My love from the South

6 - Confession

I mean why not? I think he's a good person.

I also think he is someone I can go along with.

So far, that's how I feel.

I hate running around circles so I chose to be honest with how I feel.

I know it's just been 3 days pero the hell I care, we only live once and I don't want to live in regret!

On the other hand, I am also a little scared what if this feeling won't last pero I don't want to be negative and I just want to enjoy the feeling.

I'm not actually the kind of person to easily fall and be swayed by good deeds.

Siguro matagal din akong nawala sa pakikipagrelasyon plus the fact na everything is new kaya ganito ako? Ugh Idk.

But one thing's for sure.

I started getting suffocated when he's around.

In a good way.

My heart keeps thumping as if it wants to get out of my rib cage.

I slowly gazed at him and saw his shocked face while looking at me.

His eyes keep on blinking in disbelief.

"A-are you sure?"

Pautal-utal niyang tinanong sa akin. Hindi pa din siya makapaniwala sa mga narinig niya from me.

"Why not? I think you're nice. I think we can work this out."

Sabay lagay ko sa itlog at cheese sa niluluto kong ramyeon at tinakpan na din ang pot.

Pinatay ko na din ang stove kasi baka maging soggy na yung noodles.

I looked at him again and shyly smiled. I said,

"Ayaw mo ba?"

Lalong nanlaki ang mga mata niya sabay wave ng kamay niya signalling "No" with a nervous smile.

Finally naluto na ang ramyeon and we dug in.

Kinuha ko ang dala kong disposable wooden chopstick sa bag ko na nasa tent at lumabas para ibigay sa kanya.

Binuksan namin ang chopsticks.

Pinaghiwalay namin iyon at sabay kuskos sa dalawang stick.

We started eating from the pot.

"Thank you for the food."

Sinabi niya ito while trying to get up from his seat.

I smiled at him as I raised my brow to acknowledge his gratitude.

We finished the whole pot quietly and in that awkward space.

Sometimes, I will catch him staring at me pa but I pretended not to catch on to it.

Nagpagpag na sya ng buhangin sa shorts niya at kinuha na ang pot na nasa harap namin. Ultimo soup naubos kahit ang anghang.

Gutom nga kami.

Habang nasa likod siya ng tent at inaayos ang mga ginamit namin para kumain, tumayo na din ako at nagpagpag para pumunta sa tent.

Nag hilamos na ako sa gilid ng tent.

Pagkatapos pumasok na ako sa tent at nagpalit ng black panda pajama na nabili ko sa Shopee at para na din ihanda ang sleeping bags na dala-dala niya.

Maliit lang yung tent, kasya sa dalawang tao.

Nakatalikod ako sa entrance ng tent habang inaayos ang mga sleeping bags ng marinig ko siya.

"Is it okay if we sleep together?"
