CHAPTER 0025

Andie's POV

"It wasn't easy for me to say that. Can you walk slowly!?"

He said to me, after hearing what he said, I just kept on walking. It's his birthday, but he has no one to spend it with. If spending the Christmas alone is already such a huge burden to carry, what more to man like him, who is not only going to spend Christmas alone, but his Birthday as well?

Hindi naman siya mukhang masama. Mula nung nagkakilala kami, he didn't do anything to offend me badly(well except him holding my hand.) Bukod dun, wala naman na siyang ginawang karumal-dumal.

I think his behavior is well acceptable, and so I thought---- why not spend Christmas together?

Tutal wala rin naman akong kasama, at kung mag-isa lang ako siguradong maboboring lang ako sa bahay. His idea isn't bad after all.

I'll just think of it like a fan meeting so I won't feel that awkward. Me, fulfilling a fan's wish----dinner together this Christmas. Hmmm.. Sounds great? ^0^

"I said wait for me! You aren't---" I faced him. He almost bumped to me. "I said walk slowly not scare me." 

"10 minutes + 15 minutes."

"What am I a kid?"

"I know a place not too far from here, if you'd be patient."

"I beg your pardon?" He said. Oh no, his eyebrows arched. It is not that kind of place, you dummy. "Are you for real?"

"Dream on, it's not what you think it is okay?" With the look in his face I knew what he was thinking. Huh, do I look like a woman who could easily go out for a ride?

"Dream? Me? Drop it; I am not easy you know."

Huh, siya pa talaga ang hindi easy. Baliw talaga.

"There is nice place I know about 25 minutes away from here----"

"I said---"

"----I can slice you a cake if you wanted to."

"Ca..cake?"

"How do you like your seaweed soup?"

"Seaweed soup? Does this mean you're---"

I nodded.

"Yes I am coming with you."

Andie's POV

Yes I am coming with him. Magkasama kami pero habang naglalakad kami, I didn't say any word. Mamaya kung ano na naman ang isipin niya. Baka sabihin pa niyang type ko siya kaya ko siya sasamahan! Pff, mas maganda ng ganito. But just as I expected he really can't afford to keep silent.

"Don't you think we're walking for too long already? Can't we take a ride?"

Ride? San naman kami kukuha ng ride eh wala na ngang dumadaang sasakyan.

I paused then faced him. "Just keep silent and follow me, okay? Unless you have a better idea on how to get us out of here.. fast?"

"Of course I do."

"You do?"

He nodded.

"You do, then why are you saying it just now?"

"Well, I thought you're doing this purposely to be with me longer. I don't wanna spoil your happiness."

Tsk, sinasabi ko na nga ba!
