HAWAIIAN PIZZA DELIGHT
I don't know what it is with a Nicholas Sparks movie. Even his romance novels.
If it is about the sappy old romance, the swoon worthy male leads, the tear-jerking plots, or how it just portrays love in a very classic way.
Like how love is undying. How love requires sacrifice. And how it is all worth it.
"So baby, what movie would you like to see? Hmmmm?" Niccolo was standing behind me. His hands on each side of my hips. He's pretending to look at the set of movies being flashed on the top screens of the ticket booth when clearly he's just standing behind me, smelling and playing with my hair.
I can feel it. I can feel him smelling the top of my hair and his hot breath fanning strays of my baby hair.
What is it that he loves in my hair anyway? I use the same old shampoo everyday. And not just because we are having a date today, doesn't mean I'll go all out of my way to buy a very well known and expensive brand of shampoo. After all when exposed to the sun my hair will smell just the same.
I always wear my long dark hair loose nearly touching my mid lower back. The only time I tie it up into a high ponytail is when I'd have to do something strenuous or when Niccolo and I had our morning jogging sessions.
I am wearing a normal looking red t-shirt that has a yellow sponge bob printed on it and a matching dark maong pants and my trusty black chucks. Niccolo on the other hand being effortlessly drop dead handsome as always wore a beige polo shirt and black khaki shorts and the usual black with white sneakers he wears in court.
Pang lima pa kami sa pila pero yung babaeng ticket seller sa booth eh kitang kita kong nakatingin na sa amin. Or more so sa kanya. Lumingon ako at napatingin kay Niccolo. Kunot noo. Tumigil na siya sa pag amoy ng buhok ko na para bang nahuli ko siyang may ginagawang kung ano sa likod ko.
"What?" He said guiltily raising both hands.
Napanguso ako. Bakit lahat na lang halos ng babae tinitignan siya. Lalo ko lang pinagmasdan ang mukha niya. Mula sa medyo maayos pero madalas na magulo na buhok, sa mga makakapal at mahahabang kilay, sa mga itim na itim na matang malalalim at nakakalunod tignan, sa magandang hubog ng panga, matangos na ilong, at sa labing...
Napabuntong hininga ako.
Oo na. Gwapo ka naman talaga. Sabi ng isang parte ng utak ko.
Bumalik ang tingin ko sa nag fa-flash na oras ng mga ipinapalabas na movie sa araw na yun. Itinaas ko ang isang kamay at tinuro ang kanina ko pang tinitignan na palabas.
"The Longest Ride." Tipid kong sabi.
"Okay. Ako na." Prisinta niya.
"Sige bibili lang ako ng snack natin." Tatalikod na sana ako ng hulihin niya ang kamay ko at pagsalikupin ang mga iyon.
