Fall "Who wouldn't fall for you?"

"I will not let a woman pay for me." He said.

Kinina ko pa siya kinukumbinsi na sagot ko 'to pero ayaw niya talagang pumayag. Akala ko napapayag ko na siya kinina.

Yun naman pala kaya ayaw pumayag sa The Alley ako dadalhin. Is he really that hungry? Kung sa bagay, he came from the training.

I want to hide when we arrive at the mall. A lot of people are looking at us. Bigla akong nahiya. Lumayo ako ng kaunti sa kanya at yumuko.

Lahat ng nakakasalubong namin napapalingon sa kanya. I can't blame them but fuck! What if someone sees us? Maybe his friends? I don't have a lot of friends so I don't need to worry about that. But knowing him he has a lot of fans!

I saw him stop walking in front of me so I also stop walking. I looked around. Wala namang nakatingin sa akin. They are all looking at him.

When I look at him he was already looking at me. His brows are in a grim line.

He frowned. "What are you doing?" I can hear a little bit of anger in his voice.

I was covering my face. I look at him. I need to look up because he is so tall.

"Somone might see us," mahina kong sabi sa kanya.

I look around and now they are looking at me because he is talking to me.

Kinabahan ako bigla. Pinandilatan ko siya. "Walk! Come on--."

He suddenly grabbed my hand. My eyes widened. Muntik na akong masubsob!

Nababaliw na ba siya? What is he doing? People might see us!

His eyes look dark. I can say that he is angry.

I throw dagger stares at him.

He looked at me. Mas pinandilatan ko siya ng mga mata. He just looked away from me. He looks annoyed.

"You don't want to be seen with me?" now his forehead creased.

I roll my eyes at him. "Hindi naman sa ganon. You are famous! Someone might see us."

"Baka nga ikaw pa yung may ayaw na makita kasama ako," bulong ko.

I chuckled. Ayokong maissue, I don't want issues. I like him but still, ayokong sumugod bigla dito sina Hershey at Liezl. Malandi ka! I can already hear them shouting at me.

"So what? Friends can't eat together?" He said raising his brow at me.

Napatikhim ako.

Aray. Ang sakit non. Sabi ko nga friends. Natahimik ako.
