All Chapters of Yes, No, Maybe: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

He held her hand and they walked away, laughing at something. My eyes followed them as they are finally out of my sight. I bit my lower lip, trying not to let a single tear drop. I can't leave like this. Uuwi lang ako tapos magmumokmok sa sa aking silid. I don't want another phase of me balling in tears. I have to do something!Kinuha ko 'yung phone ko at tiningnan 'yung oras. I don't have any appointments today kaya pwede akong manatili. I dialed Dad's number. I should ask permission na mananatili ako. He will understand and probably mas ikakagusto pa niya. He always wanted me to introduce to his friends. Ngayong wala na akong pinagtataguan, maybe it's time for them to know me.Nakailang rings na ako pero hindi pa rin sinagot ni Daddy. Hindi ba niya dala 'yung phone niya? I dialed again but to no avail. I frowned and stared at my phone. Bahala na. Saka ko nalang sasabihin kapag nakita ko siya.I pulled the key out of its keyhole and stepped out of the car. Tiningnan ko muna 'yung ref

I stared back at him as he slightly grip my thigh tightly. What's his problem? Buti nalang busy sa pag-uusap sina Dad. Hindi nila napansin 'yung mainit naming titigan ni Timothee. I don't know about Pierre and Scarlet. They didn't bother us naman siguro hindi din nila napansin.Halos marinig ko 'yung tibok ng puso ko. It seems like it wants to break free from its cage. Nakahawak si Timothee sa aking hita while locking his eyes unto mine. I would surely melt for I miss him. Kay tagal ko na siyang gustong makita, mayakap, at mahalikan. Ngayong nasa harap ko na siya ay pinipigilan ko lang ang sarili kong gawin ang mga 'yun."What?" I asked after swallowing hard."Let's talk," he firmly whispered.I sighed. Tama siya. Nasa tamang oras na siguro kaming mag-uusap. It would be my perfect time to ask forgiveness in person which I haven't done in so long. "Okay," I nodded.Una akong umiwas ng tingin, inabot 'yung tubig at uminom. Nagulat nalang ako nang biglang kunin ni Timothee 'yung atensyo

Hinayaan ko si Timothee na dalhin ako kahit saan. The cramp already subsided but I didn't bother telling him. Tutal hindi naman siya makikinig sa akin. I told him already to put me down but he will always say no firmly.Buti nalang gabi na. Wala nang masyadong tao. I saw a closed door from afar and it seems to me that that is where we are going. Hindi ako nagkamali, he approached the door and opened it without even putting me down. He carried me until we reached a wooden chair at saka niya ako pinaupo dun. He didn't say a word. Tinalikuran niya ako and reached for the cabinet. Kumuha siya ng boxers and a t-shirt before handing them to me."Get dressed," utos niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko. "I can use my clothes. Pwede akong magbihis sa suite--""Ava, please?" He sighed. "Magbihis ka na bago ka pa magkasakit."He's looking at me as if telling me to do it. He's trying to convince me. Left with no other options, tumayo na ako at tinungo 'yung comfort room. It didn't took long for me to chan

There is no open restaurants nearby. Timothee wanted us to have a date in an expensive place pero kahit ni isa ay walang open. He's frowning while driving. "We can go back naman," I suggested. Siguro no restaurant day ngayon," I joked."May ganun ba?" Inis niyang tanong. "Sa lahat ng araw para magsara bakit ngayon pa kung kailan nililigawan na kita?"Napangiti ako. "It's fine, Timothee."He really did thought of something big. Nililigawan pa lang niya ako ay willing na siyang gumasto para sa akin. I appreciate that pero kahit sa simpleng bagay ay masaya ako basta kasama ko lang siya."I should have prepared more. Dapat inalam ko muna kung anong restaurant ang open," nguso niya.Napailing nalang ako. Isang bagay na napansin ko kay Timothee ay may pagka-perfectionist siya. If things don't go according to plan, he'll start being hard on himself. Hindi na niya tinatantanan 'yung sarili."You really want us to go out?" I asked.He nodded. "Yes! I want us to eat somewhere and bond!""Place

I bit my lip as I dialed Timothee's number. Alam kong magugulat siya o maguguluhan kapag sinabi kong dito nalang siya maghapunan. Hindi naman nagtagal ay sinagot na ni Timothee yung tawag."What took you so long to call me?" Bungad niya.Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ngayon alam kong nakanguso siya."Unexpected things happen," I smiled kahit hindi naman niya kita."Nakausap mo na Daddy mo?" Tanong niya. "Is everything okay?"Umiling ako. "Hindi. Hindi ko nakausap si Daddy." I paused. "Ano, Timothee. Kumain ka na ba?""Hindi pa ako kumain. Bababa na sana para kumain," he chuckled. "Concern ka sa akin no?""Sira!" I giggled. "I'm inviting you kase. Dito ka na kumain."There was a long pause. Paniguradong naguguluhan siya sa biglaan kong pagkasabi. If he'd ask me the same, panigurdong maguguluhan din ako."What's the occassion?" Tanong niya.I sighed. "Gusto kang makilala nina Mommy. Dad told them that I had a date with you kaya ganun nalang sila ka-curious sa'yo."I'm gonna meet your fam
