Arrows by You (The U's #1)

Thirty

"Come here."

Archie said as he pulled me towards him. Nakaupo siya sa likod ng pick-up nila, while I'm standing between his legs.

When he saw my eyes awhile ago, he immediately felt sorry.

"Silly, hindi lang ikaw iniyakan ko but you've forgiven me already, wala nang bawian," sabi ko sa kaniya habang yakap niya ako while his hands are caressing my hair.

Lumayo ako sa kaniya saglit, it gave me a time to scan him. He's wearing a green La Salle hoodie, black gym shorts, and Gucci slides. Galing ata sa training.

I told him everything that he missed out last week, even what happened inside Mommy's office earlier today.

"Hmm.. Is that why my baby cried?" He said softly said, comforting me, my head was on his shoulder while we're just looking at the stars.

Actually, this became our go-to dates if we're not around Taft. Kapag pupunta siya rito sa bahay or sa Laguna ng gabi para bumisita, our dates will be at the back of his pick-up.

He already bought a comforter for our second time kasi super nag-enjoy kami, especially at night, we're just stargazing while talking about things. Lalo na't malapit lang ang Laguna sa Tagaytay, we would always escape by midnight 'til sunrise.

"Next time, you tell me all the things that's happening with you. Nakakatampo lang na you didn't bother telling me, I felt really useless. Para akong display lang tapos gagamitin kapag masaya ka," he seriously said while reaching for my hands.

"I promise and I realized that now but don't think that way, please," I softly said and took my chance to taste his lips.

I cupped his face and sucked his bottom lips in a sensual manner.

"I miss you," sabi ko nang pakawalan ko siya. He just hummed as a response.

"Kain na tayo," aya ko na sa kaniya.

Nandito lang naman kami sa tapat ng bahay namin, mayroon kasing malaking space ng land dito. Hindi pa napapatayuan ng bahay.

"I heard you went to Poblacion," sabi ko kay Archie habang ngumunguya ng Quesadilla from Taco Bell.

"Yeah, birthday ni Jacob, 'yung teammate ko sa La Salle na mas bata. I just greeted him and drink three shots, umuwi rin ako after I saw your sister," he explained and clicked his tongue.

"And, I saw Kuya Timo's video on IG, you were sprinting because you were kinda late?" Kwento ko ulit sa kaniya.

He stopped for a moment before chuckling, "Ah, umuwi kasi ako rito that time."

"Sa bahay niyo?" I asked after finishing my food.

"Yup," he said in a serious tone. We continued eating, mayroon pa kasing Fries at Burrito.

"I remembered our last conversation! Hindi ka na lang sana nag-reply kung gan'on din sasabihin mo," I complained some more. Paano ba naman kasi, super cold ng reply niya!

"What? I told you to take care!" Natatawa niyang sabi habang ngumunguya.

I slapped his arms and pouted, he pulled me closer towards him and sexily chuckled.

We talked some more but it's already getting cold outside and also, it's already midnight.

"Text me when you got home, okay?" I dropped a kiss on his lips before walking away.

He started the engine right away when I entered our house.

Nag-shower na ulit ako at nakapagpalit ng damit nang maka-receive ako ng message galing kay Archie.
