CHAPTER ELEVEN: CUTIE

you'll never wanna leave "

"Eat."

He agreed, he needs to take responsibility and start eating now. 'Di ko matatanggap na 'di siya kakain, dieting is important, yes, pero it doesn't mean that you have to starve yourself.

"Kanin lang yan at manok, you're okay, wala ka naman nang shoot today, 'di ba?"

"Fine." nguso niya at nagsimulang kumain.

Last time na nagdiet ako, 'di ako kumain buong araw, isang mansanas lang at akala ko pa papayat ako agad. I was thinking of how to look better in my projects and photos too.

Pero kinabukasan, 'di ako makakain, sinuka ko lahat ng mga kinain ko, it was so bad.

So no, I'm not going to let him get through such thing, it was terrible.

"Gwapo ka, Ryland..." sabi ko pagkatapos kagatin yung fried chicken.

It's so good, whew. I might have to workout later kasi ansarap ni'to, extra workout ako today, shet.

"You already look good, you workout, right? So don't diet kapag nagwoworkout ka naman, sorry... starve pala hindi diet." explain ko pa at kinuha ang tisyu sa tabi ko at punas sa gilid ng labi niya.

"You worry too much." ngiti niya.

"Ganito lang ako sa mga taong espesyal sa'kin."

"Isa na 'ko do'n?"

Yang titig niya ha, alam ko na yan, he's teasing me again but it's true, he is special to me now, tsaka isa pa gustong gusto ko siya.

"Just eat." ulit ko.

Feeling ko nasa date rin kami kahit na 'di naman date, we're just eating lang tapos uwi kami.

Siguro next time sasamahan ko siyang kumain para siguradong kumain talaga siya.

Pag sabihan ko rin si Brent na dapat kumain 'tong si Ryland dahil 'di ko kaya kapag 'di siya kumakain, para ngang pumayat siya eh.

"Ano nanaman?" tawa niya kasi titig na titig ako sa kanya kahit na kumakain ako.

'Di naman titig, I'm just observing him which is not bad, and because I do worry a lot about him. 'Di ba pwedeng concerned lang ang future girlfriend niya? Like I said, do'n din naman kami papunta.

"Wala lang, gwapo mo, 'di pwedeng tumitig sa future boyfriend ko, ha?" sabat ko agad sa kanya.

Tawa lang siya.

Spending time like this with Ryland reminds me a specific part of my life that I had with my mom.

Puro kami tawa kapag kasama ko si mama tapos kumakain lang kami sa restaurant, wala kaming pake noon kung may nakatingin sa'min, every moment spend with my mom laughing while eating is special to me.

Surprisingly enough, 'di ako masyadong tumatawa kapag kumakain ako sa labas kasama ang mga kaibigan ko o kahit noon kasama si Brent.

And I'm here, laughing, and teasing Ryland like it's another brunch with my mother.

"Order ta'yo fries."

I'm craving for fries too.

Wala naman akong gagawin bukas, wala akong shoot, I'll probably workout extra tomorrow again because the amount of food I'm eating right now.
