Erick P.O.V

Sa tuwing nakikipagdebate siya saakin tungkol kay Girly na kaklase ko noon, I found the sincerity in her eyes. I guess she has a feeling for me. I never assumed or predicted something but the signs found in her. Eventhough that night when I asking her to go with Girly, she never said any negative words.

“ Hoy Erick, putik naman ’yan oh, ’wag mo akong titigan ha? Matutunaw na ako, ”wika niya sa akin sabay hampas sa balikat ko.  Gusto rin siya hampasin pero I guess love ko na siya e. She has my care and love so, deserve niya ang alagaan.

“ Aray ! Michelle naman. Okay lang sa’yo na ginaganon-ganon mo? Masakit na ’yan ha! ” angal ko sa kaniya. “ Kung tatawa ka, then just laugh. Wag manghampas.” Wika ko at inirapan ito.

She moved near to me. “ Kasalanan mo ito , titig ka nang titig, ” I stunned. Why is she acting like this? Makes me more confused.

I hold my breath for a moment. I just want to hide all my feelings to her since I was just her assisant.

From that moment, the wind explain how beautiful your day when someone is trying to make you smile, to make you life and make you feel inlove. 

Malapit na kaming makarating sa kompanya niya kaya hininaan ko ang pagtakbo nang masulit ko ang oras na makasama ko siya.

“ Hoy Eric! ”

“ Hoy na naman? May pangalan ako ha? ” angal ko sa kaniya ng bigla itong nagsalita.

“ Bilisan mo kaya,“ utos niya. She raised her brows and furrowed.

“ Okay !”I replied.

Binilisan ko nalang ang takbo ko nang utusan niya ako.

I parked the car inside and then I opened the window.

“ Marunong ka din naman sigurong bumaba? Baba kana! ”utos ko sa kaniya na tila ba’y tulala .

Naghihintay lamang ako na utusan niya. Maya maya ay bumaba narin ito at dala-dala ang kaniyang bag.

Inagaw ko ito mula sa kaniya at sinenyasan siyang pumasok .

“ Hey, dear, thanks for letting me know what happiness is . I mean, our last night date. ” Girly shouted. I didn't noticed that she followed me here.

I saw Michelle angrily watching at me and shooked  her head. Seems her eyes tells something.

“ What happened to us last night? I know we’re drunk, but I didn’t remember anything. ” I said to Girly. The word ’letting me know what happiness is ’ makes me confused. I’d never did anything to her.

“ When we both rolling on the bed, ” She added.

“ No, I didn't go to bed with you. I went back home after we drunk. I’m not that fool Girly. I never touched your body or sleeping with you. I just wake up with my little brother at home. So stop making gossips. ” I explained to her. There is  really nothing happened with us . We’re just drinking and I just drunk a little bit.

“ I am driving Michelle’s car slowly to avoid accident on the way, cause you force me to drink alcohol!  ” I shouted at her.

“ Well, ”Girly said and looked towards Michelle.

“ Let’s go Erick. A crowd is watching us.  ”Michelle pulled me up. A people talking about me and Girly. And gossips begin to spread.

Michelle feels so bad to me. When we entered in elevator and she clicked the same number before. She looks at me differently.

“ Are you mad at me? ”I asked her. She just shooked her head and sighed to avoid staring at my eyes. I hold her hands and faced her .

“ Hmm... ” I mumbled. Her eyes creating tears.

“ I thought you were true. How can you do this to me huh? Erick? ” She exclaimed.

I will going to confess my feelings to her. “ When I first saw you on the lovely land, I told myself that it is you. I neglect being photographer because I want to be with you. I want to protect you Michelle. I love the way you smiled at me, the way you asked me to dine. ”I want to kissed her. But I know it was wrong.

“ Hmm...  what about Girly and you? Do you have any relationship? Just tell me the truth ,” she asked. “ I just don't want to become hopeless.” she voicelessly said.

“ We’re just friends and nothing else. ”I smiled at her. I pulled her face . I just didn't stop my self. Friends with benefits yan.

She didn't act anything and just closed her eyes when the door is suddenly opened.

We entered into her room. I stared at her but seems she was stunned about what happened moments ago.
