Sofie's POV

I stared at his eyes before answering him. "Obviously Ricci, obviously."

I saw his wide eyes faded as he cleared his throat and smirked. Hmm, tryna be cool, huh?

"So ikaw pala, huh?" he asked as we made way to our table. Pinauna niya ko sa paglalakad. Shet, gentleman naman pala.

When we reached our table, he offered to guide me as I seat. Kahit gusto ko man, I should never let my guard down. Iba ang ipinunta ko dito hindi paglalandi.

"A-ako na lang." I said as I seated. Ugh, why do I have to stutter?

Umupo na rin siya sa harap ko. Pinagsiklop niya ang kanyang dalawang kamay at ipinatong ito sa table. Then he looked at me. Puta wag ganyan! Bad yan beh bad yan!

I cleared my throat before speaking. "A pleasant eve—"

I was cut off from what I was about to say when he spoke. "Why not let's order first before having a chit-chat? I'm hungry, QUIET girl." I just rolled my eyes on his endearment. Tingnan na lang natin mamaya kung maging quiet pa ko, Ricci.

"Sure. Order what you want, it's on me." I said as I scanned the menu that I got from the table.

I saw him shrugged his shoulders as he called the waiter for his order. Umorder na rin ako.

While waiting for our food, cellphone lang siya ng cellphone. Minsan naman nakikita kong tumitingin siya sakin tapos tumatawa. Gosh, may dumi ba sa mukha ko!

I decided to go the comfort room para icheck ang sarili ko. I had never been conscious like this one in my whole existence. Tatayo na sana ko sa upuan ko nang magsalita siya.

"Where are you going?" he asked, still looking at his phone. Sa CR. Bakit, sasamahan mo ko? Char!

"Comfort room." I answered.

He dropped his phone on the table and he looked at me. "You don't have to check yourself. Honestly..." he tilted his head as he scanned my face. Wait, why was he scanning my face?

"Honestly... you're simple but you look beautiful tonight." he continued that made me look like a tomato. Paano niya nalaman na naco-conscious ako!

Ganon pa man, hindi ako nagpahalata even if I can feel myself blushing. I stood still as I stared at his almost perfect face.

"I'm gonna pee." I said. "Why? You want to join me?" I smirked.

Nakita kong napabuka ang bibig niya at napatawa. "Oh, my pleasure?"

"Fuck you." I blurted on him before rolling my eyes. Pumunta na ko ng banyo at nilock ang pinto. Napahinga ako ng malalim pagkasandal ko sa pintuan nito.

Gosh, our set up was so awkward.

We're talking like we're close but we're actually not. And I can't believe this, I am cussing!

I know that he's only kidding awhile ago but I can't prevent myself from feeling kilig. Like okay, I understand that I have an agenda here pero can you blame me? I am still a fan and I love him so much even if I had witnessed things.
