~ Almost
Matapos kumanta si Matt ay pinakanta rin nila si Philip. Inubos ko naman ‘yung red wine sa baso ko. Tumayo naman ako pagkatapos at nagpaalam na magpapahangin lang sa veranda.
Nung nasa veranda na ako, tumayo lang ako dun at sumandal sa pader. I can see the waters from here. So refreshing!
I closed my eyes. Ang sarap ng hangin.

“Do you mind if I join you?”
Nagulat naman ako at may biglang nagsalita. I looked at the direction of the door and found a guy smiling at me – si Matt.
“Not really,” I smiled back.
Lumapit naman siya at tumabi sa akin. Sumandal din siya habang nakatingin sa dagat.
There was an awkward silence that followed.
“Did you like my song?” He asked me while still looking at the beach.
“Not bad. I think you would be a really good attraction sa foundation week,” I smirked.
He chuckled.
“Ano ako, booths? rides?”
I smiled.
“Pero napansin ko lang...”
From the corner of my eye, I saw his head turned.
“Napansin ko lang na parang ang lungkut-lungkot mo nung kinakanta mo ‘yun... May special someone ka ba na pinag-aalayan nun?”
Tumingin ako sa kanya. I saw his face emotionless.
“Yeah. You don’t need to answer that. It’s none of my business.”
He smirked then walked towards me. He trapped me with his two muscular arms and moved his face closer to mine. His face was just a few inches away from mine. I can almost feel his breath.
“Why do you want to know?”
Then he moved his face closer to mine...
“Ah ka.. kasi...”
Tae lang! Why am I even stammering?
He moved even closer to me.
Lubdub. Lubdub. Lubdub.
Isang maling galaw ko lang eh mahahalikan ko na siya este mahahalikan na niya ako. Arghh! Bakit ba parang na-froze na ako rito sa kinatatayuan ko!
“Bakit?” He said in his sexy, husky voice. “Nagseselos ka ba?”
My eyes widen. Ang kapal talaga ng isang ito!
Then his eyes looked down... They’re seem to be looking at my... my lips? Shocks!
Lubdub. Lubdub. Lubdub.
Guys, I need some help here! Maha-hyperventilate na ata ako.
Then, he tilted his head. I gulped. Slowly, he moved his face closer and closer to mine...

“Matt?”
A voice suddenly said na nagpabalikwas sa aming dalawa ni Matt.
