All for Naught (NOTHING SERIES #1)

Chapter 6

"Talaga?!" I almost shrieked!

I even held his arm to pull him. Sabay kaming napatingin doon dahil natauhan ako! Siya ay nakakunot noo!

Pinaharap ko kasi ito sakin! Hindi ko naman sinasadya, dala lang ng excitement!

"Bumitaw ka muna." Sabi nito.

I bit my lips and let go of his arm that has nice biceps. Hindi ko naman pinisil iyon but it obviously and felt hard! Halatang ma muscle na tao eh. Damn, at eighteen, really?

"Sorry," I cutely said.

Napataas kilay ito bago nilingon muli ang harap at nagpatuloy na sa paglalakad. I smiled widely and followed.

"Walang bawian, Cai ah?"

Napalingon ito sakin, nakataas kilay which also made mine raised, confused at his reaction.

"Anong tawag mo?" Tanong nito after some time.

"What?" Naguguluhan kong tanong, tawag saan?

His eye brow raised more bago nilingon ang harap muli. He even put his hands on his pocket. Sasama sana ako sa kanya palabas pero ng mapadaan kami sa isang fast food restaurant ay napatigil ako.

"I'm gonna buy food for dinner pala. Ikaw, saan ka kakain?" I asked but he only shrugged. "Kain tayo?" Aya ko.

He shook his head and again looked in front. I pouted.

"Hindi ka man lang mag take out?" I asked.

"No." Maikli nitong sabi.

I nodded, "Okay." 

Aalis na sana ako pero nang maalala paano ako uuwi ay napatigil ako muli. I curiously looked at him.

"Marunong ka mag commute?" I asked him muna kasi baka hindi siya marunong, edi at least, hindi nasayang pagtatanong ko, diba?

"Yeah," nagtataka nitong sagot pero hindi naman nagtanong.

"Paano makarating sa... ano nga ulit pangalan non?" Bigla kong sabi ng hindi maalala ang condominium building name!

He raised a brow, looking at me weirdly. I chuckled, shy now.

"Basta the condo nearby. The straight one then you turn left, I think, then straight again. Along the way is the condo building." I explained.

Napakunot noo ito sakin. He stared at me which kind of made me feel conscious because of how it made me feel like I'm saying weird things!

"Jeep," he breathily said.

I nodded. Isa lang naman ata ang jeep dito ano? Bahala na nga. Ayoko na mag tanong, shy na ako. Pag nawala ako edi tatawag ako kina Cha.

"Okay. Bibili muna ako food. Una ka na." Sabi ko. Napatango naman ito pero nanatiling nakatitig. It was awkward so it made me gulp. "Ano, don't forget, ha? I'll give you the invite once it's available. And I'll message you the other details. Also ask me if you have questions."

Tumango lang muli ito na ikinanguso ko na. Magpapaalam sana ako pero nagawa ko na ata kanina kaya hindi ko na tinuloy. I awkwardly turned sideways and went inside the restaurant.

Hindi ko na ito nilingon pa, not wanting him to realize na may crush ako sa kanya!

I bought food for dinner, marami iyon dahil may desserts rin akong binili. Tapos naka paper bag! Gosh, scary, baka matapon or what.

I was trying to fix the paper bag while going out of the restaurant. Nandoon lang rin ang tingin ko. Kaya hindi ko maiwasang magulat at mapatigil bigla ng may sumulpot sa harap ko!
