He Who Changed Me

Chapter 3

Naglalakad lang ako sa mall, patingingin tingin sa mga shops. I need to buy some clothes. Konti lang kasi yung nadala kong damit. Pumasok ako sa isang boutique doon. I saw people inside it eyeing me. Whatever.

Nagsukat ako ng ibang mga damit. Bumili nalang ako ng sampung shorts and blouse then walong damit na pwedeng casual or formal. I guess this will be enough for today. Di ko naman to madadala lahat. Magbabayad na sana ako ng biglang may sumulpot na lalaki sa harapan ko. I just stared at him.

"Miss ako na magbabayad lahat ng pinamili mo." He offered with a grin. I look at him from head to toe

"I'm so sorry but I'm not poor." I said with a bored expression. Can't this day end without these kinds of dramas? I walk passed him then went straight to the cashier. Pagkatapos kong magbayad nagdirediretso na ako palabas, hindi ko na tinapunan pa ng tingin yung lalaki kanina.

"Hey! Wait up!" I didn't looked back, instead mas binilisan ko pa yung paglalakad ko. Naramdaman ko nalang na may humila sa braso ko paharap sa kanya. I didn't even flinched. I look at his hands who were holding my arms.

"Let go" I said.

"No. Not until you tell me your name! I was humiliated there!" Now he's already being scandalous. I looked around, were already gathering some attention. Sino bang nagpahiya dito? E sarili lang naman niya yung pinahiya niya kanina. I tried to pull my arm from him but he just gripped it hard enough for me not to take them off.

"Let go." I froze. An authoritative voice said as I was about to use some self-defense. I know all kinds of martial arts. I look at the people in front of me who were a while ago were just staring at us without helping me out. Nakanganga silang lahat. Okay I know that was a bit exaggeration but heck I can literally see some girls' eyes turning into balls. Tumatagos yung tingin nila sa akin.

"I said let go." Someone said behind me. I was about to turn around when the guy In front of me who was holding me let go of my hand. Hinawakan ko yung part kung saan nakahawak yung lalaki kanina. Damn. This will leave a bruise.

Umikot ako para tingnan siya. Ang unang tumama sa aking paningin ay ang isang matipunong harapan. Clearly he's tall because I was already 5'7 pero hanggang balikat niya lang ako. I looked up to meet those pair of familiar eyes staring right through my soul. I also stared at him. If I was just like those ordinary girls I will not be able to stare back at those dark brooding eyes, that perfectly chiseled jaw, those pair of thick eyebrows and don't even start with that kind of body. But no. I'm not like them. And I refused to be one.

He was eyeing me. Questions began to flood my mind. I heard someone shrieked. I looked around. Oh boy... What a large crowd. I even saw some people secretly taking a shot of us. What the fuck. I tried to cover my face. As I was about to leave when I felt two strong arms hug me so tight. My face was buried at his chest. Hindi ko sinasadyang naamoy yung pabango niya. I smirked. Hanggang ngayon hindi niya parin pinapalitan ang pabango niya because I said so. I tried to get away from him but to no avail he just tightens his hold to me.

"OMG!!! TELL ME THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!"

"GIRL WAG TANGA KITA MO NA NGA MAGTATANONG KAPA!"

"IS THIS TRUE??"

"WHO THE FUCK IS THAT GIRL?!"

"NOOOOO!!"

"Dude Chix oh!"

"I think I'm inlove! May Angel na bumaba dito para mahalin ko."

It was my instinct to roll my eyes. Anong pinagsasabi ng mga to? More importantly bat naman ako yinayakap ng lalaking to?

"I miss you..." biglang naging malambing ang tono ng boses niya compare sa tono ng boses na ginamit niya kanina. I felt him nuzzle into my neck as he inhale my scent. Bigla akong kinilabutan. What the fuck is this guy doing? I tried to get away from him. Nang makaalis na ako sa yakap niya tinitigan ko siya. All the while na nakatitig ako sa kanya is siya rin nakatitig lang sa akin, it was like he's memorizing every inch of my face. I looked at him from head to toe. I knew back then that he was already gorgeous but somehow he changed. He became more muscular. You can tell that behind that shirt was a six pack of abs. Even his aura changed. Oh yeah! What a hypocrite I am. I forgot, people do change.
