Her Stormy Seasons (Vitality Series #1) | ✓

I was still thinking of what happened last night. Kunwari naniniwala siya? What does it mean?

Looks like he's really confident that I like him. Masyado ba talaga akong halata?

Do I really like him?

I am afraid that maybe I gave him hints without even considering doing so. What if he got confused with my actions?

What if this confusion was only driven by how fascinating I am to the idea of having him around?

What if I only see him platonically?

Or do I really want to be romantically involved with Demiel?

I don't know.

My brain was so fucked up.

Darrel caught my attention that made me back to my senses.

"May request ako," he said.

"What's that, Rel?" I asked him.

I went to their house to look for him. His mom was not around, and so his brother. Hindi pa raw umuuwi mula kahapon. They hired a new maid but Darrel doesn't want that woman, and I don't know why.

"Wear a dress please," he's pouting all the time.

I hate dresses.

"Birthday ko na next week!" he exclaimed. "I wanna see you wearing dress. Please..." He even put his hands together while showing me his pleasing looks.

"Okay," I replied shortly. I just resist him, he was so cute while pleading me to wear dress on his birthday.

Nagtalon-talon siya sa sofa, tuwang-tuwa dahil napagbigyan. Nakangiti naman ako habang pinapanood ang bata.

Kids are so pure. I love them just the way they are.

After few minutes, his mom has arrived so I went home already. I still have some things to do. Besides, I really need a rest. School was draining me.

The next day, I woke up early so I could continue designing my plate. Malapit ko na rin namang matapos 'yon, kaunti na lang. Next week pa lang naman ang pasahan kaya kahit hindi ko madaliin ngayon ay ayos lang.

"Icy, aalis na ako." That's mom.

"Be safe and take care," I replied before I stood and started to look for something else to work on today.

I went out to clean the house. Inabala ko na lang muna ang sarili ko. I was holding my notes because I didn't want to waste even a minute of my time. I kept on reading the notes I jot down during discussion until I finally memorized everything.

Even trimming the trees in our backyard didn't stop me from murmuring some terminologies. I love how flexible I could be. I can do double tasks at a time, and that somehow, amazes me. 

"Icy!"

I looked back when I heard someone's calling me.

I widened my eyes and lips automatically stretched for a smile. Binitiwan ko ang mga hawak ko at saka siya tinitigan.

"You're here!" I exclaimed with wide eyes. I was surprised!

Binitwan ko ang lahat na hawak ko at nagmamadaling tumakbo sa gate upang buksan iyon. Iniluwal no'n si Ziny na kulay rosas ang buhok.

She ran to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back.

"No, I'm not here," she even joked.

We're both busy with our lives so we just barely see each other. Ngayon ko lang ulit siya nakita. Hindi ko rin naman sila gaanong nakakausap dahil hindi ako mahilig sa social media. I barely use my social media accounts as I am refraining myself from adopting such toxic environment.
