My heartbeat is racing wildy. My eyes are doing wonders around this store not wanting to look at him—even his fingers. The way he stares at me bothers me so much. His eyes are full of emotion I can't even name. Or is it because I'm in denial?
No. I am not. There's nothing to be in denial about.
He cleared his throat, "Answer me, aren't you tired?"
Nagulat naman ako sa biglaan niyang pagtanong kaya napaayos ako ng upo at timingin na lamang sa labas. The sky was beautiful. It is colored perfectly with sky blue and the clouds is super white. I smiled when I noticed that it was a kitte-like shape.
"I am resting right now." Is all I could answer.
Liningon ko siya never minding my heart skipping a beat. I caught him looking at me pero hindi naman siya nagiwas ng tinging.Tapang. He smiled at me at dahan-dahang tumango.
I sighed. My mind is resting right now, with the food I have infront of me and the sky that's calming me it makes me feel at peace. Plus him beside me. I never experienced my brain being at peace with someone except for Rhi and Xan.
I cleared my throat, still looking at him. "So... You were the one who got my book?"
Nakatingin pa rin siya sa akin at dahan-dahang tumango ulit. Hindi ata siya marunong magsalita ngayon. Well, sorry for him because I don't know how to carry a conversation.
"Yeah, about that." Aniya at tumayo.
Sinundan ko siya ng tingin nang naglakad siya papuntang counter at may kinuha siya roon. Nakita kong may binulong sakaniya si Hill kaya napailing siya at dali-daling naglakad sa kinaroroonan ko. Tawang-tawa naman si Hill sa sinabi niya.
"So, Channary huh?" Tanong niya ng halos isang hakbang nalang ang lapit niya sa akin. Lumapit pa siya at umupo roon sa inupuan niya kanina. "Here you go." Aniya at inabot iyong transparent cotton bag na naglalaman noong libro ko.
Kinuha ko iyon sakaniya, "Hmm," is what all I can say because of the excitement. "I missed you," I said as I hugged my book. "Why are you like that, why would you leave?" Pagkakausap ko sa libro habang yakap ito na para bang sasagot ito sa akin. I did that poutedly.
I was feeling the moment, hugging my book because I've missed it so much. Then, I felt like someone is watching me. Reality hit me that hindi lang pala ako ang nandito. May kasama ako and he's looking at me attentively. I can feel it.
"Thank you." I finally said with sincerity. Then I remembered his question again, "My name's Channary but you can call me Cha. I feel weird when people call me by my full name." I shrugged.
His lips formed a smile, "Okay, Ari then?" Whilst looking at me, as if he's admiring me.
Duh. Why would he?
I snorted, "Ang bantot!" Pagrereklamo ko. "Cha nalang, gawa-gawa ka pa ng nn eh panget naman."
His voice roared as he laugh that caught my attention. I was admiring him as he luagh with his eyes shining. Kapag tumatawa siya mas lalo siyang pumopogi not that he isn't handsome already but him smiling is different kind of pretty. I bet every woman would fall for this guy with just him laughing.
I was busy admiring him when he noticed me. Agad kong iniwas ang aking paningin mula sakaniya papunta sa biscuit na nasa lamesa. Kinuha ko ang nahuhuling bar ng combie at kinain iyon habang tumango-tango.
"Sarap!" Parang tangang ani ko.
I heard him chuckled sexily. Damn.
"Hmm," In my peripheral vision I saw him nodding. "I'm Liam Gil. No nicknames from my friends nor fam, so you can call me whatever you want."
