The Internship

I can't believe him! Why the hell did he do that? Di ko alam kung ano pumasok sa isip niya at ginawa yun. At dahil dun di na mawala-wala sa isip ko ginawa niya! Ugh!

"Hey Era is this my spot?" bigla ko napabalik sa katinuan. Di ko na dapat iniisip to.

Tiningnan ko yung lalakeng paikot-ikot sa office chair niya. He looked like a kid at unting gumaan loob ko sakanya. Woah! Baka nakakalimutan mo na dapat galit ka sa kanya.

I nodded. Andito kami ngayon sa office ko malapit lang sa office ni Bah. Hindi talaga kami mapapaghiwalay sorry. Hahaha.

Tapos na yung mga pinapagawa ko kay Cy so I guess he deserves a break. I still have a heart don't get me wrong.
Pero baka magsumbong to na di ko binibigyan ng break. Mahirap na.

"Hey Cy. Why don't you go take a break." I said casually. He smiled and took out his phone and texted someone.

"Hey Era you got any plans later?" Nagulat naman ako sa tanong niya. Napaisip ako kung may gagawin nga ako after this.

"Wala naman bakit?"

"Great. Come with me to the party later." Party? What party?

"Who's party and why should I come with you?" I raise an eyebrow. Why does he want me to come with him? But I don't really mind going to a party. Pero syempre kunyari di ako interested.

"Friends of ours, because I want you to come?" Ano naman dahilan niya para isama ako. Baka naman iwanan naman niya ko.

"Nah. You'd just leave me when you see a pretty girl right? No thanks." I shot back. Totoo naman kasi. But it's not like I don't wanna come I just don't want to be embarassed like that again.

"Jeez, Era I'm really sorry about that! How many times do you want me to apologize? It was a jerk move to do. So please let me make it up to you tonight." He begged. He really looked sincere. I was currently fighting with my inner self to forgive him because he really is cute right now but some part of me still won't let him off that easily.

Pinag-isipan ko naman ng maigi kung anong gagawin ko and after numerous debates with myself I finally decided.

He looked me straight in the eyes using his puppy dog eyes. Mahina ako sa mga ganyan! Nakakainis! Cute kasi tas nakakaawa so bumigay na rin ako.

"You better not leave me again."

His face lit up and attacked me with a hug. Nagulat ako nung yinakap niya ko. He doesn't have to hug me. Di ako sanay sa skin contact coming from a boy I barely met.

Naramdaman niya na di ako kumportable at bigla siyang bumitaw. "Oh, I'm sorry." I covered my flattered face. "O-okay lang." I said shyly. He scratched the back of his neck. "So I guess, I'll see you later?" tumango nalang ako as a response.

He walked closer closing the distance between us. He held my hands and my eyes widened sa mga pagkikilos niya. What does he think he's doing? And what's wrong with my body? Why won't I push him away?

"Listen. I don't want you to hate me. So if i do anything wrong please talk to me about it." His eyes still locked on mine. I stared his face and he was waiting for an answer. How can I think when a beautiful face like his is looking at me? I could feel the heat creeping me up my face. He's acting weird! Bakit bigla bigla na lang siyang nagiging sweet! I mean is he really genuine about this?

I was about to open my mouth but-

"Are you on drugs Cy?" A voice interrupted - breaking the moment we were having there. Way to ruin the mood. I heard Cy cuss. We suddenly looked away and took a step away from him. We both looked who disturbed our very intimate scene.
