Falling For Mikhaela Janna Lim

Chapter 53: Buddies

MIKHA'S POV

"Wear this." I handed my hoodie to Aiah.

We're in the 7/11 because she's tinatamad daw mag-cook and just wants to order na lang, but I want to walk around here at night, so I invited her for a walk dahil medyo close lang 'yong 7/11 sa building namin.

"No, I'm fine." She refused even though I can see clearly that she's freezing.

I sighed and faced her with a serious expression.

"Okay, Miss Fine, wear this before you catch a cold." I stated and helped her put it on, she doesn't have a choice because I already blocked her way to walk.

"Ang kulit mo, Mikha Lim, pag ikaw nilagnat na naman ha." She complained and rolled her eyes.

"Nilagnat na naman? What do you mean?" I asked confusedly.

I felt her stiffen.

"Ah, wala, don't mind me." She replied and walked faster.

"Weird."

I just shrugged it off and followed her. She's too fast because of those long legs of hers, and even though I don't want to hurt my ego, I must admit that she's taller than me.

When I entered the store, there were some guys eyeing her while she was busy looking for something to buy, and I don't know why, but it irritated the hell out of me.

I walked closely to Aiah and hugged her from behind.

I felt her stiffen while a sudden familiar spark rushed through my body.

"Hey, it's me." I whispered.

Nararamdaman ko naman she melted into my embrace and leaned in.

"Why so clingy, Mikha Lim?" She teased, roaming her eyes around before tilting her head and giving me a knowing look.

"Nothing ah, b-baka lang kasi you're cold."

What the hell? I'm stuttering?!

"Okay, if you say so." She replied, but there's something in her voice that I just shrugged off while looking at the other guys with a smug grin.

Go, drool over her while I'm hugging her.

I thought to myself.

Because of our position, I could smell Aiah's scent, she smells like a mix of mint and fruity notes, and it's making me light-headed.

"What do you want to eat?" She asked while still looking at the food aisle in front of us.

"You." I replied absentmindedly, just thinking about how good she smells.

Pretty na nga, mabango pa.

"H-huh?" She asked and tilted her head.

"Hu-oh shoot! I'm sorry, I mean it's up to you, you decide." I blubbered when I realized what I had just said.

What the heck, Mikhaela, do you want to get punched by Ate Colet?

She just nodded her head, but I saw a glimpse of her blushing face.

We just bought a few snacks because there are stocks in her unit naman, kaya bumalik na rin kami agad to her apartment because she invited me to watch some movies.

And as a bored and broke person, who am I to decline?

When we got into the building, some staff greeted us and dumiretso na rin sa may elevator.
