Run to You

Kabanata 8

Gino's POV

Ever since I saw her walking in front of me, I suddenly have the urge to bump her so we can both fall for each other but this ain't a movie scenario neither a story with a happy ending.

The way she stands in my eyes in a crowded place . The way she smile,makes me want to give her the whole gaddamn world. And by the way he looks at me, I want to be the man that she truly deserve. But it seems hard for her to choose between me and the man that she really love.

"Oy ano Gino? mukha kang basang sisiw jan!Tara na." she said wearing an annoyed face.

I can't let her go even I needed to. She makes me happy when I'm feeling exhausted of everything. She mostly gives me a headache with her stupid answers but I find her cute and adorable. Damn! I can't let this woman just slip away without telling her how much I want to pursue her. I'll wait till she's in the right age to love someone. And I'm gonna be that someone. When the right time comes, I'll win her.

"May dumi ba sa mukha ko?" she said while walking towards me. "Makatitig ka jan, ako lang toh Gino!"

I laugh at her, simple yet it makes me smile. "Ayaw mo yun? You're lucky to be stared by Gino."

She's mocking and slightly raise her hands and she's about to punch me. "Gusto mo sapak? Kapal ng mukha nito."

I nodded and lean forward just to tease her. "You must be thankful 'cause I only stare at the person who I'm attracted at. "

"Ay !Ang landi mo, kebata-bata pa." she's like my mom.

"Foul words tsk!" I sighed.

"Puwede ba Gino! Tigilan mo kaka english mo at dalawa na dinudugo sakin." she said.

"Okay fine. No need to mention it, so disgusting!" I replied trying to make her angry.

She sighed and cross her arm in her chest. "Tara na, kain na tayo! kanina pa ko nagugutom."

I laughed. "Nakakaramdam ka pala ng gutom?"

She lightly punch me in my left arm "ABA'Y LOKO KA ,TINGIN MO SAKIN?HINDI KUMAKAIN!"

I placed my arms in her shoulders and smile. "Ang cute mo mukha kang aso. Pero you're more like a broom stick. Hahahaha!" I run as fast as I can just not to be caught by her brutality.

"RUNNN!!!" she shouted.

I'm not going to waste every minute or seconds to be with her. I'm willing to say a lot of stupid pick up lines just to see her beautiful smile.

"Mara." I called her and she immediately went beside me.

"Ano na naman yun kupal ka?" she glared at me.

"Nothing. I just want to see you near me or beside me." I sighed.

"Yun lang pala." she rolled her eyes and went beside me. "Oh ayan?Okay na?"

I smiled. "Thank you for being there. For being my bestfriend." I emphasize na last word.

"Psh! Wala yun." she tapped my shoulder. "Huwag ka masyadong madrama dahil naiiyak na ko." acted like about to cry.

The most memorable part of my life is to be part of her every milestones and also her birthdays. I'm planning something for her since I don't have much time preparing for things. So I make it simple but memorable.

I excuse myself just to buy her a cake in the near bakeshop. I asked favors to my blockmates just to make this plan works the way I want it .

"Happy Birthday to you!Happy Birthday Happy Birthday Happy Birthday to you!" they sing to her.

I saw her shocked face but meanwhile, a glimpse of her sparkling teeth came out. I successfully make her smile though at first, she taught that no one remembered her birthday.

I walked towards her while handling a cake. "Happy Birthday,Mara." I said then lean forward and whisper. "Happy Birthday baby, Iloveyou."

Am I the only one who is happy, knowing the woman I love is jealous? I don't know why but I felt valuable and I appreciate all her sweet gestures might as well her stupidness haha!Damn,this woman! I love her so much .

"Hi gino." Akisa greeted me in a flirty way.

I glanced at Mara and she was really pissed off so I immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me. I smile when I saw her surprised for what I did but she manage to infuriate Akisa though she's trembling.

My blockmates talked to me, questioning about my relationship with Mara. I saw someone from our boy blockmates trying to approach her because she's dumbfounded so I ran towards her while holding the cake.

"BABY!" I shouted to get her attention and intentionally threw the cake in her face.

I can't stop laughing because of her frosting face para siyang si Olaf na tinubuan ng strawberry chunks. I helped her wash it off. I can't resist her russet eye color, long eye lashes, pinky cheeks, soft arch eyebrows and bow shaped lips.Damn! She's so beautiful.

I'm not imagining things or assuming something but I'm very sure that there's an effect everytime I touch her.From the way she blushed through the way she act. You know what I mean,the electrifying feeling caused by love.

"Not comfortable?" I asked her.

"HINDI!Hindi! Ahmm ano kasi...ganto...ahh-" she's stuttering so I bend forward to give her a kiss.

"Happy Birthday ,Baby." I whispered.

This woman right next to me deserves all the time,effort and love by someone who truly appreciate her. She might not know what she have done to me but all I wish is to let me hold her because loving her is my only gift that cannot be faded easily.
