Love In Progress

Chapter 18

Stalk

I checked my phone right after I woke up from a long and peaceful sleep.

From Flint, 8:00AM

Good morning! Do you have any plans for today?

Me, 8:30AM

Morning. So far wala naman, why?

From Flint, 8:32AM

Pwede mo ba akong samahan mag grocery today....?

From Flint, 8:32AM

If wala ka lang gagawin....

From Flint, 8:33AM

And if gusto mo lang...

From Flint, 8:33AM

😊

Napatawa ako sa reply niya, I appreciate how he isn't forcing me to go out with him. Yung binigay niya talaga yung decision sakin. 😭

Me, 8:35AM

Sige, I'll just get ready. See you later!

From Flint, 8:35AM

See you! 🤩

It took me an hour to get ready, most of my time was wasted on choosing an outfit. Akala ko sa palabas lang nangyayari yun, yung parang wala kang masuot kahit na puno naman yung closet mo, at kahit anong isip mo hindi ka makadecide kung alin ang pipiliin.

In the end I settled for a t-shirt, shorts and white sneakers. Sabi grocery daw eh, baka mag overdress pa ako kapag nagdress ako?

Hay, okay na to.

"Why are you bringing your car?" nagtataka kong tiningnan si Flint na pinagbuksan ako ng pinto ng sasakyan. "Akala ko sa grocery tayo? May supermarket naman sa tabi ng condo?"

"I thought sa Alvyno Towne Center nalang tayo para makapasyal tayo sa park after, is that okay with you?"

"Uh, sure, nagtaka lang ako. Akala ko nagkotse ka pa dito eh isang block away lang naman yung supermarket."

"Let's go"

"Next is ketchup." Sabi ni Flint habang tinitingnan ang grocery list sa phone niya.

Naglakad kami papunta sa section kung nasaan ang mga ketchup.

"If you need anything just get it ha?" sabi niya

"Kaka-grocery shopping lang din kasi ni Ate Stella kaya wala naman talaga akong bibilhin."

"So willing ka pala lumabas tayo kahit wala kang sadya..."

"Oo naman, you didn't need to make grocery as an excuse just to ask me out noh." Biro ko.

"It wasn't an excuse!" depensa niya. "Kelangan ko talaga mag grocey. I just thought baka ikaw din so I asked you."

"Really?" nagtaas ako ng kilay sa kanya, not buying his reason.

"Ok, fine, well I didn't know kung papayag ka so I chose a safer reason to ask you out."

Namamangha ko siyang tiningnan. I din't think that he would surrender so fast!

Pagkatapos mamili ng grocery, pumunta kami sa Alvyno People's Park na nasa likod lang ng mall. We decided to check out the food there since may bazaar.
