The surreal setting of sun reminds me of how wonderful my reality is. That those days of hardships and fall out just passed as if it never really happened. I was reminded of my thinking years ago, thinking if I will ever experience things like going out with him, spending time with him, living with him as a whole. He's surreal but real.Napansin niya siguro ang titig ko sa kaniya kaya napalingon siya. He smiled warmly, as the setting sun.
"Stop that. It's difficult to drive when you're beside me, makes me want to stop the car and kiss you."
Those lines he keep telling me couldn't be ignored by my system. The heat immediately went up my face and, I know, red as apple. He's really good at these things. Makes me wonder if he's ever told other girls those when I was gone.
"Then stop the car and kiss me."I said. He then chuckled. "What?"
"Since when did you learn naughty things?" He asked, amused.
"When did I became naughty?" I asked playing innocent. Napapailing siya sa mga ginagawa ko ngayon. I really want to tease him because I miss him badly.
I stare at his face again and memorize his features. Baka matatagalan na naman ang susunod naming pagkikita dahil sa schedule namin. If I will be accepted in my job, then I will be very much occupied. I can give him time but nonetheless it's just a spur moment. I will really miss him.
"I can't stop the car, love. We have strict schedule tonight. Couldn't slow down either." Aniya looking straight ahead.
"Uhuh, so you must endure my stare." I laugh, teasing him even more. He groans, frustrated.
He lift my left hand which he was holding since the ride and gave the back of it a long peck. Gustong gusto kong ginagawa niya saakin ang mga ganitong bagay. It suits him well, and I love small gesture like this. He never made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy. He always think the best for me. This guy.
"Are we there yet?" Pangungulit ko. I am playing with his thumb for minutes now. Naaliw ako dahil ang laki ng thumb niya. I compared it with mine and it was very little. Very small. However, when he holds it, they fit together. Magical.
"Almost, why? Gutom ka na?"
"We'll have dinner there?" Trip ko talagang magapaka cute ngayon sa kaniya. I want him to be pissed off pero mukhang hindi ata 'yon mangyayari. Pasensyoso e.
"Yup. Where will we eat? You decide." Aniya, naka tingin parin sa kalsada pero pasilip silip saakin.
"I am not good at this. You can choose." Hindi talaga ako marunong mamili sa mga ganitong bagay. I want him to choose the food for us since he's good at cooking.
"Well, let's see. We're almost there." He smiled.
After minutes, he stopped the car in a very dark place. I am not a fan of dark places without traces of lights. And when I say dark, it's the darkest you could ever think off. Head lights lang ang nagpapailaw saamin ditl and it's not cool. I'm starting to panick. I felt him squeeze my hand so I look at him.
"Hey, baka brown out lang. It'll be fine." He smiled at me reassuringly which gave me comfort a little. Tumango ako. I started to unbuckle my seatbelt. Nang lalabas na sana ako, he stopped me and went out of the car.
He opened the door for me and guide me out. Ts, gentleman. I smiled crazily. I am crazy. It's creeping me out! Nang naka labas ako'y mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay ko. It's as if he's telling me he's never gonna let go of me again. I can't see his face now but I can sense his genuine expression. I hope I can forever feel your soul Arjay. I love you.
