Chapter 13 | Vulnerable
Earlier this morning, I received a text from Kurt. He informed me that he already arrived in our store and that the research boys were there with him as well.
The weather cooperated today as if the sky didn't cry last night. The sun was up the moment I prepared myself. I kept on checking my outfit in front of the human sized mirror. There was nothing special or different on my clothes, but I couldn't help but to feel anxious.
Wala namang surprising sa suot ko, plain rust orange t-shirt lang na naka-tuck in sa aking high waist maong shorts, then a pair of black FILA shoes to complete my look. Siguro naman hindi na ako mababastos sa ganito, 'no?
For the last time, I checked myself in front of the mirror. I persua

Chapter 14 | Difficult "Para namang hindi mo ako kaibigan, Ian!" Kung may option lang talaga akong hindi makinig kay Kurt ay matagal ko na iyong ni-activate. Kahapon pa niya ako kinukulit na magkwento tungkol sa "bonding" daw namin ni Marcus dahil parang bigla kaming naging close pagdating sa karinderya. Sinabi ko naman sa kanyang tiningnan lang namin 'yong bahay at kumain kami sabay ng breakfast pero hindi ko na ibinahagi pa ang parteng niyakap ko siya. Hindi naman lahat ng bagay ay kailangan kong sabihin kay Kurt pero napaka-persistent niya lang talaga as a chismosa. "Nakwento ko na sa 'yo, ha? Iyon lang naman ang nangyari," iritado kong sabi.

Chapter 15 | Boyfriend Tulad lamang ng nakaraang araw ang kaganapan ngayong Sabado. Sinimulan namin ang araw sa pagbubukas ng karinderya at pag-aayos ng mga lamesa. Bumalik na sa trabaho si Nay Feran kaya siya ang nagluto ng mga paninda habang kami naman ni Kurt ang naghanda ng mga plato. Pansin ko nga sa research boys ay para bang nasanay na sila rito sa amin. Hindi ko na kailangan pang sabihan sila oras-oras sa mga dapat gawin, mabilis silang natuto at naka-adapt sa sistema namin kaya naman ay walang hirap din sila sa kanilang ginagawa. Masaya rin silang kasama lalo na tuwing break time at kumakain kaming lahat ng sabay. Marami kaming nakuhang impormasyon tungkol sa kanilang kurso at mga kwentong umiikot sa kanilang buhay kaya n

Chapter 16 | Consider"Anong gagawin ko ngayon, Kurt?""Malay ko sa 'yo!""Putangina, seryoso kasi!""Ako ba ang nagpabuhat at na-picture-an? Hindi naman?"I frustratingly groaned that my throat almost got scratched. Sumakto pang kumirot muli ang isang parte ng aking ulo dulot ng hangover kaya pabagsak akong umupo sa gilid ng kama.Kanina pa ako gising, nakapag-almusal at nakaligo na rin nang nalaman ko mula kay Kurt na ako na ang usapan sa unibersidad.Maraming friends si Kurt sa Facebook na batch mate namin kaya kahit sobrang layo ng post ay napadpad sa news feed niya. Hiniling k

Chapter 17 | CarEveryone was confused as fuck. They obviously wanted answers from both of us but they were probably too anxious to ask either one of us.Their eyes kept looking at me and then back to Marcus. I wasn't sure if Marcus already told them what we talked about... but maybe he didn't.The day went awkwardly and the silence every time Marcus and I would cross paths was overly dramatic. Their fake coughs and deep sighs made me uncomfortable too.The thing that Marcus told me about her mother and childhood kept repeating inside my head like a boomerang. I asked myself if my decision was really selfish to offend him that much.I knew he had feelings for me, but he also said to

Chapter 18 | KnowI almost forgot to text my father because Kurt got me frustrated to the core. My fingers were shaking as I typed a short message to my father saying that we were now close to Kurt's house.I couldn't exactly describe my feelings, I was nervous about whatever Kurt planned to do.Pinagkatiwalaan ko si Kurt sa lahat ng mga sikreto ko pero hindi ko kayang pagkatiwalaan ang mga ideya niyang ganito. Sa ngisi niya pa lang ay halata ko ng may masamang balak 'tong kaibigan ko.Sa dami ng taong pwede niyang paki-usapan na sunduin kami ay bakit si Marcus pa? Halata mo talagang sinadya kahit saan mo tingnan... at ito namang si Marcus, akala ko ba'y pang-business lang iyong numerong niya kay Kurt?

Chapter 19 | Fear"Naks, blooming," halakhak ni Kurt nang nakita niya akong bumaba mula sa ikalawang palapag ng kanilang upahan.Pinilit kong magseryoso ngunit nakatakas pa rin ang aking ngiti.Tulad ng mga nagdaang araw ay sabay kami ni Kurt pumunta sa karinderya. Maliwanag na ang langit hudyat ng panibagong araw. Hindi ko nga lang mawari kung bakit tila ba mas magaan na ang aking loob kaninang paggising na kahit pa siguro tuksuhin ako ni Kurt buong magdamag ay hindi ako maiinis."We?" tukso pa niya at siniko ang kaliwa kong braso, "hindi ka pa nagkukwento sa 'kin tungkol sa nangyari kahapon.""Tulad ng sinabi mo, mag-usap kami, kaya nag-usap kami.""Sus, Ian! Sa tagal kitang kai
Lover of Mine Chapter 20
Chapter 20 | Favor When I was younger, I was prone to letting things slip. It was simple for me to disregard things, no matter how wrong they seemed, because no one ever spoke out against it in our household. They claimed it was a form of discipline, and most family households had inherited it as well... but even as a child, I sensed deep down that violence wasn't right. I couldn't recall everything, but the emotion I experienced every time my mother yelled furiously at us lingered in my soul like a deep untreated scar. The only thing I hoped for before was for it to end as quickly as possible. I didn't pay attention to her statements, and I couldn't digest anything anyway since fear consumed my system. My sister definitely had it worse. Unlike me, she experienced physical harm and it would always happen whenever

Chapter 21 | GoEven after a few seconds had transpired, none of the three of us began to talk. I sensed that they were still shocked by my presence since they didn't see me coming earlier. The cool December breeze hit our skin, making me feel slightly uncomfortably cold. When I got outside, I was literally dressed in an oversized white shirt and knee-length shorts. The weather was irritating me, and the fact that these two refused to speak irritated me more.Kurt blinked repeatedly, while Marcus remained still. I grew impatient with waiting so I asked again, “Hello? Magsasalita ba kayo o ano?”“Wait lang, nagulat kasi ako,” Kurt hissed, “pero ie-explain ko sa ‘yo mamaya. Aalis na kasi sila Marcus.”“Okay,&rdquo
