Crazy

She got a new way of saying goodbye.

I woke up remembering the events of yesterday. I never had the courage to ask Mika about the kisses she gave me even after we went home. And yet, those kisses haunted me early in the morning. I couldn't get it off my mind. Couldn't get her off my mind.

She texted me late in the afternoon if she could drop by to watch a TV show with me. As usual, I initially hesitated. A part of me still wanted to stay away from her but a bigger part of me wanted her company so I said yes.

We really did watch a TV show side by side on the sofa. It was a cooking show and when it was finished, we shared a meal from McDo, my choice. Then, I drove her back to her unit because apparently she took a cab going to mine.

Contrary to the blood-pumping experience and sensations I felt yesterday, the time I spent with her today was actually pretty much normal but calming. I liked the small talks we shared and even the comfortable silence that passed between us. I liked it and I thought it would end that way.

However, before she went out of my car, she cupped my face and gave me a lingering kiss that stopped my brain from working.

"Bye, Babe. See you tomorrow!" and there she went, completely alright while I was left with my heart racing.

The promise of seeing her tomorrow made my heart beat crazier.

Her 'Hello' also leveled up.

Mika asked me if I could pick her up from a friend's house. And I don't know what was going on with my life because I had too much free time on my hands so I agreed.

I realized that without Den and since official training hasn't started yet, I've got a lot of time. Time that I didn't mind spending with Mika, I admit. She was nice, okay?

When she entered my car, she greeted me excitedly.

"Hi!"

Then her lips were on mine quickly and away just as quick. But the feeling was etched on my being.

"Sorry sa abala. Tinatamad kasi ako magdrive, eh. Hirap maghanap ng parking," she kept talking as if kissing me was totally normal.

I swallowed. "No problem. Saan tayo?"

"Sa condo ko na lang? May ice cream ako sa ref," she beamed.

I chuckled involuntarily because really, ice cream wasn't that appealing to me but she seemed to think it's everyone's favorite and could make everything better.

"Okay."

The whole ride to her condo was spent in silence. We didn't talk about the kiss. We just hummed along the music. It was comfortable.

We shifted from channels to channels as we ate ice cream. I got a text though from my family so I had to leave.

"Babe, come here," she said, motioning for me to bend down when I already stood up to leave.

And just like that, I got another goodbye kiss from her.

"Ingat sa pagddrive. See you!"

I nodded still processing things slowly.

The smile on my lips started to form once I was on my way home.

Babe. It actually sounds nice and feels nice to say when it's not scripted.
