I'm Just Wild About, Yvonne

Chapter Four

Third Person's PoV

Connor knows to himself that he's not thinking straight already.

Kaya ang lakas ng loob niyang magsabi ng nararamdaman niya para kay Yvonne.

"W-what?," tanong ni Yvonne at bakas sa mukha niya ang gulat.

Also, Yvonne, she's tipsy already.

Connor laughed bitterly, "Honestly, I don't like you," He said.

Natawa si Yvonne, "I don't know what you're saying. Seconds ago, you told me you like me. Then now-"

Her world faded when Connor kissed her. Wala na rin siya sa tamang pag-iisip.

She kissed him back.

Si Connor ang unang tumigil, "Yvonne, I don't like you anymore. I love you. Since the day we met. Ikaw lang minahal ko," He said while their forehead are touching each other.

"You don't have to love me back that quick. I respect your decision. I will court you if I will. I will do anything for you just to be mine, Yvonne," Connor said while still holding unto her cheeks.

He chuckled, "Ano ba 'tong ginagawa ko. Why am I still telling you what I'm feeling towards you when I know you can't love me back-"

Nahigit niya ang kaniyang hininga nang dumukwang si Yvonne upang siya'y halikan muli.

Of course! wala na siyang nagawa.

It's this feeling that whenever Yvonne kisses him, He will be lost. Like he doesn't know what to do.

Kaya nama'y mas pinalalim niya pa ang kanilang paghahalikan at pina-upo na si Yvonne sa kanyang kandungan.

Minutes later, they continued it inside his room and eat their faces off.

Dumating si Fifth at Szymon sa Condo ng 6AM.

Ang dahilan ni Fifth ay kukuha siya ng damit at uuwi ulit sa bahay ng mga magulang niya. Si Szymon nama'y pinauwi na ng mga magulang niya at isasabay na si Connor papasok dahil baka ma-late nanaman.

Pagpasok na pagpasok nila'y nakita nila ang alak sa center table ng sofa at dalawang baso na 'di pa gaanong ubos ang laman.

Nagkatinginan sila, "Oh, f*ck," sabi nila at dali-daling kumatok si Szymon sa kwarto ni Amber.

"Amber," tawag ni Szymon at binuksan ang pinto. Nakita niya naman na tulog pa si Amber.

"Asan si Yvonne?," tanong ni Fifth habang naglilibot ng paningin.

Tumikhim si Szymon, "Okay. They're f*cked. REALLY F*CKED," sabi niya at dali-dali namang kumatok sa kwarto ni Connor.

Connor's PoV

I woke up with a freaking headache. 'di lang sakit, sobrang sakit ng ulo ko. Buti nalang at laging may stock dito sa bedside table ko na advil.

"Morning," Bati ni Yvonne at lumapit sakin upang halikan ako.

I kissed her back.

I laughed, "Are you still drunk?" I asked.

She chuckled and placed a small peck on my lips, "I'm perfectly fine Con. Ikaw ang mag-alala dy'an. You still have culinary school,"

I groaned, "Ahh! f**k. Oo nga pala,"

"If you want to be with me, you can fail your classes and stay here with me and Amber," she said while smiling.

"Are you seducing me?" I asked while laughing.

"Is it working?" she asked also.

I was about to tickle her when-

"Connor! Connor! f*ck! We still have classes today! are you out of your mind?!," singhal ni Szy, "Sana mamaya niyo nalang ginawa 'yan. Walang pasok bukas,"

"Okay, coming," sagot ni Yvonne which made me laugh.

"T*ngina, Yvonne! Anong ginagawa mo r'yan?," sabi ni Szy kaya naman natawa kami pareho.

"See you later. Always lock the door, okay?" I said.

"Okay," she answered and I kissed her forehead.

Ako nama'y naligo na.

Paglabas ko ng banyo, wala na si Yvonne sa kwarto ko. Baka nasa labas na.

Nagbihis na ako at lumabas na. "Anong oras na?" Tanong ko habang nagsa-sapatos.

"Nearly 6:50," Sagot ni Fifth.

Szymon sighed, "Mga siraulo kayo. Anong nalang sasabihin ni Amber kung siya unang nakita sa inyo? Goodness," pangaral ni Szy.

"Ano po 'yun, kuya Szy?" Tanong ni Amber.

"Oh, alin? Si Kuya Connor at ate Yvonne mo? Wala. Nag-scrabble lang sila," Sagot ni Szy.

"Well, I think there's nothing wrong with playing scrabble. Right, kuya Con?," Amber said

Tumikhim muna ako, "Y-yeah. Anyways, dito lang kayo ha. Una na kami," I said and kissed Amber and Yvonne on their foreheads.

Nagpaalam na rin si Fifth sa amin at susunduin pa raw niya si Mackenzie. Kami naman ni Szymon ay sumakay na sa sasakyan niya at siya na ang nag-drive.

"I was about to ask you, 'Nasabi mo na ba mga nararamdaman mo kay Yvonne' but then nakita ko nga pala kayong MAGKATABI SA IISANG KAMA," puno ng sarkasmo na sabi ni Szy at pinagdiinan pa ang dulong salita.

Natawa naman ako, "We're drunk, okay?" I said.

Napa-preno naman siya bigla dahilan para masubsob ako ng kaunti sa dashboard, "T*ngina?!"

"Hanggang ngayong umaga lasing kayo? Nako wag ako, Connor De Keere the third," sabi niya.

I sighed, "So, what kung hindi? Besides, I already confessed to her," Sabi ko at umayos ng upo.

"Whatever," ungos niya at nagsimula na ulit mag-drive.

Sobrang boring. Gusto ko na talagang umuwi. 'Di ko din alam bakit gusto ko ng umuwi. Nakayanan ko ngang wala si Yvonne ng three years ngayon pa kayang, four to five hours lang? Kaya ko 'to. Connor, laban lang.

"Earth to Con," bulong ni Szy sa 'kin.

"Wag mo 'ko demonyohin. Nakikinig ako," bulong ko habang nakatingin sa demonstration ng prof. namin.

He laughed, "Asus! Nakikinig daw," nginisihan lang niya ako at nag-take down na ng notes.

"Okay. That's all for today. Sa isang araw, demo niyo naman kaya mag-aral kayo para sa demo. De Keere and Osborne, next week nalang ang research niyo. Class dismissed,"pagkasabi non ng prof. o instructor namin ay nag-alisan naman na ang mga tao.

Kami naman ni Szymon ay dumiretso na sa kotse at nagdrive na pauwi.

"Tara inom mamaya," yaya ni Szymon habang ang tingin ay nasa daan pa rin.

"G*go. Walang kasama yung kapatid ko," sabi ko.

Tumunog naman ang message notification ng cellphone ko, kaya tinignan ko kung sino ang nag-message,

Yvonne: Pauwi na ba kayo?

Yun lamang ang chinat niya sa akin.

Me: yeah bakit?

Ilang minuto pa bago siya mg-reply ulit.

Yvonne: I'm a bit dizzy. Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Me: sure sige. on the way naman na kami.

'Di ko na siya chinat ulit at sinabihan si Szymon na bilisan ang pag-drive dahil baka kung ano na nangyari kila Amber.

Pagdating nama'y 'di ko sila nakita pareho sa sala kaya dumiretso ako sa kwarto nila at duon ko siyang nakitang natutulog. Si Amber naman ay mukhang nag-aalala.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Ate Yvonne was cleaning the top of the cabinet. Then, 'di niya napansin na may flower pot pala doon. Then, bumagsak sa ulo ni Ate yung flower vase," Amber explained.

"Pumunta na kaya tayo ng hospital? Kasi what if it's a serious case," suggest ni Szy.

"Ready the car. Ako na mag-drive," I said at naging aligaga naman si Szymon at hila-hila si Amber.

Ako naman ay naiwan dito kasama si Yvonne, "Yvonne," tawag atensyon ko sa kaniya.

"Hey, you're here," sabi niya habang minamasahe ang sentido.

"Come on, let's go to the hospital," sabi ko habang inaalalayan siyang makatayo.

"She has mild concussion from the accident. Nothing to worry about. I could prescribe pain relievers pero useless din 'yon kung gagalaw siya ng gagalaw. Much better if rest lang muna sa bahay," the doctor explained, "Sige, maiwan ko muna kayo,"

"Sige po, doc. Salamat po," I said.

Szymon sighed, "Labas muna kami ni Amber," He said and exited the scene.

Kami naman ni Yvonne ang naiwan sa loob ng kwarto.

I can't see her like this. Lying on a hospital bed with a bandage on her head and medical stuff connected to her body.

"Hey," tawag atensyon niya sa akin. 'Di ko namalayan na nagising na pala siya.

I held her hand, "Are you feeling okay now? F*ck, Pinag-alala mo 'ko," I said.

She chuckled, "I'm okay now. And sorry pala kasi naabala ko pa kayo,"

"No problem, Yvonne. Buti nga at duon ka condo nagka-ganito, eh. Pa'no kung sa condo unit mo ikaw nagkaganito? Eh, 'di walang andoon para tumulong sa 'yo," I said.

"Thank you, Con," she said and held my hand tighter.

I smiled at her, "Sabi ni Doc, magpahinga ka raw. Wag ka munang pumasok baka ma-pa'no ka pa,"

She sighed, "Ok," she replied and I kissed her hand.

"Connor," tawag niya sa 'kin kaya tumingin naman ako agad sa kaniya, "hmm?"

She looks she didn't want to say it but in the end, she told me, "Are you courting me?"

And there I was dumbfounded. 'Di ko alam gagawin ko. Simula ng may mangyari sa 'min ay 'di na namin napagusapan. We just acted like a married couple right away.

"If you want to, I would gladly do it," I said.

She chuckled, "Of course," she said and smiled.

"Tapos na dramahan niyo?" Singit ni Szymon na nakapasok na pala sa loob ng room at hawak sa pulsohan si Amber.

"Ate Yvonne, are you feeling okay? I was worried a while ago," Amber frowned.

"I'm okay already. Inaalagan na ako ni kuya mo, eh," she said.

"Grabe na banatan mo ibon ha, tara nga dito banatan lang kita saglit," Biro ni Szymon kaya nama'y natawa kami lahat, "By the way, ok na 'yung discharge papers. Makakauwi na tayo," wika ni Szy.

"Ok. That's nice," Yvonne said and tried to stand up.

"Yvonne, wag ka raw galaw ng galaw para 'di ka mahilo," Sabi ko.

"Paano ako makakalakad, aber?" tanong niya.

"Szy, kumuha ka ng wheelchair," utos ko.

"Connor, I'm not disabled. I have a concussion and hindi naman malala I can talk and think clearly already," she explained.

"Still, you have a concussion. So, sit still and I will take care of you okay?" tanong ko at tumango lang siya habang nakasimagot.

Pagbalik namin ng condo, natulog na siya agad kaya naman kami muna ni Szymon ang magbabantay kay Amber.
