Lorelei

I woke up from the alarm that has been going on and about for 5 minutes already. I got up and perform my morning rituals before going outside.

As I opened the door, I was greeted by the smell of freshly cooked eggs ang bacon. I was wondering kung bakit may luto ng agahan eh usually Loki and I would go for cereal and milk since Loki doesn't trust me cooking for the both of us. He said he would rather starve to death than die from food poisoning.

I was actually offended at first because well, for one, I am actually good at cooking, and I really love cooking food. Huh, maybe Tita Martha dropped by and cooked us some breakfast, alangan namang si Loki, that would a zero to none percent.

I chuckled at the thought of Loki wearing an apron while cooking.

"Why are you still standing there, are you waiting for christmas?"

Laking gulat ko nang makita si Loki sa Kusina na naka apron na kulay pink habang nagluluto ng fried rice. T-teka, I must be hallucinating right? Si Loki, nagluluto?

"No Lori, I am not a figment of your imagination. Now, stop spacing out and sit down." Sagot niya habang nakatalikod parin sakin.

"Are you sick Loki? Should I call a Doctor for you?" Sambit ko habang kinusot kusot ang mata dahil sa di kapani paniwalang nakikita ko.

"Sigurado kaba talagang wala kang sakit? Perhaps a fever of some sort..?"

Lumapit ako sakanya habang patuloy parin siyang nagluluto, tsaka ko siya pinaharap sakin. Hinawakan ng mga kamay ko ang ulo niya tsaka ko inilapit ang noo niya sa noo ko.

"Hmm, mukhang wala naman. But then why is your face red? Naiinitan kaba?" Sabi ko sakanya, foreheads still touching one another.

"I-I am perfectly fine." He muttered while the back of his hand is covering his mouth.
I tilted my head at the side, baka may morning breath pa ako, that would be embarrassing.

"Why is your face red then? Are you sure you're fine Loki? Stop lying, you know I hate that." Well, I am worried now. Baka kung anong spirit ang sumanib sa kanya diba? But then again, he doesn't believe in those.

"Tsk! so adamant , do you care for me that much, love?" He said while looking at me.

I stiffened at the word Love, usually he'd go for my dear Lorelei, why the sudden change? But I mean it's not like it's disgusting, I kind of like it I guess, pero hindi ko sasabihin sa kanya, baka lumaki ang ulo niyan.

"I-I just- never mind. Kumain nalang tayo." I sighed giving up. This annoying banter is getting into me.  My ears are getting hotter and hotter by the minute and my heart's not beating well. Ano bang nangyayari sakin?

"If you say so." He shrugged while transferring fried rice onto another plate.

I looked down at the food in front of us, and stared at it, hard. Is this edible? From the looks of it, it does, from the smell of it, it does, but coming from the person who cooked it, it doesn't!

"Should I be offended that you're only staring at it? Or are you waiting for me to feed you?" He said with his eyebrow raised, while casually sipping his coffee.

Nagkatitigan kami which felt like an eternity but only for a couple of seconds before I broke the contact and placed food on my plate.

Habang kumakain ako, because surprisingly Loki's cooking skills isn't bad, napapansin kong panay titig ni Loki sakin, he's giving me weird glances and it's making my ears hot again!

Ilang beses niya itong ginawa for the past 5 minutes. I placed my utensils down as I stared at him.

"Okay, Louise Kingsley Mendez, something's wrong." I huffed as I finished my breakfast.

"What are you talking about Lorelei?" He retorted, avoiding my eyes.

"There's something that you're hiding. Okay ka lang ba talaga?"

"Yes, it's nothing. Now go and mind your own business." Sabi niya habang nagliligpit ng pinagkainan namin.

Lumapit ako para tumulong ngunit tinaboy niya ako at sinabing siya na daw ang bahalang maghugas non, and instead mag handa na daw ako para pumasok. I looked at the clock and saw that we still have 48 minutes before 7am. 

I just glanced at him washing the dishes, and then proceed to go to my room, since tapos naman na ako sa morning rituals ko.

I changed my clothes, mind wandering to my roommate who was acting strange and to my heart which would not stop beating against my chest.
