Hey! My name is....
Wait. I can't tell you what my real name is.
That would spoil everything.
Let me do it again.
Hey! My name is Fall. *Yeah i like that one better.*
Fall because i was born on september. Well life's not interesting for me.
Until...
Ive meet these two amazing people in my life.
Spring and Winter.
*Hey. Dont judge me i love the 4 seasons of the year. Ive been living in Seattle for 10 years now.*
Anyways...
Spring. I met her last march. Palaban. Yung tipong On the Go Lang. And not the typical girl you might think.
And
Winter. I met him last december. Bad boy looks. Medyo suplado at first pero super sweet when you get to know him. Divorce yung parents nya. Rebel ba ka mo? D naman. Slight lang.
And they're both my favorite people in this world. And i dont know what i would do if i lost them. *huhubels*
They're both not judgmental. That's why i love them both.
Spring has curly long brown hair, such lovely green eyes. The one you cant stop staring at.
Winter has short blonde hair, you could melt on those puppy blue eyes. *keleg much si aco*
Okay how did i met them...
I met winter at a book store. It was a cold night. Snow was coming.
I went inside the store to buy Romeo & Juliet. *Yeah iam a hopeless romantic*
When i was about to read the first page.
Someone from behind said:
"Oops! Bad choice if i say. i dont want to spoil you but they both died in the end."
"Excuse me??"
"Hi! My name's winter! And u are?"
"Why ruin a good book just to make a fool of yourself? Are u always that? So..."
"So what?" He cut me off.
"Full of yourself?" I said annoyed.
"Huh." Smirking at me like a fool.
And i went on with my way. Uggh! I totally forgot about the book. When i was half way i turned around hoping to see that he's not there so i can get the book. But he was still there standing and smiling like a fool.
Jerk!
So i went outside. Oh myyy!! Im freezing! I forgot to bring my scarf. Good thing i have my coat.
I heard shouting from behind me. When i turn around it was him! Shouting.
"Hey miss! Heyy! Wait up!!"
I immediately walk as fast as i can.
God! Why did i wear heels on this kind of weather? Ughh!
I stopped because my feet hurts and i was exhausted. Feww! So this jerk catched up with me.
When he touch my shoulder i was on karate mode.
"Woah! Easy! Look. Im here to apologize what i did inside. I know i was a little bit of a dick."
"A little bit??" I protested.
"Haha. You're right i was a dick."
"Dick." I reapeated his word. Raising my left eyebrow.
"You know i can report you to the police for.."
"For spoiling an ending for a book?" he cut me.
"No. For following me."
Looking angry at him. He handed me a brown bag.
"Here. Your book." I took it from him.
"Thank u for spoiling the ending jerk." I said.
"Haha! No problem. By the way my name's not jerk. Its winter." Flashing those white teeth at me.
"Whatever!"
"Do u want to have coffee with me?"
"Coffee with u?" with this guy who is a full of himself. No way.
"Yeah with me. Who else do you see?” Laughing. A real philosopher. Such a tease.
"I kid. You know... To lessen a little trouble from u... Please?"
Well coffee's nice in this kind of weather. So i would say yes.
He opened the door. Like a gentleman. He's doing this because he has done something. What an a...
Okay. Once we were inside the coffee shop. We went to the counter to buy our coffee. He asked what i like. I look at the menu. Uggh. So many coffee. Which is which? This looks nice.
"Ill have Caramel Macchiato."
"Nice choice. Ill have Caffè Americano."
He said while smiling at me.
We were seated near the glass window.
While waiting for our coffe I opened the brown bag. When i was about to read the first page of the book. He asked. Again. He disturbed me. Such annoyance.
"Why Romeo & Juliet?"
Dang! I was about to read it. Really??
"Excuse me??" Puzzled by his question.
"I mean why not Fifty Shades of Grey. Me Before You. Twilight? Nicolas Sparks books"
Huh. A guy like him knows his books. This looks interesting.
"So... You read books?"
"No." There was silence for a second. He continued. "They are my life!" He said those words like shouting.
"So you tell me that a guy like you love books and drinks coffee?"
"Yep pretty much. Books and coffee go well. Don't you agree?"
"How bout you?"
"Well... *I should be at home reading not talking to you.* I love books too."
"What category of book do you like to read?"
"Love to read. *He corrected me.* Well im into crime, mystery and thriller. They are all tragic to read at first but when you're at the middle. Everything gets interesting that u just cant keep ur hands off."
"Romance on the side. But if one is dying or im at the edge of my seat because of the story. Im out. I would stop for a few minutes and cry at the side."
"Kidding!" He laughed.
"But i do love romance. But i dont like novels which a woman keeps on chasing a man for he's on mistake. Like really?? Chase a man?? Even though you knew something was up and you still love him for that? I dont like woman to be treated like shit. They should be love and be taken care of."
Woah. Didnt know he was this romantic. I kinda like this version of him.
We talk about science. Yep he's pretty smart. Not just smart. Intelligent and wise. I dont believe it either.
And other things beside books. Like what our interests are. Food. We dont forget food. And what we want in life to achieve while sipping our coffee.
Yep those kind of things. They were nice. He was nice. And the place was nice too. Everything was nice.
We got into a interesting topic. Love. For me its nothing. What's so interesting about it?? So I go on like.
"What so interesting about love?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" He made himself burn from his coffee.
"You know people would be so happy talking about it. And the pitch of their voices changes when they are talking about what their boyfriend did last night. Like is that even normal?" Fast talking and Annoyed.
"Woah! Easy there! You'll get older so fast because of the freckles on your forehead. Haha" Laughing.
I smiled. Get to think of it. Im such bitter. Why so?
"Im just annoyed."
"Of their voice that changes pitch?"
"No. Of what they talk about. Like they really found their 'One True Love'. Like whateves!"
"What did he do?"
Looking at him curiously. Like what? What does he know?
"Did you found out he got another girl in an alley?"
Huh. This guy is such a psych. What kind of sorcery do he have?
"Actually it was a guy."
"Uh! Ouch! Thats such a bummer."
"They've been secretly meeting for 3 years." And we were together for 4 years."
"My friend told me. But i keep on defending him, denying what I heard from my friends. But i want to know if its real and its from him."
"I went to his mini show band. Told him i couldnt come. But i did it purposely."
"When his band finish playing. I was going to surprise him. So i followed him were he lead me to the alley."
"I was the one who was surprise. They had a smoke for a while. When i was near they were locking lips."
"I didnt know what to say. I was. I was shocked. So i said. "When? When was this?""
"He just keeps on saying "Babe im sorry. Let me explain." I just keep on asking him when. And didn't listen to his bullshit. Until he told me they were seeing for 3 years."
"When i was about to leave he grabbed my hand. I told him to let go and never to talk to me again."
"So that was it. I never saw him and his boyfriend."
"Woah. That was something. I hope you're okay." he said.
"Im okay. It was so long.
This feels strange..."
"Strange?" His brows questioned.
"Telling this to a guy that i just met."
"Nah. Its all good. With all the trouble i did earlier."
"Thanks anyways."
"For what?"
"For this *raising the book* and be able to talk to someone."
"No biggy. Happy to be your acquaintance." Smiling.
"But i dont pity you by the way."
What's this?
"Why is that so?"
"Because you're strong... Your not like the books where the girl stays for the boy's mistake. I admire your braveness. We need more woman like you. And im happy to met you."
"Im fluttered. No one has ever told me like that. And its strange coming from a guy that I just met. But still thankful."
He smiled. And i smiled. I felt my cheeks turn read. This is strange. But i kinda like it.
So thats winter.
I met spring at a music store.
