smiled, "Close your eyes."
I did close my eyes, and then I found my self falling asleep... in his warm arms.
[hr]
Nung nagising na ako, ang daming nakalagay sa katawan ko; bimpo, kumot, jacket pa. Then I saw the table beside me. There were lots and lots of medicine.
Then I glanced at my feet. There I found the man I thought... Nevermind.
I sat myself and poked Kris.
"Hey..."
"blauwhdksndassa," he said and eventually dropped himself on the floor.
"Wooot. Good Morning!!!" I greeted him and started kicking his belly.
"Arayyyy. Good ba yan? Hey wait. Okay ka na ba?"
I can't really believe a stranger would be concerned about my situation.
"Isn't it obvious?" I laughed.
"Eh... Last time..."
"What?"
"You just had a fever."
"Ohh. Kaya pala may chuva ka sa katawan ko. Sus. I'm fine! Anyway, kain tayo," I grinned and went to the kitchen.
I really feel energetic today. Ewan ko ba. Baka nakasagap lang ako ng "love" bacteria.
And speaking of that love thingy. I think I should really open my heart to somebody. Yes. I swear not to mention HIS name again. I'm thinking, sino naman kaya? Sus.
I went upstairs to change clothes. I saw a picture of Prince and Me. Geez. Good old days. Besides, bata lang naman kami. Who cares about puppy love?
I went downstairs and saw my mother, "Good morning, anak.
"
"Yo, Ma."
"We have a family reunion. I think it's at 8pm."
"Tayo lang ni Biboy sasama?"
Yeah right. I want to take Kris with me, eh.
"Of course not. Alang-alang namang iwan natin yung FRIEND mo."
"Eh? Whatever ka. Sige, thank you."
"Since wala naman kayong pasok, why don't you get your stuffs in this shop?"
"For what naman?"
"Anong for what? You'll be wearing a gown. At ikaw Kris, I ordered the Tux for you. Oh my, that will look great."
Eeeh. Ambisyosa talaga nanay ko.
"Nako. Ano ba budget? Malay namin..."
"Budget? Gaah. Here's the credit card. And make sure the tux fits on Kris. If not, buy another one nalang."
Holy cow. The golden credit card was given to me. Holy cow talaga.
"How about Biboy?" Of course I would not forget my brother.
She walked closer and whispered, "I'll take care of it. Just enjoy the day with him."
I can't stop saying [i]Yeah Yo Yeah Yo[/i]. Masyado lang siguro akong naliligayahan.
And, masaya kasi I'm with Kris. Ang echos talaga ni mama. May gown pang nalalaman. Hmm. May prom kami, kaso naman. Ewan. Sana ala-prom din itong reunion na to.
[hr]
"O dito nalang. Iho, ingatan mo siya."
"Manong-"
Bigla niyang tinakpan yung bibig ko. UGH.
"Opo. Maaasahan."
Ayun yun eh. Umiiral na naman yung pagka-ambisyoso niya. Siguro bagay sila ni Mama. Parehong ambisyoso.
I entered the shop. I was like, HOLY COW. Kasi naman, ang gaganda ng mga gown. Maybe the tailor of the shop is really good. And hey, they have fair prices naman eh.
The purple gown... It so caught my attention. Ang cute naman kasi. :]
I turned around and saw the unexpected. BIANCA. Ugh. Whenever I see her, ewan ko ba, I feel like I want to slap her in front of Kris. Hindi ba pwedeng kami na lang dalawa ang mag-sama sa day na to? Konting freedom naman no. Bakit ba palagi nalang siyang sumusulpot? Err.
I immediately grabbed that purple gown tapos hinatak ko si Kris sa ibeng direction. I don't want her to seduce Kris. Hmp, ayos ba?
"Oh, that's a pretty gown. I think that's the best for you," he said and gave me an assuring smile.
"Thanks. You should try to wear yours, too."
So, we went to the fitting room. No, not 'we', kasi hindi pala kami magsasama sa iisang block.
I placed the gown, and it wasn't that big and wasn't that tight. It's just the right 'thing' for me. When I got out, I saw him with his long black tux. Damn. He's so hot. -___- Hindi naman sa dahil may gusto ako sa kanya. I mean, if you girls would look at him, you would really think he's hot.
"What are you staring at? I know, right? I'm handsome."
"I think so," I admitted shyly.
"Nakisakay ka naman.
But anyway, how should I walk you? I mean, I don't remember doing something like this before."
I held his hand and guided him, "Yan. Ganyan lang. Slow and easy steps."
"Aba, ikakasal ba kayo? Kung oo, dapat yung white na gown nalang ang piliin mo."
Pati ba naman yung may-ari ng shop makiki-epal? Kasal daw. Pero infairness. Parang ayaw tumanggi ng lola niyo.
"Naku, hindi po kasi-"
Bigla niyang tinakpan yung bibig ko. Iba din trip niya no?
"Next five years po, ate. Invited ka." He smiled and winked at me.
Ayan na naman ang pagka-ambisyoso niya.
Katapos nun, binili na namin yung mga kailangan namin. Yeah right, kill the credit card. Sandals, shoes, slacks, gowns, stockings, etc. etc. When we arrived at home, nagsi-bihis na kami. I headed to my mother's room para magpa-make up. Truth to be told, it's embarrassing na sa age kong to, hindi pa rin ako marunong maglagay ng sarili kong make up. Besides, I'm not that type of girl naman kasi. And, it's prohibited in school zones.
"Oh well. My daughter is really beautiful."
"Fault of the mother," I jokingly said.
"Ano kaya sasabihin ng dad mo? I think he'll be happy," she said in her most nonchalant tone of voice.
I hate it when she brings this topic.
Bad memories just flash in my head.
"Change topic. Ma, apply this na."
"Oh yeah. I almost forgot," she laughed, "By the way, about prince..."
"Change the topic again."
"I'm really sorry. I was supposed to tell it to you, kaso, natatakot lang ako sa reaction mo."
"Aww. It's alright. I switched roads."
What I meant was, I'm now taking the right path... I hope.
"You what, anak? I think Kris will do."
"Eh? Ang kulit mo."
And we talked a lot, katapos ng make-up thingy, which really annoyed me, I went downstairs and killed the remaining minutes by playing X-Box with Biboy.
Then I noticed Kris.
"Clariane?"
I turned around and saw him... I told you, he's really hot. I almost dropped my jaw in amazement. Dang. Bakit ba 'hot' yung sinasabi ko? Hindi naman ako flirt. -__-
"Y-Yes?"
"How do I look?"
"You look," I paused... trying to say the right word, "Handsome."
"Thank you. Just as I expected," he grinned and then he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You're beautiful."
I felt the sudden 'blood rush' in my veins when he whispered those words in my ear. He's making it too easy. I guess... I'm totally in love with this guy.
"By the way, Miss Clariane Montolla...?"
He gave his hand.
"S-Sure," I said shyly. How can someone like him be a gentleman? I must be dreaming. I can't believe this is happening. Someone should definitely slap me.
My heart raced fast. I know... something weird is going to happen.
"Clariane?"
"What?"
[i]"Would you let me love you??"[/i]
