"Now, tell me your reason why you are avoiding me."

I shrugged because I cannot just tell him that I am jealous with his girls. Yes, I am jealous.

Jealousy is always part of liking and loving someone. Hindi maiiwasan iyon.

"I don't. I'm just busy," walang kwenta kong sagot.

Nakakatawa dahil ako pa talaga ang mas busy ngayon? College student na si Elliot kaya mas busy pa ito sa akin.

"Really?"

I nodded twice before I sipped on my frappe.

His stares became less serious than before. Unti-unting nawawala ang lala ng tingin nito sa akin. But even that, he can still send nervousness in my system. Like, there are butterflies flying in my stomach.

"Why aren't you keeping an eye contact with me, Xylia?"

"Why you're asking me too many questions?"

"Do I?"

I rolled my eyes and I heard him chuckled.

"Bakit mo ako gustong maka-usap kahapon?"

Hindi agad ako makasagot sa kaniya. Hindi ko naman kayang sabihin sa kaniya na gusto ko na siya... na nahuhulog na ako sa kaniya.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nangyayari ito sa akin ngayon. Sanay akong umamin ng nararamdaman ko sa taong gusto ko. But it turns out that I am hesitant to confess to Elliot now. Parang kakaiba at nakakahiya sa kaniya.

"Why are you so silent? You are not answering my questions."

"Puro ka naman kasi tanong!"

Tumawa ito nang mahina.

"What do you want me to say? I'm about to lost words because I want to keep our conversation."

Suminghap ako roon. His words are different. Sobra itong maka-apekto sa akin ngayon. At hindi ako roon natutuwa.

"You can just stop talking, you know?"

"So, I will just look at you while you are trying your best to avoid an eye contact?"

"Can you please don't mention how I'm avoiding your stares? I'm not good at it that’s why I cannot!"

"Really?” mangha nitong sagot sa akin na para bang hindi naniniwala. "When we first met, you even gave me death glares. What happened now?"

I didn't know why I am falling for this man. He always annoys me and I hate him. I hate his chuckles. I hate his stares. I hate the way he talks to me. I hate his movements!

"It's seems that you're killing me in your mind."

Ang daldal nito! Imik nang imik kahit hindi ko na naman pinapatulan.

"Don't you?"

"Paano kapag, oo?"

Natawa itong bahagya kahit wala namang nakakatawa doon. Dapat nga mainis siya kasi inisip kong patayin siya!

"Wala ka bang gagawin? Project? Hand-outs? Plates? Reviews?"

"Do you mean... I should go now?"

Napasapo ako ng noo dahil sa sinabi niya. Really, tinanong ko lang naman.

"No, I am just asking."

"You want me to stay."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay doon. Ang gulo din niya at iba mag isip!
