Emerald's POV

I waved goodbye to him before entering.

Ashton drove me back.

Sabi ko wag na pero he insisted.

I put my bad down, and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.

Pag-labas ko ng banyo ay saktong nag-notif ang phone ko.

Agad kong kinuha iyon at tinignan.

From: Feelingerong kupal

"Hey, i'm home. How are you?" Basa ko sa text.

I smiled at his message.

Ilang minuto pa lang naman ang nakakalipas, pero chinecheck niya na kaagad ako.

"Good, i just finished taking a bath. :)" Reply ko.

Wala pang isang minuto ay tumunog na agad ang cellphone ko.

From: feelingerong kupal

"Rest kana muna, goodnight miss. :)" he replied.

I put my phone down and went straight to my bed.

I stared at my ceiling while smiling.

This feeling that i've been feeling... it's the same feeling that i felt, years ago, when i first saw Asher.

Then i suddenly remember him... i wonder how is he.

Carlisle's POV

"Tama na yan, bro." Saad ni Luis habang pilit na inaagaw yung bote ng alak sa'kin.

"Ayoko. Ang sakit." I said as i held my chest.

"I saw her with that guy at the mall earlier." I cried out loud.

"Bro, you're damn waisted! Tama na." He said, struggling to take the bottle from me.

"No, let me drink!" I yelled.

"Pota, para akong nag-aalaga ng high-school." He messed his hair out of frustration.

"Bahala ka jan." He said and walked to his room.

I laid at the sofa, where i am sitting.

I saw my phone beside me and grabbed it.

I looked at my contacts and saw her number.

"Asawa ko." I read what's on my phone.

Hindi ko na namalayang naka-tulog na pala ako.

Emerald's POV

I woke up because of the light that was hitting my face.

I sat down, still a bit sleepy.

I turn my gaze at the center table and saw my phone.

I grabbed my phone to check the notifications.

"(9+ messages) from ashcle_" I read.

What the fck?

I opened his messages...

"Hi love uvzuwg" my brows arched while reading his messages.

I can't read the others. He looks drunk.

He must be.

I put my phone down and went outside to prepare breakfast.

Saktong pag-labas ko ng kwarto ay tumunog ang doorbell.

Huh?

I walked through my door and opened it.

Bumungad naman sa'kin ang bagong ligong si Ashton.

"Hey." Bati niya habang matamis na naka-ngiti.

I opened the door widely so he can enter.

I saw that he put those plastic bags at my table.

"Let's eat?" Pag-aaya niya.

I nodded and sat down.

We're quiet while eating.

I can feel that he has something to say.

"Elle?" He called me.

"Hmm?" I answered.

"I'll court you." He said looking straight into my eyes.

"What?!" I said almost spitting my food out.

"Hindi naman ako pumayag ah?" Gulat kong tanong.

"Bakit nag tanong ba 'ko?" He said still chewing on his food.

Bahagya akong napa-nganga sa sinabe niya.

This man... he's unbelievable.

"Huy." Tawag ko sakanya.

"What?" He answered.

"Seryoso kana ba jan?" I asked.

"Kung makapag-tanong ka naman, para namang pag-sisisihan ko 'to." He answered.

He stood up and cleaned the table.

"Uwi na'ko." Paalam niya.

"Okay, ingat." I replied.

"Adios, mi amor." He said before going out.

What the fuck.

He's good at making my heart beats fast.

I immediately grabbed my phone and texted my friends.

Nag-tungo ako sa kwarto ko at nag-bihis.

I got out of the taxi.

And roamed my eyes.

Agad kong nakita sila Zach at Yumi na nag-aantay sa loob ng cafe.

Nag-lakad ako papunta sa direksyon nila.

I sat down.

"Anong chismis te?" Bungad ni Yumi nang maka-upo ako.

"Liligawan niya daw ako." Panimula ko.

"Sus, kilig na kilig ang tanga." Sabat naman ni Zach.

"Che." Saway ko sakanya.

"Pumayag ka naman?" Tanong ni Yumi.

"Wala naman akong nagawa e." Mahinang tugon ko.

"Ayon." Sabay nilang saad.

"Hilig mo kasi sa may 'Ash' sa pangalan e." Pang-aasar naman ni Zach.

Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin dahil sa sinabe niya.

Yumi just laughed at him.

"True." He said still laughing.

"Wow, nag tulungan." I rolled my eyes at them.

"Gusto mo ba siya?" Yumi asked.

"Well..." it took a few minutes before answering her question.

"I... don't know." I answered.

"Yun naman pala." She answered.

"Jowain nayan." Dagdag pa niya.

"Tumututol ako sa ideyang ito." Mukhang tangang saad naman ni Zach.

"Bakit?" Yumi asked raising one of her brows.

"Asher parin manok ko." He said.

"Sus, wala yan sa manok ko." Pag-tatalo nila.

"Tumahimik nanga kayo." Saway ko sakanila.

"Pili ka, Asher o Ashton?" Tanong ni Yumi.

Napa-tingin naman si Zach samin, pareho sila ngayong nag-aantay sa sagot ko.

"Ambot." I said.

To be honest, i don't know.
