IRIS KRISTEN LEWIS
"Aray!" Inis na sigaw ko ng may tumampal sa noo ko. Tinignan ko kung sino yun at bumungad sakin ang naka busangot na mukha ni Zev habang naka krus ang mga braso "You came sleepy head" kunwari'y namamanghang sabi ko "So what do you want?" He sound irritated that makes me wanna tease him more.
"Let's go to the mall" He looked at me with amusement "So you wanna date me now?, porket nagliligawan ang mga kaibigan natin ay hindi ibig sabihin non liligawan din kita" napa irap nalang ako sa magaling nyang imagination "Who says I wanna date you, I'd rather live alone forever. I need your help to buy these at the mall, dont be so full of yourself" iniabot ko sakanya ang mahabang listahan ng kakailanganin ko para sa Science project.
"What the hell is this? Wires? Cables?" I sighed and handed him a blueprint "This is what Im going to do for our Science project. Im going to invent a little Jarvis"
"Little Jarvis? As in like the one Iron man has?" I nod as an answer "How smart are you Iris?"
"Very" kinuha ko ang bag ko saka sumenyas sakanya na sundan ako "Tsk cocky" Napahinto ako sa paglalakad saka sya tinignan "I was just answering your question"
"Well can you atleast be humble?" I let out a small laugh and spoke as I turned "Believe me, Im everything but humble" With a smirk on my lips, I continued walking until I saw the guard who's standing. Kinausap ko sya sandali para makalabas kami and Im glad that it went successfull. Guards here in our school are pretty strict and always stick to the rules kaya mahihirapan ka talagang pa sunurin sila, but not me. I have my ways.
10 minute drive lang ang mall mula sa school. Wala narin kaming natitira pang class kaya hindi namin kailangang mag madali "Ang dami naman nito" reklamo nya habang tinitignan ang listahan "Isang tingin palang nakakapahod na at isa pa, bakit kailangan mo ng pliers? Wala kabang tools?"
"I left it at home" hindi ko parin iniiwas ang tingin ko sa dinaraanan ng sasakyan kahit nag uusap kami. It's for safety. "God It's tiring"
"The heck?! We haven't started and your tired already?" I cant believe this man "Im not like you okay, I get tired easily and I have a low blood sugar"
"Here eat this" I handed him some a box of candies. Lagi akong nagbabaon nito lalo na pag klase, palihim akong kumakain tuwing nag di-discuss ang Lec. "Why do you have many candies?"
"Believe it or not, eating candies makes me calm" Pagka rating namin sa parking lot ay hindi kami nahirapang humanap ng parking spot dahil konti lang din naman ang naka parada. "So you have a sweet tooth?"
"Not really, I don't like to eat anything sweets except for candies" sabay kaming bumaba ng sasakyan at nag lakad sa mismong entrance ng mall "Sa hardware muna tayo" tumango lang sya at sumunod sakin.
Matapos naming bilhin lahat ng nasa listahan ay napansin ko namang nanghina sya "Wanna have some fun?" hindi ko na sya hinintay na mag salita at hinila sya papunta sa sikat na Confectionery Shop, they sell the best candies and sweets I've ever tasted.
"Woah" manghang sabi nya habang tinitignan ang mga candies na nasa display. "What are are you waiting for? Let's go in" bago ko pa sya mahila ay pinigilan nya ako. "Your not kidding right?" Naka pamewang ko syang tinignan
"Kakaladkarin ba kita dito kung nag bibiro ako?" Puno ng sarkasmong tugon ko. "Tsk naninigurado lang" saka sya naunang tumakbo papasok ng shop.
I smiled secretly, there's a part of me that makes me feel that I'm happy as long as he is too.
Tahimik ko syang sinundan habang sya naman ay parang batang nag eenjoy kaka-pili ng candies. "Susunod kanalang ba sakin at tititigan ako? Wala kabang gusto? I thought your obsessed with candies?" Sunod sunod na tanong nya. Naka krus ang braso ko habang nilalapitan sya.
"I never said I was obsessed with candies but — if you say so" kinuha ko ang dalawampu't isang box ng magkaparehong candies saka nilagay sa cart "That many? And it's the same candy?."
"That's my favorite, may mga desserts din sila" His smiles grew wider and started walking towards the dessert & pastry section. Bumili sya ng tig iisang slices ng cake na meron sila. "Blue berry cheesecake is the best" aniya habang nilalasap ang lasa ng cake na hawak nya.
"It's almost six pm, let's go back" he nod without even looking at me, he's busy eating his cakes. Bumuntong hininga ako habang pinigilan ang mga ngiti kong nag babadyang kumawala.
Sinadya kong bagalan ang pag mamaneho para mapagmasdan ko muna sya habang kumakain. Ilang sandali pa ay may naramdaman kong bumibigat ang braso ko and when I check it out — I saw him peacefully sleeping. I stopped the car and took my phone out of my pocket. I tried my best not to move too much so that i wont wake him up. I slowly took a picture of him and before he wakes up, I put my phone back and continued driving.
Kahit nag mamaneho ako ay paminsan minsan ko syang sinusulyapan. Napansin kong hawak-hawak nya parin ang cake na kanina ay kinakain nya. I let out a chuckle while caressing his hair.
"Sleepyhead" unti-unti nyang iminulat ang mata nya saka nakipag titigan sakin. Sinasabi ng isip ko na tigilan na ang kakatitig sa anghel na ito pero hindi gumagalaw ang katawan ko.
Nakita ko syang napalunok dahilan para magising ang diwa ko saka ibinalik ang atensyon sa daan. "Why were you staring at me?" I didn't look at him to hide my nervousness. I don't onow why Im feeling nervous since it was just an eye contact but my heart keeps palpitating for no reason
"You were the one who placed your head on my shoulder" I tried to sound calm just like I used to but I cant help but let out a deep breath.
I hate to say this but damn, this is the first time my heart beat faster than usual and the worst part is its beating because of a man.
