We kinda finish our meal in silence. Well, I'm mostly silent. Only answering some of the mundane questions he keeps on asking. Like do I like rainbows, or what my favourite color is. He doesn't pressure me to talk more than what I am doing.
All in all, this is a good evening. Di ko inakala na ang sarap pala ng may kasama ako ulit kumain. The past weeks I've been so alone. Nakakagaan ng loob na may kasama ako ngayon nagdinner kahit pa complete stranger siya."I have a class tomorrow until 4pm. I'm free after that. You're a good distraction so I'll accompany you if you want." He almost spit the water he's drinking on me. Hay nako!
"You're agreeing now? Alright! No backsies! Where will we meet? Do you want me to pick you up after your class?" He looks so excited like a little puppy.
"Okay. Give me your phone, I'll call my number so I could text you the address of my uni." Why am I trusting this stranger? Ahh to hell with it. He doesn't look like a serial killer naman.
He unlocked his phone and gave it to me. I quickly dialled my number and ended the call once my phone rang. I gave his phone back and I got my own phone from my bag. I texted him the address of my uni.
"Be there at 4:15. I'll wait for you at the entrance gate. No need to go down and open the doors for me. I don't want people to see me with you so they can start another rumor about me."
"Sure! Uhmm, do you like ice cream? I'm craving one so let's buy some. There's a korean grocery store near here."
I practically dragged him outside at the mention of ice cream. My ultimate weakness! I love ice cream! Sad? Eat ice cream. Happy? Eat ice cream. Tired? Eat ice cream. Frustrated? Eat ice cream. Ice cream fixes everything. Well, mostly...
"Let's go! Let's also buy coffee. Coffee and ice cream is good together!" I stared at him like he's a weirdo.
"Like hot coffee? And uhmmm cold ice cream? A bit of a weird combination don't you think so?"
"Nahhh! Trust me. It's a good combo." There goes that grin again
