Fervent Keeper (FK Series #3)

Kabanata 18

"Got any problem?" I turned to him and shook my head. "Sure?"

"Yup."

Tahimik ang naging byahe pagkatapos no'n. I was staring at the window when I heard him called me. Hindi ko namalayan na nandito pala kami. Sabay kaming bumaba mula sa sasakyan niya. After that, we ate in a restaurant.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked while we were waiting for the food to arrive.

I nodded my head. "Yup."

"I don't think so."

I frowned. "Oo nga."

"You know what, Farrah, I really like your eyes because of how transparent it is. I could see it right away that you're happy or sad. So tell me again, are you okay?"

I looked at him and pouted. "I'm sorry.... Nagkayayaan kasi 'yung mga friends then I told them may lakad ako."

"Dapat sinabi mo sa'kin."

Yumuko ako. "I'm sorry."

"Do you want to go to them?"

Umiling ako. "No. I want to be with you."

Ngumisi siya. "Yieeee," pang-aasar pa nito. "But seriously, do you want to go to them? I'll drive you after this."

"Wag na."

"No, Farrah. I don't want you to keep lying to them just because you're meeting with me. I feel guilty with that. And I'm sorry."

"Wag na muna, Lander. It's still complicated."

"Sure?"

I nodded. "Sabihan na lang kita if you'll get to meet them. They think about you bad eh. Sorry."

"I understand. Most of the people does."

"They're wrong. You're one of the nicest people I've met."

Ngumiti siya. "Really?" He brought his hands to his lips and played with it.

Ayan na naman siya! Kainis! Ngumuso ako.

"What?"

"You look hot when you do that."

He flashed a smirk. "You find this hot?"

I nodded.

"Then I'll do this often."

"What? Baliw ka."

He chuckled. "Wala na. Gagawin ko na lagi."

I rolled my eyes. "Baliw."

"Sa'yo."

I bit my lower lip. "Stop that."

"What?"

"Your flirting."

He flashed a wide smile. "I don't want to."

"Bahala ka," I told him then the orders came. He's really a clean freak when it comes to eating. He cleansed the utensils with tissues before handing it to me. Napangiti ako dahil do'n.

When we were done eating, we strolled around until we find a seat to settle.

We were now drinking milk tea. He told me a while ago that he's not into sweets. Ang sabi ko pa, that's normal for guys. Common naman kasi sa mga babae ang mahilig sa matamis.

"Let's play a game," aniya kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"What game?" I asked. He smiled. Shit. That smile again. Ano ba!

"Just Q and A," he answered. "I know there are questions you want to ask me but you're just too shy to ask so go ahead."

"Talaga?" usal ko. He smiled widely.
"Who'll go first then?"
