The Brightest Star

"What?" Night asked confused. Surprise and confusion was written on his handsome face. His forehead slightly furrowed, kissable lips slightly open, one hand on the steering wheel, he was looking at me like I said the most outrageous thing in the world.

Bakit ko nga ba kase sinabi yon? Ngayon na alam ko na, na may feelings nga ako sakanya, dapat ngayon palang layuan ko na siya, kase alam ko namang hindi pwede. Na hindi kami pwede

Huli na to. That's what I said to my self, after this I promise I'll distance my self from him.

"Uh... I'm just concerned, kase kanina ka pa humikikab and you look really tired, what if makatulog ka habang nagmamaneho, nakainom ka pa naman" I said explaining myself.

It is true though, alam kong pagod siya. Ako nga, na concert at inuman lang ang pinuntahan eh ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagod, siya pa kaya na maagang pumasok sa office kanina to finish some stuff.

"Are you sure?" Tanong niya

"I mean... yeah.... my dorm mates aren't home, so mag-isa lang ako, kaya technically may vacant pa na three beds, so if you want you can stay over" I said medyo nahihiya na.

Nakakahiya naman to! Bakit parang feeling ko nagmumukang iba ang motibo ko sakanya? Baka mamaya iba ang isipin ng poging mokong na to!

"Are you comfortable with me sleeping next you?" He asked. Siya naman ngayon ang parang nahihiya ang tono. He looks so cute when he sounds shy!

"Well YOU'RE not sleeping NEXT TO ME, may tatlong kama pa nga na available, pwede ka dun matulog" I said

He looked at me warily, as if analyzing if what I said was true. Nakipagtitigan naman ako sakanya, smiling a little, at ngayon ko lang na realize kung gano ka creepy yon! Why the hell did I do that?

He was still staring at me, thats when I realized na baka siya yung hindi comfortable sleeping sa dorm ko. Na baka nahihiya lang siyang i-turn down ang offer ko.

"It okay if you don't want to... if you're confident na kaya mong mag-drive pauwi without falling asleep, then go" I said. "If thats the case then I should get going na, I'm so sleepy na" dagdag ko

I was about to reach for the car door, when he stopped me. "Wait" he said, his hand on one of my arm, "you're right, its dangerous for me to drive right now, because again you're right, I'am tired. So if the offer is still up for grabs, then I'll take it"

" 'kay then, lets go" I said finally opening the door. I had to take my attention away from him, to hide a small blush that I felt creeping in. Kala ko talaga na kawala na ko kanina, dahil parang ayaw niya, tapos ngayon, o-oo siya!

Is he telling the truth or is he just being nice? What if he's just shy to reject my offer? Well, wala na kong magagawa don kase pumayag na siya.

I waited for him by the entrance of the building, he still needs to park his car. I watched him, as he walked towards me, after parking his car. He walked with so much confidence,  I though he was a model, walking down a runway. I mean he COULD easily pass as a model.

He was holding a small gym bag. Probably some extra clothes, he has in his car. Wow, boy-scout naman pala si mokong.

We walked side-by-side towards the elevator. I pressed the up button, kaso parehong pataas ang dalawang elevator, kaya medyo matatagalam pa.

"Just so you know... wala kaming aircon ah... I mean meron pero sira eh... so electric fan lang ang meron kami ngayon" I said, totoo naman kase, but I said that because I wanted to break the ice because we were both quiet, I don't want us to be awkward about this. It's the 21th century for goodness sake, dapat hindi na big deal ito, plus were both adults naman na.
