Happy Birthday, September

68

"I know we've only been talking for two months..."

I gave him an anticipated look. He looks so handsome and clean with his black long sleeve. We were eating delicious filipino cuisine.

"I don't want to ask you through a message that's why I wanted to meet you," he continued.

Sasabog na ako sa kaba at kilig. Ano ba sasabihin mo? I'm trying to stop myself from smiling.

"Can I court you?"

I was speechless.

I don't know what to do, what to react, and what to say.

"I don't want you to rush. I'm interested to know you and your life and be part of it. Or maybe it sounds like I'm rushing you. Damn it I should've asked kins about this. Sorry, it's my first time doing this-"

I gave him a wide smile, "Yes."

It's my first time doing this too.

Nanlaki mga mata niya at mabilis naman itong nakarecover.

"I don't want to pressure you or what. I can wait," he assured.

"I already said yes, Sean," I assured him and laughed.

He smiled. Ang lalim ng dimples niya.

The atmosphere isn't awkward as I thought it would be. We were laughing and saying things about ourselves afterwards.

I found comfort in talking to him through messages and in person.

Love is dangerous. My heart can't handle it, but if it's him I'm willing. This feeling is new to me. I only cheered for my friends' love life before. I saw how they were happy that eventually turned out to be heartbreaking. Which is scary. I'm willing to risk because I think he is worth to risk for.
