How am I so into you? (RICCI RIVERO)

Chapter XVI: Bite me

Z A U N E A

After eating, since I didn't have any agenda, sinamahan ko nalang sya bumili ng hairwax.

"Zauny, what do you think..."
And he raised two different waxes on each of his hands.

"This one or this one?" He asked.

"Don't you like pomades? Ito oh!" And I showed him one I got from the other shelves.

"I'm not much into wet looking hair eh.." he said.

"Uhm, edi ito. Wax pomade. In one. Wax can dry up your hair. And pomade does the opposite. It says here na it's basically pomade but it pays off as matte" I told him.

"Oo nga no. Sige yan nalang. Galing mo, pwede ka na magtinda. " sabi nya habang tumatawa at binigay ko na yung wax pomade sa kanya.

" Baliw, pag ikaw mamahalan ko. " I told him and put my tongue out.

"Ayieee, mahal nya ko." Pangaasar nya while poking my cheeks.

" huh? Ang kapal mo. Di na pala kita pagtitindahan. " and I rolled my eyes at him.

" Can I have one Zaunea Rodriguez please?....."we even stopped walking towards the counter when he moved in front of me and rubbed his chin na parang nagiisip
talaga.

"For take out" sabi nya at taas baba pa ang mga kilay.

I hit his arm jokingly and laughed. Parang ako yung nasaktan sa tigas ng muscles nya.

Then we stood in line together to pay for it. I'd be a waiting athlete if it was going to be like this lagi

Bukod sa kaunti lang ang tao sa mall, Zaun is all I see like kanina while I was buying my wax, kahit na nasa men's section ako I knew exactly where she went without her telling me.

Now I have nothing to do than stare at her while walking and try my best to not be lost in her eyes. 

"Sa'n na tayo pupunta?" She asked.
"Ikaw? Lakad muna tayo sa park?" I offered. Then she nodded.

As soon as we stepped out of the main mall, she took off her hoodie

"Teka ang jinet dito sa labas bakla" sabi nya. "Kanina bumabagyo pa ah"
