If I Could Fall (Love and Mishap Series #1)

Chapter 12

Chapter 12
Admirer

Except for Primo's passion for singing and sports in basketball, I know that he also likes to draw. I always see him scribble comics on the back of his notebook every time we're in the library.

His favorite food is chicken garlic. He is particular with it that every time we eat together, he always orders any dish that is chicken. He doesn't eat cake but he likes ice cream. Paborito niya ang kulay asul, hobby niya ang mag-laro ng basketball at mag skate sa isang napakalaking sports complex ng Bacolod.

That's why it's not surprising anymore how he seems to be friends with all the well-known people here in our City. Even the most respected young ones like our age, kakilala niya o kaibigan niya.

Primo is fond of iced coffee. He is a bit grumpy in the morning but he warms up in the middle of the day. He is left-handed and his penmanship is always formal.

Tinitigan ko siya habang inaayos niya ang pagkain namin sa mesa. Nasa harap ko siya at inuna niyang ayusin ang mga kubyertos ko.

I looked at his eyes with thick long eyelashes. With his fair skin complementing his features, Primo really sports a look with charisma. He is effortlessly attractive and handsome.

"Careful when you eat it. It's extremely hot," ani sakin at minuwestra ang order naming ramen.

I pursed my lips and nodded at him. My gaze never left him; from the strand of his hair falling a bit on his forehead, to his narrow nose down to his reddish and soft lips that are moving as he talks to me, I stare at all of it smoothly.

Nakabihis na siya ngayon ng itim na shorts, puting shirt at rubber shoes.

We started eating. Nilagyan niya ng tubig ang aking baso. I smiled shyly at him and he smirked at me. Parang nasanay na ako na minsan ay ganito siya kapilyo.

"Baka matunaw ako kakapanitig mo, Ma'am," anito at humalakhak.

Napakurap ako at tinikom ang nakangangang bibig. Uminit ang pisngi ko!

"Wala na ba kayo ni Georgina?" maingat kong tanong at para na rin matakasan ko ang pang-aasar niya.

He ate the noddles using the chopstick. He is good using it. Sumimsim siya sa malamig na tubig at tumigil saglit sa pagkain. Pinatong niya ang dalawang braso sa mesa at inekis iyon sa kanyang dibdib.

"Break na kayo?"

Primo noticed that I was struggling eating the ramen so he helped me with it as he answered me.

"We're not together. Bakit kami mag b-break?" he said casually.

Nagkibit ako ng balikat. Pinutol niya ang noodles na hindi ko maputol using his own utensils. His fingers looks good on chopsticks.

"Marami kasing nakakakita na palagi na kayong magkasama no'ng Mikha. The girl from another school? I came to conclude na break na kayo ni Georgina."

Umiling si Primo at ngumisi sakin. "Flings don't break up, Mishael. Hindi kami ni Georgina. We were just flings. And we already called it quits."

Tumango ako habang nag-iisip. "Flings ba iyong..." I trailed off innocently. He raised his two brows at me, urging me to continue. "...naghahalikan kahit hindi naman kayo?"
