Chapter 55
Okay. How do I react now?!!
"Uhm." I was about to speak when Shaira suddenly arrived. Jusko!! She almost caught up with Drake and me, who was doing wonders!
She was walking around with her matching towel hanging from her shoulder, and of course, her body was exposed again. Could it be that she was embarrassed, I mean, to expose her body in front of the three of us?!!
"Drake? Where are you?"
I was about to answer when Drake suddenly covered my mouth. "Shut up, once again," he said and we walked past each other. Maybe Shaira, Tripp, and Drake are really super friends because it seems like they know the ins and outs of Shaira's house. It also feels like they feel at home. I'm a little jealous because no matter what I do, the three of them have a history together...
What have we come to? It's like an escape from the real world because it's so beautiful. There's a mini man-made lake here and then a bridge. I sat on the bridge and hung my feet so they wouldn't get wet in the water. Drake, on the other hand, just stood next to me. We were just silent. I don't know how to speak right now.
"W-what is this?" I said. He handed me his phone. "O" It was my first time touching his phone! Even when we were a little bit older, I never touched his phonel
I felt Drake roll his eyes. Even though I wasn't looking, I could feel what he was doing. I suddenly became psychic! "It's my phone, obviously."
"Sorry! What can I do with your phone?"

He bent down and while I was holding his phone, he entered the passcode. Because he did it in front of me, I saw... 1131. That's terrible.
"Your brother has been texting me nonsense since we broke up. Could you please tell him to shut the hell up because he's slowly getting into my nerves," Drake said then he showed me the thread of Dane's texts. Wow!

Stop making my sister cry or I'll head back to the Philippines and kick your sorry arse myself.
From: Annoying Brother
You old guy! You're not so good for my sister, leave her alone,
And the rest goes on. Why am I crying? Dane is so mean... maybe this is the time he sees me crying when we Skype. Because, how can I not cry when he's so sweet to Allison when we talk. I'm just jealous that my little bro actually has a girlfriend! It's not Drake I'm crying about... well, partly yes.
I handed him his phone back, "S-okay, I'll tell you... I'm sorry..." I told him. I was about to stand up but I was shocked when Drake suddenly hugged my legs. "Drake! What the hell!"
I felt something wet on my leg... was she crying??
"Alys..."
Try Premium
I moved my leg. "Drake, why are you like that?" I said as I tried to remove his hand from my leg.
"I thought being angry at you would help me forget about you but why is that everytime I see you, all I remember is that I love you?"
I was stunned by what he said. What are we doing? We're on a break! Tripp is flirting with me, he and Shaira are okay but why is it like this again!
I sat up and grabbed his hands that were wrapped around my legs. "Drake, let go of me, please."
"I know that I'm not the best boyfriend in the world, maybe I'm the worst... but I love you so much, Alys. I'm a retard for letting you go so please take me back."
He turned me to him and held my face. I was starting to cry a little again, I was just about to cry because of Dane, now it's Drake..
"I love you so much, Alys. I'm laying myself here bare enough. Take me back, date me again."
"Drake... We're okay again, right? This is how we really are, not talking, not paying attention to each other. Before I introduced myself as your girlfriend, this is how we really are. Please, just pretend that nothing happened," I said. I felt like a bad girl. I was making a man cry... but I don't know. Even though I really wanted to hug Drake and tell him that we should just be together, something was stopping me...
He bit his lip, probably to stop himself from crying. "When I hear your name, I remember that I love you. When I see your face, I remember how much I love you. And when I kiss your lips, I realize that it's you I can't live without," he said then he held my face and kissed me.
I just closed my eyes and before I knew it, I was crying again.
Drake wiped my tears. "Please, let's go again."
Okay, I'll say it. It's true, I love Drake but there are many buts....
"Drake, I love you, you know that, right?" He shook his head. I hit him! "Don't you know that I love you?!!"
Umiling siya. "You're always hurting me. I'm confused if you really love me or you just hate me."
I sighed. Earlier, it was all tension, now we're talking about something!
"Ma-hal-ki-ta. Seulment Vous," I told him. I already knew what that meant, only you! I'm good at Frenchi "But you know that Shaira and Tripp are already there..."
He held my hand and played with my fingers. "So?"
"What are you doing there? It'll hurt their feelings!"
He shrugged. "Would you rather hurt me, then?"
Nothing more. I've given up. What are we talking about! What a mess!
"I don't want to. Okay? I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm fine, don't let them..."
He shook his head, looking annoyed by what I was saying. "Why do you care too much? If you love me and I sure as hell love you back, why complicate things, Miss Perez?"
"Because... that's really it, Mister Palma, We're not the only ones affected."
"Is it not because I'm always hurting you?"
I shook my head. "No... I'm used to it. I've put up with the worst when I'm with you. Now, we're not together anymore... There's Tripp and Shaira..."
"Do you like my cousin?"
I shrugged too. "What's not to like?"
"He's a pain in the ass."
"Takes one to know one," sabi ko.
He smirked. "Touché," he said, then patted my head. "You're getting smarter, Alys... but you'll always be my noob."
"I-I don't know!!" I said and stood up. "I'm leaving, Tripp might be looking for me."
I was about to walk away but he grabbed my hand. "Wait."
"What?"
"If you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings... date me."
"Ha?"
He held my other hand. "Date me again, Alys. Secretly date me this time."
