She's My Beautiful Stalker

Chapter 4

Geordane's POV

"Weeeeh?!" Napakamot ako sa ulo ko dahil sa inis. Dapat 'di ko nalang kinwento sa kanila yung nangyari kahapon ehh!

"Oo nga kasi! Ba't ba ayaw n'yong maniwala?!" Naiinis na bulyaw ko sa kanila. Tsk. Hindi porket 10 years akong 'di pinapansin ni Eli eh parang suntok sa b'wan ang pansinin n'ya ako ngayon.

"'Di kasi kapani-paniwala pero 'di bale, atleast he's not being rude to you anymore. Kasi 'pag ganun, naku! Makakatikim talaga s'ya ng suntok ko!" Himutok ni Seven, ang tapang talaga neto. Napa-aww naman s'ya nang batukan s'ya ni Rhian.

"Utot mo! Eh no'ng nag boxing ka nga, hinimatay ka eh!" Hahaha! Naaalala ko 'yon, yung time na sumama s'ya sa'ming mag gym. Nando'n si Lyndon, yung gwapo at hunk na boxing instructor. Hinamon n'ya pa si Lyndon dahil sa kalandian n'ya, pero no'ng sinuntok na s'ya sa kaliwang pisngi boom! Biglang hinimatay hahahah!!

"Oh, kasi naman ang gwapo no'ng Lyndon ehh! He's the epitome of gorgeousness." She said dreamily. Nagkatinginan kami ni Rhian at sabay napairap sa kawalan.

"Hoy! Tigil-tigilan mo 'yang kalandian mo ha! Hindi na nakakatuwa." Nandidiring sabi ni Rhian. Well, you see, Rhian is not fond of boys. Na-trauma na kasi 'yan sa nangyari sa kanya noon, kaya hindi s'ya basta-basta nagtitiwala sa mga lalaki.

"Inggit ka lang ehh! Humanap ka rin ng lalandiin!" Hayss! Kahit kailan talaga ang dal'wang 'to oh!

"Tumigil na nga kayo! Uuwi na ako ah? Alas 3 na kasi baka nasa shed na si Eli, sa bahay n'ya kami ngayon eh." Paalam ko sa kanila. They gave me a mischievous look. Ano namang kababalaghan ang iniisip ng dalawang 'to aber?!

"What's with that look?" Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay, they just smirked.

"Sus! If I know kahit 'di ka na n'ya hintayin eh alam mo na ang daan papunta sa bahay ni Eli." Panunukso ni Rhian. My face heated, oo na 'diba nga? Stalker n'ya ako? Kaya ayan, halos lahat tungkol sa kanya alam ko. Halos lang naman hindi pa lahat, baka matakot na sa'kin si Eli pag inalam ko sa kanya lahat.

"Tigilan n'yo ako ha! Sige na aalis na ako." I bid my goodbye at dumiretso sa shed. I wasn't mistaken, nandito na nga si Eli, aish! Nakakahiya pinaghintay ko pa tuloy s'ya.

"Eli!" Tawag ko s'ya. He scowled at me. Uh-oh galit ba s'ya? Ikaw kasi Geordane ehh! Inuuna mo ang chika ayan tuloy! Bismud (Beast Mode) si Eli sa'yo!

"What took you so long? As far as I know your dismissal today was 2:00 and look what time is it, it's 3:05." Tsk, napasarap pala ako sa kwentuhan ng dalawng 'yon. Sa susunod oorasan ko na talaga ang sarili ko.

"Sorry! Nasa cafeteria ako kasama sina Rhian at Seven, napasarap kami sa Kwentuhan eh." Nahihiyang sabi ko. Totoo naman ang sinasabi ko.

"So, I have to wait for you here so that you can have a chitchat with your friends?"  I sighed. Ayan tuloy! Galit na.

"S-sorry Eli, nakalimutan ko kasi tsaka ginutom rin ako kaya umiglap ako sa cafeteria." Nahihiyang sabi ko.

"Tsk! Tara na nga." He commanded. I just nodded even though he didn't saw it. Nag-convoy kami papunta sa subdivision nina Eli. Maya-maya pa ay nakarating na kami sa kanilang bahay-- este mansion pala.

"Ate paki-handa po kami ng meryenda. Paki-hatid nalang po sa study room ko." Bungad niya sa kanilang katiwala.

"Okay po sir." Agad namang nagpunta ang babae sa kanilang kusina. Ang ganda talaga ng bahay nila. Hanggang sa labas lang kasi ako, nagmamasid. Oo na ako na ang stalker, walang makakapigil sa'kin eh! Hahaha!

"Hey?! What are you waiting for? Me to carry you on the way to my study room?"

"Yes... I-I mean Yes, susunod na ako." Ayy! Nakakainis! 'Yong bibig ko talaga walang preno. Agad akong sumunod sa kanya. Baka mawala pa ako dito sa mansyon nila. Pumasok kami sa isang double-door room.

"Take a seat. Sorry for the mess." He said apologetically.

"Okay lang." Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong room. Ang laki ng study room n'ya. Wala akong study room kasi mas prefer ko ang music room. May nakita naman akong grand piano dito study room n'ya.

"Here's my sketch." He gave me a sketch pad. I stared at it. Wow! Ang ganda naman! Kahit one-story house lang eh makikita mo pa rin ang pagiging engrande.

"Ang ganda!" I exclaimed. Oops! Did I shout it out? My face heated. I was supposed to keep that to myself. He smirked.

"I know right. I'll just go down to help Ate Dina carry our snacks." He didn't wait for my reply and immediately went out of the room. I place the sketch pad in his retro coffee table. I went near to the grand piano. I caressed the material with my fingers. I sat and started doing some beat until nakabuo ako ng familiar na tunog.

Elijah's POV

Paakyat na ako sa taas ng kwarto ng marinig ko ang tunog ng piano ko, teka? Si Geordane ba ang tumutunog no'n?? Maliban nalang kung may multo 'diba? Pero kahit sound proof ang walls namin ay rinig ko pa rin, siguro naka open ang pintuan. I went near the slightly opened door and she started singing

Say you're sorry

That face of an angel

Comes out just when you need it to

As I paced back and forth all this time

'Cause I honestly believe in you

Holding on

The days drag on

Stupid girl,

I should have known, I should have known

So totoo pala ang mga gossips about sa kanya na talented siya. They said that she's good in playing musical instruments, singing, arts, and dancing. I discovered two, the singing and playing musical instruments.

That I'm not a princess

This ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't hollywood

This is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you

And your white horse, to come around

I saw her smiling. Is it just me, or the song is reality dedicated to me? I'm not assuming, I just wonder because the song really suited to our situation right now.

Maybe I was naive,

Got lost in your eyes

And never really had a chance

My mistake I didn't know to be inlove

You had to fight to had the upper hand

I had so many dreams

About you and me

Happy endings

Now I know

She didn't know how to be inlove?? So does that mean, she's not sure if she loves me? Oh, come on Elijah! She didn't say she loves you. Wapa pa siyang sinasabi.

Are you expecting her to say I love you to you?

Shut up mind! Tsk. I'm crazy fighting with my inner conscience.

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you

And your white horse, to come around

Tsk! Why am I suddenly guilty? What was I'm guilty for? Not reciprocating her feelings. Kung pwede lang kanina ko pa tinapon ang parte ng utak ko na nangongonsensya. Argh! What was I supposed to do? To fool her? I'm not certainly gonna do that!

And there you are on your knees,

Begging for forgiveness, begging for me

Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

I saw her face full of tears. Sh1t! Did I hurt her that much? I didn't know that I'm hurting her. I thought she was not serious about me.

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well

I felt a pang of ache in my heart with that thought. Geez! What's happening to me?!

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

And it's too late for you and your white horse

Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Too late? Teka?! Ba't ko ba kinukumpara ang kanta sa sitwasyon naming dalawa ni Geordane? This is insane!

Oh, woah, woah, woah

Try and catch me now

Oh, it's too late

To catch me now

She heaved a long sigh and stood up. This time I went inside. Nangalay ang kamay ko may dala kasi akong tray ng juice. Hindi pa kasi tapos si Ate na gumawa ng burger eh.

"Uh, pinakialaman ko ang piano mo ah?" She smiled weakly. That ache again erlier came back. Gan'to rin ang naramdaman ko nung tinaboy ko siya the other day. I was on the verge of chasing her but I stopped myself because of an unknown reason. I really don't understand myself sometimes.

"It's fine. I didn't know that you can play piano and sing that well." I complimented. I thought I will see her blushed but she didn't. She just smiled at me shyly.

"'Diba nga? I invited you when we were in grade school na pumunta ka sa school's fest kasi kakanta ako do'n. As always, you refused. Tho, I'm used to it." I saw her smirk. Ooookay, what's happening??

"Uh, juice?" I offered to change the topic.

"Sure. Para makapag-simula na tayo after merienda, I forgot I have to meet Henry." She said and sat down in my leather sofa. My brows knit in curiosity I thought she loves-- likes me, now who's that f*****g Henry?!
