"Are you ok?" namalayan ko na lang ang sarili ko na nakaupo sa isang tabi. Aizren is with me, he brought me here.
"Y-Yeah," nagulat ako nang abutan niya ako ng cola at chips. "W-What is this for?" I asked, naupo naman siya sa tabi ko at tumitig sa view sa harap namin. He heaved a sigh and opened his bottle of cola too.
"You're scared," he whispered. "Your pupils dilated, your fists were curled, your muscles were tensed, and you were flinching." He added which made my forehead crease. "That son of a bitch!" he muttered,
Then I remembered what happened earlier.
Hindi naman sa takot ako na mahalikan o may gawin si Taubin sa akin. It's just that...
"I understand him," I whispered, which made him look at me.
"You... what?" he asked, I just smiled and looked at the view. Children playing on the road, flowers sprouting here and there, vendors selling some foods.
"No one can resist my beauty." I smirked, "Lalo pa at lasing siya, kagagaling lang sa breakup at nasasaktan. I can't blame him,"
"Are you nuts?!" may diing tanong niya, napangiti naman ako. "What if he did something more? Like, he did something inappropriate? What will others think of you? What will they think of him? What will be Pauline's reaction to that?" he asked,
Parang dumadaldal na siya ngayon, ah?
"I am scared of being the cause of his forlornness. Kasi kapag may nangyari sa kanya, wala akong ibang sisisihin kundi ang sarili ko." I bit my lip, ramdam ko ang titig niya sa akin kaya lakas-loob ko iyong hinarap. "Thank you so much," I smiled and held his hand above his knee, para naman siyang nakuryente. He flinched, natawa naman ako nang makita ang pagngiwi niya.
"Thank you for what?" he asked, ngumiti ako at huminga ng malalim.
"For saving me, if it wasn't you, he would gonna kiss me for sure." I chuckled, "Because I promised myself that I will make my first kiss memorable, and in order for it to be memorable, it must be for the person who gives me butterflies every now and then." I let go of his hand and put my chin above my palm. "I want my first kiss to be with the last person I will love." I added,
"You haven't got your first kiss?" napapaumis na tanong niya, umiling naman ako.
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked, he just shrugged.
"Malay ko? Maybe you already had it with that guy in the mall." He shrugged again, agad namang namilog ang mata ko dahil doon.
"Oyy! Hindi, ah?!" I exclaimed which made him chuckle. His almond eyes narrowed as he chuckle,
Wait---he chuckled?
A villain like him chuckled?!
He stopped chuckling, he cleared his throat first before fixing his composure.
"Stop staring," he commanded but I still stared at him. "Yah! Shanice!" he called my name, I just smiled.
"Basta, thank you talaga." I muttered, "What's with you today? Bakit ang bait mo?" tanong ko habang binubuksan ang soda. "Tapos na ba yung dalaw mo?" I asked,
"Dalaw my ass!" he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Cute mong ngumiti, you should smile often." I said, nagulat ako nang bigla siyang tumayo. "Hoy!"
"I'll leave you there, you're starting to speak nonsense." He said, natawa naman ako at tumakbo para sundan siya. We walked side-by-side while I am eating chips.
