Mistakes in Paris

EP 02

I was still frozen in shock sa sinabi ni Benj. Seriously? Siya? Ipapahiram ang jacket niya? Before nga he never even glanced at me and I wonder why he knows my name when others call me 'Ash'!

Nananaginip ba ako? Tulog pa rin ba ako since Sir Jose's class? I'm not even sure if this us real or not! If this is a dream I don't ever wanna wake up!

'Eto naman kasing si Benj e! Nafa-fall na tuloy ako. Hindi naman 'to marunong sumalo. Studies, baseball 'tsaka SSG lang ang inaatupag.

Kung 'eto maging jowa ko, naku po. Sabay kaming mag-aaral! Para may oras naman 'to siya sa 'kin. 'Tsaka based on research romantic daw ang studying together 'no!

"Can you pinch me?" I asked kaya nagtaka siya and looked at me ridiculously.

"What? I'm not touching anybody." He rolled his eyes and exhaled heavily.

"Ang OA mo naman. I'm clean okay?" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

Ganon ba talaga tingin niya sa 'kin at sa ibang fangirls niya? Madudumi? Grabe naman 'to. Swerte mo crush pa rin kita e.

"I didn't say you're dirty, Ivory. I just don't touch anybody I meet 'tsaka kukurutin pa talaga?" He chuckled and scoffed.

I bit the insides of my cheeks to stop myself from smiling. It's my first time seeing him laugh! And I'm the reason behind it!

"Pinch me na nga." He looked at him and I held his arm at nagpa-cute.

'Eto na ang chance ko!

"Why? I'm just offering you my jacket." He tried removing my hold from his arm kaya I pouted.

Duma-damoves nga ako e! Ang slow naman neto!

"I feel like I'm in a dream, okay? Kaya sigi na kurutin mo na ako. I'm not gonna bite back." I chuckled and nagpa-cute ulit but his brows just furrowed and he looks at me ridiculously.

"What? Why?" I scoffed and pushed the insides of my cheek.

Ang dami naman netong tanong e. Nakaka-inip ha.

I tilted my head and crossed my arms kaya nagtaka ulit siya.

"Can you believe it? You talking to Ivory Guzman? Never in a million years I imagined this one! Noon nga you wouldn't even bat me an eye e!" I held my temple dahil sumasakit ang ulo ko kay Benj.

'Eto ba namang crush mo since Senior High bigla ka nalang papansinin. Nakaka-stress din 'tong slowness and manhid neto ni Benj e.

"I just have different priorities, okay?" He defended as if naman hindi ako maniniwala. Syempre crush ko 'yan kaya kahit anong palusot niya tanggap ko na. Charot!

"Nyenyenye." I rolled my eyes and ignored him nalang. Ang slow netong crush ko e, pero crush ko pa rin. Rupok!

"You're crazy." He laughed and shook his head while looking straight para maghintay ng masasakyan.

I took the chance and admired him from this side. Ang pogi talaga ng crush ko. Nakaka-dagdag ng problema e! 'Yung mga fangirls niya mga bwiset.

"Crazy for you." I whispered but I was sure he heard it.

His eyes widened at namula ang kaniyang tenga kahit sobrang dilim dito sa shed. 'Kala mo ha? Icu-crushback mo rin ako Benjamin.

He cleared his throat and threw me his jacket kaya sinalo ko at inamoy. Amoy Benjamin! Kung pupuwede ko nga lang 'tong nakawin gagawin ko na e!

I was stifling my smile habang sinusuot ang jacket ni Benj. It was color black 'tsaka sobrang laki sa 'kin. Mukha tuloy dress na jacket.

I secretly took a photo of him sitting beside me dahil nakasandal ako sa seat while his elbows were in his legs.
