MISS NOT PERFECT

CHAPTER 72

Mikki's POV

How would you know if you're already inlove?

I closed the book and sighed.

I watched Lance playing with fluffy puppy. There are laughters and barks.

I looked at my hand. It's been a week since the spin the bottle happened. His heart were beating fast.

I saw fluppy running towards my direction and sat beside me. Lance followed and sat beside fluppy.

I looked at him and frowned but he smiled at me. I immediately averted my gaze. I placed my hand on my chest.

Fast heart beat.

"Nagdala ako ng ice cream. Gusto mo?" he asked.

I didn't answered. He stood up and went to the kitchen. He came back and gave me a cup of ice cream. "Coffee crumble for you" he beamed.

"Thanks" i muttered.

"You're always welcome"

He sat beside fluppy.

Silence.

I looked at him and frowned when i saw ice cream stain on the corner of his lips.

"Lance" i called him and extended my hand to wiped it using my thumb.

He stared at me, stunned on his seat, looked bewildered even. I stared at him, amused. I placed the ice cream cup on the center table, propped my elbows on my thighs and rest my chin on my palm and stared at him. I raised my eyebrows when he's still not moving. "You looked stupid" i muttered.

He blinked and stared back at me. He bit his lips and rubbed his nape then averted his gaze.

I frowned.

What's wrong with him?

He cleared his throat. "G-gusto mo pa ba ng ice cream?" he looked at me.

I shook my head, still staring at him.

"May.. dumi pa ba sa mukha ko?" he asked.

I shook my head again.

I frowned as i remembered the question on my book.

How would you know if you're already inlove?

Paano nga ba?

I stared at him. His eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, ears, chin, jaw, neck and his body, and back to his eyes.

I love his eyes.

Ivan's POV

From: Mikki;

What will you do to cut the hidden thin line that stands in between you and me?

Napahawak ako ng mahigpit sa cellphone ko habang titig na titig sa message sa screen.

Mikki.

Then, a wide smile curved on my lips. Ang gandang pangsimula ng umaga kahit alas dos pa lang ng madaling araw.

I was about to reply the answer when another message popped on the screen.
