We spent the time talking about his and Epicenter's adventures for years of being a band, it was very entertaining that I didn't mind the time.
Parang nakilala ko siya agad sa ilang oras na kasama siya dahil sa mga kuwento niya. I heard about his favorites, his hobbies, pet peeves and his other talents—he could cook because his mom forced him to learn so he wouldn't be ignorant in the kitchen, his favorite dish was Bulalo and he loves street foods but kwek-kwek and fried isaw have the most special place in his heart.
I just got confused when he said he hates cocky people so much and he couldn't stand them... why does he like Hesperus?
But whatever.
"Hindi ka pa ba babalik?" tanong ko nang makitang humikab na naman siya.
Sumulyap siya. "Babalik ka na ba?"
I shrugged my shoulders, he copied me then chuckled.
"Then, I'll stay here for a while."
I just sighed.
"Ayos na ba 'yong mood mo?" tanong niya. "Hindi ka na bored at badtrip?"
"Thanks to your big mouth full of stories," I simply retorted as I hugged myself to rub my both arms to heat up. The wind was really cold here.
"No problem. I wanted to share them, you know, just little facts about me and Epicenter." He laughed with rasp as he glanced at me. "Baka sipunin ka rito, gusto mo ba ikuha kita ng jacket?"
Kumunot ang noo ko nang magkatinginan kami.
"Babalik din ako agad."
"No need, I can take it."
"Heto na lang shirt ko?" he offered, slightly lifting his sleeve.
I looked at him in disgust. "You were so sweaty and it just dried on your body. Baka lalo pa akong sipunin diyan."
Humagalpak siya sa tawa at agad inamoy ang sariling shirt.
"Mabango pa rin naman, a? Try mo amuyin, oh!" umamba siyang lalapit habang nakangisi.
Seryoso ba siya? Parang tanga talaga 'to. Pawis na pawis siya kanina, hindi siya mukhang mabaho pero ang weird noon kung io-offer niya pa iyon kahit mabango pa.
I lifted my palm to stop and warn him with a glare, he laughed loudly.
"Sensya na, nagbibiro lang naman kasi ako. Masyado kang seryoso, Madam Sorcha, e. Hindi ko naman ipapasuot 'tong pinagpawisan ko, hindi ako dugyot."
"Tss, funny."
He bit his bottom lip with his upper teeth and scrunched his nose as if he was eager to do something but ended up shaking his head and said. "Cute mo talaga, sarap mong pisilin sa cheeks!"
Umismid ako. Bakit hindi niya magawa? Napatikhim ako sa isip at iniwas agad ang tingin. Here's also my out of nowhere thought again.
Natahimik lang ang oras noong sumandal siya sa log bench at pumikit ang mga mata. He must be so sleepy so I let him in silence, I was just watching the waves—hitting the shore.
Another night that he made me feel better, huh?
I could feel the lightness in my chest now, I almost forgot Forest's stupid accusations because of his ways to give me a good mood.
After some minutes of silence, I glanced at him; his nape was on the log bench now and his head was slowly falling with parted lips.
He must be so exhausted. My lips curled a bit while watching him because he looks like an innocent baby in a big frame. I was about to put my hand carefully on the back of his head so it wouldn't hurt but I saw a silhouette coming.
