“You drink coffee too much, buti hindi ka ninenerbyos.”

He smirked. “I drink coffee for a hint of energy and to stay up when its needed, Luzon. Bihira akong nerbyusin.”

It’s kind of awkward, really. Isang tanong, isang sagot kami. He’s on his phone, typing a lot while I’m eating. Mayamaya ay nagpaalam siyang mag-c-cr, pero noong bumalik siya ay may dala itong shake na inilapag sa tapat ko.

“Para saan ‘to?” I asked.

It’s strawberry flavored. My favorite. Paano niya nalaman? O baka nagkataon lang?

“You don’t drink coffee. Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked as he sit down.

I pouted and put the shake down. “Nakakahiya...”

He just stared at me. Kinagat niya ang gilid ng pang-ibabang labi, pinipigilang kumawala ang ngisi hanggang sa nag-iwas na siya ng tingin. Lalo akong napanguso.

“Paano mo nalaman?”

Natigilan siya at napaayos ng upo. He shook his head and in a snap, back on serious mode again. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at nagpatuloy na sa pagkain. He focused on making conversation after while watching me.

Uncrush? Maybe not in my vocabulary.
