That Thing Called "Kilig"

Chapter 8 - Flashbacks

Maine's POV

"Maine! Maine! Ano bang nangyayari sayo?!" Ate Annica shouted at me, as I found myself restlessly laughing while watching a sad movie.

"Sorry..." I replied shortly. She didn't answered me back and nanood na uli siya ng Hachiko.

Unfortunately, I still couldn't stop smiling and blushing the whole movie, since I wasn't really paying attention to what we're watching. I'm actually reminiscing what happened before. Sino bang hindi kikiligin kapag si Alden ang kausap mo.

Flashback

"Well, well. If it isn't again you, Ms. Maine Mendoza." Alden whispered as the whole EB staff ate dinner together.

"Hi." I replied unknowingly what to say.

"Mind if we go outside?" Alden curved his arm, waiting for mine to curl. And so I did. How can I refuse?

We went outside, only the two of us. I finally got some fresh air as the breeze started to curl on my warm body. It was a night time. "Kaya nga dinner eh. Tanga mo rin Maine eh." I thought. We were both looking at the stars, silently. Neither of us spit out a single word. And he finally talked.

"Alden." He introduced himself.

"Of course I know you, silly. We've met before, right?" I said while looking at his smiling eyes and his dimple that he showed off. CAN YOU STOP BEING SO HOT? God.

"Oh. Right." He replied shortly.

"So, can I ask you things?" He added and showed off his dimple. Again.

I nodded in response. "What's your favorite color?" He questioned.

"Yellow."

"What's your favorite street food?"

"Nothing beats isaw, Alden."

"Favorite book?"

"Hmm. I'm not into reading that much, but I love Nicholas Sparks's novels! They're awesome!"

"Celebrity crush?" He suddenly changed the topic. My! Anong isasagot ko dun?!

My lips twitched, "none. I guess..." trying to hide my blush. OF COURSE IT'S YOU! ALDEN RICHARDS IS MY CELEBRITY CRUSH.

"No, but seriously, it's you." I added and I saw how his eyes squinted.

"Really?" He scratched the back of his head. Again, I nodded.

"Wow --"

"Papi!?" Sam stepped outside, grinning at us. "Ay sorry, Paps. Kala ko ikaw lang mag-isa diyan. Andyan pala si better half mo."

"Hoy." Alden gave him a glare, and I laughed. How cute he is.

"Ang sabi ko, you better not laugh, you better not cry. Ikaw talaga Paps!" Sam jumped and goofed around.

"Why are you here, anyway?"

"Ah. Magpapaalam lang sana ako na uuwi na ako. And also, yung date natin sa Friday Meng ah!" Sam smiled again, but Alden didn't.

"What do you mean 'date'?"

"We have a triple date. Tayong tatlo Paps! It would be awkward kung di kasama ni Meng ang better half niya. I mean, uuwi na talaga ako. bye." Sam ran off and the whole convo made me laugh hysterically.

"So ayun na nga. You were saying?" I smiled, trying to recall his unfinished sentence before.

"Ah, oo. Haha. I was just about to say 'Wow, ganun ba ako ka-gwapo?' " he smirked. HE EFFIN SMIRKED. TULUNGAN NIYO AKO. DI AKO MAKAHINGA. ok, joke lang.

"Ha?! Excuse me!" I laughed off and punched his arm slightly.

End of flashback

"Maine..." Ate Annica shrugged me.

"Si Alden nanaman ba nasa isip mo, ha?" She teased.

"Always." I whispered and left the room.
