"Hindi ba ako hot sa suot ko?" tanong niya pagkapasok ko sa sasakyan niya.

"No," I chortled. "Hindi ka naman mukhang sunog." I joked.

"Mahal kita," tumango-tangong sabi niya. It was as if he was convincing or reminding his self.

I laughed. It was as if he's saying, 'mahal kita kahit ganiyan ka.'

Saturday is the only day that we're both free, so we're always going somewhere every Saturdays. We're both busy from Mondays to Fridays since the academic year was about to end. Finals na namin sa susunod na buwan kaya ang daming mga kailangang tapusin this month. He's staying in our house every Sundays.

Tinatanong niya ako kung saan ko gustong pumunta, wala naman akong maisagot dahil wala naman akong gaanong alam na pasyalan.

We went to Cafe fluer. Nakita niya raw iyon sa facebook at naisipan niyang doon na lang kami pumunta.

"Saan mo gustong pumunta sa susunod?" he asked.

"Kahit saan," I answered.

That's the dumbest answer. May lugar bang kahit saan?

"May gano'n bang lugar?" he asked sarcastically.

I told you. He'll tell me that.

"Saan 'yon? Unique 'yon, ah. Tara puntahan natin." He laughed.

I smacked his arms. The sarcasm of this guy!

We looked at the menu. I decided to have a Matcha Latte and Nacho Baked. Demiel ordered Brewed coffee and Mojo's and Dip.

We're talking to each other while waiting for our order. I told him what happened to my whole week. On how tired I was on this week. Hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili kong magkwento sa kaniya.

He's a good listener. I'm comfortably talking to him even if it's about my struggles. I didn't want anyone to know my struggles but I'm always willing to share everything to him. Why? Simply because he made me feel that my problems are his problems too.

"How about you? How have you been?" I asked. I leaned on the table, waiting for him to talk.

He chuckled and pinched my cheeks. I shove his hands away. Akala ba talaga niya ay hindi masakit? Palagi na lang namumula ang pisngi ko tuwing kasama ko siya.

"Crush na crush mo 'ko, huh?"

Natawa ako sa tanong niya. Parang bata.

"You're blushing, look.." he even pointed at my face. Pinalo ko ang kamay niya.

"Shut up! You pinched my cheeks, that's why.."

"Pero totoo? Crush mo 'ko, 'di ba?" He even gave me a teasing look. Inaasar ako sa sarili niya. I laughed at him. He's my boyfriend already and he kept on asking me like that.

"No," I replied. Hindi ko lang siya crush.

He pouted like a kid and shrugged his shoulders down.

"Because I love you," bawi ko.

His ears turned red. His cheeks flushed. Tawang-tawa ako habang tinuturo ang mukha niya. How cute!

Pinalo niya ang kamay ko. He even rolled his eyes. Minsan talaga nagtataka na ako kung bakla ba siya. Baka ginagamit niya lang ako para pagtakpan ang tunay na katauhan niya.

"Why you didn't inform me? Sana sinabihan mo man lang ako na babanat ka. Patampo na ako, e. Nandoon na tapos bigla kang bumanat. Kainis ka, tanga!" He said, acting like a gay.

Namula na ang mukha ko sa katatawa sa kaniya.

He's indeed my rest.

"Coffee lover ako tapos ikaw," he chuckled.
