White Strings of Love

2

We stayed there and for a little longer as we talk about the things, we did last summer vacation. After some time, Cei and the others rushed to their respective classes and as for me and Cal...

"Stand up, silly guy" he's sleeping with his right arm over his eyes and left hand under his head.

"Oh, please, stand up na, Caleb" I tried my luck to pull the blanket but I failed for the nth time. He's not sleeping, I know that. He's just waiting me to be irritated. He loves doing that!

Ah! You love teasing other people but you are shy and conservative. I get my pen and notebook and write something.

After some minutes, I giggled when someone came up and asked if it is legit and I said yes so she kneel down and kiss Caleb on cheeks at maya maya pa may sumunod pa ulit, at isa pa at isa pa.

"What's with the kisses, Afriela?" He thought I am the one who is showering him kisses kaya nagulat siya nang makita niya akong nakatayo malayo sa kanya at may bitbit na parang placard.

I show it to him and smiled sweetly. Another one made her way to Caleb and kiss him on his cheeks. I laughed when I saw his face and he panicked when he saw a guy going to kiss him so he suddenly stands up and run to go behind me.

"The free kisses have already expired. I'm sorry." I told the guy na papalapit kay Caleb. When he turns around sadly, inagaw bigla ni Caleb yung notebook ko at mahina ipinukpok sa sakin.

"I thought your name was derived from an Angel but now I'm sure that is a fallen angel! How dare you do this to me, my innocent cheeks!" I laughed hard.

'Free Kisses for the new guy here! Caleb Mayhem at your service' pinunit niya yung page at nilukot. He put the crumpled paper inside my mouth and he run as fast as he can away from me.

"What time is your next class?" He asked me habang inaayos namin yung picnic blanket

"Wala na. 7-11 lang class ko for the whole term" I put the blanket inside my bag. At isinukbit na.

"What?!" I nod to tell him I'm serious. "Let my response be, sana all" he helped me with my things as we walked papuntang parking.

"How about you?" He put my helmet on me and smiled.

"I have class mamayang 4 pm pero tinatamad ako so pag iisipan ko pa kung papasok ako" Iiling iling akong sumakay sa motor.

When we got home, he went straight in the kitchen asking me what food I like.

"Lasagna" Umupo ako sa Breakfast table and watch him habang nagchcheck siya ng ingredients. I checked my phone to see if there's a new message or any notifications. I sighed, loud enough to make Caleb look at me.

He looked at me with full of curiosity. "Waiting for something?" he asked while preparing the ingredients and the casserole he'll use.
