Part 22

Katabi ko si Mommy na may kausap sa cellphone kaya nag-focus nalang din ako sa cellphone ko. I looked around when I saw Benj's message. He's just around pero hindi ko siya Makita. He might be upstairs.

I stifle a chuckle for how conscious he is with Mom's impression of him.

When he offered me to get my food, I saw him walking down their staircase. I didn't see him carrying his phone kaya hindi na ako nagreply. He glanced at me and smiled before walking to their kitchen, mukang doon kukuha at hindi sa buffet.

Napaayos ako ng upo nang makita siyang may bitbit na malaking plato na may platito kung nasaan ang mga prutas na nirequest ko. But the plate is almost full of fried and pastas, I even saw a chicken lollipop. Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko nang makitang hawak niya sa kanang kamay ang cellphone niya.

I ransacked him with messaged but he ended up smirking like he's enjoying it.

He stood in front of me and smiled. "Hi." He said.

I frown. "That's too much."

Sumulyap siya sa cellphone niya. "Galit agad?" He asked as he scrolls to my messages.

"Sayang kasi."

I looked at Mom who's in a call just a few steps away from us but she's too busy to notice us.

"Kaya mo yan, and I plated that myself."

My eyes dropped to his large plate. Maayos nakalagay ang mga pagkain, it's in even portion kaya nakakatakam kainin but I know I can only take the fruit because I'm vegetarian. I purse of my lips. "I'm vegetarian." I told him.

Siya naman ang napasimangot. "Seryoso?'

I nodded. "I appreciate the effort tho." I said and get the plate of fruits. "This amount is just enough." I said.

"Really? I can get you another plate if you want to."

Umiling ako. "No, thank you."

He stared at my eyes for a few seconds before his mouth twitched. "Bye?"

I held my smile together. "Bye."

Part 24

I ran out of the org room and slowed down before I reach the gate. I don't want him to see how excited I'am.

Well, it's matcha, so I'm really excited. Mahirap rin tumakbo kung reply siya ng reply.

My smile appeared when I saw him waiting outside the University, just a few steps by the gate.

He has this familiar smirk when he saw me.

I can't help but run towards him. I'm sure some people can distinguish me while I'm walking past the gate and some can see how I'm talking to one of the most famous guy in Stanford.

"Hey." I said and lowered my eyes to the matcha.

For some reason, he always look directly to my eyes whenever we meet then give off a smile or a grin. Today, he smiled and guided me to walk to his car.

"Why do you always do that?" I asked while walking.

"Do what?"

"Stare at me?"

He patted his hand at my back and trailed it slowly to my hair. "I was always wondering where were you in the past years."

"That doesn't answer my question." I snickered and get the matcha from him.
