Astonishing Love

"I want to see your final design tomorrow." she said.
Well, I'm living alone in London for more than two years now! I'm about to finish my course about fashion. Nag enjoy ako at ang dami kong natutunan! I can say that this school enhanced my skills!
"Hey, Areia." Race called me as I walked out the room. "You wanna hang out?" I smirked. Ever since I started going to this school, Race tried to hit on me.
"No." I said. And walk passed him.
"Areia." I rolled my eyes. Simula nung unang beses niya akong kausapin ay wala na akong ibang ginawa kung'di iturn down siya.
"Stop following me." All eyes on us! Race is quite popular, every girl in this school has a crush on him. Well, not me.
"Let's hang out. I heard you're almost done with your course." I stopped walking and faced him. He smiled at me. "Hi?" I almost laughed.
"What's the catch?" inip na tanong ko.
"What catch?"
"You're asking me to hangout, so what's the catch?"
"Nothing. I just really want to hangout with you." He said as he smile. "I really want to get to know you." Since it's going to be my last day tomorrow.
"Fine." I saw how his eyes widened. "Just send me the details."
"I'll pick you up." kumunot ang noo ko. "I just want to pick you up." umiling ako. "Alright." aniya at ngumiti. "See you!" nag wave siya sakin kaya umalis na ako.
I can see that Race is a nice guy. Hindi kasi ako interesado dahil nandito ako para matuto. Sa loob ng dalawang taon ko dito ay ngayon lang ako pumayag na mag hangout. Wala akong naging kaibigan dahil tutok sa pag'aaral ang mga naging kaklase ko. Nakakausap ko sila pero wala akong kaibigan.
Nalaman ni Race ang numero ko dahil sa kaklase ko. May pinagbigyan kasi ako ng numero ko noon dahil kailangan nila akong kontakin para sa group work namin, nagawan niya ng paraan para makuha iyon.
"You look good." aniya kaya napangisi ako. I'm wearing a simple outfit. Black silk dress paired with my high heel boots. Inalalayan niya ako hanggang sa makaupo ako. Gentleman. "You really look good."
"Thanks." ngising sagot ko at nilingon ang lugar. Nasa isang restaurant kami, mabuti nalang ay nag sabi siya agad kung saan kami magkikita. Muntik na akong mag pantalon at crop top!
"Shall we?" tanong niya, tumango ako at tinanggap ang menu na inaabot ng waiter. "Do you have any dish in mind?" tanong niya kaya napaangat ako ng tingin sakanya. "If its fine with you, I want you to try their special dish."
"Sure." ngiting sagot ko, ngumiti siya at tumango.
"Do you like to drink wine?" tanong niya. "If you're not comfortable, it's fine with me."
"It's fine." ngiting sabi ko. "I can handle." tumango siya at umorder na. I like it when someone ask me if I like something or what. Just the small things.
"What's your nationality?" tanong niya pagkatapos niyang umorder. "I can say that you're not from London." natawa ako. "I think you're from L.A." I raised my brows. "You look like a hollywood star." I can't stop my self from laughing.
"Uh, thanks?" natatawang sabi ko.
"What's funny?" aniya kaya umiling ako. "Am I wrong?"
"No." ngising sagot ko. "I'm actually american." tumango siya at tinitigan ako. "I'm also a filipino." napa 'o' ang bibig niya.
