I bit my lips. Unable to mutter any words. I just stared at her.

Without cutting our eye contact, she took a step forward making our distance nearer from each other. Her smile slowly grew wider as she stared at me. My body tensed, my hands trembled, my lips quivered as my eyes stared at those pair of orbs.

Bumaba ang tingin niya hangang sa maramdaman ko ang dahan dahang paghawak niya sa nanginginig na mga kamay ko.

Im so nervous.

"Tara" she said and lightly dragged me inside the living room.

Nagpahila ako sa kanya hanggang sa maupo kami sa sofa Mikki sat beside me, pero tumayo ulit siya at pumunta sa kusina. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang mawala siya sa paningin ko. Grabe! Grabe yung epekto niya sakin. Hindi pa nga ako halos makarecover nang makita ko siyang papalapit at may hawak na dalawang mug.

"Coffee" sabi niya.

Wala na yung ngiti niya, balik poker face na. Bigla akong nangulila sa ngiti niya pero naging kalmado naman ang puso ko. Kinuha ko ang kape at dahan dahang uminom. Ninenerbyos na ko at hindi ako magtataka na pagkaubos ko nitong kape, aatakihin na ko sa nerbiyos.

"What's your answer?" tanong bigla ni Mikki pagkaupo niya sa tabi ko.

I looked at her but she's not looking at me. Nakatingin lang siya sa mug niya habang hinahalo ang kape.

I gulped the lump on my throat. "Ah.. i'll cut it, using the scissor or any cutting tools" i said, not sure about my answer.

She smiled and shook her head then shifted her gaze on me. "Wrong"

My eyes widened in shock. Wrong? What? Why?

I heard her chuckled. Mas lumaki yung mga mata ko na pakiramdam ko luluwa na nga. God! Tumawa si Mikki! Music! Music to my ears!

I stared at her as she shook her head then stared back at me. She raised her eyebrows but the small smile on her lips didn't fade away. I can even see the sparkles in her eyes - for the first time - that melts my heart into puddle.

"You look stupid" she said and pinched my cheek "but cute" then averted her gaze and sipped her coffee.

Mikki, why are you doing this to me?

I bit my lips as I've watched her mixing her coffee again.

Silence.

Only my heart beat could be heard of. It accelerates more as time passes by.

She placed her mug on the center table then leaned her back against her seat and closed her eyes. "Very literal ang sagot mo" biglang sabi niya ng hindi nagbabago ng pwesto.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya na para bang wala akong naririnig. Wala rin akong nakikita, siya lang.

"How to cut the hidious line figuratively?" she asked then tilted her head so she's now facing me. "Do you have any idea?" she raised her eyebrows.
