Hickeys
"Shantal! Ang tagal mo naman sa bathroom! Baka ma late na tayo" Tristan knocked while I was still inside the bathroom. I put on more concealer pero ayaw parin eh. "Ughh!" I groaned, i give up. I placed my sponge back to my pouch and opened the door only to face Tristan who is waiting for me. "Babe, bakit an- What the fuck!" His eyes widened when he saw me and his eyes traveled down my neck. "You're wondering bakit ang tagal ko sa cr dba? Oh, ayan na!" I replied rolling my eyes and walked past him going to his bed and sat down pouting. He laughed as he walked closer to me. I glared at him more, how can he laugh?
Ang dami kong hickeys!! First time ko magka hickeys at sobrang obvious ng tatlong malalaking hickeys!!!
"Babe, I'm sorry!! Hindi ko napigilan, eh! Ikaw kasi!" He said laughing touching my hickeys. "At pano ko naging kasalanan ha?" I replied irritated. Kasalanan ko pa talaga!! "Nakakatakam ka kasi." He replied hugging me as he laughed and I can't help but laugh at his reply. "Gago ka talaga babe" I replied laughing while grabbing him by the neck and kissed his cheek.
"Gurl, ano yang style mo?" Natatawang bati ni Irene sakin pag dating ko sa room namin and even my other classmates are looking at me. I'm wearing a scarf all over my neck in this fucking hot weather! Naku Tristan!!! Ewan ko nalang talaga!! "Wala! Shut up na Irene!" I replied glaring at her as she laughed.
"Shan, ang init init ba't ka naka scarf?" Natatawang tanong nga chismosa kong classmate na si tine. "None of your business, tine. Besides, inaano ka ba ng Hermès scarf ko? Ha?" I replied glaring at her and rolled my eyes before taking my seat. "Attitude ka, gurl?" Irene joked while looking at me. "Ano ba kasi yan?" She asked and I sighed pulling the scarf down a bit and made sure no one was looking at pinakita ko sa kanya and her eyes widened and she covered her mouth to stop herself from shouting. "Wtf?!! May nangyari na sa inyo?!" she whispered or more like yelled on my ears. "Wala! Ano ka ba! We just made out at ayan tuloy!" I replied laughing at her reaction.
It has been months simula nung nawala si lola and slowly mas nagiging okay na ako. Daddy's always checking on me na, also mommy kaya masaya na rin ako dahil mas nafefeel ko sila ngayon. Madalas narin ang chikahan namin ni mommy over the phone and she tells me about her pregnancy, we talk about me and tristan, how much she misses me and she sends me money for my allowance and also for what I want to buy. Masaya kami ni Tristan and I'm pretty happy and content with my life right now.
It's peaceful. Malapit na matapos ang school year and summer na ulit. Mom planned na this summer sa kanya ako but I told her wag na muna dahil ayoko kong dumagdag sa aalahanin nya lalo na dahil buntis s'ya. Maybe next summer nalang.
"So, what's your plan anak? It's almost your birthday." I'm talking to daddy right now over the phone habang nasa mall kami ni Tristan kumakain sa Yellow cab.
Oo nga pala noh? I'm turning 18 soon ngayong March at Feb 1st week na ngayon. Medyo late na to plan out a debut ha? Nawala kasi talaga sa isipan ko yang birthday ko. "I don't know pa, dad. Wala akong plano. Besides, I don't need nor want a party. Intimate dinner with friends and family lang, okay na sakin yan. Ayoko ng maraming hassle. We can have it in our garden." I replied chewing my pizza and Tristan listening to what I was saying.
"Bakit daw?" Tanong ni Tristan pagkatapos namin mag usap ni daddy. "He was just asking about my 18th birthday." I replied like it was nothing. "Hmm, akala ko nga nakalimotan mo na ang birthday mo." He replied looking at me. He was seated across me, we were in a two seater table. Natawa ako sa sinabi nya at nginitian ko sya nga malaki and he raised his eyebrows at me. "Bakit? As if you remember my birthday babe." I replied still laughing at his cute pout. "Of course, I do! Babe, kakalimotan ko na lahat pero hindi ikaw, hindi ang mga detalye tungkol sayo. Never." He replied his face serious while reaching out to my hand and held it tight.
My heart skips a beat everytime he looks at me this way, which is always. Mamatay ako nito.
"Mahal na mahal kita, Ttistan." I replied smiling at him. "Mas mahal kita, sobra. Sobra sobra kitang mahal, Shantal." He replied then kissed my hand.
Pagkatapos namin kumain tinulungan ako ni Tristan mag plano para sa birthday ko. I told him I want it simple at intimate. S'ya na nga ang nag contact ng organizer at iba pang kailangan. Mas excited pa s'ya kesa sakin.
Palapit ng palapit ang birthday ko at mas naging busy si Tristan sa school dahil patapos na ang school year. Uuwi din si dad for my birthday and as expected hindi makakauwi si mommy dahil malaki laki na rin ang tyan nya.
Today is my day and I'm still in bed. Wow, 18 na ako. I am finally legal. Kagigising ko lang at hindi pa ako bumabangon at hindi parin tumatawag si tristan sakin. Tulog pa siguro and besides, maaga pa. Still 7:30. My party is going to just here, in our garden near the pool. No, I wouldn't call it party. Just dinner with the most important people in my life. Pina cancel ko na rin kay Tristan yung organizers dahil gusto ko lang talaga ng simple, as in dinner lang. Hindi na kailangan ng mga designs and whatever.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!" I heard as my door opened and revealed daddy and Tristan! They were bringing a cake and balloons along with our house help singing me a happy birthday. My eyes widened in surprise and I couldn't stop myself from smiling big. "Wow!! Dad! You're here and Tristan! Babe! Ang aga mo naman." I said standing up and hugged daddy then Tristan. "Thank you, dad!" I thanked him after I blew my candle. "Oh no, this was all Tristan's idea." He replied kissing my forehead. "Aweee, baby! Thank you so much." I replied hugging Tristan tight and he kissed my cheek. "Anything for my baby." He replied smiling at me.
