"Why can't you look at me?" he asked, devastated.
It was right after we both found the bookstore that seems to be hiding itself. We found it somewhere less spacious. Far from what I expected, of course.
"Wait," he stopped me. "Are you alright? You're like a tomato. Your face is sort kind of reddish."
I cupped my face and I felt really hot at the moment. "Maybe, I caught cold." That's the only reason that crossed my mind. He nodded and gave me his coat, making me blush deeper!
Why the heck am I blushing? He came here to escort me, what's to blush about? I hate this butterflies!

Nagbu-book pa lang ng cab si Fau.

Ace

Ace
Tangina mo, Aèm.

"Dadaan muna tayo sa fast food," ani Fau sa akin. Tumango naman ako. "May dumating na palamunin sa bahay."
Natigil ako sa pag-i-scroll. "Pardon?"
He looked at me and his mouth pulled at one corner. "I mean, my cousin."
Well, it's not that I expected it to be us. But sort kind of, it's possible.
