FLAMING LOVE [GxG]

Chapter Twenty-Three: He's back

Agad ko sinundan  si Professor Montivera sa parking lot buti na lang walang mga estudyante sa paligid at walang nakakita na sumakay ako sa kotse ng propesora.

"Mag d-date ba tayo, Ma'am?" I asked her while putting on my seatbelt.

Tumingin naman ako sa kanya pero tinarayan niya lang ako at nag start na mag maneho.

Wala akong magawa kundi tumingin nalang sa labas dahil ang tahimik nitong kasama ko. Buti hindi napapanisan si Professor Montivera ng laway kapag ganyan sya katagal  hindi mag salita.

"Staring is rude, you know that?" She spoke while her attention was still on the road.

"Yeah, it is rude to stare. But who can blame me when you're just so captivating?"

"Tss." She smirked.

Natawa na lang ako at hindi na siya kinulit dahil baka bigla na lang  niya ibangga itong sasakyan kapag napikon siya at mapahamak pa kaming dalawa. Pikunin pa naman 'yan.

Nag park siya sa isang Italian Restaurant at agad na lumabas iniwan na naman ako. Lumabas din naman ako sa sasakyan at hinabol siya sa loob. I saw her sitting at the table in the back. Wala kasi masyadong tao sa parteng iyon ayaw niya rin siguro na may makakita sa amin.

"Ma'am, ugali mo ba mang iwan?" I asked.

She knitted her eyebrows.

"Excuse me?" Maldita niyang sagot.

"Lagi mo kasi ako iniiwan, Ma'am." Kinuha ko ang upuan sa harap niya at doon umupo.

"You're just moving at a snail's pace." She rolled her eyes.

"Per-" I cut off when a waiter gave a menu to us and take our orders.

Professor Montivera is the one who ordered food for the two of us. It takes a minute when they serve the food we ordered. Nagulat nga ako sa dami niyang i-order kaming dalawa lang naman ang kakain, may two glasses of wine pa siyang kinuha.

"Let's eat." She put a white towel on her lap and started to eat.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya habang kumakain siya sa harap ko. She ate her food with graceful precision, her movements measured and refined, embodying the essence of elegance and sophistication in every bite.

"Why? Do I have dirt on my face?" She stopped eating and looked at me, raising her eyebrow.

"Nothing. I just found you attractive in anything you do."

She wiped her lips first using a tissue before talking to me.

"Let me guess—that's the line you use on every girl you have, huh? " She spoke sarcastically.

"My compliments are reserved for the exceptional, and you, lovey, are certainly among the exceptional few." I flirtily answered.

"Ouch!" Napahawak agad ako sa kanang paa ko dahil mariin niya 'yong tinapakan.

"Stop it with the cheesy words, would you? You're really pushing my button here." She rolled her eyes and continued her food.

"Pikon." I whispered.

"What? Do you have something to say?" She asked.

Umiling ako at kumain na rin.
Nakakatakot kasi yung hawak niyang tinidor baka kapag pinikon at inasar ko pa 'yan bigla na lang akong saksakin.

"Wait, CR lang ako." Paalam ko sa kanya.
She nodded her head.

Naglakad naman ako agad kung nasaan ang bathroom nila rito buti na lang walang tao pag pasok ko.
