"Welco–" I stopped when I saw Liam stepping inside my shop. He flashed his sweetest smile when he saw me. It's like slow motion for me.
I can feel my heart beating so fast. Damn, pull yourself together, Brielle.
"Hi!" Nakangiting tugon nito.
He's holding 3 paper bags in his left hand.
I don't know how to react. Sobrang gulat ko. Ngayon ko lang ulit siya nakita after 5 months and he dye his hair. It's chocolate brown right now.
"Here, I bought something for you. I hope you like it" Binitawan niya sa mesa ang mga dala niya.
"Nakauwi ka na pala" that's all what I manage to say. I can still hear my heart beating.
"Yup." He answered. Parang may iba kay Liam ngayon. Is it his smile? Hindi kasi maalis alis ang ngiti sa labi niya. Did something good happen?
"How's your honeymoon?" I asked, he looked away and roamed around the shop.
"Your business is running smoothly isn't?" Pag iiba nito ng usapan.
"It is," I answered.
"Anyway, thank you for this" I added. Kahit hindi ko alam kung bakit may pasalubong ako sa kanya. I still accept it.
"Can you choose some suits for me?"
"Or maybe some polo shirt that will make me look neat" he's smiling while saying that.
I called one of the staff to assist him because I can't stand looking at him. I'm afraid.
"Anna. Can you help him find something like a nude colored polo shirt?"
Anna smiled and guide Liam papunta sa section ng mga polo shirt.
"Why don't you choose something for me, Mondragon?"
Nakipag titigan lang ito sa akin. Ayaw na ayaw niyang magpatalo.
Kumuha ako ng isang nude color, plain white at brown na polo shirt. "I think this suit you"
"Really?" He held my hand, mabilis ko naman kinuha ang kamay ko sa kanya.
"Yes" naiilang kong sagot at tinalikuran siya.
"Okay. I'll buy those"
"Aren't you glad that I'm back?"
I raised my eyebrow. "Why would I?"
He chuckled. "Ang sungit mo naman Ms. Mondragon. Ngayon na nga lang tayo ulit nagkita."
"Hindi mo ba ako namiss?" Dagdag pa nito.
"Alam mo ang weird mo, Liam. Ganyan ba talaga kapag bagong kasal?" Pagbibiro ko din sa kanya.
Bigla nalang nawala ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. "How much?" Pag iiwas nito.
Did something really happen?
"Do you want to grab some coffee with me?"
I don't think it's a good idea. Lalo na't kasal na siya.
"I don't think we can do that, Liam. Someone might misunderstand us again"
"Don't worry, Ciella is still in Europe"
I smirked. "But that's won't give you the right to do this, Liam"
He stared at me. "Is it wrong to have some coffee with my friend?"
