Me & You: Between Life And Death (COMPLETE)

Chapter 44

I slowly ambled myself towards the entranceway. Adriel is wearing a black formal coat and pants which is really one of his simple yet handsome attire. Until now everything about him makes my heart melt, he seems prepared for this night the way he stood with his hands drawn inside his jeans' pockets. I slowly lifted the corner of my lips to flash my overwhelmed smile when he looked back to see me.

I gently rubbed the side of my neck because I felt the the deep of his gaze. Even if I'm used to be stared with his hazel eyes, this feeling is different. I guess this is all way more different from before, maybe because now we're living more in the moment like we both know that we can't slip this chance away. It's either we hold on again or let go again. I rest my arms on my sides as shyness filling my eyes and face. My heart can't stop beating fast like really rushing for something. I gasped softly when I can't barely breathe.

"Bye guys! Enjoy!" Sheena greeted us with an evil grin. I just rolled my eyes and chuckled when she winked at me with an annoying smirk. Before I gaze back at Adriel's direction, I fixed the loose light strand of my hair, nearby my forehead. The corner of his lips rose a little as he ran his eyes at my hair that was designed by Shane which is a curled plait braid.

"You're beautiful," he complimented. I flushed with his complementing words and held my breath when he took a step towards me. I bit my lip and glanced off him for a second then turned my gaze back quickly at him. I really missed him. I do. I couldn't be happier now if I wasn't able to see his lovely, handsomely and manly face and be able to build a new start with him 'again'.

Adriel continues to walked towards my position wearing his charming smile and sparkling hazel eyes. I can't deny the fact that it's invading the abyssal of my soul.

I crossed arms over my chest while staring at him, standing just a meter away from my post. I noticed that he's just wearing a white tee inside, simple yet enchanting. Kahit anong klaseng damit ata ay kaya niyang dalhin, mapa plain or full details man yan sobrang attractive niya pa rin tignan.

He looked at me from my head -- down to my toes. I sneered because unfortunately, guess what? I'm just wearing a thong shoes to my first-ever-dinner-date with him 'again'. How unfair is that! I didn't brace myself for this!

"I... I don't have any shoes that's why I ended up with these," nahihiya kong sambit sa kanya.

Hindi naman kasi kami nakapag-dala ng mga magagarang sapatos dahil beach itong pinuntahan namin. Hindi ko rin naman inakala na mangyayari lahat ng 'to. These things were all unexpected and incredibly, full of God's surprises.

"Well, it's cute and quite remarkable..." he kidded and giggled. I didn't consider that as a compliment because I'm sure that he's just teasing me in a well mannered way he can.

"I hate you," I jived at him at pasimpleng nagtaray habang tinatago ang kilig at kaba na nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla nalang tumaas ang lebel ng kagwapuhan niya ngayon. Delikado kung hindi mo kayang kontrolin, nakakalaglag panga at nakakatulala.

"You hate me?" he chuckled and shoved his hair up. Why time became slow every single time he ran his fingers through his medium length hair? Why it was really captivating my iris in my orbs deepening down to my vessel and veins?

"I says the opposite, babe," he replied with a smile. I just glared at him saka pasimpleng ngumiti. Tumaas ata ang cheekbone ko dahil sa tingin ni Adriel sa akin, nakakailang pero -- nakakakilig.

"Do you know what's the opposite of your statement?" He asked as he took his hands off his pants' pockets, crossed it over his chest and licked his lips in a well mannered way he could.

"I... love you," I carefully hissed. Did I just said that to him? What? I know that I love him but I was caught off guard and fell for his sweet pick up lines that isn't really new to him. I laughed easily when his cheek turns red. I witnessed it with my own very eyes even if it just a glimpse of light shining through on his face tonight.
