She Will Be Loved

Syete

Mai Reica's PoV

Tahimik kaming dalawa sa loob ng sasakyan and the atmosphere is so damn akward. Wala talaga akong masabi ng sabihin n'ya sa'kin ang tatlong salita na 'yun.

Three words.

Three words only but my heart is doing a somersault while the butterflies in my stomach were dancing happily.

'I like you'

I'm damn speechless!

"Why are you so quite?" He suddenly broke the defeaning silence between us.

Napalunok ako.

Shit.

"W-wala lang. 'Wag ka ng magbiro ng g-ganun baka... baka ano... baka ano..." Di ko matapos-tapos ang sinasabi ko kasi parang nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko. Ba't sobrang nakakakaba ang sumagot kay Senri?

Letse.

"Baka ano?" He asked and shot a glance at me kasi nakahinto na ang sasakyan sa harap ng lugar kung saan gaganapin ang shoot namin ngayon.

"Baka..." Humahagilap pa din ako ng tamang sagot. "Baka madala ako at mahulog sa'yo." Dagdag ko kaagad. Hindi ako makatingin sa kanya.

Shit! Saan ko napulot ang sagot na 'yun?! How stupid of you Mai Lopez!? Damn.

"Then that would be great. I want you to fall for me, Rei. Just like how I fell inlove with you. It would be fair." Napalingon ako sa kanya ng wala sa oras dahil sa sinabi n'ya. He is smiling at me sincerely.

Ano raw?

"I know this is so sudden but I like you, Rei. Maybe, I'm inlove already. I can't point it out for now but I know that I like you more than I'm allowed to like someone. I want to grab this chance on asking you out. And I want to go out with you on a date if its okay with you." He added.

I blinked a few times.

"Am I dreaming?" I asked out of the shock. I can't believe this! The man I'm silently admiring is asking me to go on a date with him. Oh gahd!

Is this really happening or its just a dream or a wild imagination? Resulta na ba 'to ng sobrang stress or sobrang pagbabasa ng mga romance novel? Shit. Nababaliw na 'ata ako.

"Awww... what was that for?" I irritably asked at hinimas ang noo kong pinitik n'ya.

He just chuckled.

"No. You're not dreaming and hindi ito resulta ng sobrang pagbabasa mo ng romance novel or sobrang stress and absolutely not just your imagination. At hindi ka din nababaliw. I'm really asking you on a date with me, Mai Reica Lopez." He seriously said but there's a glint of amusement in his eyes.

Napatulala ako ulit. I didn't knew na nasabi ko pala ang mga iniisip ko. Kainis naman!

"So, are you going to go with a date with me?" He asked as his charming smile show off in front of me. His eyes are full of hope.

Damn those deep dimples!

"Senrico Klein is asking me out? Who am I to refuse him?" I suddenly said and its too late to take back what I just said.

A triumphiant smile flashed on his face.

"Then let's start after your shoot." He said as he opened the door to his side.

Lumabas s'ya ng sasakyan at umikot sa side ko at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto. Iniabot ko ang kamay ko ng hingin n'ya 'to para makababa ako ng maayos sa kotse n'ya.

"Thank you." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Always welcome, princess." He charmingly smiled at me and I felt my cheeks heat up.
