CHAPTER 13
"I THOUGHT WE were about to go home," I chided him as he placed me down and pulled me inside the mall.
"May bagong store daw ng mga damit dito. Let's take a look. And oh, let's take out Chinese food tonight. Sounds good?"
"Ang dami-dami mo nang damit. At saka, ayaw mo bang magluto?"
He faced me and said, "Kapag nagluto pa ako, hindi natin maaasikaso iyang pisngi mo."
"Edi umuwi na tayo kaagad at bukas ka na bumili ng damit."
"Ikaw ang bibilhan ko, siraulo. Halika na. Hindi tayo magtatagal dito."
Hawak niya ang kamay ko at alam kong wala siyang balak na bitiwan ako kaya naman hindi ako kumilos nang papasok na kami sa isang store na mukhang kabubukas nga lang din sa dami ng tao. Alam ko na kung bakit gusto niya itong puntahan.
The store's name is Pastel Castle and literally every clothing and apparel you see seemed like they're fabricated straight from unicorn puke.
"Hindi ka pa rin ba nasasatisfy sa dami ng mga pinamili mong damit sa akin?"
"I want to dress you up some more, come on," he pouted and he sounded almost as if he was about to cry because he couldn't convince me to let him shop for clothes. I don't get him but he's damn cute right now.
"Wala ka nang pera!"
Hindi ko inasahan ang ginawa niya. Umupo siya sa sahig at saka tumingala sa akin habang nakasimangot nang hindi pinakakawalan ang kamay ko. Napansin ko na ang papadagdag nang papadagdag na atensyong nahuhuli namin sa harap ng store kaya naman sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"Hindi ka tatayo?"
Umiling ito nang nakanguso pa rin.
"Hindi talaga?"
He made himself clear when he stretched his legs on the floor like a five-year-old. I had no idea how he managed to heat up my cheeks just like that but he did or maybe it's just because I am getting aware of the crowd attention we are getting. Girls were looking at him and were constantly giggling. I even caught one group of teenagers that could have been snapping photos or worse, Tiktok videos of us.
Napabuntong hininga tuloy ako at saka pumikit.
"Fine."
I immediately caught him grinning widely and in just about a split second he sprung up and was already taking me inside the store.
He pushed me down the cubed couch and began to wind through the files of garments, expertly pulling this and that and tossing these and that to the fluffy pink basket, ignoring flabbergasted female customers who began watching him as he enthusiastically scanned the clothes.
He isn't even wearing flashy clothes.
He isn't even trying yet he catches everyone's attention.
Now that I look at him from this distance, I think he was indeed less femme than how I see him. Minutes later, he came back with approximately five shopping bags that were about to explode.
"You're so impossible," I commented as we walked up to the Chinese restaurant.
He was smiling all the way home and can you guess what? He didn't even mind about my insults about his addiction to candy colors.
We took the jeepney on our way to the tower and he was really acting so giddy about the stuffs he bought. "Isukat mo later para makita ko ha?"
Pinagbuksan kami ni CJ at todo ang irap nito nang makita ang dala ni Knight. Inagaw man nito ang supot ng take out na pagkain ay hindi naalis sa kanya ang pagiging kontrapelo niya sa kasiyahan ng kanyang kuya.
