Identifying Our Trope (Metanoia Series #1)

Chapter 14

Sunday.

I'm in the mall with Lucas. We decided to hangout since we had nothing to do. We are also having a simple celebration because I just finished writing my first story.

Actually, parang sinamahan lang niya ako dahil sabi niya kung ano raw ang gusto kong gawin ang gagawin namin.

We're in a clothing store. Actually, wala naman akong balak bumili ng damit pero mukhang gusto naman niya kaya ginawa ko na lang kahit wala naman akong balak.

"Try this color instead?" Lucas asked, pointing at the Sapphire blue top, black kasi yung kinuha ko. Hindi ako agad nakasagot kaya parang na-realize niya ang sinabi niya. "Uh, I'm just suggesting..." he said.

I chuckled, "It's okay, parang others naman. Pero, okay ba? Black and White lang kasi talaga ako. I don't know."

"Can you try? Just this once? If you don't like it then it's fine." he smiled, trying to convince me.

I giggled, "Nag-suggest ka na lang rin, buoin mo na. What can I partner this with?"

That made him smile so we roamed around because he was trying to find the perfect clothes that I could pair the top with.

He picked the white ripped mom jeans, then we saw another top, but it's a crop top. I think that also caught his attention dahil kinuha rin niya iyon, pero pastel pink naman ang kulay.

"This one," he said while looking at the top, then he turned his gaze at me. "Do you wear crop tops?" he asked.

I shrugged, "Sa bahay lang," I grimaced before I spoke again, "But yeah pwede naman."

"We can buy this, but it depends on you if you want to wear it outside your house. It's your choice." sabi pa niya at kinuha na ang top at naglakad ulit papunta naman doon sa skirt na section.

"Do you have this already?" he asked while holding the knife pleated skirt.

I immediately shook my head, "I barely wear a short skirt."

His mouth formed an 'o', then he put the skirt back. Pero pinigilan ko naman siya agad.

"I never said that I won't. Okay lang nga."

"It's your body, Nat. I'm asking because I want to know the clothes you're comfortable wearing. I'm not forcing you, and don't feel bad. Maybe you're just saying that it's fine because you feel bad." he explained his point.

I nod, "I know. But still, okay lang naman talaga. Kung hindi ako komportable dyan, aayaw agad ako. You know me, Nathan."

"Not that much, that's why I want to know everything about you." he said.
