Peace Minus You

"I'm just kidding," I awkwardly laughed. 

Honestly, I'm not kidding.

Nilayo ko ang aking sarili sa kaniya. Nakakunot-noo niya akong tiningnan. Badtrip na ata talaga siya. Napakamot ako sa aking batok.

"I truly missed you, though," I pouted at her.

"Oh, kiss me," She pouted too. What? Really?

I smirked and moved closer to her face. Akmang lalayo siya pero mas mabilis ako. I kissed her forehead. Iniiwas niya ang tingin sa akin.

Tuluyan akong tumayo matapos gawin iyon. May mga tao nga pala sa paligid. I patted Pochi's head. It made her look up to me. She's blushing. Pretty.

"Where are you going after?" tanong ko.

Nagkibit siya ng balikat. Bumalik ako sa aking pagkakaupo para makaharap siya nang maayos.

"I will tell you something," I looked at her eyes intently.

Tumango lang siya sa akin. Per iniiwas ang tingin. I chuckled slighty.

"Look at me first," I demanded while chuckling.

She bit her lower lip before looking at me. I stopped my chuckle and turned into a serious mode.

"I like you, Pochi. I really, really, really like you." Diretsahan kong sambit.

"Eh?" ngibit niyang tanong.

"I said I like you." Magkatitigan pa rin kaming dalawa.

"Eh?" tanong niya kahit nakangiti na.

"I like you, Pochi." Ulit kong muli.

She nodded slowly. "Okay."

What? Okay?

"Huh?" it's my turn to question her. What's with okay?
