Secretly in Love

Entry 10 - This is considered a date, I guess?

Tumayo kami pareho ni Perseus to acknowledge his presence. (Medyo Korean way na din kaya nakasanayan siguro).

Magbobow pa sana ako pero naalala ko galit ako sakanya. Well, I'm not supposed to be acknowledging his presence coz no matter how much I love him, I still hate him... I'm making sense, right?

Right.

"Good morning. Landon, right?" Perseus went to Landon to shake hands.

Tinitigan lang ni Landon yung kamay niya at tumingin na sa gawi ko.

What's up with his manners?

"I won't be long, Lorraine. We need to talk. Either now or later at your office. I'll drop by whether you like it or not." Yan lang sinabi nya at bago pa ako makapagsalita, he stormed to the door.

I turned to look at Perseus. He looked bewildered as I am.

I let out a deep sigh.

"You know what, Perseus.. I don't think I will go to work. I'll just communicate with them through email. Let's just go out?"

Napakunot-noo ni Percy then smiled afterwards--probably recovering from confusion. "Okay." He answered cheerfully. "I brought my car, let's take mine."

"Sure." Kinuha ko yung bag ko after drinking a glass of water then walked to the door.  Agad agad ko namang naramdaman na sumunod si Percy.

I feel shocked, confused, scared and hurt after seeing Landon this morning. I don't know what to think... di ko na alam nangyayare.

I know he's being sincere and I can forgive him... but I don't want to right now. Siguro magandang excuse na din ito to not see him. Moving on will be easier.

Nakasakay na kami sa sasakyan ni Perseus.

"So.. where should we go?"

"I'm not sure..." I answered flatly.

"Hey, Lorraine. Don't stress this too much. I know it's easy to say, but I'm here. If.. that would make you feel better."

I looked at him in the eyes. He's smiling and nararamdaman ko na lang na parang lumalakas yung kabog ng dibdib ko. He's so handsome and charming.. I can't believe this. Sobrang lakas nya makapagpa-goodvibes.

I suddenly heard a ring on my phone.

Mom.

I answered right away. "Hey Mom, oh my I already miss youu!!"

I heard her chuckle. "We'll be back by dinner. Hope you're not away when we get home, though. You don't have any plans later?"

"Of course I don't! And even if I do, I'll cancel that for you guys. Where's Dad?"

"He's here infront of his laptop. Wanna speak to him?"

"If he's infront of his laptop, then he's busy."

Mom chuckled. "Right. So even if you want to, you can't."

"Right. Ha-ha. Anyway, where are we gonna grab dinner?"

"Just at home. I called you coz I spoke with Perseus' mom." I stared at Perseus. Nakatingin pa din siya saken.  "I invited them for dinner. I'm actually really glad that you met Percy. He's a good kid like you. You'll get a long reallly well."

Wait... I know hindi niya sinabi, but is mom like.. pairing me to Perseus? I can freakin sense her emphasis with 'really'.

Oh, whatever. I think I'm just being paranoid. But here's the catch mom---
