Yes! We're officially together. No more second guessing. No more grey areas. He is now my boyfriend. He's MINE!
MINE. Possessive lang Kim. I can't help but laugh at myself.
I was ready to let him go. Forget everything I'm feeling for him. But who knew, fate has other plans for us. I stare at the person beside me. His attention focused on the people dancing around the bonfire. I watch as his eyes catch the glistening flame. I see happiness in them and that makes me even happier.
"You're staring again, Kimmy." He said without looking at me.
"No! I'm gazing." I placed an arm around his waist.
He lowered his glance at me, meeting my eyes. "That's the same." Giving the tip of my nose a peck.
"Mas romantic naman yung gazing. Staring is for stalkers." I pouted.
He did not say anything. Instead, he wrapped his arms around me and brought me closer to him. I buried my face into his chest. Feeling his heartbeat, I can't help but smile. This is where I want to be forever, safe and warm in his arms.
"Let's go. I'll take you back to your hotel. My baby might catch a cold."
Baby. I love how it sounds.
"You know where I'm staying?" I asked curiously.
"Of course." We started walking towards the parking lot.
"How?" I crinkled my nose.
"I've got my sources." He then winked as he opened the door for me. He circled the car and got in the driver's seat.
"Ha?! Eh pano nga. Xi naman." I was tugging on his arm like a little kid.
"Mimay, huwag makulit. I'm driving." He calmly said.
"Kaw kasi ayaw mo sabihin. And by the way pano mo nalaman kung saan ako mahahanap. Stalker ka noh? Or pinapasundan mo ko? Ang creepy mo!" I hit his arm and slumped on my chair with arms crossed. Opting to look at the window.
"I'm not creepy. I'm romantic." He grabbed my hand and held it. "Hay. Basta. I just know where to search for my heart."
I must admit, kinilig naman ako sa sinabi niya. Sige na nga. Di na ko magtatanong. I looked at him. He's smiling sweetly at me. I smiled back.
He kissed my hand that he was holding. "When you left, I almost lost it. You are all I could think of. I missed you so much. Bechay won't tell me anything. Kahit si Vic ayaw magsalita. That's when I made the decision to follow you here. I was able to watch your last show."
"Ha?! Matagal ka ng andito? Bakit ngayon ka lang nagpakita?" Nagulat ako sa mga sinabi niya.
"Let me finish. This is my moment." He stifled a laugh. "I guess I was waiting for the right timing. I went to your hotel the day you were supposed to go back to Manila. I heard a group from your network na magpapaiwan ka raw. I thought why, then remembered what happened between us. You were avoiding me. I was about to leave when I saw you by the lobby with Mark, you two were hugging. Ayun, i assumed again."
Silence.
"I've been following you for days. I've been staying at the same hotel. A few rooms away from yours. Kaya oo. Stalker na kung stalker. Hahaha. Sorry if I've been so coward at ngayon lang ako nagkalakas loob magpakita sayo. Akala ko kasi kaya kong pagmasdan at mahalin ka sa malayo. Di pala. Sor..."
I did not let him finish. I placed my finger on his lips. "Shhh. Tama na. Ikaw kasi puro ka akala. Lagi na kang nag aassume. Minsan try mo magtanong ha."
