Six

I watch my palm as the sweat on it are going crazy. It is the sign na kinakabahan ako. I waited at Rockwell, I check my phone if she texted me and she did.

iMESSAGE
Sofia Buaya
3:04 pm, Friday

I'm on my way.

Okay. I'll be
here waiting.

I watch her as she walks towards me, I can feel her tense. There. I see her standing in front of me. Damn. She's so pretty. She's always pretty. Even her soul is pretty.

"Uhm, let's get some food," I managed to say it, even though I feel awkward. While we were walking, someone called my name.

"Hi Donny!! Omg ang pogi mo talaga! Pwede magpa-picture?" the girl said jumping in excitement.

"Hi, ofcourse." I smiled at her and hugged her. We took a selfie. Sofia is watching us, she's laughing secretly.

"Hi are you Sofia?" the girl asked Sofia.

"Uhm, yes." she nodded with a smile,

"Let's take a picture together please?" the girl said. They took pictures together with different poses which is really cute.

After bumping to some fans, we went to Mcdonald's and ordered. We were sitting somewhere na wala gaanong tao so that we can talk. She's a bit busy with her phone, but immediately put it down.

"So, sabi ni Hannah you signed a contract with Viva, that's why you live here na?" I started.

She nodded. "Look, I wanted to apologize about a month ago," she cuts me off.

"It's nothing, sorry for being a pathetic friend."

"Hey, it's actually my fault because I was being stupid following Karina." I said.

"It's fine, people do for love." she smirked. "But please tell me the reason why she told you to ignore me?" she added.

"She was jealous of you, do you remember that night we talked before I started ignoring you. She knew we were talking that night. She was mad because I didn't tell her about it." I explained, she just laughed. "Why are you laughing?" I asked her really confused.

"Because of that you started ignoring me?"

"No, she thought there is something going on between us," I said, natahimik siya.

"Anong nangyari?" I asked her, she just looked at me really serious and there is something behind those eyes I see.

"I thought I was going to lose you because of Karina," she stated.

"What do you mean?" I'm a little bit confuse right now.

"You know, I hate losing a friend. Not like literal like dying or something. I mean, just forgetting the memories we had." she said with a serious face. "I've experienced that before kasi," she added.

"Oh. Me too, I don't like losing a friend." I said.

"I have to tell you something," she said with a serious face again. "Here's your order Ma'am and Sir enjoy your meal." the waiter said, what was it?

We had our food and ate it ofcourse. We talked about random stuffs. But I keep on thinking, what was the thing she's going to say? We took pictures as usual. It feels great to hang out with her again. We were walking in the sidewalk to go to my car, I'm driving her home.

Sofia's POV

I'm inside his car, I can still smell his perfume which smells so good. I'm sitting next to him in the front seat while he drives.

I opened the windows, like what you see in movies. Resting your hands out of the car while it dances, it's beautiful. He smiled at me, the sweetest smile I've seen from him. We were still chatting.

"Hey, what was the thing you wanted to say kanina sa Mcdo?" he asked while watching on the road.

"Stop driving baka magulat ka," I said with a laugh, and he did. He pulled over the car at a convenient store. He also pulled me out of the car after he went out.

Now. We're standing face to face outside the store. He is still holding my hand and let go. "Uhm, I also have something to say to you," he said.

"You go first," I said with a smile.

"No. Mauna ka na."

"Sige na, magsalita ka na Donato Potato," I said with a laugh.

He looked at me. Then he kissed me in the forehead. WAHT? I'm shook.

"I think, I'm in love with a buaya," he said with a smile. Did he really mean it? OMG. We both laugh.

"What were you saying?" he asked me.

"I think, I'm in love with a potato," I laughed and smiled at him.

He hugged me, of course I hugged him back. He's so tall, I like tall guys hugging me kasi I feel so safe and secure. He drives me home safe and sound. I just couldn't forget this night, it was something different. Deep conversations is something. Being true to each other is something and that's what I need.
