Paradise (Book One)

Insensitive

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive
Insensitive
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush?
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

"'WHAT IS HE DOING HERE????"

...Memory lane down from the time when she received the tulips...

"I am CRAZY for you," basa niya.

"Hala, biglang naging weirdo?"

That was the word Gerald said to her last night. Hindi kaya....?

No, hindi siya ito. Nagkataon lang siguro. She's sure wala ni katiting na ka-romantikuhan sa katawan ang damuho.

Natutuwa siya sa mga bulaklak na natanggap pero hindi lubos. Iniisip pa rin niya ang lalakeng parang kabute kung sumulpot / mawala sa buhay niya.

She was smelling the flowers when the door opened and Hans came in.

"Hi, beautiful," bati nto sa kanya. "Musta, bansot?" baling nito kay Maja.

"Ewan ko sa 'yo bamboo. Basta ka naman pumasok nang walang pahintulot."

"At kanino ako magpapaalam, aber? Eh walang tao dun sa reception. Akala ko nga andun ka sa ilalim ng mesa mo. Andito ka pala at inaabala mo ang amo mo," pakikipagkulitan nito.

"Whatever, tikin. Hitsura mo," asar na dito si Maja.

"Nice flowers, from whom they came from?" biglang baling nito sa mga bulaklak na hawak niya, binalewala na si Maja.

For a while, Asher enjoyed the bickering between the two. "Hmmnn, bagay ang dalawang 'to."

Nagpaalam na si Maja to have lunch. Hindi alam ni Hans, but's she's intently looking at him while he followed his gaze to the leaving "bansot".
