It's been weeks since that coffee shop incident happened. The first few days after that, Jake kept telling me to give US a shot, to take the risk of being involved in a serious relationship, but I kept saying NO. By some miracle, just like the other guys I dated and told me a hundred reasons why we should make IT real, he stopped bugging me. You can call me whatever you like for being such an attention seeker who gets what she wants and dumps it the next minute. As what I've said before, I will never take things seriously again. Except if the one asking for that serious relationship is this guy walking towards me.
Hey Jas. He said, sitting beside me. I was actually sitting alone on the bench near the cafeteria when he came.
Hi handsome. :)
Where's Kat & Lia?
With their "boyfriends". I answered, rolling my eyes.
Oh, that. He paused for a while then sighed. I heard what happened between you and Jake.
That was weeks ago James. You don't have to stress yourself out about that.
Yeah. I think I shouldn't. But.. He hesitated, looking at the ground then back at me. You're both special to me that's why I was really happy when I found out that you guys are doing well and doing great. I admit that I got giddy when he said that I'm special to him, pero nung dinagdagan nya, I wish I could've just stabbed this guy. He likes you so much Jas, and compared to other girls he was with before, I saw that he really is serious with you. Oh boy I know that very well so please cut that nonsense. He was badly hurt when you decided to abruptly end what you have.
Oh please James you know how it rolls. It's not as if he's the first guy I dated then dumped the next morning.
Yeah. I almost forgot about that. You wouldn't be tagged the Fling Queen if you don't live up to that name at the first place. He rested his hands in either side of his, looking at the sky. Gah. Is he this upset about what happened between me and his friend? I never thought that he could get this melodramatic. I wonder when will you ever take things like this seriously. He uttered in a voice so low, but still I managed to catch. A smile formed in my lips.
You know what James, I think I could take things like `committment` and `relationship` seriously with
Oh. He uttered, surprised by my `revelation`. He was silent after that then, Maybe I'll ask Jake to change his name, or I'll find a guy of your type named James. He chuckled, trying to divert the issue away from him.
Maybe you can do that. I said with a cheerful tone. You are so not gonna get away with this my dear James. Or maybe.. you don't have to search too far.I told him with another sweet smile.
Y-Yeah. I guess so. Think I should search for a `James` around campus.
Sure, sure. Go find me a `James`, JAMES. ;) I grinned at him, then he just laughed his heart out, scratching the back of his head. His hearty laugh suddenly stopped as his eyes squinted and focused to something - or someone I should say. Talk about bad timing. I followed where his eyes bore and saw Yza walking with... guess who. Drumroll please! Yza, the
Oooohh. They are that close? James didn't move an inch, he continued staring or should I say glaring at those two. I saw his fist formed into a ball. But hey, they look good together. What can I say? Match made by heaven. I kept my voice amused and dreamy while saying that, though in reality, I wanna throw up right there and then. They would really make a nice couple if ever they take things seriously. I continued babbling about how perfect Yza and Ryan are for each other while the tension is still rumbling in James' chest. I only stopped when James got to his feet, and was surprised to see that the two lovey dovey are just a few steps from us. I stood up from my seat as well when our distance from those two are only two steps away.
Look what we got here. A perfect couple. I clapped my hands with fake enthusiasm as the two got flustered. Yza was hesitant at first but then started to say something.
James I nee-
Let's go Jas, I'd walk you to your class. James said, putting an arm around my shoulder.
Now that's sweet. I smiled at Yza triumphantly. See you around guys. I said then let James lead me to my class. I swear Yza's face is disgruntled as hell. >:D
