    "Hunter ang kulit mo!" Suway ako ng suway kay Hunter dahil wala na siya ibang ginawa kung hindi kuhanan ako ng mga litrato. "Isa! Babasagin ko talaga 'yang camera mo."

    "I like taking shots of breathtaking views." Sabi niya saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagkuha niya ng mga litrato ko.

    Nangulay kamatis ang mukha ko. Nakita ko ang pagsilay ng ngiti niya. "You look more beautiful when you blush." He teased.

    "E-Ewan ko sayo!" Tinakpan ko ang namumula kong mukha. Tuwa lamang siya.

    "You really are adorable." Nabigla ako ng yakapin niya ako. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. "Who would've thought we'll be this close?"

    Napatingala ako sa kanya. He's looking at me as well. He smiled gently. "I was really annoyed about your presence. I also found you intimidating. Well, maybe I had a crush on you back then." He said making me turn even redder.

    Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap niya at nag-iwas ng tingin. "S-Stop." Pagpigil ko sa kanya. Naiilang ako kapag ganito ang usapan. I'm not used to this side of him.

    He chuckled "Look at me." He commanded. I gulped before doing what he has asked me to. "That night at the party, you literally took my breath away. That's when I realized I was into you, that I knew I was going to be crazy about you. I was right." His face lowered to mine. "What have you done to me?"

    "I... I d-don't know." Nauutal kong sagot. I stared straight to his eyes. His charcoal gray eyes that never fails to captivate me.

    "I'm crazy about you. Your face pops out from nowhere. I just want to be with you all the time." He said. He cupped my face and rubbed his thumb gently on my cheek. "Thank you for giving me a chance to hang out with you." His face were only inches away from me. "You'll be mine. I won't let anyone take you away from me." His lips covered mine. I gasped. Everything he said to me left me astounded.

    "I'll make you crazy about me. You'll see." He said after our lips parted and he gave me a winked.

    Napailing na lang ako. "We'll see about, Hunter." Sabi ko na lang.

    He held out his hand to me. I gently put my hand on top of his. We went out of my unit and drove to a near by restaurant. He spent his whole day with me. I like the attention he's giving me. He makes me feel so special.

    We spent the whole day watching movies, eating, teasing each other. It's fun being with him and seeing a new side of him.

    "What would you like to eat?" He asked.

    "Hmm... Kung ano na lang 'yung sa'yo iyon na lang din ang sa akin." Sagot ko naman.

    I looked around the fancy restaurant and I saw a familiar face. Nakatingin din siya sa akin. I gave him a smile and waved at him. Agad din akong nag-iwas ng tingin ng maalala ko ang nangyari sa amin. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng kaba. Baka mamaya lumapit siya sa amin at saka niya buksan ang tungkol sa nangyari sa amin sa concert. Hindi pwedeng malaman ni Hunter iyon.

    "Haidee, are you all right?" Tanong ni Hunter sa akin.

    Tumango ako. "A-Ahh oo naman! Ayos lang ako." Pinilit kong ngumiti ng masigla.

    Hindi naman siguro gagawin ni Dave ang nasa isip ko. Sinabi na ni Hunter sa waiter ang order namin.

    "So, what are your likes and dislikes?" Tanong niya sa akin.

    "Well... I like strawberries. I don't like chocolates that much, I think they're too sweet. I like flowers, roses to be exact. I like listening to music or eating when I'm stressed. I love reading books." Sabi ko.
