Maybe, If The World Is No Longer Against Us (SL)

Won't Go Without You

SAMANTHA

I was silently eating here in a mini restau, when a stranger came standing in front of me. She later on sat on the other seat.

"Who are you?" I raised a brow.

"As you can see I am having a little trouble right now. Can you pretend that we're on a date?" She pleaded.

"As I can remember as well my question was "who are you." I rolled my eyes as a sign of disapproval. "And date? Are you kidding me?" I added.

"Please. I think they're coming here na." Pakiusap niya.

"I don't even know you." I refused. Hindi naman talaga. Aside sa bakit ang papi niya.

Samantha, you're attracted huh?

"Miss, grabe naman. Just a simple yes will do. Ang dami mo pang sinasabi." Naiirita ng pahayag niya.

"The audacity of this woman." I murmured.

"Sorry about that. Can you please help me out?" She fixed her gaze into my face and then next to my eyes.
I think I'm drowning into her expressive eyes.

"Please?"

"Okay. Tell me your name."

"Al----" She cut off her words. "Shocks!" She exclaimed as she fixed her gaze to something.

I was not able to see it since I am facing her. I turned around a bit to my left to know what she's been looking into. And to my surprise. I immediately look away

"wHaT THE HELL?!" I exclaimed.

"THE F------" She responded.

I saw my friend and then a group of people walking towards our direction. What the heck is this?

"This is all your fault." I said in a low voice. It was true naman.

"Why? What did I do?"

"My friend is there. And iniiwasan kong makita sila." I replied.

Hindi naman sa iniiwasan because magkagalit. Alam ko kasing aasarin na naman nila ako sa mga pinagagawa ko last week. Eh paano ba naman kasi pumunta kami sa bar and then after an hour I was too drunk that night na I even dialed someone else's number to say I love you and please take me home. And then that person I called was a complete stranger to me. I'm not even sure if that person is a he or a she. I was not actually believing them when they told me what I did. So, I checked my phone to confirm. There I saw the number and that person texted me pala na hindi daw niya ako maiuuwi. And I was like thinking of something else when I read it. And try to look in this awkward scene, they will probably have another reason to tease me with a person I don't even know again.

"Why are you blushing?" She smirk. "Am I too attractive that you want to be my girlfriend?" Banat niya.

"Ang kapal ng mukha! Hindi nga kita kilala." Seryosong sabi ko.

"Oh really, Samantha? I thought you remember me." She laughed.

Seems like her laugh is a music to my ears.

"Ayan na sila." She turned serious.

"What should we do? And by the way, who are----" I was not able to finish my question when she suddenly stand up to get closer to me.

"You look more than gorgeous, when we are this close." She said while inching the gap of our face and body.

"W-hat are you doing?" I asked her while she's staring. "Y-ung m-ga t-ao." Nauutal na sabi ko. My heart is pounding. I can't explain why...
