[R-18] You can skip 'that' part.

I didn't expected her to kiss me. Like, who would be? She's not the type of person who would do it but she just did. I was caught off-guard.

She's really unpredictable.

Uunti-untiin ko pa lang sana ang pag confess sa kanya until her debut pero naunahan niya ako. I chuckled when I saw her run. She must be really shy of what she did. Tumayo na ako at naglakad papunta sa direksyon na tinakbuhan niya. I saw her sitting under the tree.

It brings back the old times.

I sat beside her and started to sing. Kita ko sa peripheral vision ko na pinagmamasdan niya ako kaya tumingin ako sakanya habang kumakanta. Yumuko siya ulit na parang bata. It made me smile.

"Do you like me?" I already know the answer but I still asked her. She just stayed silent that's why I decided to go back to the overlooking spot.

I gave her a book that starts with 'I' cause I really am planning to confess on the day of her birthday. Matagal na pinag planuhan nila tita ang surprise birthday party para sa kanya and I agreed with her na ako ang maging escort. I moved my flight para makadalo sa birthday niya.

"Ilang weeks ka sa US and kailan ang alis mo?" She asked.

"Months and hindi ko alam kailan ako babalik. 1st day of June ang alis ko." I said. Supposed to be, june 1 naman talaga ang alis ko.

"Ang tagal naman." Mahinang sabi niya at tumingin sa harapan. I looked at her and decided to tease her. I love seeing her annoyed face.

"Bakit? Miss mo ako kaagad?" I teased.

"Oo." She bluntly said.

"Do you like me?" I asked again. A little bit serious this time.

"Oo." Sagot niya ng hindi pa rin nakatingin sakin.

I shouldn't have asked that. Akala ko ide-deny niya but she didn't. Naunahan niya nanaman ako.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" I asked.

It was too late when I realized what I asked her.

"Oo." Walang-alinlangan niyang sagot.

"Will you be my girlfriend, then?"

Oh shit.

Those words shouldn't have come out of my mouth. Not yet! She's only 17.

"Oo." She turned towards me and tilted her head as if ngayon niya lang na realize ang sinabi niya at ang tanong ko. I chuckled because of her reaction.

"I'm just kidding you, silly kid." I ruffled her hair pero sinamaan niya ako ng tingin.

She's so cute everytime she does that.

"Are you playing with me?" She asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Hindi pa nga ako nagsisimula and why would I?" I chuckled kaya hinampas niya ako.

I wouldn't play with her feelings. She's too precious.

"I'll just forget that you kissed me earlier. Let's just act it never happened." I don't want her to be awkward with me and I don't want those things to bug inside her mind.

I continued giving her books almost every other day. Nagrereklamo na nga siya dahil hindi pa daw niya tapos ang novel na binabasa niya, may binigay nanaman ulit ako. The books are not actually early gifts. It's my way of confessing. I have a gift na ibibigay ko sa kanya personally.
