CHAPTER 14 - "FIRST DATE" 

He does care. Oh my Gosh! I can’t believe this! He worries, about me. ME! Nakakatuwa isipin na may ibang tao na concern sa’yo.

After ng classes namin inapproach ko si Ken.

“Psst, Ken.”

“Bakit?”

“I, I want to say thank you.”

“You already did.”

“Well, can I at least invite you for coffee?” I want to thank him and well, spend time with him. Sana pumayag siya.

“Sure, why not.” O.O

-----------

“What do you want?”

“I’ll just have the Caramel, tall.” Caramel? Favorite ko yun eh! Pareho kami?

“Caramel din sa’yo? Sure ka, tall lang? Uyy, wag kang magalala libre ko.”

“Yes, I’m sure. And, it’s our first coffee together, so it’s gonna be my treat.” Oh My Gosh, he’s such a gentleman! “Saka I don’t usually drink frap.”

“Well, I do, but dahil ikaw magbabayad, tall nalang din yung akin.”

“Don’t. Go for the size you want, don’t choose just because that’s what I want.”

“But, that’s also what I want...” he just stared at like I’m an alien or something.

“Fine.” Humarap na siya sa counter at nag order. “Miss, two tall Caramel frap please.”

“That would be Php 270, sir.” Pagkatapos kunin yung pangalan niya, naghanap kami ng seats. We chose the one near the window.

“So, why did you invite me for coffee?”

“Just to show you my appreciation.” And spend time with you.

“Well, it’s very much appreciated.” That made me blush. He appreciates me. “Gabby...”

“Yep?”

“I want to say sorry. We started on the wrong foot. I don’t mean to act ‘mean’ around you. Siguro masyado lang akong occupied before.”

“I told you Kenneth, its fine.”

“Can we start again?”

“I would like that...” He smiled. Pero nagulat ako when he reached out his hand.

“What is that?”

“Hi, I’m Kenneth Kazzian Ocampo and you are?” Natawa ako sa ginawa niya nag-hesitate pa ako noong una, baka kasi nang ti-trip lang to eh! Ako pa yung mapahiya! Pero mukhang seryoso naman siya, kaya kinuha ko yung kamay niya.

“I’m Gabriella Dianne Mendoza.” Nakisakay nalang ako sa kanya. Tumawa rin siya, hindi niya parin binibitawan yung kamay ko.

“Nice to meet you, Gabriella.”

“Gabby, please call me Gabby.” Or you can call me ‘Baby’! haha! Kidding!

“Okay, Gabby, what would you think about going on another date?” Binitwan niya ang kamay ko at nilagay niya yung dalawang kamay niya (face down) under his chin to support him leaning closer.

Tama ba yung narinig ko? He is asking me out? As in Mr. Kenneth Kazzian Ocampo, is asking me out? Can this day get any better?

“Another? Eh, hindi pa nga tayo nakapagdate eh.”

“Why, don’t you consider this one a date?” Now? We are dating now? Napatahimik nalang ako. “Bakit, ayaw mo ba?” Of course gusto ko!

“hmmm... okay that sounds great.” Nagsmile lang siya sa akin.

“when would you like?”

“how about next week?”

“okay.” Then ngumiti lang siya.

Nakipagkwentuhan lang kami. Grabe, I never expected na ganito pala si Ken. He’s funny, may pagkastrict, pero mabait.

“I’ll take you home?” nag nod nalang ako sa kanya. Pumunta na kami sa sasakyan niya. And first thing I did right after I got in? SEATBELT. Baka magalit nanaman to eh! Nae-enjoy ko pa yung moment na mabait siya sa akin.

Nakarating na kami sa bahay namin. I offered him to come inside pero ayaw daw niya. Hinihintay na raw siya ng mommy niya. Kaya, nagpaalam nalang kami sa isa’t isa.

Pagpasok ko ng bahay, nakita ko si mommy nasa laptop niya.

“Hey, mom.”

“Hi, where have you been?”

“We just grabbed coffee.”

“Sino kasama mo?” Bakit ba ako ini-interrogate ng mommy ko?

“Si... Ken...”

“That guy na naghatid sa’yo?”

“Opo, siya nga.”

“Well, I like him. He cares about you. Is he your boyfriend?”

“No mom.” Not yet!

“No or not yet?” Okay, no wonder she’s my mom! Lumapit ako sa kanya at in-embrace ko siya from the back. And I whispered...

“Not yet.” I kissed the top of her head at nagpaalam na papasok na ako ng kwarto.

Thinking of what happened earlier is a sign that, he really is the one for me. I like him a lot.

Sana wala nang problemang darating.
