If Yesterday Could Disappear

Chapter 17

Are You Falling Inlove? Got A Feeling You Are

I started mixing the egg on the bowl like what the video told me to do. Kanina pa ako naghahanap ng pwede kong lutuin dahil tinatamad akong lumabas para magpabili ng pagkain ko sa guard. And finally, I found something easy to cook.

Tortang Talong.

"Dippy," Sinawsaw ko ang talong sa itlog na binatil ko at binuksan ang stove ko para painitan ang palayok ko. I added alot of oil and smiled at the golden color It's giving. I'm gonna fry an eggplant ok? I know what Im doing.

Then, I turned my gaze towards my phone again and saw how they even added bread crumbs on the eggplant.

"Tangina! Ang arte naman, Tortang Talong lang may bread crumbs pa!" Mura ko at lumapit sa cabinet ko para maghanap ng bread crumbs. Penny just did my grocery a few days ago and my shelves and fridge are still full, and Im gonna waste food today.

Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko ng mapansing wala manlang itong biniling bread crumbs para sa akin. Argh!  Hindi manlang ba siya nagisip na baka kailanganin ko ang bwisit na bread crumbs na iyan at bilihan ako?!

Padabog akong lumapit muli sa itlog na binatil ko at sinamaan ito ng tingin. Ang dami kasing arte, bwisit na ito.

Bigla namang pumasok sa isipan ko si Aiden na nakita kong naggrocery kahapon at napag-isipang humingi nalang sa kaniya. Nagmamadali akong tumakbo paalis sa apartment ko at pinindot ang doorbell sa unit nito, and after a few ring on his doorbell binuksan nito ang pintuan at tinaasan ako ng kilay.

"What is it?"

I bit my lower lip eyeing at him wearing nothing on top and just his sweatpants. Ooh lala. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya, hudyat ng paglapit ng kamay ko sa matigas nitong mga alaga sa kaniyang tiyan.

But he immediately stopped my hand and looked at me shock. Pa-inosente ka pang animal ka, hahawak lang eh.

"May bread crumbs ka?"

He looks at me suspiciously before nodding then opened the door wide open for me.

"Pasok."

I did what he said and entered his unit. Ako'y sinalubong ng masarap na aroma na nanggagaling sa kusina nito kayat tumakbo ako patungo roon na parang bata at dumungaw sa linuluto nito.

"Woah, anong linuluto mo? Bango ah," A compliment came out of my mouth.

"Adobo."

"Is that your favorite food?" Sumandal ako sa island nito at parang tangang inaamoy ang adobo na linuluto nito. Damn, he could do his groceries and now he could even cook? That's cool as hell.

"Yes."

Napatango ako sa sagot nito at hindi na binalak pang magtanong dahil sa pananalita nito. It's so obvious that he doesn't even want to talk to me. This rascal! He was so flirty yesterday and now he's back at ignoring me again.

I roamed my eyes around his kitchen and I can't help but to be amaze by how clean and tidy he keep things here. Halos lahat ay may sariling box para hindi magulo tingnan ang kusina nito. Sino ba ang babae sa amin? Parang mas babae pa siya kung maglinis sa unit nito.

"What are you gonna do with the bread crumbs?"

Kaagad akong lumingon sa kaniyang gawi at nakitang hawak hawak na nito ang bread crumbs na hinihingi ko at linahad sa akin. I tried so hard to move my eyes away from his chest and smiled at him.
