Sky's POV
Who would have thought that the woman I like will like me back? Damn! I am just so happy! After that day, it seems like everything has changed. Lagi ko na siyang nakikitang masaya, naririnig ko na 'yong totoo niyang tawa. And, I also decided to just go with the flow. Inalis ko na 'yong disappointment ko sa kaniya and even kay Hillary. I just want to fill my days with joyfulness.
It's been two weeks that she confessed her feelings for me. I never tell her that I also feel the same. I just told her that I'm happy that she likes me. She asked if it's okay if she'll show me her feelings, and of course, I said yes.
But now, I want us to finally have a label. I'm here in our music room at home and I invited her to come over. I feel so nervous at the moment, hindi talaga ako sigurado if my plan will be successful. Pero, bahala na.
Someone knocked at the door and my heart beats faster than earlier! She was surprised seeing me at the center, holding a guitar. I gestured her to sit in the chair and she smiled when she went there.
"Woah!" she was amazed by the heart-shaped petals on the floor. Naalala ko kasi dati, sabi niya kapag may nanligaw sa kaniya dapat may petals na nagkalat and so, that's what I did. And, I'm thankful that it makes her happy.
"Vee, I have a song for you, please listen to it," I uttered right after I calmed myself down. She smiled at me, then I started strumming the guitar.
"🎶Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Girl I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. 🎶"
She's smiling so wide that's why I am also smiling the whole time that I am singing for her.
"🎶 And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. 🎶"
When I'm done singing, I walked closer to her, then she hugged me immediately. Then, I whispered, "I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend."
Kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap sa'kin and she stares at me in tears, "k-kailan pa?" she asked.
I wipe away her tears, then I replied, "since I've known you, Vee. I can't even count how many times I get jealous with you and my twin. Good thing, I know how to handle my emotions."
She smiled and hugged me again. "Ang saya-saya ko, Sky, ang saya ko na malaman na gusto mo rin ako," she uttered. "Pero, may kanta rin ako sa'yo."
"Talaga?" I asked and she just nodded.
Then, she started singing.
"🎶 Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it
Grow old together
Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent.🎶"
She really has an angelic voice! But, I get more stuck on the lyrics of her song!
"🎶I pray for all your love
Boy our love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you
Somebody pinch me
This is something like a movie
And I don't know how it ends Boy
But I fell in love with my best friend.🎶"
She stopped, then she held both my hand, "Sky, you're just my best friend, but now...I am wanting more because I'm in love with you. Yes, I fell in love with my best friend," she uttered, smiling so sweet!
Pakiramdam ko gusto kong tumalon at sumigaw! Sh*t! I am so happy!!
"Then...can I court you now?" I asked, somehow feeling nervous.
She smiled and said, "pero, gusto ko tayo na."
I chuckled, "you mean, you're now my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend?" I made sure and she nodded too soon!! Sh*t!!
"I love you, Sky," she sincerely uttered!
I hugged her, then I replied, "I love you, too, Veia," wholeheartedly. She then hugged me tighter!
The long wait is over! After 4 years, she's now my girlfriend! No words can even explain how happy am I today. We're now officially a couple!
