Re: [b]I'm back guys. :D Finally. I'll be using a reader's story. Oo, yung nagpapasa ako dati? I promised to use them right? And here it is. [/b]

Bestfriend
[b]* 6[/b]

TOPHER’s POV:[/b]
From the time I told her I’ll marry her, I knew what was gonna happen. About our limits, the image I got to protect, at siya rin. Ang best friend ko.
Alam ko, hindi man obvious sa kilos at pananalita ko,
I love Dette very much.. As a friend of course.
I only think that showing too much care will be a weakness.
The day for the wedding, I admit, nag inom ako that night. I was really nervous and thinking kung sigurado na ba ako sa papasukin ko.
Dette is a good girl. I always tease her at alam kong minsan sumusobra ako, but I’m too weak to say I’m sorry. At uulitin ko pa yun.
I freaking love girls.
I admit, playboy ako masyado. Para akong nagpapalit ng damit pag pumili ng babae, pero iba na siguro ngayon. I’m trying to change because I know, kahit naman hindi nasasaktan si Dette dahil wala naman siyang feelings sakin, I need to respect her.
But adjusting within a day is not enough.
I loved teasing her all the way, calling her a post because she has no curve, but I know she’s attractive in her own way.
Nung college and highschool kami, alam ko marami rin siyang nangarap na suitors, but because of unknown reason, wala siyang binigyan ng pag-asa ni isa.
And I was secretly glad.
Fvck I was feeling crazy as I thought about losing my best friend who is always there for me.
Pero hanggang dun lang.
Ayoko nang magkarun pa ng ibang rason at malisya.
Ngayon, it is our honeymoon, as I entered the club, nakalimutan ko na agad na kasama ko si Dette.
Too insensitive and all noh?
I started socializing with all the girls and guys inside. I was already losing control.
Then suddenly nagkagulo na.
TING!
SI DETTE!
Hinatak ko kagad siya bigla. Sinapak niya yung lalaki, I was panicking and was embarrassed at the same time.
“Anung nangyari?!”
“That guy piched my butt!”
Pagkarinig ko, hindi ko alam kung paano mag rereak. I was like surprised, angry and was feeling silly.
“Serious? Grabe naman yun. May nakaisip pa palang babae ka.” The words came out of the blue. I feel such and idiot for saying that, seriously, kaso wala nang bawian. Andun na eh.
Then suddenly, I saw her teardrops falling.
“D-Dette?” I muttered, pakiramdam ko ang sama ko. This is the first time she ever cried because of my words.
Nasobrahan ba talaga?
“Tama na, Topher. Sobra na.” She mumbled. “I’ve always told you to stop making me feel like this, to stop calling me man or anything. Kasal na tayo, Topher. Is it that not enough reason to treat me how I need to be treated?”
“Dette..”
Wala na akong masabi pa.
“You just left me there inside tapos may kasama ka nang iba? Respeto naman.”
I was feeling silly again. Bakit ganito? This is weird. Nagiguilty ako, but I am a man of pride, and I fvcking hate that I’m saying this:
“What do you mean, Dette? Alam mo naman di ba? You and I.. Wala naman talagang dapat mamagitan satin e. We’re doing this for the sake of business. We’re just best friends.”
YEAH. We’re JUST best friends. Wala nang iba.
“R-Right, tama ka Topher.”
She looked at me.
“You can do whatever you want and so as I. Just like before, yun nga lang, we have to protect our images for the sake of our parents and the business. To avoid scandals.”
She smiled at me.
“.. Because we’re just best friends.”
I was partly hurt, masakit pala pag siya yung nagsabi.. And I don’t understand.

[b]DETTE’s POV:[/b]
I was brushing my teeth habang nakatingin sa sarili ko sa salamin. I’m feeling so lonely pa rin. TSK.
I looked at my hand. The wedding ring doesn’t mean a thing, pero sobrang labag sa kalooban ko ang hubarin ‘to. For me, this is the only thing that proves me that I somehow ‘own’ him; in a way.
I went out from the CR at naupo ako sa kama. I sighed then I lied down.
Then suddenly, an arm hit my face. ERR.
Napaupo ako.
“Ano ba yan!” I pushed him hard at nahulog siya sa baba. Tumunog.
“A-Aray naman!” He complained tapos tumayo at tumingin sakin na nagtataka. “Bakit nandito ka?” He asked me.
I leered at him, tapos nasapo niya yung noo niya.
“Oo nga pala.”
I sat again sa kama.
“O, bakit dito ka hihiga?” He asked me.
“Bakit may iba pa bang kama dito?” sagot ko nga.
“Dun ka sa baba.” He told me.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay and showed him my clenched fist.
“Gusto mong tumama ‘to sa mukha mo at bumakat habang buhay?” I threatened him.
He clicked his tongue.
“Hindi tayo pwedeng magtabi.” He declared.
Nagulat ako.
“Para naming first time ‘to.” I answered him and hugged a pillow.
“You told me na you don’t want me to treat you like a man di ba?”
He showed me his clenched fist too.
“Bato-bato pik.”
--
“BATO-BATO PIK!” sabi naming dalawa, pero dang. Natalo ako.
“O, sa couch ka matulog.” He told me.
“T-Teka, sabi mo babae na ang turing mo sakin.”
Ngumiti siya na parang aso. Yung nakakaloko.
“Anong babae?”
--
He threw a pillow and a blanket to me.
“Sleep well, Honey.” He said tapos umalis.
GRR. Pang asar talaga to si Topher bata pa lang kami. Bad trip!
He told me na hindi na raw lalaki ang turing niya sakin, at lalong hindi babae.
PET DAW.
Tsk. Nagtataka kayo kung bakit ko siya minahal? Ako rin eh.
I lied down on the couch, buti na lang, maiksi ako.
BUTI NA LANG TALAGA. Kasya kasi ako, haaay.
I stared at the ceiling, malamig kasi aircon.
ANOTHER BUTI NA LANG TALAGA.
Pasalamat talaga siya hindi ako magaling sa bato-bato pik. Ewan ko ba, kahit anong pilit kong gawing gunting yung sa kamay ko, napapabato ako. At ayun, e di talo kasi siya yung papel. GRR.
Dumapa ako tapos sinilip ko siya, he was looking at me.
“Matulog ka na.” He mouthed, pero walang tunog.
“Ikaw rin.” I replied tapos bumalik na ako sa pagkakahiga. So he was watching me dito? TSK. Pang asar talaga siya.

Nakauwi na kami sa bahay after ilang araw. It was okay naman, balik kami sa dati. Yung best friends thing, pero it never happened na iniwan niya ako, which was great.
Pag uwi namin, may sumalubong na saming house keys. YEAH. Binilhan kami ng bahay not too far from our parents’. Sa next subdivision siguro.
Nalipat na rin ang lahat ng gamit. Ayos na ang kwarto naming dalawa, and yeah. Sa iisang kwarto kami, but things will be fine.
Nag usap na kaming dalawa.
I’m transferring my room.
Nakakagulat din kasi may isang kwarto run na pambata.
Kinilabutan kami ni Topher.
I’m currently lying down on my bed.
Nakatitig ulit sa kisame.

Tomorrow will be the first day he and I will be living in one house.[/i]
