How am I so into you? (RICCI RIVERO)

Chapter XXXII: Sasha Suplada

I passed Aljun and Kib's direction again after hearing the door chimes. They were looking at me with air trapped in their mouths.

I stood straight at the counter and ironed my apron with my hands.

"Isang n—"
Lord, pwede mo na po akong kunin. Kung ayaw nyo po pwedeng lupa nalang tatanggapin ko nalang po mawala lang ako sa kinaroroonan ko.

He sarcastically smirked and scratched the tip of his nose with his knuckle. What's with boys and that habit? Kala nyo cute? Good guess.

"Two hot chocoffee cups with peppermint leaves. No caffeine"sabi nyang diretso ang tingin sa'kin.

Hindi ko napigilan at nagkunwaring may pinipindot sa computer.

"For to-go po?"sabi ko ng hindi tumitingin sa kanya.

"Oo yung pwede ko iuwi." From my peripheral vision nakita kong ngumisi sya at dinilaan ang mga labi nya.

Bastos 'to ah.

I tried to contain myself. I glanced at the cheat sheet on how to make it. Bibilisan ko nalang para lumayas na 'to.

I turned around, closed my eyes and sighed. Kape lang to bes.

I put my hair up so I could work better.
Baka malagyan pa ng buhok ko yung iseserve ko.

I can't hide how funny I find Zaunea working here. It's like, it's not her thing. When we went out for a mexican lunch she told she didn't like coffee because unhealthy daw pero she's here selling them.

Kitang kita ko na wala syang pinipindot dun sa system kasi walang tumutunog at lumalabas dun sa parihabang viewer.

She turned around probably containing herself.

"Uy, uy uy" I exclaimed with three repetitive words that she shouldnt do that.

I grabbed her hair tie na pinangipit nya from across the counter.

"Bakit mo tinanggal?" Gulat syang
humarap sakin.

"Panget mo." I said with a blank face.

How could she have such white and tight neck?

"Ha?" Nagtatakang tanong nya.

"Di bagay sayo. Ito bagay sa'yo..." I messed with her hair and put most of it on her face.

Nung naharangan na ang buong mukha nya..
"Ayan bagay yan.."

PINAGTITRIPAN BA 'KO NITO?!
Pasalamat sya at nasa duty ako.

Inayos ko yung buhok ko gamit ang kamay ko at ginawa na yung inorder nya.

Asan ba yung peppermint na extract na yun? Wala naman nun dito eh.
