Waiting To Hear You Say "I Love You"

Chapter 34 --- Interrupted Date

Chapter 34

Interrupted Date

Felix let Samantha decide on the rides. He told himself that if ever Samantha is not up for extreme rides, he'll understand. That's why he was quite surprised that Samantha wanted to ride the drop tower first.

"Are you sure?" He asked her. She nodded vigorously. Kita sa mukha nito ang excitement. He can't help but smile.

Samantha will definitely overwrite the memories he had with his family. Specifically, the hardships he'd been through because of Amethyst.

Samantha always dreamt of having her first date at an amusement park. Yung tipong sobrang saya katulad ng mga napapanood nya sa mga romantic movies. True, this is not their first date. But at least this is their first real date. She even bought new dress for today. Naglakas loob pa syang abalahin si Amethyt para magpasamang bumili ng isusuot nya para sa araw na to. Siya lang naman kasi ang maaasahan nyang makakaalam ng outfit na magugustuhan ni Felix. Nagustuhan nga ba nya?

She glanced at Felix. Nagulat na lamang sya nang makita nya itong nakatingin sa kanya.

They were both caught off guard. Pareho ring nahiya at sabay pang nag-iwas ng tingin.

"Bakit sya nakatingin?!" Samantha asked herself. Awtomatik syang napakapa sa mukha nya. "May dumi ba sa mukha ko?"

"Damn," Felix cursed under his breath. Nahuli syang nakatingin kay Samantha. At ni Samantha pa mismo. Sabagay. Sino nga bang hindi mapapatitig kay Samantha? She screams attention. Hindi lang naman sya ang napapatingin dito. Marami ng lalaki ang nakukunan nya ng atensyon. And he didn't like it one bit. Kahit na ba hindi na kasalanan pa ni Samantha na nakakakuha sya ng atensyon, hindi nya talaga gusto na may ibang tumitingin sa kanya. He didn't even care less about the girls ogling him. Ni hindi na nga nya napapansin ang mga ito dahil na kay Samantha lang ang atensyon nya. Kaya hindi rin makaligtas sa atensyon nya ang mga lalaking tumitingin at tumititig kay Samantha.

The crew caught both of their attention. It was now their turn to sit. Magkatabi sila, nakaharap sa unahan. Kita nila ang mga taong nakatingin sa kanila.

Napakunot noo pa si Felix nang makita nyang may grupo ng lalaki ang nakatingin sa direksyon nila. Yung isa ay tinuro pa si Samantha. Jealousy got the best of him. He looked at Samantha and offered his hand. Nagtataka naman iyong tiningnan ng dalaga. "C-Can I hold your hand?"

Hindi na naintindihan pa ni Samantha ang nangyayari nang kusa ng hinawakan ng binata ang kamay nya. He intertwined his with hers and waited patiently for the ride to start.

Hindi nya alam kung ano ang dahilan ng lakas ng kabog ng puso nya. Kung dahil ba sa magsisimula na ang ride o dahil sa hawak ni Felix ang kamay nya. Maalin man sa dalawa, hindi nya magawang mapakali. Sobra syang kinakabahan!

The ride almost gave her a heart attack. Ni hindi na nya nagawang sumigaw dahil sa sobrang gulat. Just a few seconds ago, they were at the top then... Bam... They were already near the ground.

"What the fuck." Napalingon sya kay Felix. Kita nya ang gulat sa mukha nito. Maya-maya'y nilingon sya nito. "Nasundan mo ba yung nangyari?"

Umiling sya bilang sagot.

They were both at a shocked state when they realized something that made them laugh. Bigla na lang kasing bumaba ang inuupuan nila at a really fast pace. Umangat pa sila sa inuupuan nila dahil sa impact.

Samantha got off of her seat with a smile on her face and a weak knee. Nakakapanlambot sa tuhod ang drop tower lalo na kung first time mo. And it was Samantha's first.
