Song: The One- Kodaline

Score

Pagkatapos ng shoot ay sinundo rin naman agad ako ni Zach. Pagkalabas ko sa building ay nandoon na siya.

I got scolded by Laura but I don't care. Being scolded was so worth it dahil si Zach ang rason sa likod nun.

"Hi," sabi ko nang pumasok sa kotse niya. He smiled at me at nilagay niya ang kanyang index finger sa aking baba.

He leaned in closer and press a kiss on my lips. I licked my lips when he pulled away and smiled at him.

"How was your shoot?" He started driving.

"It's okay. Pinagalitan ako ni Laura because it was the first time I came to shoot late. But it doesn't matter," sabi ko. Bahagya naman siyang natawa.

"Where are you staying tonight?" Nilingon ko siya. Sumulyap siya ng saglit sa akin at binalik muli ang mga mata sa kalsada.

"At my apartment?"

"Oh..." He sound so disappointed. "I thought you're staying again tonight."

"I can't. Ryan's already wondering where I am. I'll stay maybe next week? I don't know."

"It's so hard to be apart from you." Lihim akong napangiti sa sinabi niya.

"We've been apart for a year, you can handle it." He glared at me.

"You don't know how hard it was, Samantha. It was a struggle being away from you. Kaya ngayong abot na kita, pakakawalan pa ba kita?"

Umiling na lamang ako at tumingin sa labas.

When he pulled over at my apartment, I heard him sighed heavily. Lumingon ako sakanya.

"I'll call you tonight." Aniya. Tumango ako. Nanatili lang siyang nakatingin para bang tinatantya ako.

"Okay."

Nang hindi siya mag-salita ulit ay kinuha ko na ang mga gamit ko at binuksan ang pinto ng kotse niya.

I was about to go down when he closed the door again. Mabilis akong napalingon sakanya.

He smirked before he crashed his lips into mine. He really can't end this day without kissing me huh?

He slid his tongue for entrance which I gladly allowed. I can't believe we're having a heated make out session inside his car.

Ang maliit na espasyo ay hindi alintala. Parang ang pinakamahalagang bagay nalang ngayon ay ang labi naming nakadikit sa isa't isa.

Medyo mahirap ang posisyon niya because he was leaning forward while I'm pressed against his door. I opened my eyes to see if his car is heavy tinted. Sinarado ko muli nang makumpirma ko.

I slid my hand on his seatbelt and removed it. He carried me a little and made me sit on his lap.

Oh god!

He started kissing my neck. I moved my hair on the side to give him access.
I moaned. "Uh.. Zach."

"This is why I hate being apart from you. It will only make me miss you more." then he attacked my lips again.

Ang strap ng suot ko ay nalaglag na sa balikat ko nang ipadausdos ni Zach ang kanyang kamay.

We just couldn't find a reason to stop. I felt him trying to remove my top. I was taken a back and pulled my lips away.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya. "Zach," he looks alarmed. "We need to stop."

"I did not go that far, right?" Tanong niya. I shook my head. Binalik niyang muli ang strap ng aking damit. "Maybe my car's not the right place."

Nanatili akong tahimik. I'm still sitting on his lap. It was really an awkward position but it doesn't matter.

"You know that semi-finals is fast approaching, right?" I nodded. Nilagay niya naman ang takas na buhok sa likod ng aking tainga. "I want you there."

"When is it?" I asked.

"Next week."

"Okay. I'll clear my schedule then." He cupped my face then he runs his thumb on my cheek back and forth while staring at me.

"You promised that, baby." I smiled.

"Of course! Promise me you'll do your best?" he pressed a kiss on my lips again.

"I'll give all my best for you." He whispered. I gave him a kiss one last time then got out of his car.

Ugh! Grabe! Can't we just stop kissing each other all the time? Well, I think not.

Nang makapasok ako sa loob ng apartment ay hindi maalis ang ngiti sa labi ko.

"Where were you last night?" Ryan voice made me come to my senses. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"At my friend's house." I lied.

Ayaw ko munang sabihin sakanya ang tungkol sa amin ni Zach. I want him to find out himself. Sabi ko rin kay Zach na wag niyang sabihin kay Tony. He agreed.

"You could've called! Hindi mo ba alam na nag-alala kami sa'yo?!" I knew by the tone of his voice that he was mad.

I got scolded twice today and it was all because of Zach.

But that doesn't matter, kasalanan ko rin naman. And I did not regret any of it.

"I'm sorry." I tried to smile at him. Umirap siya sa akin.

"Come here." He was asking for a hug. Lumapit ako sakanya at niyakap siya.

"Sorry, dahil di ko sinabi kung nasaan ako."

"It's okay just don't do it again." I nodded.

Kinagabihan ay tumawag si Zach. Wala naman kaming masyadong pinag-usapan. He was just making sure that I will watch him play next week.

Agad ko rin namang sinabi kay Laura na kailangan ko ng clear schedule next week. She was wondering why, syempre hindi ko sinabi. Ang sabi ko ay may pupuntahan ako.

Mabilis na sumapit ang araw at oras na para sa semi-finals ng NFL. Zach already got me a ticket.

Hindi niya ako maihahatid sa venue dahil hindi siya makaalis doon dahil dudumugin siya ng fans at ayaw ng coach niya.

He needs to focus on his game and he needs to stop thinking about me. I feel like ako 'yung nagiging rason kung bakit distracted siya sa kada practice niya eh.

He was telling me stories about his coach's non-stop lessons on him. Lagi siyang napapagalitan nito dahil kung hindi daw lumilipad ang isip niya ay lagi naman daw siyang nasa cellphone at tinetext ako.

I suddenly feel bad for his coach. Hindi kay Zach dahil he should know when to stop texting me. He should set aside his game and me.

Kaya ko naman nang may kahati basta wag lang ibang babae.

The stadium is nearly packed by fans of both teams. Pumwesto naman ako sa upuan kung saan ako nireserve ni Zach.

It was just infront of the field. I wonder how much this seat cost.

Some people recognized me and was kind enough to ask for pictures. Nag-simulang maghiyawan ang mga tao nang mag-salita ang host. The game's starting in a few minutes kaya naman ang mga tao dito ay hindi na mapakali.

I saw some photographers taking pictures of me. Kunwari nalang ay hindi ko nakikita. For sure ay mabilis na naman na kakalat 'to sa internet. They will go crazy again.

Nang mag-simula nang ipakilala ang bawat teams mas lalong naging maingay ang crowd. Zach's team started to enter.

Kasama siya sa mga unang lumabas. His eyes immediately roamed around the crowd. I knew he was looking for me. Hindi naman maitago ang mga ngiti ko sa labi.

When he found my eyes he smiled at me. I returned his smile and gave him a thumbs up. Then he remained focus on the game like he promised me.

Zach's team will be the defense team while the other is the offense team. I know that Zach's going to do good in this game like he always have. They started to move to their respective places.

Players gathered around him as they waited for him to pass the ball. Players started tackling each other once Zach has taken a hold of the ball.

Each players are trying their best not to get tackled but unfortunately the other team's offense was just too strong.

Pero parang nakahanap ng butas sa karayom etong si Zach at nagawa niya pang ibato ang bola even though he got tackled by a player.

They did not score a touchdown dahil napigilan ito ng kalaban. I saw other players got disappointed even Zach. It should've been a score kung hindi lang napigilan.

Nagawi naman ang tingin ni Zach sa pwesto ko. I tried to cheer him up and mumbled 'it's okay'

May lumapit naman sakanya na team mate niya. That guy really looks familiar di ko lang masabi dahil nakaside view siya at medyo malayo sila sa pwesto ko. They both laughed. Humarap naman muli si Zach sa gawi ko at tinuro ako.

I wonder why he was pointing at me while talking to his team mate? Ano kaya 'yung pinag-uusapan nila?

When the guy turned around, my jaw immediately dropped. I can't believe they're still team mates after all these years!

Ian found me and started to wave at me. I couldn't believe it! It's been years since I last saw him.

Kumusta na kaya sila ni Kelly?

Gosh, I miss that girl!

Tila kahit nauubosan na ng kumpansya ang team ni Zach na maka score ng touchdown ay hindi parin sila sumuko. I started cheering hard. Lamang na ang kalaban ng  dalawang touchdown ngayon.

Mahirap ng makascore pa dahil third half na ngayon. Para bang himala nalang kung sila Zach pa ang manalo ngayon.

Pumwesto muli sila and they started protecting Zach from sudden attacks. When he got the ball, the offense team started snatching it from him. Pero mabilis siyang kumilos at nakakaiwas siya rito.

He was looking around kung kanino niya ba ipapasa. Ian moves into a critical position kaya naman ay nag-hesistate siyang ipasa sakanya ang bola. Wala siyang nagawa kundi ang itakbo ito.

I started cheering so hard when he started to run from the 60th yard to the 10th yard in order to score a touchdown. He gracefully prevented the opponent's attack.

The crowd started cheering so hard ng maiscore niya ang touchdown. Kahit ako ay hindi ko rin mapigilan ang magbunyi.

They just scored their first touchdown because of Zach.

Zach started celebrating with the crowd and he ran around the field papunta sa pwesto ko.

"That was for you! That was for you!" He pointed at me.

Nang tumigil siya sa harap ko ay nakangiti lamang siya. Hindi pinapansin ang ibang fans.

"Zach! You are awesome!"

"That was so fucking awesome!" Sigaw ng ibang fans. Ngumiti siya rito at binalik muli ang tingin sa akin.

"You did great!" Sabi ko at sabay naman nun ang pag-pito muli ng referee. He smiled one last time and stole a kiss from me. He started running back towards the field.

The crowd behind me started cheering at us. Ang iba ay nagkakachawan pa. Itinawa ko na lamang iyon at nagpatuloy na sa panonood.
