Early in the morning, I planned to exercise. Ang tagal ko na kasing hindi nakapag work out. I need to keep my body weight and shape stable.
'Cause if everything goes wrong, it would be shameful to my mother.
I put my ear pods on before playing some pop songs to boost my energy. I decided to exercise outside of the terrace of my room since malawak naman siya ng kaunti.
Just as when I started doing my workouts, bumungad sa akin ang Luke na nasa tapat ng bahay nila kausap ang babaeng kasama rin niya noong nasa royal opera house kami kahapon.
He's wearing his black short paired with gray muscle shirt, may suot pa itong headphones. He's just listening to that girl who's wearing a pair of black leggings and white sports bra.
He looks dead serious like he doesn't care about what was she's telling him at all. Tatango lang siya kung feel niya agreeable naman yung sinasabi ni ate gurl. Poor little one, wala man lang interest makipag usap oh. Natawa tuloy ako nang kaunti at nag focus na lang sa pag wo-work out.
After a few minutes of boring conversation between Luke and that unnamed girl, nagpaalam na itong aalis na. Wala akong maintindihan dahil espanyol ang lengguaheng gamit nito but I can tell that she's trying to say goodbye and see you around.
Unexpectedly, Luke suddenly look at me, agad kong ibinaling ang tingin para hindi niya mapansin that I've been staring at them for too long.
"Water break." I whisper to myself as I grab my flask. Hindi ko sinasadyang mapa tingin pabalik kung saan naka tayo si Luke kanina, buong akala ko ay wala na siya pero laking gulat nang nakita kong naka titig ito sa akin at mukhang pinapanood ako mula roon.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay na para bang tinatanong ko ang mga katagang "Tinitingin-tingin mo riyan?"
He just smiled in amusement, he even touch his lower lip, trying to stifle his chuckle. I can't deny that he got that look, naka muscle shirt ito that's why his strong biceps were flexed right in front of me.
My mind was like whispering to myself,'Daddy, pa headlock'
I shakes my head in such words and slapped myself to wake myself up, and those simple things made him laugh out loud.
Inerapan ko na lang siya at kunwaring nag lakad papasok ulit ng kwarto, pero pagkapasok ko ay kumaripas ako ng takbo pababa ng kusina at kumuha ng napaka lamig na tubig para mahimasmasan ako.
Just what the heck was that?!
Good game, hindi ko na natapos ang pag work out ko at mas piniling maligo na kaagad dahil basang-basa na ako ng pawis.
I wear a simple carribean green bodycon dress with juliette sleeves and just tied my hair in a messy bun 'cause that's the only style I want.
Peony isn't around, she's with Tito and Tita. They need to go to their company to train Peony and teach her how to run their business. They asked me to come with them but I insisted not to 'cause I have my own plans but it was all ruined.
Now I wanted to go somewhere, I'll be enjoying my own company naman, right? Yes, that's right! I'mma strong, independent woman.
I wear my simple satin sandals and grabbed my small white bag before leaving the house. Just as when I finally walk outside, sinalubong ako ni Luke. He's now wearing a forest green shirt tucked in a black slacks paired with black shoes.
It was as if we're matching outfits. Magmu-mukha kaming couples sa daan, oh no! it cannot be.
"Aalis ka rin? May kasama ka ba?" Tiningnan pa niya ang likuran ko. "Gusto mo ba, samahan kita? I know lots of places here in Barcelona. Free tourist guide for you." He even winked!
" I'm not a tourist here, I've actually been visiting this place since when I was still a kid." Inis na sabi ko, akmang tatalikuran ko na siya pero agad niyang hinablot ang kamay ko para pigilan ako.
"I know, pero baka hindi mo pa kabisado yung mga lugar dito."
" You knew? So you're a stalker?" Angal ko.
"Grabe ka naman sa stalker hah." He acts as if he's hurt.
" Sorry, truth hurts." I nods as I already walk away from him that I even forgot to change my clothes.
Hinabol niya ako. Tumigil naman ako nang nasa tabi ko na siya.
" Lubayan mo'ko. I don't need your company." I tried to push him away but he's too damn strong!
" Free tourist guide, 'di ka magsisisi promise." He swear. Wala akong choice. Huminga na lang ako ng malalim at hinayaan siyang sumama sa'kin.
He really did his part we got to visit some famous food place like the Jesús restaurant, El nacional Barcelona, and many more! He didn't let me pay for the foods though, he really is a generous one.
He even got me tried to eat one of the Barcelona's signature dish which is the bacalao or what they called salt cod. I even tried the Paella Valenciana which it taste really good!
He insisted that he would eat my left overs para 'di masayang. Mahal pa naman daw. Isa-isa ko pa itong kinuhanan ng larawan. Next is we got to visit one of the best street market in Barcelona which is the Mercat de la Boquería.
May mga kabataang napapa tingin sa kaniya, they would even ask for a photo with him! May napa picture pa nga eh, ginawa akong photographer?!
I really did enjoy every moment I'm having with him right now. Pero nakaka irita lang siya minsan! But I don't really mind though, at least I tried my best na p8gilan ang pang gigigil sa kaniya.
He even took me in a place called the carnival. He was scared of heights but he tried to do the best that he can to overcome it just so he can be with me.
Nasuka pa nga siya after riding the Vikings.
For the record, he took a picture of himself without me?! May mga time rin na akala ko ay palihim niya akong kinukuhanan ng litrato but no, masyado lang akong nag assume which made me feel so annoyed! Sarap batukan eh.
The last place we decided to stay to watch the beautiful sunset was at the sagrada familia.
"I'll be performing on Saturday. The event will start in the morning at the Gran teatre del liceu. It will be a big event." He stated while we were still staring at the sunset.
"Woah, that's good." I nods before resting my face in the palm of my hand.
"Meet me there." I quickly turn around to see him as he added those words. "Meet me at the grand royal opera house." His voice is just as gentle as the breeze who suddenly touches my face, it was cold yet there's still warm in it.
My heart had gone crazy in within my chest. It was expecting something more! Unti-unti na rin nilang pinailawan ang paligid saktong 5 pm na ng hapon. Ang buong lugar ay nababalot na ng napaka gandang ilaw.
"You look so pretty." He smirks. "Just like those lights I couldn't stop picturing inside of my head."
He sends shivers yet I felt my cheeks burning.
What is this feeling?
