Dreamed Love Story

15. Flirting 101

I was smiling from ear to ear habang ini-imagine kung anong mangyayari bukas. He even invited me to their practice game.

OA na kung OA, pero para sakin, malaking bagay na yun. Niyaya niya ako eh. Napaisip ako, espesyal din ba ako sa kanya?

Wait! What?! DIN?!

Waaah. Saan nanggaling yung 'din'? It just slip in my thought. Maybe, it's my unconscious emotion. And I realized, he is already special for me.

The wild beatings of the heart, the wide smiles, the fleeting feeling when I'm with him, and the constant blushings.

Realization hit me. Di ko man namamalayan, alam kong napasok na niya ang sistema ko. The walls I've built for the past years, he penetrated them without much difficulty.

Dati, ilag ako sa mga lalaki. Dati, kung kinikilig man ako, sa mga movies and books lang iyon.

Now, it's different. It's all about Blake. And I'll make sure he'll fall for me, as well.

Siya ang kauna-unahang taong hinayaan kong mapasok ang mundo ko. And I promised to myself, that the very first person who could open my heart, would be the very person I would want to spend my lifetime with. Childish man pakinggan, pero yun ang pinaniniwalaan ko.

I can't really fathom Blake's mind. Hindi mo masyadong malalaman kung anong iniisip niya, unless he want to show it to you.

Starting tomorrow, I would seduce Blake with all my might. Makakaya ko 'to.

Morning came and I prepared for school. Habang naliligo, naalala ko yung mga pinag-iisip ko kagabi. Magagawa ko kaya yun?

I was sitting on my chair, sweating. Hinihintay ko si Blake, para isakatuparan ang plano kong akitin siya. Pero shit lang, dahil sobrang kinakabahan ako.

When I saw Blake entering our classroom, I prepared a sweet smile. Yung tipo ng ngiting pwede ng langgamin. Okay, corny. Kinakabahan lang talaga ako.

That sweet smile faded when I saw him smiling sweetly at me. That wide smile of mine now looks like a grimace. Akala ko ba ako ang mang-aakit, eh bakit ako yata yung naaakit?

I mentally slapped my face. Di ko alam kung saan ko nahuhugot yung mga kabaliwan kong naiisip. Kapag nalaman ni mama ang naiisip ko ngayon, malamang pinagalitan na ako.

I was raised by conservative parents. When it comes to ligawan, the first move must come from the guy. At ang mga naiisip at pinaplano kong gawin ngayon, taliwas ito sa mga itinuro ni mama. Maybe it is laready an effect of reading too much romance stories and watching romantic films.

"Good morning, baby."

My breathing hitched. My heartbeats became irregular. I doesn't own my heart anymore, Blake has the authority over it already. His mere voice already brings turmoil in my system.

"Good morning." Baby. I badly wanted to say that word. Isa pa tong baby-churva na to eh. Maka 'baby', akala mo girlfriend niya ako, hindi naman nagtatapat or ano. Not that I'm expecting for it, I'm just hoping. Masyadong magkaiba 'yun.

"So, manunuod ka ng game mamaya?" He asked.

"Of course. I already said yes, right?" I smiled at him and he smiled back.

Nung dumukwang siya palapit sa akin, agad akong umatras with matching big eyes. OMG. Hahalikan ba dapat niya ako? My gosh, hindi ako prepared dito.

"Bakit ka lumayo? Come here, I'll fix some messy strands of your hair."

What he said made me relieved, and disappointed at the same time. Halik talaga, ah? Ang feeling ko lang.

He stepped closer and fixed my hair. Napangiti ako dahil sa ginawa niya. He's so sweet, no wonder I'm falling for him effortlessly.
