Sitting on the park bench, Pablo's been waiting for an hour for any sign from Stell, wondering what's taking him so long?
He fish out his phone again to dial Stell's number, but it was still out of coverage.
The two agreed to meet there after lunch to do the research paper assigned to them by the lecturer
But Pablo haven't seen the other yet. He sighs and just as he puts down his phone. A shadow comes into view,
he raised his head and saw a woman
"Ah, hello?" she said meekly, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ears ...
" Y ... es?."
She then asked in a small voice ... "I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"No, but do you need something?" He replied, shaking his head.
"Actually I was looking over here for a while , but you didn't notice at all. I'm Nathalie." She introduced herself, Extending her slender arm for a handshake.
His brows was furrowed as he stared at her, not uttering a word
Meanwhile ... The smile on Nathalie's face changed to a contorted one, when her outstretched hand which is left dangling began to waver
Kasabay pa nito , The audience started to murmur, and she could immediately feel eyes on them which makes her face turns red from embarrassment so Nathalie immediately withdrew her hand
"I said my name is Nathalie. .." She repeated flashing a fake smile
Pablo doesn't bother hiding the disinterest look on his face
"I can hear you clearly. You said you're name's Nathalie. So do you have something to say?" He asks in his monotonous tone
Nathalie was fuming from inside and with gritted teeth she reply , "No, never mind." Turning her back , She breath out clutching the strap of her purse and walks away
Just as he was about to ask her , a bubbly yet curious voice asked from behind. "Who's she?"
Knowing who it was, Pablo's stoic and cold gaze had then softened instantly
"It's nothing." He answer, shaking one's head. Pablo turned to see Stell questioning eyes on him
A momentary smile crossed his lips but it quickly disappear ...
He abruptly stood up and advanced towards the other. "What happened to you?" Kumento niya habang sinisipat ang kabuuan ng lalaki
His white shirt were entirely soaked with sweat, cheeks are tainted pink , and his black hair is everywhere sticking on his face.
Stell didn't respond. Instead, followed the retreating figure of the woman with a frown. Then suddenly his head whipped in my direction and His confused expression turned to an apologetic smile
"I'm sorry. Did you wait long?"
"No-no-no it's fine." Pablo lightly shook his head.
Stell watch as the other began to fumbled through his pocket, in search for something. Soon, Pablo took out a piece of cloth
His eyes seared into mine as I dragged my hands from his back to push some of his hair off his forehead
Stell flinched a bit but the hand still cared enough to wipe his face gently
"Are you okay? What happened?" worry laced in his tone ..
Right away. A rosy blushed instantly appeared on Stell's cheeks
