Torn

Chapter 8 First kiss

#TornFirstKiss

One week had passed after nung enrollment, I was busy doing household task when suddenly my phone rang. I don't usually received any text messages kasi sina Jharyd, his family and mama ko lang naman ang may alam nang number ko tapos kakatapos lang naming mag-usap ni Jharyd sa phone at alam niyang may ginagawa ako kaya di yon mang-iisturbo basta hindi importante ang sasabihin. Sino kaya to.

'Unknown Number'

+639778765432

Calling...

Agad na kumunot ang noo ko. Agad akong napaisip kung sino pa ang nakakaalam nang number ko. I really don't answer any calls basta unknown number kaya nagdadalawang isip akong sagutin. Kung importante naman talaga ang sasabihin magtetext naman siguro yang caller na yan. So, I opt to continue my doings and return my phone to its place.

Pasayaw-sayaw lang ako habang nagriring ang phone ko. 'work' by rihanna kasi ang ring tone ko kaya nadadala ako sa tugtog. After a minute, a message tone was on. I quickly go near to the table where I placed my phone.

'Hi beautiful! It's me mark, you busy? wanna hang out with me later?'

Upon reading his message, I can't help but silently smile. Si Mark pala, Nakasave naman ang number niya sa phone ko ba't unknown ang nakalagay?

'owh. It's you. I'm doing households for now. Btw, anong oras?' I replied.

'Maybe 4pm? Do you need a hand? I can help you if you want to.  ' He texted back.

Bigla akong napatingin sa oras. 11am pa. I have 5 more hours to finish this assignment then I'm good.

'4pm sounds good.' I positively response.

'Okay then. I'll pick you up later just wait for me, yeah? '      Napangiti ako. Parang gusto ko nang matapos tong ginagawa ko. I don't know how to act in front of him na kami lang dalawa ang magkasama. I hope it won't be awkward kasi, as much as possible I don't want to leave any bad impression to him.

'Okay. See you!'     I excitedly replied.

Quarter to 3:00pm na nung matapos akong maglinis. Umalis kasi si Mama, kaya ako lang mag-isa ang naglinis nang bahay. I decided to get ready para di na mag-antay nang matagal si mark. I was ironing my hair when the doorbell rings. Agad akong napatigil sa ginagawa ko, my heart jump with the excitement. Alam ko na kung sino to. I quickly remove the iron from the socket and open the door.

"Oh. Hi! You.... Look lovely."       Mark said slowly while looking at me up and down.Sa tanang buhay ko, ngayon lang ako sobrang nagpapasalamat sa blush-on. Eh kasi, alam kong sobrang pula nang mukha ko kapag kinikilig. 

I just smile and said thank you. I let him in and served some beverage para di siya mainip habang nag-aantay sa akin. After I closed all of our windows and doors, lumabas na kami ni mark. Napansin kong ibang car ang nakaparada sa labas. "Bago?" Di ko maiwasang itanong.
