[thegreatliamorbida]

"Psh." He rolled his eyes playfully as she defended her deed. "It was a kiss kaya. Our lips pressed and then moved so therefore, kiss yun." He winked at her and chuckled. "Buti naman ako pa rin ang gusto mo, mutual tayo eh. Nakakanerbyos yung Nanny mo, alam mo yun? Pero sana okay na siya sa akin ngayon. Alam mo bang muntik na akong mapaamin sa’yo ng di oras nun? Mag-a-I Love You na ako buti lang nabawi ko. Pero ngayon, totoo na at wala nang bawian: I love you." He smiled sweetly at her.

[theasquared]

She rolled her eyes playfully, “Fine. Ayaw magpatalo kinikilig naman.” Ava nodded and laughed at what he said, “Parang mom ko na rin kasi siya. Siya nag-alaga sa akin since laging wala sila mommy. Pero okay na yun sayo, nakuha mo siya nung nagdala ka ng orchids. Gustong gusto niya yun eh.” She reminisced, grinning at the nervous Liam handing the plant to her nanny. She looked up to him and smiled as well “I love you too.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He grinned at her. “Yes, kinilig ako.” He chuckled and hugged her tighter. “Ah, kaya pala. Well, maybe she likes me na because your parents does na, diba?” He smiled at her. “Kidding. But really, I’m hoping they like me already. Para wala na tayong dapat i-worry.” He laughed at the thought of him handling the plant to her nanny, but he shrugged it aside, instead he stared at her for a moment and then he suddenly kissed her in the lips.

[theasquared]

She was about to point out that staring was rude when she felt his lips on hers. Her eyes automatically closed as she started to kiss him back, a hand cupping his cheek and her thumb gently caressing it.

[thegreatliamorbida]

They kissed — a gentle, loving one — for a few seconds then he pulled away. “I missed you. I love you. I always have and I always will.” He whispered softly then kissed her forehead. “Mahal na mahal kita Ava.”

[theasquared]

Her eyes remained close when he pressed his lips on her forehead. "Mahal na mahal din kita Liam." She whispered and hugged him tighter, pressing her body closer to his.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Okay ako na late. Manigong Bagong Taon! Maligo sa Bagong Taon!!!

[theasquared]

Hindi ako naligo. Malamig kasi.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Ah okay. Nagheater ka sana.

[theasquared]

“Grabe naman. Kanina ang sweet pa lang sa text eh.” Her brows furrowed in confusion.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He scoffed and whispered so low. “Edi dun ka sa text ko. Yun lang pala gusto mo eh.”

[theasquared]

“Ha? ‘Di ko narinig masyado.” She asked amd took a step closer to him.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed. “Wala. Matulog ka na, it’s late already.” He said, laying his head back on the sofa of the common room.

[theasquared]

She hesitated but she sat on the couch near the one he was in. “Uy, naaalala mo ba yung New Year last year?” She asked, trying to start a conversation.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He was taken aback with Ava’s question, but he tried his best not to make her notice by keeping his attention on his phone. How could he forget that time? That was the time where they met each other’s family — the time when everything was still okay and in place. “Yeah. Pero inaantok na ako eh. Ayoko nang pag-usapan yun.”

[theasquared]

“Ah. Okay. Matulog ka na.” She whispered, an obvious frown on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door. “Just so you know, nag-usap lang kami. Nandun din sila Kris at Dhon, kahit itanong mo pa sakanila.” She said and went to her room.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He quickly stood up when she left but stopped at the door of the common room and spoke before she can go any further. “I don’t really care if nag-usap lang kayo or what. It’s fine, kahit kanino ka makapag-usap. Hindi naman kita mapipigilan eh. I’m just your boyfriend. Nothing more. But just so you know too„ I’ve been waiting for you this morning but I never saw you.”

[theasquared]

She turned around, irritated “Anong gusto mong palabasin? Gosh, eh di sana nagtext ka. You’re always waiting, it wouldn’t hurt kung mag-exert ka ng konting effort.” She looked at him, a little bit offended, “By the way, I was on skype with my parents.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed and his voice lowered but he made sure she can still hear him. “Nothing. I was expecting you to come by my room kasi eh. I wanted to be with you, gusto kong masolo ka kasi alam kong wala ang roommates ko because of booze or partying till morning. Akala ko babalikan mo ako because you went to me nung nag-12 na at ginising-gising mo pa ako.” He bit his lip and stood there with hands on his short’s pocket. “Good for you, nakausap mo na SILA….let’s drop this. Happy New Year.” He said and made his way to his room, giving her a kiss in the forehead then walked past through her.

[theasquared]

Ava sighed and resigned to her room as well. She sat on her bed, holding a glass canister full of colored papers. It was not a secret that Ava likes to do sweet little surprises for Liam during special occasions. She exited her room and headed for his, wondering if he ever thought of coming to her, if he was now asleep or if he was still waiting for her.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Liam felt sorry for his actions, maybe he was just over-reacting or what. But he cannot blame himself for getting jealous — Kenjie had proclaimed love for Ava eversince and maybe, just maybe, he’s still in love with her. ‘But Kenj has Soph now and they’re really in love.’ His subconscious ringed to him. Liam then slapped his forehead, and decided that he was just over-reacting. He grabbed the box that was sitting on his drawer for months now, it was meant to be his anniversary gift for Ava, but then he didn’t have the chance to give it to her since they were too busy. The box contained a magic rose that turns its color by the holder’s mood and never withers. He stood up and fixed himself, deciding to go to her room, but was surprised when he saw her heading to his room too.

[theasquared]

Ava gasped when he saw Liam going towards her direction but she still took small steps until they met halfway. She held the sleeve of his hoodie between her fingers while the other one was holding the canister. “I…hindi ako nakapunta sayo kasi tinapos ko pa ito.” She explained and gave it to Liam. Written on the papers were the memories they shared throughout their relationship. Ava wanted to remind him as well as to let him know that there are still a lot to experience and she wanted him to be with her all the time. “Happy New Year.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He bit his lip as she explained. She looked at her and took the canister from her. “Here…i-it was supposed to be my anniversary gift to you. But since we’re too busy…uhh ito na lang yung ibibigay ko ngayon.” He smiled a bit and scratched his nape. “Pagpasensyahan mo na.” He chuckled and looked at her, then suddenly pulled her in for a hug. “I’m sorry. Happy New Year, bossing.”

[theasquared]

Ava hugged him back and nuzzled her head on his shoulder, taking in his scent. “I forgive you.” She whispered and kissed his cheek. “Pero napakaseloso mo talaga.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Hmm. Sorry…mahal na mahal lang talaga kasi kita." He said, smiling. He then turned his head from left to right to see if there is no one around. He whispered to her when he made sure the area was clean. "Let’s go inside. Dun mo na yan i-open. Wala pa naman roommates ko." He smiled and let her inside the room.

[theasquared]

Chance obediently went inside his room and sat on his bed. “Ano ba laman nito?” She asked and shook the box lightly near her ear. “Boss, m-mamaya mo na lang yan basahin. Nahihiya ako eh.” She mumbled while opening the lid. She gasped at the single, most perfect white rose she have ever seen in her life. She took it with her hand and smelled its petals but she was shocked when it glowed red from her touch. “H-huh? Pano?”

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Eh, dapat buksan ko rin to. Binuksan mo na yung gift ko sa’yo eh." He smiled and opened the lid of the canister. He noticed that the papers had something scribbled on it using black ink. "Wow, ang effort naman nito, Boss. Hmmm," he picked up a paper and opened it, then read it. "Do you remember when you kidnapped me that one midnight? I thought you were bored, because I am, so I gave it a go. But the thing you did surprised me. You amazed me with that promise ring, and that mock wedding. And even though it’s just a mock one, we both made promises to make it come true. I’m looking forward to fulfill it with you, Boss. I really do." He smiled as he read the note and pulled her in for a side-hug. "Nakakakilig naman to!" He laughed. "I’m looking forward to fulfill it with you, too." He kissed her temple, the smile on his face can’t be removed. He then explained to her his gift. "That’s a magic rose. That’s not a real one but by its look, parang totoo talaga. That changes its color based sa mood ng humahawak sa kanya, or depende sa weather pag nakadisplay lang siya out of its box. When it’s on its box kasi, it stays white. Red, red yung naging kulay kasi…" He took the box and read something from the back. "Red kasi in love ka?" He smiled. "Uy, in love siya. Sa akin siguro." He teased.

[theasquared]

Chance blushed as he read her note aloud. She got a pillow and hit him on the shoulder lightly. “Sabing nahihiya ako eh.” She pouted but her lips then curved into one of beautiful smiles as he explained his gift. “Ay, ang bongga naman. Walang sinabi gift ko.” She chuckled and laid her head on his shoulder. “Siguro nga. Wala kasi akong ibang choice.” She teased.

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Psh. Ngayon ka pa nahiya? Eh nung sinusukahan mo ako kapag napaparami yung inom mo nun, hindi ka nahihiya." He chuckled. "Joke lang. Wag ka nang mahiya. Gusto ko naman eh." He faced her and traced her features, his free hand holding hers tightly, remaining silent. "Kahit ano pa yang gift mo, isa sa mga pinakamagandang gift pa rin yan para sa akin. Kasi alam ko kasama niyan ang puso mo," he pointed her heart, "at ang buong pagkatao mo." He smiled and hugged her. "Ay sus. Kahit naman may choices ako pa rin ang pipiliin mo. Aminin mo na kasi." He chuckled and laid his back down while hugging her, so he was laying on his back with Ava on top of him.

[theasquared]

“Thank you kasi naaappreciate mo yung mga ginagawa ko para sayo.” She smiled and put the flower on its box and put it away safely. She giggled as he pulled her on top of him. “Ayun naman pala eh. Alam mo naman. Kaya wag ka ng magseselos kasi I’d always choose you.” She leaned up and kiss his chin. “Boss? Totoo ba yun? Yung pinost mo dati na I kissed you nung nalasing ako kahit break tayo?”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He just smiled at her and put some stray strands of hair off her face. “You’re always welcome, boss.” He smiled and pressed her more to him by hugging him tighter. “Promise yan ha? I’m counting on that.” He grinned, closing his eyes as her lips pressed on his chin. “Sus. Ba’t di na lang lips ko ang kiniss mo? Mas nakakakilig yun.” He teased and chuckled. “Sa tingin mo ipopost ko yun kung hindi totoo? Totoo yun. Nagulat nga ako eh. Pero syempre hindi na muna ako umasa dun kasi lasing ka nun at frenemies pa tayo.”

[theasquared]

“Oo nga. Kulet. May promise ring na nga tayo oh.” She raised her hand to show him the ring and leaned up to kiss his chin again. “Hindi ko abot eh. Tsaka hindi ako marunong magkiss.” She teased him with a soft chuckle. She shifted her position so she could look at him while she was laying on his chest. “Malay ko ba kung nangtitrip ka lang at nagpapapansin. Ano bang ginawa mo nung kiniss kita?” She asked curiously.

[thegreatliamorbida]

"I know! Thank you." He smiles then reached out to gently bite her hand when she showed him her promise ring, and rubbed it to take away the pain. He chuckled at what she said about kissing. "Talaga? Kaya pala nung prom night, kakaupo ko pa lang, kiniss mo na agad ako." He grinned at the thought. He looked at her as she shifted her position and waited for her to settle down. "Nakalimutan mo yata na ako ang pinapansin nung high school pa tayo eh." He laughed. "Well, umiyak ako. Kinuha mo yung virginity ng lips ko eh!" He cried mockingly. "Joke lang. Wala lang, kinilig. Alangan namang magwala ako sa kwarto mo diba? Nakakatakot pa naman ang nanny mo. Kala mo kriminal akong pinandidilatan ng mata. Tch." He said.

[theasquared]

Chance squinted her eyes. "Hindi yun kiss. It was a peck. Iba yun." She defended. "Ay ang arte mo naman. Buti nga ikaw ang kiniss ko eh. Kahit lasing ako ikaw pa rin yung gusto ko. Ay oo, sabi niya may lakaki raw naghatid sa akin pauwi tapos nagtataka sya kung bakit namumula yung mukha paglabas ng kwarto ko kaya tinatarayan ka nun." She added with a laugh.

[thegreatliamorbida]

But since we’re too busy…uhh ito na lang yung ibibigay ko ngayon.” He smiled a bit and scratched his nape. “Pagpasensyahan mo na.” He chuckled and looked at her, then suddenly pulled her in for a hug. “I’m sorry. Happy New Year, bossing.”

[theasquared]

Ava hugged him back and nuzzled her head on his shoulder, taking in his scent. “I forgive you.” She whispered and kissed his cheek. “Pero napakaseloso mo talaga.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Hmm. Sorry…mahal na mahal lang talaga kasi kita." He said, smiling. He then turned his head from left to right to see if there is no one around. He whispered to her when he made sure the area was clean. "Let’s go inside. Dun mo na yan i-open. Wala pa naman roommates ko." He smiled and let her inside the room.

[theasquared]

Chance obediently went inside his room and sat on his bed. “Ano ba laman nito?” She asked and shook the box lightly near her ear. “Boss, m-mamaya mo na lang yan basahin. Nahihiya ako eh.” She mumbled while opening the lid. She gasped at the single, most perfect white rose she have ever seen in her life. She took it with her hand and smelled its petals but she was shocked when it glowed red from her touch. “H-huh? Pano?”

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Eh, dapat buksan ko rin to. Binuksan mo na yung gift ko sa’yo eh." He smiled and opened the lid of the canister. He noticed that the papers had something scribbled on it using black ink. "Wow, ang effort naman nito, Boss. Hmmm," he picked up a paper and opened it, then read it. "Do you remember when you kidnapped me that one midnight? I thought you were bored, because I am, so I gave it a go. But the thing you did surprised me. You amazed me with that promise ring, and that mock wedding. And even though it’s just a mock one, we both made promises to make it come true. I’m looking forward to fulfill it with you, Boss. I really do." He smiled as he read the note and pulled her in for a side-hug. "Nakakakilig naman to!" He laughed. "I’m looking forward to fulfill it with you, too." He kissed her temple, the smile on his face can’t be removed. He then explained to her his gift. "That’s a magic rose. That’s not a real one but by its look, parang totoo talaga. That changes its color based sa mood ng humahawak sa kanya, or depende sa weather pag nakadisplay lang siya out of its box. When it’s on its box kasi, it stays white. Red, red yung naging kulay kasi…" He took the box and read something from the back. "Red kasi in love ka?" He smiled. "Uy, in love siya. Sa akin siguro." He teased.

[theasquared]

Chance blushed as he read her note aloud. She got a pillow and hit him on the shoulder lightly. “Sabing nahihiya ako eh.” She pouted but her lips then curved into one of beautiful smiles as he explained his gift. “Ay, ang bongga naman. Walang sinabi gift ko.” She chuckled and laid her head on his shoulder. “Siguro nga. Wala kasi akong ibang choice.” She teased.

[thegreatliamorbida]

"Psh. Ngayon ka pa nahiya? Eh nung sinusukahan mo ako kapag napaparami yung inom mo nun, hindi ka nahihiya." He chuckled. "Joke lang. Wag ka nang mahiya. Gusto ko naman eh." He faced her and traced her features, his free hand holding hers tightly, remaining silent. "Kahit ano pa yang gift mo, isa sa mga pinakamagandang gift pa rin yan para sa akin. Kasi alam ko kasama niyan ang puso mo," he pointed her heart, "at ang buong pagkatao mo." He smiled and hugged her. "Ay sus. Kahit naman may choices ako pa rin ang pipiliin mo. Aminin mo na kasi." He chuckled and laid his back down while hugging her, so he was laying on his back with Ava on top of him.

[theasquared]

"Thank you kasi naaappreciate mo yung mga ginagawa ko para sayo." She smiled and put the flower on its box and put it away safely. She giggled as he pulled her on top of him. "Ayun naman pala eh. Alam mo naman. Kaya wag ka ng magseselos kasi I'd always choose you." She leaned up and kiss his chin. "Boss? Totoo ba yun? Yung pinost mo dati na I kissed you nung nalasing ako kahit break tayo?"

[thegreatliamorbida]

Okay ako na late. Manigong Bagong Taon! Maligo sa Bagong Taon!!!

[theasquared]

Hindi ako naligo. Malamig kasi.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Ah okay. Nagheater ka sana.

[theasquared]

“Grabe naman. Kanina ang sweet pa lang sa text eh.” Her brows furrowed in confusion.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He scoffed and whispered so low. “Edi dun ka sa text ko. Yun lang pala gusto mo eh.”

[theasquared]

“Ha? ‘Di ko narinig masyado.” She asked amd took a step closer to him.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed. “Wala. Matulog ka na, it’s late already.” He said, laying his head back on the sofa of the common room.

[theasquared]

She hesitated but she sat on the couch near the one he was in. “Uy, naaalala mo ba yung New Year last year?” She asked, trying to start a conversation.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He was taken aback with Ava’s question, but he tried his best not to make her notice by keeping his attention on his phone. How could he forget that time? That was the time where they met each other’s family — the time when everything was still okay and in place. “Yeah. Pero inaantok na ako eh. Ayoko nang pag-usapan yun.”

[theasquared]

“Ah. Okay. Matulog ka na.” She whispered, an obvious frown on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door. “Just so you know, nag-usap lang kami. Nandun din sila Kris at Dhon, kahit itanong mo pa sakanila.” She said and went to her room.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He quickly stood up when she left but stopped at the door of the common room and spoke before she can go any further. “I don’t really care if nag-usap lang kayo or what. It’s fine, kahit kanino ka makapag-usap. Hindi naman kita mapipigilan eh. I’m just your boyfriend. Nothing more. But just so you know too„ I’ve been waiting for you this morning but I never saw you.”

[theasquared]

She turned around, irritated “Anong gusto mong palabasin? Gosh, eh di sana nagtext ka. You’re always waiting, it wouldn’t hurt kung mag-exert ka ng konting effort.” She looked at him, a little bit offended, “By the way, I was on skype with my parents.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed and his voice lowered but he made sure she can still hear him. “Nothing. I was expecting you to come by my room kasi eh. I wanted to be with you, gusto kong masolo ka kasi alam kong wala ang roommates ko because of booze or partying till morning. Akala ko babalikan mo ako because you went to me nung nag-12 na at ginising-gising mo pa ako.” He bit his lip and stood there with hands on his short’s pocket. “Good for you, nakausap mo na SILA….let’s drop this. Happy New Year.” He said and made his way to his room, giving her a kiss in the forehead then walked past through her.

[theasquared]

Ava sighed and resigned to her room as well. She sat on her bed, holding a glass canister full of colored papers. It was not a secret that Ava likes to do sweet little surprises for Liam during special occasions. She exited her room and headed for his, wondering if he ever thought of coming to her, if he was now asleep or if he was still waiting for her.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Liam felt sorry for his actions, maybe he was just over-reacting or what. But he cannot blame himself for getting jealous — Kenjie had proclaimed love for Ava eversince and maybe, just maybe, he’s still in love with her. ‘But Kenj has Soph now and they’re really in love.’ His subconscious ringed to him. Liam then slapped his forehead, and decided that he was just over-reacting. He grabbed the box that was sitting on his drawer for months now, it was meant to be his anniversary gift for Ava, but then he didn’t have the chance to give it to her since they were too busy. The box contained a magic rose that turns its color by the holder’s mood and never withers. He stood up and fixed himself, deciding to go to her room, but was surprised when he saw her heading to his room too.

[theasquared]

Ava gasped when he saw Liam going towards her direction but she still took small steps until they met halfway. She held the sleeve of his hoodie between her fingers while the other one was holding the canister. “I…hindi ako nakapunta sayo kasi tinapos ko pa ito.” She explained and gave it to Liam. Written on the papers were the memories they shared throughout their relationship. Ava wanted to remind him as well as to let him know that there are still a lot to experience and she wanted him to be with her all the time. “Happy New Year.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He bit his lip as she explained. She looked at her and took the canister from her. “Here…i-it was supposed to be my anniversary gift to you. But since we’re too busy…uhh ito na lang yung ibibigay ko ngayon.” He smiled a bit and scratched his nape. “Pagpasensyahan mo na.” He chuckled and looked at her, then suddenly pulled her in for a hug. “I’m sorry.

[theasquared]

[theasquared]

“Oh..” She whispered. “Pano kayo ng mga kapatid mo?”

[kenjievalenciano]

He tried topening his mouth to respond, but he doesn’t know what to say. “E-Ewan ko. Hindi ko pa sila natatawagan since… since we got here.”

[theasquared]

“Why?” She asked, debating whether she should go sit beside him or remain on her position. “Baka nag-aalala na sila.” She decided to do the latter.

[kenjievalenciano]

"May mas malalaking bagay naman silang dapat alalahanin eh," he said with a shrug.

[theasquared]

“Pero, I think you should deal with the issue together and that you need each other’s support.” Ava voiced out her opinions.

[kenjievalenciano]

"What if I don’t wanna deal with it?" he asked in a small voice, feeling guilt grow inside him.

[theasquared]

“Then you won’t be able to move on.” She replied in a soft voice.

[kenjievalenciano]

"Ayokong mag-move on," he said shaking his head. "Sa isip ko, perfect family pa’rin kami hanggang ngayon, at ang biggest problem namin ay kung saan maghahigh school ang kapatid ko ngayong wala na Westwood Academy."

[theasquared]

“Wala ako sa position para sabihin ito pero… you’re just running away from reality. Hindi ko alam kung gaano kasakit at kahirap pero sa tingin ko you’ll end up hurting more.” She looked at him apologetically for sticking her nose to his issues. “Kasi umaasa ka pa rin.”

[kenjievalenciano]

He shook his head repeatedly before forcing out a chuckle. “Of course umaasa parin ako. Bakit, should I think about who I’m gonna stay with kung sakaling… kung sakaling final na yun? Kung kay mama ba o kay papa? No.”

[theasquared]

Ava sighed and looked at his direction, “I know. Lahat naman tayo gusto ng perfect family. But you know, kahit hindi naman na sila mag-asawa they’ll never stop being your parents.”

[kenjievalenciano]

He stared disbelievingly at her before furrowing his brows. “Naririnig mo ba sarili mo ngayon? You’re telling me na okay lang maghiwalay mga magulang ko dahil nandyan pa din naman sila para sakin? Para sa mga kapatid ko? Na kahit itatapon nila ang 20 years of marriage nila dahil sa isang pagkakamali ni dad, magiging okay parin ang lahat? Well, I’m telling you, hindi Ava. Kasi kahit sa ngayon, na they’re still in the process of getting the papers ready, I feel like dying already araw-araw. So no, Ava. Hindi ‘to okay. Hindi kami magiging okay. Hindi ako magiging okay.”

[theasquared]

She was taken aback, her opinions fading in the background. "I'm sorry. Akala ko they were already.....you know." She blushed in embarrassment. She awkwardly transferred to his side and patted his shoulder. "I'm sorry." She whispered again not knowing what else to say at the moment.

[theasquared]

[theasquared]

“Oh..” She whispered. “Pano kayo ng mga kapatid mo?”

[kenjievalenciano]

He tried topening his mouth to respond, but he doesn’t know what to say. “E-Ewan ko. Hindi ko pa sila natatawagan since… since we got here.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

Ah okay. Nagheater ka sana.

[theasquared]

“Grabe naman. Kanina ang sweet pa lang sa text eh.” Her brows furrowed in confusion.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He scoffed and whispered so low. “Edi dun ka sa text ko. Yun lang pala gusto mo eh.”

[theasquared]

“Ha? ‘Di ko narinig masyado.” She asked amd took a step closer to him.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed. “Wala. Matulog ka na, it’s late already.” He said, laying his head back on the sofa of the common room.

[theasquared]

She hesitated but she sat on the couch near the one he was in. “Uy, naaalala mo ba yung New Year last year?” She asked, trying to start a conversation.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He was taken aback with Ava’s question, but he tried his best not to make her notice by keeping his attention on his phone. How could he forget that time? That was the time where they met each other’s family — the time when everything was still okay and in place. “Yeah. Pero inaantok na ako eh. Ayoko nang pag-usapan yun.”

[theasquared]

“Ah. Okay. Matulog ka na.” She whispered, an obvious frown on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door. “Just so you know, nag-usap lang kami. Nandun din sila Kris at Dhon, kahit itanong mo pa sakanila.” She said and went to her room.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He quickly stood up when she left but stopped at the door of the common room and spoke before she can go any further. “I don’t really care if nag-usap lang kayo or what. It’s fine, kahit kanino ka makapag-usap. Hindi naman kita mapipigilan eh. I’m just your boyfriend. Nothing more. But just so you know too„ I’ve been waiting for you this morning but I never saw you.”

[theasquared]

She turned around, irritated “Anong gusto mong palabasin? Gosh, eh di sana nagtext ka. You’re always waiting, it wouldn’t hurt kung mag-exert ka ng konting effort.” She looked at him, a little bit offended, “By the way, I was on skype with my parents.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed and his voice lowered but he made sure she can still hear him. “Nothing. I was expecting you to come by my room kasi eh. I wanted to be with you, gusto kong masolo ka kasi alam kong wala ang roommates ko because of booze or partying till morning. Akala ko babalikan mo ako because you went to me nung nag-12 na at ginising-gising mo pa ako.” He bit his lip and stood there with hands on his short’s pocket. “Good for you, nakausap mo na SILA….let’s drop this. Happy New Year.” He said and made his way to his room, giving her a kiss in the forehead then walked past through her.

[theasquared]

Ava sighed and resigned to her room as well. She sat on her bed, holding a glass canister full of colored papers. It was not a secret that Ava likes to do sweet little surprises for Liam during special occasions. She exited her room and headed for his, wondering if he ever thought of coming to her, if he was now asleep or if he was still waiting for her.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Liam felt sorry for his actions, maybe he was just over-reacting or what. But he cannot blame himself for getting jealous — Kenjie had proclaimed love for Ava eversince and maybe, just maybe, he’s still in love with her. ‘But Kenj has Soph now and they’re really in love.’ His subconscious ringed to him. Liam then slapped his forehead, and decided that he was just over-reacting. He grabbed the box that was sitting on his drawer for months now, it was meant to be his anniversary gift for Ava, but then he didn’t have the chance to give it to her since they were too busy. The box contained a magic rose that turns its color by the holder’s mood and never withers. He stood up and fixed himself, deciding to go to her room, but was surprised when he saw her heading to his room too.

[theasquared]

Ava gasped when he saw Liam going towards her direction but she still took small steps until they met halfway. She held the sleeve of his hoodie between her fingers while the other one was holding the canister. "I...hindi ako nakapunta sayo kasi tinapos ko pa ito." She explained and gave it to Liam. Written on the papers were the memories they shared throughout their relationship. Ava wanted to remind him as well as to let him know that there are still a lot to experience and she wanted him to be with her all the time. "Happy New Year."

[theasquared]

[theasquared]

“Oh..” She whispered. “Pano kayo ng mga kapatid mo?”

[kenjievalenciano]

He tried topening his mouth to respond, but he doesn’t know what to say. “E-Ewan ko. Hindi ko pa sila natatawagan since… since we got here.”

[theasquared]

“Why?” She asked, debating whether she should go sit beside him or remain on her position. “Baka nag-aalala na sila.” She decided to do the latter.

[kenjievalenciano]

"May mas malalaking bagay naman silang dapat alalahanin eh," he said with a shrug.

[theasquared]

“Pero, I think you should deal with the issue together and that you need each other’s support.” Ava voiced out her opinions.

[kenjievalenciano]

"What if I don’t wanna deal with it?" he asked in a small voice, feeling guilt grow inside him.

[theasquared]

"Then you won't be able to move on." She replied in a soft voice.

[theasquared]

[theasquared]

“Oh..” She whispered. “Pano kayo ng mga kapatid mo?”

[kenjievalenciano]

He tried topening his mouth to respond, but he doesn’t know what to say. “E-Ewan ko. Hindi ko pa sila natatawagan since… since we got here.”

[thegreatliamorbida]

Okay ako na late. Manigong Bagong Taon! Maligo sa Bagong Taon!!!

[theasquared]

Hindi ako naligo. Malamig kasi.

[thegreatliamorbida]

Ah okay. Nagheater ka sana.

[theasquared]

“Grabe naman. Kanina ang sweet pa lang sa text eh.” Her brows furrowed in confusion.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He scoffed and whispered so low. “Edi dun ka sa text ko. Yun lang pala gusto mo eh.”

[theasquared]

“Ha? ‘Di ko narinig masyado.” She asked amd took a step closer to him.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He sighed. “Wala. Matulog ka na, it’s late already.” He said, laying his head back on the sofa of the common room.

[theasquared]

She hesitated but she sat on the couch near the one he was in. “Uy, naaalala mo ba yung New Year last year?” She asked, trying to start a conversation.

[thegreatliamorbida]

He was taken aback with Ava’s question, but he tried his best not to make her notice by keeping his attention on his phone. How could he forget that time? That was the time where they met each other’s family — the time when everything was still okay and in place. “Yeah. Pero inaantok na ako eh. Ayoko nang pag-usapan yun.”

[theasquared]

“Ah. Okay. Matulog ka na.” She whispered, an obvious frown on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door. “Just so you know, nag-usap lang kami. Nandun din sila Kris at Dhon, kahit itanong mo pa sakanila.” She said and went to her room.
