Lies After Lies

Chapter 11.

Xyrhil's POV.

"Anong flavor po gusto nyo, Ma'am?" Tanong ko sa babae na prenteng naka-upo ngayon habang naka-tingin sa labas.

"Anything." She shortly said.

"Ma'am wala po ata silang ganun na flavor." Tugon ko na ikina-irap lang nitong babae na nasa harapan ko.

"Don't be stupid, Davidson." She irritatingly said and I chuckle before leaving to buy an ice cream.

"Here." Inilapag ko naman yung isang cookies and cream Cornetto sa harapan nya at umupo na din.

She look at her ice cream before turning her gaze on me. "Why cookies and cream?" I shrugged. "Because you said anything po." I smile but she rolled her eyes on me and grab her ice cream.

"Favorite ko po yan, magugustuhan nyo po yan." Ngiti-ngiting tugon ko. "I know the flavor cookies and cream, Davidson. I've taste it before."

Tumango-tango nalang ako at hinayaan syang kumain ng ice cream nya, hindi ko naman sinabi na hindi pa sya nakaka-tikim or hindi nya alam yung lasa ng cookies and cream ice cream.

Habang kumakain naman ako ay hindi ko mapigilan na mapa-tingin sakanya na ngayon ay naka-tingin nalang sa labas at mukhang malalim yung iniisip kahit kumakain ng ice cream.

As I kept on watching her I didn't even realize that I was now looking at her cupid bow lips, she has a natural red pinkish lips that makes her more attractive, she doesn't even need a lipstick because her lips is already perfect. Her wavy black hair that always falls perfectly on her shoulders looks good on her, I also noticed the way she frown when she's confused about something. I found myself looking fondly at her.

It feels like these past few days I like looking at her when she's not paying attention because that's when she's the most beautiful. She's not trying, she's just being herself and to me that's better than any picture anyone else could take. I wish I could see her bright smile, even just for once.

What am I even thinking. I know what I'm feeling is not normal, so as long as I can I will deny it.

"Your ice cream is melting. Stop staring at me."

Agad naman akong napa-balik sa realidad nung marinig ko yung sinabi ni Ma'am Albrecht at agad na tumingin sa ice cream ko na ngayon ay tumutulo na sa kamay ko.

"Stupid." Ma'am Albrecht mumble as she hand me some tissue.

I thanked her and grab the tissue and wipe my hands. Napansin ko din na na-ubos nya na pala yung ice cream nya, ganun na ba ako katagal na naka-titig sakanya? Nakakahiya ka talaga, Xyrhil. Saan ka ba nagmana at lagi mong pinapahiya yung sarili mo.

After I finished wiping my hands I stood and throw my ice cream to the trash. Sayang naman yung ice cream ko, favorite ko pa naman yon, kasalanan lahat to ni Ma'am at yung maganda nyang mukha.

Charot. Sino ba kasing tangang naka-titig kay Ma'am Albrecht instead na kainin yung ice cream.

Syempre ako.

Nung maka-balik ako sa upuan namin ay nakita ko na tatayo na si Ma'am Albrecht. "Saan ka po pupunta Ma'am?" She walk past by me but stop midway and turned her gaze on me. "We're already done eating ice cream, we should head back home." She said before walking away.

Great. Mukhang hindi ko naman napasaya si Ma'am, ang panget talaga nung asawa nya. Mukhang unggoy talaga.

Sumunod nalang ako kay Ma'am na ngayon ay nasa loob na ng kotse, pagka-sakay ko a loob ay agad nya naman ipinatakbo yon. "Ma'am?" I called.

"What?"

"Uuwi na po kami bukas ni Eve." I waited for her response but she didn't say anything.

"Ma'am Albrecht?" I called her again but still no response.
