Are We Just Friends? ( Chapter 22)

* HER NEW LOVE LIFE * 
 
 It has been quite a while when she stayed in U.S. At weekends, Tee and her would go for dinner or sometimes shopping. She message Fretz, Ann, Bret, Ian and Sam sometimes but definitely not DD. Today she was preparing for their dinner outside.

 Unti-unti na ring nahuhulog ang loob niya kay Tee. Kahit noon, may nararamdaman rin siya rito. Pero hindi niya talaga ito pinansin dahil sa studies niya. Kay DD lang niya talaga napagtanto na nagmamahal na pala siya.

News:

Taylor Lautner and a non-hollywood star have been seen dating so many times. They were seen eating and shopping together. The girl was said to be a Filipina. Heiress of the great Silverpine Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. They have been seen sweet. Pictures are also seen around the internet. Are they really a couple?

" My gosh! pang-sampung beses na ata ito..." sabi ni MM pagkatapos patayin ang t.v.

DING DONG! DING DONG!

" Oh its maybe Tee." sabi niya bigla.

She quickly got her purse. Put her phone in it.

She looked at the mirror.

" Hmmm, maganda nga itong dress ko ngayon."  she said to herself.

Her maid knocked at her door.

" Miss Em, Taylor Lautner is here." sabi ng maid.

" Okay po, bababa na rin po ako." sabi niya.

" Tee, are we ready to go?" tanong niya.

Si Tee na nakayuko, tumingala at napanganga.

Natawa si Em.

" Hey, are we going or not?" natatawang tanong niya.

" U-uh yes of course!" nauutal na sabi ni Tee.

" Well let's go!" masaya niyang sabi.

Nagulat si Em. Tee told her they were going to eat in the city. But, why are they heading the hills?

" Tee, where are we going?" curious niyang tanong.

Ngumiti ito. " You are about to see."

" Tee, I thought we are going to have dinner in the city? Why are we going up the hills?" kabadong tanong niya.

" Don't be scared. I wanted to take you here even before. But I have no chance. Because you need to go back in the Philippines." sabi nito.

Huminto ang kotse, nasa taas na sila ng hills. Nakita ni MM ang lights ng syudad mula sa taas ng hills. She always wanted to see a view like that.

" Em, let's go." aya sa kanya ni Tee.

They were walking. Following the lights on her path.

Tee really knows her.

She liked what she is seeing. She liked the lights on her paths.

They followed the path and saw some more lights but this time, iba na...

It was floating in the air.

" Wow! I love those lights!" turo niya sa mga nagflo-float na lanterns.

" That's why I decided to take you here MM." masayang sabi ni Tee.

" Awww, thank you!" hinug niya si Tee.

" There's more Em... Let's go!" aya sa kanya ni Tee.

" Where are we going?" curios na tanong ni MM.

" We are going to see more floating lanterns" sabi ni Tee.

" O-okay." sabi ni MM.

They were still walking she is watching the floating lanterns go up in the dark sky.

This whole thing Tee is doing for her is so romantic for her.

She is so happy.

Then they arrived in a private resto.

" I booked for us two here. I like this resto and paparazzi cannot enter. Don't worry." sabi ni Tee.

The waiter gave them their food.

Sarap na sarap kumain si MM.

Nagkwekwento naman si Tee tungkol sa trabaho niya.

Nagulat si MM ng biglang may tumunog na voilins.

" Em, I've been planning this for a long time." sabi ni Tee.

" What do you mean?" medyo nate-tense na sabi ni MM.

He clapped softly.

Then...

A Heart shaped-lantern began to go down from the sky.

" Em, I've been keeping this for a long time. I wanted to tell you that I love you. I love you. You are the only girl that made me feel like this. I love you MM." Tee said.

The heart lantern went down.

MM stand and saw something in the lantern.

A picture of her and Tee together.

Then a saying, " I love you MM"

It twisted and saw something again.

" Will you be my girl?"

It says.

" Will you be my girl MM?" Tee repeated.

She turned.

Almost teary-eyed.

She never expected him to be inlove with her.

She never expected someone would to something like this romantic for her.

She felt so happy.

" Yes!" masaya niyang sabi.

She loved him. She learnt to. But her love for him was not greater than the love she felt for DD.

Maybe it can grow by giving him a chance.

Tee was very happy. She hugged her tight.

Because of happiness he suddenly kissed her.

MM was shocked.

Tee realised what he did. He was about to back off when MM kissed him back.

After the kiss, MM blushed.

Tee hugged her again.

" I love you..." she said.

" I love you more." he said
