"What's this? It's already the time for that?"
Zye and I was lying down on the couch in our mansion, just relaxing and enjoying our weekend while eating some chips and softdrinks. I was reading a new book she recommended while she was scrolling on her phone. I like it . . . how comfortable it is to have each other.
"Why? Is something going on?" I asked her while feeding her a chip. Napangiti ako nang tanggapin niya 'yon at kainin.
She looked at me with her cute yet problematic eyes before pouting. "Our finals is coming up."
"Is finals that bad?"
Nanghihina siyang tumango. "Exam are like Julius' face, it gets scary everytime it's near," she responded, giving an example.
"You mean this handsome face can be scary?"
"OH MY GOD!" Zye yelled after seeing Julius behind us. Kailan pa nandito 'tong mokong na 'to? "You startled me!"
"Since when did you arrived?" bungad kong tanong sa kaniya.
"A while ago," maiksi niyang sagot saka umupo sa gitna naming dalawa. "So . . . why is my face scary, huh? You mean, scary handsome?"
Zye made a face before poking his forehead, pushing his face away from her, that made me laugh. "Do you need hearing aids? Do you even hear yourself?" Tinulak niya na ito nang tuluyan papunta sa akin. "Handsome, my ass."
"Gwapo naman talaga ako, ah! Baka ikaw lang 'yong hindi nakakakita."
"Excuse me, 20-20 ang vision ko! Mas malinaw pa kaysa sa 'yo!" pakikipagtalo ng fiance ko.
Wala nang masabi si Julius kaya binelatan niya na lang si Zye. Napapailing na lang ako habang pinapanood sila. "Childish but cute."
My eyes widened when I realized what I said. Napatigil din silang dalawa at napatitig sa akin, nagtatanong kung tama ba ang narinig nila. God. Why did I said that outloud? It was supposed to be a thought!
"Bro . . . Did you just said I-I'm . . . childish?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Julius sa akin. "Isip-bata? Ako?"
Hindi ako sumagot at nanatiling tahimik lamang. "Then, did you just said . . . I'm cute?" Si Zye naman ang nagtanong sa akin ngayon. Nakatingin siya sa akin, hinihintay ang sagot ko.
"Yeah . . ." I nodded. "You're cute." I pinched her cheeks before leaving the two of them there.
