Unpredictable Love

23

"What?!"

Nabulunan ako sa sinabi ni Julius. Inabutan naman niya ako ng tissue.

"Are you being serious?" I'm totally shocked to his sudden confession. Napapansin ko ngang masyado siyang flirty pag dating sa'kin. Hindi ko lang talaga pinansin 'yung mga ginagawa niya. I didn't want to belive that he likes me!

"Yes." He said confidently.

Napaturo ako sa sarili ko. "Bakit ako? And what did you like about me?" I have so many questions for him! Alam ko namang maganda ako at kaya kong maka-pull ng mga lalaki pero 'di ko in-expect na si Julius 'yon?!

Nagpahalumbaba siya and stared into my eyes.

"Hmm... You were funny and hard to read, actually. The moment I met you, that was probably at the library, masungit ka pa sa'kin no'n. I was curious about you."

Napanganga ako sa sinabi niya. He was talking about the first time we met!

Nasa library kasi ako no'n tapos nagbabasa lang ng mga books para sa isang project. I went to the book shelves to get more books related to the project, I was tip toeing to get the book, when suddenly someone from behind reached for the book.

Napatingin ako sakanya, he was so tall! Parang hanggang balikat niya lang ata ako?! He reached for the book and looked at me.

"Thank–" I thought he was going to give me the book pero iniwan niya lang akong nakatayo?! I need that book! Hinabol ko siya papunta roon sa table. Nakaupo na siya habang ako ay nakatayo sa harap niya. Nilagay niya 'yung book sa table and then looked at me.

"Yes?" He said.

"I need that book." Masungit kong sabi habang nakaturo sa book.

"I need it too."

"Ako naman 'yung naunang umabot sa libro, hindi ba?" Naiinis na ako sakanya, ah!

"It's not my fault that you can't reach it? Besides, i'm with the book now." Tinaas niya 'yung book and winave niya pa sa harap ko. Itong lokong 'to!

"Kuya naman, ako na muna, please! I'll give it back in an hour. I have something important to work on kasi." I said, begging. Maawa ka sakin!

"Sorry, I also have something important to work on with this book."

"Kuya, kahit thirty minutes lang. Pag hindi mo pa pinahiram 'yan sasabihin ko sa librarian na ikaw 'yung nagnakaw ng isang libro nila!" Balita ko kasi may student na nagnakaw ng sampung libro. Ewan ko kung ano-anong libro 'yun! He better give me the book right now!

Nakita ko namang nagulat siya sa sinabi ko.

"Miss, lower your voice, people might think that we are lovers that is quarrelling in a library." Namilog 'yung mata ko sa sinabi niya. Napatingin naman ako sa paligid at pinagtitinginan na nga kami. He looked at me and chuckled.

Humanda ka! Ilalagay kita sa death note diary ko!

Paalis na sana ako ng humurit pa siya. "Hey, we could share the book." He said. Lumingon ako sakanya with crossed arms

"Ayoko! Give it to me nalang when you are done."

"Alright. What's your name, miss?"

"Bakit ko sasabihin? Baka mamaya stalker ka pala? Anyway, I'm autumn."

"You already said your name. I'm not a stalker, rather a student majoring in multimedia. My name is Julius."

"Okay. Dami mong sinabi, bigay mo nalang 'yang libro pag tapos ka na. Bye!" I rolled my eyes and went back to my table. I was cursing him while he's reading the book. Ako dapat nauna e'! Bakit kasi wala akong lahing basketball player?!
