I wasn't sure why I'm still following Grant somewhere when I could just hop on the bus and leave him alone. But I'm not that kind of person who will leave someone just because we don't get along. I have no idea what his intentions are but I think he's trying not to put me on harm—I guess so but I'm still not sure of that. I didn't even know Grant himself. He's like a diary, he doesn't share his life with anyone and it is hard to know him personally when he restricts himself socializing. Or that's what I just thought because we really don't know each other and I just knew his existence last week for a month I'm going to university.
"Are you hungry?" he asked me.
I shook my head, "I'm not."
"No, you are." He insists and we stopped on a food cart on the side street and I was just staring at the orange fudge boiled on the oil. Napansin naman ni Grant ang pagtitig ko roon kaya naman tinapikan niya ako sa balikat. "Don't you worry, I know him and he prepared it all clean," he said pertaining to the vendor of the orange fudge. "It's my treat, get a stick, and pierce it to those kwek-kweks."
"Kwek-kweks?" I repeated what he said.
He chuckles and shakes his head, "haven't you had this before?"
I shook my head, "I thought this was some kind of orange fudge."
He burst in a laugh, "funny," he commented. "I assure you, it was great. You need to try some,"
And then I took some kwek-kweks on the sticks and dipped it into the sauce. And I just ate it right away. Nginuya ko naman iyon at napatango na lamang ako dahil nakuha niya ang atensyon ng panlasa ko. I don't know why Grant made me do this in the first place but I don't care anymore, I'm liking it. I've never had this before, pinagbabawalan kasi akong kumain ng street foods or anything kaya sanay ako sa luto ni mama. And when Grant's done, he was watching me devoured the remaining kwek-kweks on my stick. I was a messy eater and he offered me a tissue because I had some all over my mouth. Though he was about to wipe it for me but I took the napkin from his hand and I did it for myself.
Grant paid for our meal and later I was done eating.
"Why did you took me here?" I asked him and then he put his hands on his pants and walks away. Agad ko naman siyang hinabol, "You brought me there tapos iiwanan mo lang din pala ako?"
"Kailangan ko lang ng kasama," ngisi pa nito sa akin. "I just missed eating it."
"Bakit kailangan ako pa ang isasama mo? Wala ka bang kaibigan?"
"Yes." He answered and I creased my forehead.
"Seryoso?"
He smirks, "Why would I say anything within the personal boundary,"
