Faked Attachment (Syclups #4)

Annie's POV

      "Do you want to watch movies? We've got a lot here.."

Tanong niya habang nakaluhod sa harap ng tv, naghahanap ng DVD sa drawer.

"Okay.." sagot ko nalang. Parang siya na ang may ari sa bahay na ito, mas kabisado na niya kung saan nakalagay ang mga bagay bagay. We are on my house, us two, even if it's already late at night.

"Are you still staying here? It's late already, Josh.." pa-alala ko ulit. Wag mo sabihin sa aking dito siya matutulog?

"It's still early. Are you driving me away?" he asked and laughed, still searching some DVDs.

"Yes i am" sagot ko naman. I crossed my arms against my chest while leaning on the couch and stare at him. "It's scary staying with you alone at night.." i whispered.

"What? I will never do anything beyond my line to you, Annie. Relax, okay?"

Geez, i am scared that i might lose my control and do something instead.

"Kapag hinalikan ba kita, wala ka pa ring gagawin?" pang-hahamon ko.

"Wala, nahalikan na kita dati pero wala akong ginawa, 'di ba?" sagot niya, still searching something on the drawer.

"French kiss?" sabi ko naman. Doon na siya napatingin sa akin at tumigil sa kakahanap.

"Try and we'll see the answer" he said with his cunning smirk. My cheeks heat up as i gulp my own saliva. His stare just made my 'friend' down there, react.

Gosh, i shouldn't have said that.

"Joking. Manood na tayo" pagbawi niya at naglakad palapit sa akin dala ang isang box ng mga CD.

Umupo siya sa tabi ko at nilapag sa hita niya ang mga bagay na iyon.
"You choose"

I just randomly picked a movie and gave it to him.

"This? I watched this once, and it's a tragic. You love happy endings, right?" sabi niya. I just shrugged and pick another again.

"That is a bit horrifying. I don't dare scare your imagination right now, mag-isa ka pa naman tuwing gabi dito"
Sabi na naman niya.

"Ito? Siguro naman maganda na 'toh? 'Sweet Burden' ang title eh.." i said as i lift up a CD with a cover.

"The girl is in coma, the boy waited for her for 2 years but she never woke up.. So tragic.." sagot na naman niya.

Kumunot ang noo ko at pinagmasdan siyang hinihintay akong pumili. I randomly pick one again and waited for him to react, and as expected..

"It's a sea movie, it's nice. But I'm afraid it will be boring for you, i almost slept when i watched that.."

Nilapag ko lahat ng CD sa mesa at humalukipkip habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"Bakit alam mo lahat ng movie na nasa harap natin? If i remember it correctly, you're not so into movies.." i confronted him.

Have you noticed? Halos ikwento na nga niya yung buong movie sa akin. What happened to him?

"Ah.." tumawa siya ng awkward at napakamot sa sariling batok. "'Yan kasi ang mga libangan ko simula 'nung umalis ka..to kill time, you know.."
He embarrassedly said.
