Ever since that day, naging mas malapit na kami ni Kiefer. He still gives me butterflies but I have gotten used to it. Kayo ba naman kulitin niya every single day.
Yep, after that incident, lagi na kaming nagkikita. Ang cool nga e. We dont have each other's contact number pero somehow, we find ourselves in the same places.
Oh please, aasa naba ako na meant to be kami? Parang di naman ata. May Papa Von siya e. Paano kaya kung akitin ko to? May chance kaya ako? Hmmm.
Anyway, nasa mall ako. By myself. I was planning to get myself some ice cream because it was too hot outside. But since narito rin lang naman ako, I decided to take a stroll.
I went from shop to shop. Window shopping. I have never been a girly girl so hindi ko talaga forte ang mag shopping unless I really need to for events o kayay pag pinipilit ako nila Ella. But other than that, no. Sayang lang sa pera. So I just satisfy myself by looking at clothes id never buy nor wear.
It was almost three in the afternoon when I felt the need to rest my legs. Halos two hours na akong naglalakad. Perfect naman kasi nasa tapat na ako ng favorite ice cream store ko.
I went in, ordered my favorite, then settled at the farthest corner of the store. It was near the glass wall so I could see people pass by which was an entertainment to me. Busy ako sa pagoobserve ng mga tao, when a handsome face appeared across me.
I was shocked.
Ly: Sinusundan mo ba ko?
He laughed... hard.
Kiefer. Minsan feeling ko may lahi siyang kabute. As Ive always said lagi nalang kami nagkikita kung saan saan.
Kief: Relax, Ly. I was about to have my order on the go when I saw you. Wag feeling. Bad yun.
Then he gave me the most charming smile ive ever seen. Alam kong inaasar niya ko, but i was not in the mood to fight back. I was too concentrated on controlling my emotions. Hindi dapat ako magblush.
Kief: Hala ang pula mo. Is anything wrong? May sakit ka ba?
Ay failed attempt. -.- Obvious ba talaga? Huhu.
Ly: Nah. Im okay. Siguro naiinitan lang.
And I pretended to fan myself with my right hand. He seemed to believe me cos he dismissed the topic. We continued eating in silence. When we were done, he looked at me.
Kief: Ly, may gagawin ka pa ba?
Ly: Now? Wala na.
Kief: Tara samahan moko!
And before I could protest, he grabbed my hand and led me out of the store. I was speechless. Hindi pa rin niya binibitawan ang kamay ko, and my heart was flipping wildly inside my chest.
I could feel na nanginginig nako as I silently prayed for him not to notice it. It was akward, but it felt right. In my mind, I was telling myself that it wont matter if walang meaning ang gesture na iyon, basta nahawakan ko ang kamay niya. Sa mall pa. Sorry Papa Von, but akin na muna siya for this afternoon! *ngiting wagi*
Ly: Hoy Kief! San ba tayo pupunta?!
I pretended to be annoyed. Hello kelangan ng onting acting para effective. Di pwedeng manahimik nalang ako.
Kief: Malapit na. May bibilhin lang ako, and I think you could help me with it.
Ly: Ano ba kasi bibilhin mo?
He didnt answer my question and instead dragged me. I chose to keep silent, and feel how awesome it feels to have his hand mine. Hindi ko na nga pinansin na pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga taong nadadaanan namin.
