"Cute" He mumbled. Sipping on his coffee.
I maybe misheard him. But, i heard it he said 'cute'. Aish, what's with this thoughts.
I just stare him straight like i am going to examine every inch of his face. He looks good, I will not lie. He's quite handsome.
From his lips to his eyebrows ah i found it perfect! Is he a model or something? I bit my lower lip to Stop myself from smiling. Did i give a compliment this guy? Yeah, hes handsome. That's all.
"Cute but childish." He chuckled.
Tila bumalik yung diwa ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Oh i think i should take back just what i've said in my mind earlier. Did he just said childish? And now, I didn't misheard it because i heard it clearly. This is a- I hate it! When someone said that i am childish because i am talking a plants! For them, it's a childish act but for me i found it comforting. I just gave him a glare look and walked out. Thankful siya at good mood ako ngayon, Wala akong panahon makipag-bardagulan sa kaniya. Papasok na nasa ako at nang bigla siyang magsalita.
"Is that how you greet 'GOOD MORNING' on your neighbor?" He asked emphasize the word 'Good morning'. I just rolled my eyes. I turned my body and face him.
"Good morning." I fake a smile. There's no way i will show my genuine smile to this guy. "So ano? Mauna na ako ah?" I said as i jerked my thumb in the door.
"We are neighbor since last week, mind if may i know your name?" He asked
I stare at him with my serious look and give him a small nod. And i saw a curve in his lips. Is he smiling, wasn't he?
"Loriegn Sevianna Archangel." Inilahad ko ang aking kamay. Oh I'm not making friends with him I just gave him my name so he can stop calling me Growsome girl.
"Clyde Eriel Rousebelle." We shook our hands. Akong ang unang bumitaw at nagpaalam na rin ako sa kaniya dahil may gagawin pa ako. I hope next day, he will stop bothering me It annoys me!

Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa staff locker kung saan ako nagtatrabaho ay bumungad agad sa akin ang katrabaho kong si Ailen. For sure, may tsismis na naman tong eshi-share sa akin.
"Hoy, Sino yun?" She asked out of the blue. Kunot noo ko siyang tinignan.
"Sino?" Balik kong tanong sa kaniya. "You're asking me out of the blue." Sabi ko.
"The guy last night, yong nag-iwan dito ng sasakyan niya kagabi. Sino yun? Nakita ko kayong dalawa sa jeep." Ayan naman siya sa mapang intriga niyang Tanong.
"Ah! Si Erie-" I didn't finished what im saying. "Wait, How did you know?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"I saw the two of you yesterday, nasa tawid ako. Suitor mo?"
"It's just a coincidence, ano kasi Kapitbahay kami." Sabi ko. But this one doesn't fully convinced. Di parin mawala ang mapangtukso niyang tingin, may pasundot-sundot pang nalalaman sa tagiliran ko. Sorry, but my tickle is not there.
"You two! Maraming customer this morning tapos kayong dalawa riyan hindi pa nakabihis. Bilisan niyo mga kilos ninyo!" Natigilan kaming dalawa ni Ailen nang marinig namin ang Boses ng aming Manager.
"Sorry, Ma'am."
Mabilis kong sinuot ang Uniform ko at dali-daling pumunta sa counter. As usual, marami na namang mga customer. Minsan nga nagkakamali na ako buti nalang mabait ang customer at naiintindihan niya kami. Nagawi ang tingin ko sa lalaking malapit sa may counter nakaupo, tawag pansin ang tattoo niya sa may batok.Nakatalikod kase siya kaya kitang-kita ko. Wait, it seems familiar bakit parang nakita ko na to? His Devil mask tattoo, with two dots, dash and dot? what's that?. Sumakit ang ulo ko dahil sa mga halo-halong pumasok sa isip ko, Memory.
