Chapter 14: Weird

"Would you please go slower? It's cold!" I shouted right on his ears because he is driving too fast. Solo niya naman ang daan at walang kaagaw pero umaakto siya na para bang nasa isang racing siya.

"Do you want to drive then? Palit tayo pwesto kunwari ka pa nag eenjoy ka naman." I cursed under my breath. He heard it that's why he chuckled. I pinch him on his side.

''That one hurts!'' Tumawa ako pero agad 'yun na nabawi. Sa sobrang kaba ko sa biglang pag gewang niya habang nag dadrive ay napahigpit ako ng yakap sa kaniya.

''Fuck you! Ayaw ko pa mamatay!'' I shouted, my heart still beating so fast. I felt like my soul got out of my body. He barked a laughter.

Yes, I have so many complaints and problem with my life but that doesn't mean I want to die already. And the worst is I don't want to die with this annoying guy I am with!

Finally, we stopped on a small restaurant dahil iyon pa lang ang bukas. Kami pa lang ang tao at nag hahanda pa lang sila pero pinapasok pa rin kami. It's still dark outside and the only light was from the lamp post on the streets.

I held my both hands hardly and blow on it. We are still waiting for our order which is again... lomi, of course his favorite. Hindi na rin naman ako nag inarte dahil masarap naman.

''Ano ang nagustuhan mo sa lomi?'' I asked curiously. He stopped on tapping his fingers on the table and he looked at me while raising his brows.

''Nothing... I just like it.'' He simply answered. I gave him a what-look, his eyes widened a little bit and my eyes widened a little bit too. Until my forehead creased. It's like were talking in a way of staring at each other.

''What?'' I can't help to ask. It's getting weirder as we stare at each other.

''I said nothing. Kailangan ba laging may reason kapag nagugustuhan mo ang isang bagay?'' I glared at him and sighed.

''I didn't say anything.''

''But your eyes did,'' he tried to defend himself. Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata. I leaned closer on the table and to him who is sitting in front of me. A side of my lips rose up and I started to stare at him and he really had no I idea of what I'm doing.

He didn't even move a bit as I stare and didn't even speak. Tanging nakaawang lang ang labi niya. Mas lalo akong napapangiti sa bawat reaksyon na pinapakita niya sa akin habang nakatitig ako.

''Sige nga. If you could read my thoughts by staring at my eyes, guess what I'm thinking right now.'' Hamon ko. I slightly licked my lower lip because it felt dry.

Ang lamig talaga, thank God hindi nila binubuksan ang ceiling fans. If not, maninigas na talaga ako.

I averted my gaze back to him after glancing up to the fans. Nahuli ko siyang lumulunok habang seryosong nakatitig sa akin. Tinaas ko ang kilay ko dahil hanggang ngayon ay nag hihintay pa rin ako sa sagot niya.

Hindi ako tanga at hindi rin ako manhid. Ramdam ko talaga na may gusto siya sa akin. Matagal na. Natatawa talaga ako dahil parang hirap na hirap siyang sagutin ako.

''Your eyes said na may gusto ka sa akin.''

My playful eyes quickly turned into an irritated look. Muntikan pa akong mapatayo sa naging sagot niya. ''What?!''

How dare he flipped the table just like that? Ako pa ang may gusto sa kaniya? Ang kapal naman ata? Well not for me naman na sinasabi na siya ang may gusto sa akin. Pero halata kaya!

Nawala ang mga nakakaasar na ngiti ko kanina dahil ngayon naman ay siya nag bibigay ng ganon na ngiti sa akin. Habang ako ay inis na inis siyang tinitignan.
