Un Verano Sin Ti (Book 2: A Summer Without You) [Bad Bunny Story]

15: Pa-fall

=MIA=

*sigh*

I feel... sad. I told him that I would be going back to the Philippines the day after arriving in LA, but he didn't really react the way I thought he would. I thought he would feel, I don't know, sad, maybe. It's like, he doesn't even care.

If I think about it, there's really no reason why he would like me. I am much different from the person he typically goes out with, as Kayla told me. I almost asked him yesterday if he liked me. What am I thinking?

He seems to like me, I think. I may have been single since birth, but I'm not dumb. I've felt the way he looks at me. I've caught him looking at me with my peripheral vision.

Kayla: will u be back 2morrow?

Mia: Yup. r u guys done packing?

Kayla: almost...

               don't forget to buy more souvenirs. Mom and I also went shopping yesterday.

Mia: I won't. I'm at the mall right now.

Kayla: ok. talk 2 ya later.

               gotta go

I bought myself a milk tea to lighten up my mood before checking the different stores. I hope it'll help me take my mind off what I'm feeling right now. I entered a clothing store and the green colored beach shirt caught my eye. I picked it up and check the design.

"Ooooh. This would look good on Beni." 

I got one for his size. I also got some for my cousins, but I made sure to pick a different color and style so they wouldn't look like they were wearing matching shirts. We should wear this the next time we go to the beach for our yearly family vacation.

After making my purchase, I left to look at other stores. I might see more things that I want to buy. I heard someone call my name as I was about to enter a different store.

"Mia?"

I looked back and saw a familiar face. I waved at him, and he walks up to me.

"Bibili ka din ba nang mga souvenirs?" I asked him cause I noticed that he was carrying what appeared to be a bag from a gift shop. (Are you also buying souvenirs?)

"Yup. Paano mo alam?" (How did you know?)

I pointed at the bag he's holding, and he laughed. Awww. He has such a cute smile. I wish I could poke those dimples and measure their depth. I used to feel uncomfortable with strangers, but I guess I got over it or is it because he speaks the same language as I do?

"Are you going to that store? I actually want to buy some clothes. Mind if I join you?"

"Sure. It's a good thing you're here. Have you had lunch yet?" I asked him as we entered the shop.

"Not yet. You?"

"Same" 

"Should we go eat after this?" he asked. 

I nodded so we decided to eat lunch after this shop. I helped him choose clothes that would fit him. Well, I didn't offer to, but he asked for my opinion, so I gladly helped, and now he's in the dressing room. I was looking around while waiting for him,

"Oooh, this would look good on him. I'll get this." 

Then I saw another one that would definitely look good on him.
