Get Me Out of Here (Completed)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Dylan paid for the spa, even when I offered to pay on my own. Hindi ko na rin naman ipinilit dahil alam kong hindi naman siya papayag. He used his black card to pay for it. Pagkatapos magbayad ay normal niya lang na hinawakan ang kamay ko habang paalis kami roon.

"Where do you want to go? Gusto mong mag-shopping?" tanong niya habang tumitingin sa paligid, ako naman ay sa kaniya lang nakatingin.

Who would have thought.. that a playboy like him can be so dedicated and sincere?

If he wants to, he can find someone else.. he can find a girl who's way more decent, who's more stable, who has a life.. but I don't understand why he's putting up with me.

But even when I don't really know what's between us.. I can't deny that I like it. The feeling of having someone.. the feeling of being cared despite your flaws.. the feeling that someone chooses you no matter how problematic your life is.. it's amazing. He's amazing, kaya lalo lang akong nahuhulog, lalo ko lang siyang nagugustuhan..

"Hey, are you okay?"

Napakurap ako at narealize na kanina niya pa pala ako kinakausap. Hindi ko rin namalayang huminto na pala kami sa isang boutique. I looked at him curiously.

He smiled. Lumapit siya at inayos ang buhok ko, habang hawak pa rin ang kamay ko.

"Are you sleepy? Inantok ka sa massage?"

I shook my head. "Sorry.. uhm.. what are we gonna do?"

"Let's go shopping.." He smiled, titig na titig sa akin.

Tumango ako. Sabay kaming pumasok sa boutique na iyon at agad naman kaming sinalubong ng sales lady para batiin.

Dylan let go of my hand when I started walking around the shop to check for anything. Nagtingin-tingin ako pero wala naman ako masyadong gustong bilhin dahil halos bago ang mga damit ko dahil namili rin kami ni Arkin nang nakauwi ako.

It's a brand for both men and women so I thought Dylan's gonna buy things for himself. Kaya nagulat ako nang lingunin ko siya ay nakita kong nasa harap siya ng isang limited edition bag na pambabae.

Ngumiti siya sa akin nang lumapit ako. "This looks nice and casual, bagay sayo." He even put the sling bag beside me to check if it suits me.

Napakurap ako. "Huh?"

He looked at the sales lady. "I'll take this one."

The girl nodded. Kinuha niya ang bag at iniwan kami saglit.

Dylan then looked at me, bumaba ang mga mata niya sa mga kamay ko. "You didn't see anything you like?"

I sighed. "My clothes are new, nag-shopping kami ni Arkin nang umuwi ako."

He nodded. "Bags? Shoes?"

Umiling ako. "I don't need them, wala naman akong pinupuntahan."

He sighed. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "You'll need them when we go out like this."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Bago pa ako makapag-react ay hinihila niya na ako palapit sa mga pair na hoodie at pants na katulad ng suot namin ngayon.
