COME A LITTLE CLOSER The Sequel [COMPLETED]

[A/ N: BACK TO CARENSTEPH'S POV]

It is lunch break already and I haven't received any text from Chian. Well, he's not required to text me naman pero sana man lang meron siyang pa-goodmorning or something diba?

I sighed

Bakit ba ako ganito? Medyo clingy, Self, let him live his life

Hindi naman kayo, wala namang kayo, kung makaemote ka dyan

"ikaw rin naman may gusto ng set up na to" I muttered to myself

"Set up ng ano?" someone asked and when I looked it's Chian and may dala siyang Chinese food

I smiled "wala, I was thinking about my thesis"

"I see" he said "halika and let's eat" he sat on the stairs "ang hirap mong hagilapin"

Nasa stairs kami papunta sa roof top. Before, the uni admin allowed students na tumambay sa roof top pero since merong mga students na ginagawang boxing arena yung area, pinasarhan na lang nila.

"Eh you can text me naman or call?"

"I've been trying actually, sa tingin mo may signal dito?"

"Eh?" I checked on my phone and wala nga "fudge I'm sorry" I grinned

Ang taas ng lugar na to tapos walang signal? Isolated area na ba? I cannot believe this

Chian chuckled "it's okay, pero next time sana text mo sa akin whereabouts mo so that we can meet"

"Are you aware that you're crazy?" I asked

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Ang layo ng building mo dito Mr. Christian and you decided to have lunch with me? In this isolated staircase?"

"Kaya naman gawan ng paraan e" he said "and besides, 2PM pa ulit class ko, so I have all the time in the world" he looked at me and grinned

He opened the Chinese lunch box and gave it to me

"Eat na" he said and I nodded

I cannot believe this, we are acting like a couple kahit hindi naman kami. We had a week of getting to know each other in a shallow way during the vacation. Well, we shared a couple of kiss and...

Fuck! Erase! Erase!

Of all the things na pwede ko maalala

Teka, I was enumerating yung reasons kung bakit ganito treatment namin sa isa't isa

Okay sige

I will allow the kisses

Then having brunch, dinner and all the times we spent eating together

The Aerial Park and the flower garden...

And the slow dance...

I looked at him while opening his Chinese lunch and I think this time, I can freely allow myself to feel something towards him. It's time to never stop myself from feeling something towards Chian

"By the way, I told Melody about you" he said and I just froze for a minute right there "I told her you're Steph, the girl from my vacation"

I sighed "agad agad? I am going to tell her myself, Chian"

"Sorry" he said "I just want her to stop coming to me. Magkakasakitan lang kami Steph and I don't want her to feel na kahit friendship hindi ko mabigay sa kanya"

"Melody told me some things about you and I can say that she's sincere. She loves you so much. I can feel the pain in her eyes everytime nakwekwento ka niya"
