Still Into You (Negros Series #1)

Still Into You 11

I scanned every details of his angelic face even though he is meters away from me. His masculinity stands out. He's just standing and both hands was on his pockets, that La Cuesta's posture that makes girls giggles all the time. This man completely fulfilled my satisfaction. 

Then I realize that no matter how I ignore my feelings, I can't deny the fact that I'm into him. And it grows day by day.

Our eyes met each other. I didn't look away nor pretend that I was looking elsewhere. I was just staying still in my position while we are staring at each other.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya at sa takot sa magiging reaksyon niya ay tumingin nalang ako sa ibang bagay. Pinagmasdan ko ang iilang tao na sumasakay sa bangka sa hindi kalayuan.

I felt shy for a minute. Why did I do that? Goodness gracious Margaux.

Umalis ako sa pwesto ko doon kanina at humanap ng mauupuan. Natatamaan ng araw ang buong katawan sa posisyon ko ngayon. Sumandal ako ng bahagya at pinikit ang mga mata. Anong oras kami uuwi?

"Do you want to go home already?"

Nabuhayan ako at umupo ng maayos ng marinig ang boses niya. Ang bilis! Nasa-ibaba pa siya kanina ah. And why does it seems like he knows what I'm thinking?

"Hindi naman po." Hindi naman halata sa sagot ko na gusto ko muna dito?

"Depende po sa inyo Sir." dagdag ko pa.

"We have a lot of time." Tiningnan niya ang oras sa kanyang relo.

Lumapit siya sa akin at umupo sa tabi ko. Umusog naman ako ng bahagya dahil sa gulat.

What should I do? Feeling ko tuloy parang guest niya ako. I can't even complain that I want to do something for him because he won't let me do that. He just told me to act as if I'm not working on him. Pano ba yon?

I felt like I need to start a conversation to break the silence but I kinda want to stay silent and enjoy the moment. You know, the sunset is so peaceful to look at.

But I should tell him what Sir Martin told me, right?

"Uhmm..." that was me trying to say something. What a great way of opening a conversation. I cursed myself in my thoughts.

"About what Sir Martin told me earlier."

"What did he told you?"

I feel tensed because we are just inches apart from each other!

"Ayaw niya po daw bumyahe mag-isa. Hindi ko alam ano ang ibig sabihin non ngunit sabihin ko daw sayo."

"Babalik kami mamaya ng Cebu."

"Magkasama po kayo?" I should update Kristine about this!

"Yes, that's what we planned out."

Bakit hindi sumabay samin ngayon si Sir Martin kung ganon? I want to ask him that but I also don't want to ask more questions.

But my mouth won't shut up so... "Doctor po si Sir Martin? or Pharmacist?"

"Both Pharmacist and a Doctor."

Napabilog ang bibig ko. I'm amazed! He must be so intelligent. I really admire that profession since I was little. Imagining him in a white coat is very clean and attractive. That's basically Kristine's types!

"Do you like him?" seryosong tanong niya at lumingon bahagyan sa akin.

Do I like Martin? Siguro noong una pero magmula ng magkagusto sa kanyang ang kaibigan ko ay hindi ko narin siya pinagbigyan pansin. Pero hindi naman kagaya ng pagkagusto ko sa kanya. And I only see Martin as a friend because his personality suits that.
