Dinner

The cold breeze from the ocean greeted my skin as soon as we walked out of the cabin. Deuce automatically took my hand before he followed the stone path to where our first dinner will be held.

He wore a nude button down shirt and the first three buttons are left open showing a bit of his skin. I twisted my lips when i realized we both compliment each others especially the way we dressed for tonight.

"So...how do we do this together? Like you should at least ask me questions, right? talk?" Hindi ko mapigilan na pangunahan siya lalo na wala naman akong ideya kung paano talaga to.

I am not used to having a guy around all the time.  Hindi rin sanay na palaging nasa akin ang atensyon at oras. So as a safer route i prefer him to lead me the way and i will just follow him.

The lavish lighting throughout the place and even outdoors gave off the impression that we were genuinely here to unwind.

"What do you wanna know about me?" hindi naman siguro puro sex lang nasa utak ng taong ito. Ayaw ko nga masyado ng seryoso pero okay lang din naman sa akin na maging kaswal kami sa isa't isa tutal nasa iisang grupo lang naman kaming dalawa. He can know some things about me even the trivial ones.

"First thing you'll always do in the morning is prepare for work and last thing you will do in the evening is to diligently do your night time routine. You hate bland looking coffee so your orders usually go for all black coffee or a frappe." he answered with arrogance when he saw my surprised reaction.

Hindi naman kami masyadong nagsasama sa coffee shops o sa mga coffee break during layovers kaya hindi ko inasahan na marinig iyon mula sa kaniya.

"People show a lot about themselves through their actions and daily routines. You'll learn things about them that they might not even be aware of. What we do unconsciously reveals a lot more than just interviewing you random boring stuffs," he continued.

"So we're not gonna talk?" iyon ba ang ibig niyang sabihin. Kaya aksyon na siya agad at wala nang pasabi sabi pa? he hates talking about things at hindi niya kaugalian ganoon ba?

"I really get to know you by watching you, not by listening to you. A person's demeanor and appearance convey a million more things about them than their words ever could. And i doubt what you're going to say is true, to be honest, knowing how confusing you are most of the time," he sounded serious but also subtly teasing me about it.

Nainis lang ako sa sinabi niya at napairap nalang. Kita mo tong taong to kung kailan nag eeffort akong magkaroon kami ng katahimikan dalawa ay tsaka naman siya totopakin. Pareho rin pala kami ayaw magsalita ibig sabihin habang buhay din kaming di malilinawan dalawa.

"That guy in that movie where he watches the girl next door with binoculars begs to differ." inis kong sagot sa kaniya. Iyon pala tipo niya ang manood lang, stalker pala to, eh.

Mahina siyang natawa at inakbayan ako habang patuloy kaming naglalakad dalawa. Minsan nakakainis pala talaga ang mga kill joy yung mga masyadong seryoso sa buhay.

Parang kinarma pa ako dahil sa normal na mga araw ako palagi ang di nakikisama eh. Dapat pala kaming pag untugin ng taong to parehong mga may topak at di na nagtutugma.

"How many goblin do you think you could fight off?" he suddenly asked.

"Huh?" inis ko siyang tinignan.

"You said you want us to talk so i'm trying to start a conversation with you," he smirked.

Goblin...mga panget at pandak na mga tyanak nasa isipan ko habang nagiisip ng isasagot sa walang kwentang tanong ni Deuce.
