Chapter 8
Legs & Fun

Nagsisimula na kaming magkasundo ni Timothy. After the talk we had, mas naging magaan ang pagsasama namin. We don't fight anymore. We don't treat each other like strangers anymore. We became friends or closer to that.

"Masarap ba?"

Timothy asked as I took a bite of my stake. Tumango ako. The meat was soft and tender that it melts inside my mouth. Magaling talagang pumili itong si Timothy ng restaurant.

"Kumain kana din." I told him.

Itinuro ko ang kanyang stake na hindi niya pa ginagalaw. He is just watching me as I slaughter mine and it's getting awkward.

"Okay." Sabi niya at agad nang sumubo.

We are slowly getting along or that's what it seems. We met at a very bad timing and situation. But that was in the past and we cannot change it.

Kinuha ko ang baso ng juice at uminom mula roon. I licked my lower lip to get rid of the little amount of liquid spilled on my lips.

"Don't do that." Aniya.

"Huh?" Napakunot naman ako ng noo.

"Don't lick your lips."

"What's your problem?"

Mukha yatang kailangan kong bawiin ang sinabi ko kanina.

"It looks sexual."

"Manyakis!"

Tumawa lang ito at parang hindi man lang apektado sa tawag ko sa kanya. Nagpatuloy kami sa pagkain at hindi ko na muling inulit ang ginawa ko kanina.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nagpasya kaming maglibot libot muna sa mall. It has been a while since I went to one. Masyado ko talagang kinareer ang pagdadrama at pagmumukmok noon na napabayaan ko ang sarili ko. I don't shop anymore and do other things girls on my age should be doing.

Honestly, I'm not really one of those girls who enjoy shopping. Mas gugustuhin ko pang humilata sa kama at magbasa ng libro buong araw kaysa gumala.

So, bakit ba talaga kami nandito sa mall?

Simply because Timothy indirectly asked me to go on a date with him. Yup, INDIRECTLY. Sabi niya samahan ko daw siya dahil may bibilhin siya. Pero hanggang ngayon ay wala pang binibili ang loko.

"Mel."

"Yes?"

"Mag bihis ka."

"May pupuntahan tayo?"

"Yes."

"Saan naman? Is it urgent?"

"I'll tell you later. Just hurry up and get dress." He said and immediately stormed out of the room.

What's with him? He actually looked uncomfortable. Saan kaya kami pupunta gayong maaga pa. It's only 9am.

Nagmadali akong maligo at nagbihis. Isang high waist maong shorts na tinernohan ng maluwang na stripe shirt ang napili kong isuot. Nagsuot din ako ng puting sneakers. Nag pulbo lamang ako at lipstick dahil iritado na si Mr. Ibañez sa akin.
