Be With You

"So what happened to taking everything slow?" Sheen asks, arching her eyebrow at me while we walk side by side on the hallway on our way to the coffee shop.

"I took it slow." glancing at her, she was referring to Sean and how he asked me out right after he introduced himself to me that night then continued to give me things. "I told him I'm going to think about it." I explained to her. I decided to get to know him better, because it's really so sudden that he appeared in nowhere and proclaiming he has feelings for me.

Well, sa ilang araw ko pa lang siyang nakakausap, I known some things about him. Sean is a swimmer. He took tourism as his program and a top student too. The funny thing is, I really don't know him or have any idea who he was. Basta nag pop nalang siya sa harapan ko isang araw. Maybe because their building is far way from mine? I really don't know.

"You sure? Baka mamaya niyan you're dating a guy again. You know? That's you Kira." She sighed and held my arm. "I just want you to be careful because I'm your friend." She looked at me with a small smile on her face. "I don't want to see you getting hurt and making reckless decisions because you just want to be with someone."

"I am not!" my eyes widened and my mouth gaped open, shocked by what she just said. Hindi kaya! Sheen just laughed and pulled my arm.

"Oh, yes you are." I frowned when she laughed loudly at my reaction. "Mamaya may sabit nanaman 'yon. Hobby mo pa naman ang maging third wheel,"

"Oh my gosh!" I slapped her arm. "Oo na! Okay but you didn't need to point that out!" pouting my lips and letting her pull me.

"I didn't need to but I guess I have to, Kira. It's just a friendly reminder!" She chuckled. "Don't worry, I still love you!"

"Whatever, I'm not." rolling my eyes again at her but it didn't affect her instead she just pulled me closer to her.

That's the reason I want to know him more before accepting his offer to go out with him. I know I'm a bit...okay bad at making decisions about boys but still I'm trying.

The coffee shop was a bit crowded when we finally got there, I've seen some of my blockmates since our class will begin in the afternoon. My eyes darted to one of the crowd as I saw a familiar figure, wearing his usual white shirt, black pants and cap with a gym bag on his shoulder.

"Uy, Quen is here too!" Sheen exclaimed and also noticed him. "Quen! treat us coffee!" she chuckled, making me shake my head and lean on the counter when it's our turn to order. I didn't bother to look at what i want on the menu but before I could speak to the cashier about my order, a black card was already placed on the counter and Quen was already ordering for me.

"Two iced coffee and Two garlic flatbreads." he said and glanced at Sheen who's grinning on my side and whispering 'free coffee', "What's your's Sheen?"

Her lips formed a pout when I gave her a glance but still answered Quen's question anyway. "Caffe Latte and chocolate chip cookie." I chuckled at her reaction. "You memorized Kira's fave and not mine? Kainis ah." she checked her phone when it beeps. "Anyway free is free. I need to take a call for a moment. " Sheen turned to me while she put her phone agaisnt her ear. "Get my coffee, Kira. Quen, thanks for the treat!"

Quen and I followed her until she was out on the coffee shop, Natawa pa ako kung paano siya nagmadali sa paglabas at parang walang nangyari dito.
