This is part three of the Love me, Love me series.
I ran out of there as fast as I could. I ran all the way back to may car, opened the door, got it, and slammed the door shut.
I was shaking. I was crying. And I felt like SHIT.
“What the fuck is wrong with you man?!” I shouted to myself. “You barely know this girl, you just saw him making out with his BF and you turn into a big ass crybaby, GET A GRIP!”
But I couldn’t. I just couldn’t remove the fucking scene from my head. It kept playing in my head. On and on and on and on and on. The kiss. The damn kiss. The kiss that I hated. And loved. The one kiss that I wish I was the one doing it.
I started my car, and all the way home, I kept playing and replaying Daughtry’s Over You in my player. Pathetic. Just pathetic. As you might expect, I didn’t sleep a wink that night. I kept turning and tossing around on my bed until past 4am.
Around 5am, my cellphone beeped. I took a quick look, and it was an unknown number. Feeling like shit with nothing to do, I read the unknown message. “AC!, si monica to, san ka pumunta kanina? Bigla ka nalang nawala, san san kita hinanap eh, may papakilala pa naman sana ako sayo, 
”
Now any given day, this would have made me the happiest man alive, but somehow, now, it just made me feel even more shittier than usual. So I just turned off my phone and got up. For the next two hours, my punching bag got the worst beating of it’s life.
MONDAY.
Another week of school, another week of seeing Monica, and knowing that I could never have her.
How can things get any more depressing?
Fortunately, it just got a lot better, my cousin,whom we will name Mike, recently got his Visa approved, and that visa was for the States, now, you may ask, what does this have to do with me? Well, he was scheduled to leave that day, and that morning, he had a surprise for me.
When we got to the airport, before he walked into the terminal, he turned around and tossed me something,
“Ac, salo!”
I caught it
And in my hand were car keys, not just any car keys, but for his Hilux.
3.0 Engine with Turbo Intercooler Hilux. The top of the line model.
So, I was reasonably happy showing up to school in a new set of wheels.
“Hmmm, this could definitely help with Phase 3″
So as I drove into the parking lot, I caught a glimpse of BF’s Civic, “Puta mo masasabayan na kita sa sasakyan animal” Kinda bitter of me, but hey, wathca gonna do?
So I parked and as luck would have had it, BF parked next to me, and the passenger door was next to my driver’s door. So as expected Monica came out of his car.
“AC! New ride ah,hehe,” “At least she noticed it” I thought,
“Ba’t bigla ka nawala nung isang gabi?, maganda pa naman yung papakilala ko sayo eh!”
I noticed that BF was talking to someone in his phone, and I thought, “What the hell, I’ve got nothing to lose here”
So I replied, “Ako? Hmm, siguro dahil nakita ko kayo ni BF mo na naghahalikan,haha, naingit naman ako” sabay tawa
Namula siya
“Hmmmm. Interesting”
Tawa lang si Monica, “Hehe, Dapat naman minsan pagbigyan ko siya ng halik ano!”
Medyo nakipag flirt na ako, wala naman mawawala saakin eh,
“Minsan naman ako “pagbigyan” mo,haha” sinabayan ko pa ng kindat, medyo tumahimik si Monica, pero may slight smile sa lips niya, ako naman nagsabi na papasok na ako sa room at mamaya nalang ulit magkita, si BF kausap pa din kung sino man sa phone niya, di niya kami napansin, “Good” isip ko sa sarili ko.
At dun na nagsimula yun, panay ang flirt ko kay Monica, andyan man o wala yung BF niya, siyempre pag andyan, pasimple lang ako, ang alam nun magkaibigan lang kami eh, Ang sinasabi ko lagi sa sarili ko ay, “Bahala na si Batman”
Halos 1 month of nonstop flirting ang ginagawa ko, (hindi na ako papasok sa details at baka gayahin niyo ako.hehe) Minsan nag rerespond siya, minsan smile lang, minsan eye roll with smile. Whatever, nageenjoy naman ako ka flirt siya, kahit may BF pa man.
The next month, nag give up hope na ako na mapamahal saakin si Moncia.
It just seems so hopeless. She and BF even went to HongKong, and I do not want to think of the unmentionable things that they might have done there. Hope not,hope not, hope not.
Still,I continued with my flirting,the flirting kinda gave me new life, some kind of light in a dark cave of despair.
I was hoping for the impossible. And then, it came.
After school one day, right as I was just to ride my car, I happened to catch a glimpse of Monica, her head was down, and apparently she was walking fast, she was not usually like that, so I immediately got worried. I chased after her.
“Monica!” I had to shout several times before she heard me. She looked up, and I saw tears streaming down her face. Immediately, I knew something was wrong between her and BF. And I was right, apparently, Monica walked in on him mashing lips with another girl, and a guy, the assholes were about to have a threesome in the school. After hearing her story, I got up, and with all intents and purposes, I wanted to go find BF and KILL him for hurting Monica. She perhaps sensed this and held on to me.
“Pabayaan mo na siya Ac, gago lang un” She could not stop her crying. And I felt so sorry for her. A plan immediately popped into my head.
“Halika Monica, sama ka sakin”, and I held out my hand, she looked at my hand for a few seconds, smiled at me, and reached out to me. I took my hand in hers, and I could not be any happier. Her hands were like velvet, so smooth, I could not resist, I kneeled down, and kissed her hand.
“Let’s go” I told her, “I’m gonna take you on a date of a lifetime”
To be continued.
