Just friends

Someone special

She finally woke up, and was obviously disoriented.

She started scanning herself. Her face starting to blush, I went to her to explain.

She almost fell off the floor, I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me. She smells like strawberry, I try to keep my focus again.

"Are you really this clumsy?" I said. Keeping my composure in check.

She smiled at me, and her cheeks was scarlet red. It was so adorable, her face says more than any words can say.

"Its quite hot." She said.

"Your weird" I blurted out. I dont know where that came from.

"Well, it depends." She said.

"Depends on what?" I asked in amusement.

"Did you rape me?did something happen?" She blurted out. My eyes almost popped out.

"Rape!?!" I said,and kept laughing.

"I was under the influence of alcohol. I was not thinking clearly for sure. Vitiated consent can still be considered rape." She said, her voice was serious. She's definitely smart.

"Relax. Nothing happened. No need for the lawyer lecture"

"Here." I offered the coffee, and she took it.

"Where is my..." Her face was still red, I can see she's uncomfortable with the situation.

"You vomited. Quite a lot actually. And then passed out, so i had no choice but to bring you here." I explained.

"Well. Cheers." She said shyly.

"Cheers" she bump his cup to mine and we had a good laugh.

Her laugh was so beautiful to listen to, and she looks so good wearing my tshirt.

Wearing my own tshirt.

I taught that I had to put a shirt on her, to diminish her appeal to me.

But damn. That tshirt looks so sexy on her.

She stood up, and sat in front of the veranda looking at the sky.

"I had a great time last night" I said.

"Me too." She said. She was smiling, pulled up her legs in the bench, and embrace it.

I saw it again. That sad smile on her.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Not really." She said.

"Hmmm... I dont want pry but..." I said, but I honestly want to know.

"It's nothing. Maybe I'm just mad at myself, I've let myself believe that the guy I love, feels the same way." She said.

Ow. She has someone already. I felt something. a little pain in my heart. I think I need to get a check up, ever since I met this girl, my heart was acting weird.

Tears started to form in her eyes.

"We were good friends, he was right. We were close friends, just close friends. But fuck. Pa fall sya e. Ako naman si gaga, pa victim." She said.

One sided love? How can anyone resist to love her? He's probably crazy. Or gay. Or it's a blessing in disguise.

"Oh shoot. Did you understand me?" She asked.

"Yep. I know how to speak in tagalog, my mom's a filipino, its just... im not used to speaking it." I said

"Ow."

"You know your too pretty to be sulking for a "pa fall guy" but, I'm thankful for that stupid bastard who broke your heart." I said.

She raised her eyebrow.

"Dont get me wrong. I hate guys who makes a girl cry, but im thankful he broke your heart, because... I met you." I said looking straight at her eyes, and then to the sky.

No girl deserves to get hurt like that, specially a girl like her.

"I want to go to the beach" she said

I look at her, and a wild idea struck me. Why not right?

"Let's go."

I stood up, and pulled her out.

"Wait! I dont have anything!" She screamed at him.

"Dont worry. Let's just go" I said. This will be an adventure!

We were on our pajamas, ride my car and off we go.

Before anything else, we made a drive thru to my favorite fast food. JOLLIBEE.

"2 pcs of chicken and a jolly spaghetti." She said.

I smiled, quite a hearty a petite for a petite girl like her.

"You are a big eater aren't you?" I joked.

"It depends" she said and we both laughed, not like other girls, she was honest, and I love girls who can eat.

"One aloha champ please." I ordered.

"Do you want us to stop for u to eat first?" I said, worried on how she will eat that much while driving.

"No, worries I got this" she said, and gave me an okay sign. A true cowboy.

And even before I finished my burger, she was done. We looked at each other and laugh so hard.

"Okay. That was amazing!" I said.

"Its a talent" she said. We both laughed.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"Do you trust me?" I asked her as well.

"Ive known you for less than 24 hrs." She said.

"Your not answering the question, do you trust me?" I looked at her and said.

"In theories." She smiled.

That's enough for me.

"I'll take that as a yes."

She was silent for a while, she looks like her thoughts was bringing her to another world.

"What's going on your mind?" I asked.

"Of how mad everyone will be, after I go back" She said

"Well, I am stranger." I said. That's a fact.

"No worries. I can protect myself" she said smugly.

"Oh really." I said.

"I'm not always weak,you know" she said, but her face looks like she remembered something painful.

"Do you always go out with strangers?" She asked.

"Not always. Last night was different." Honestly, I dont. Ever. But, she was different.

I dont let anyone inside my "cave" but I know she's not just some anyone in my life.

I just know she will be special.
