His perfume brushed my nostrills.
I blinked few times and swallowed the lump in my throat. He's not that near but my heart is jumping. Weird. I pulled myself together and did my best to move my body. I made a one-step backwards to make a distance. I creased my forehead purposely to send him the signal that I am a pissed. Contraty to what I feel. He continued to smile. That's just a smile but why does it looks perfect on my eyes?
May problema na siguro sa mga mata ko dahil sa araw araw na pag-harap ko sa laptop.
He is still holding my hand. I faked a cough. He dropped his gazes on his hand holding mine. He let go upon that realization so I took that as a chance to move finally. Hinablot ko yung bag ko sa kamay niya pero hindi niya binitiwan yun. And just like that, my weird feelings were forgotten. I really felt a bit pissed because he didn't let it go.
"Ako na ang maghahawak ng bag mo. Baka makalimutan mo na naman eh." Ngumiti na naman siya so I looked away. He have a hard head and my memory gap gave me shame.
Ang wrong timing talaga ng pagiging makakalimutin ko minsan.
Isinabit niya ang bag ko sa balikat niya. It looks nice on him. I mean, that's a girl's stuff but he still look so manly wearing those. More on a gentleman, on my opinion.
May nakita akong mukhang couple na nasa likuran ni Summer, couple nga siguro sila dahil naka-couple tshirt sila. I felt my cheek burned because of a certain flashback. Geez! The man suddenly get the bag of the girl and put it on his shoulders. The same thing that Summer did.
If he will carry my bag it will look like we are a -, no! So before anyone could think that we are a couple. I nudged Summer.
"Give me my bag." I commanded. Tumingin siya sakin at umiling. Napalingon na naman ako sa may likuran niya, bakit ba ang agaw pansin ng dalawang yun? They are smiling at each other. They look deeply in love. Then the girl kissed the guy on his cheek.
Naramdaman ko ang pag-init ng pisngi ko.
"Okay ka lang?" He stared at me like he is searching for something. I just hope that he didn't saw me blushed. Tapos lumingon siya sa likuran niya kung saan ako nakatingin.
Those twosome are still there. Tumingin siya sakin ulit. Mukhang nagets naman niya ang katahimikan ko.
"Don't worry. We just look like a couple but we won't act like one. Even if I am just your friend, I will carry your bag without bad intentions. Tsaka hindi lang naman boyfriend ang pupwedeng magbitbit ng bag ng babae. Hindi ko rin nanakawin ang laman nito." Bahagya pa niyang tinapik ang bag ko. Tsk. Insane Summer.
"Alam ko na!" His face brighthened, bahagya ring nakataas ang hintuturo niya. Minsan talaga may mga childish acts siyang nakakatuwa. Tiningnan niya ang wristwatch niya at nagsalita, "Tutal ay maya maya pa yung concert at ayaw mo sa heights, tara muna sa Swan Lake. Doon tayo sasakay." He said like it is the coolest idea ever.
Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? I sighed. Mukhang game na game nga siya ngayon eh. Ako lang 'tong medyo kj. Okay lang naman sigurong maging cooperative ako pag siya ang kasama ko. Siya lang naman ang kaibigan ko eh at napakabuti pa niya. Isa pa, hindi ko pa nararanasang sumakay nang ganun.
