Just Another Day at the Beach

Ice Cream

RJ parked his car and got off. We walked side by side then he looked at me. "Maine, thank you nga pala na pinayagan mo akong manligaw ah. Sinabi ko na nga na alam ko na mabilis, pero i've never been more sure of anything in my life.". "Asuuus! RJ ang cute mo!" I said blushing. Obviously flattered but hiding it inside. "Hahatid pa ba kita sa unit mo?". "Di na. Sa lobby nalang.". So we walked to the lobby and i looked at him sincerely. "Thank you RJ for today ha. Had so much fun.". "Oo naman, Maine. Ano nga pala twitter and other social medias mo?". "Text ko nalang sayo. Sabihin mo sakin pag naka uwi ka na ha. Pero teka wait. San ka nga ba titira? Uuwi ka pa bang Batangas?". "Uhh siguro uwi akong Laguna. Kaso lang di alam ng pamilya ko na dadating ako. Baka tulog na nga yung mga yun eh." He said rubbing his nape. "Dito ka nalang matulog, RJ. May sofa ako na kasya ka. Tara akyat na tayo.". "Ok lang, Maine. Kaya ko namang umuwi.". "Sige na RJ. Ang dami mo nang ginawa para sakin, and this is the least i can do. Come on, it's okay lang talaga.". "Sure ka ah? Di ba yun nakakahiya? Ako dapat nagyayaya na matulog ka samin kasi nanliligaw ako?". I looked at him awkwardly because that sounded really weird. "No, i don't mean it that way. Its just that --" "Ano ka ba RJ joke lang yun. Ok lang talaga. Wag ka nang mag alala. May damit ka ba?". "Yun na nga. Wala.". "It's fine. You can borrow some of my oversized shirts.". "Hay nako Maine nakakahiya talaga.". "Talaga lang ha, nahiya ka pa? Tara na nga!" I said grabbing his hand and dragging him to the elevator.

I unlocked the lock to my unit and opened the lights. "Home sweet home." I said to myself. "Sorry magulo yung bahay ha. Di ako nag aayos eh." Nahiya ako sa taong O.C. na toh. "No problem. Nakikitulog na nga ako, mag re reklamo pa ba ako?". May manners din. Liking him so far. I got some sheets and a pillow and plopped it on the gigantic sofa. "Dyan ka matutulog ha kung ok lang? Actually pwede ka sa bed tas ako nalang dito.". "Dito kita pipigilan. Ok na toh, Maine. Salamat.". It wasn't that late yet so i sat on the sofa with him and turned the tv on. "Inaantok ka na ba?" I asked. "Di naman. Text ko lang yung dad ko teka.". I watched tv while he was texting then i stood up and walked to the kitchen. I got the tub of Magnolia Mango Dark Chocolate ice cream and got two spoons. I walked back and plopped myself on the sofa. "Oh ito RJ. Kain tayo." I said handing him the spoon. "Ano tooohh? Bago toh ah.". "Oo. Masarap yan, dali." I got a spoonful and fed him. "Mmm. Sarap noh?". "Mm. Masarap." He said with ice cream in his mouth. "Sorry hahahaha!". As he swallowed i took a look at him. "Masarap talaga ah?". "Oo nga! Penge pa nga." He said scooping his own. And so we ate ice cream in front of the tv for the rest of the night.
