Until Skies Taste the Sun (Lost Series #1)

Kabanata 9

Chillin

Hindi ko alam kung paanong nangyari na sakay na ako ngayon sa car ni Third para ihatid pauwi. It just turned out like this.

I remember na nag- contest pa kaming dalawa in exchanging reasons kasi ayaw ko ngang pumayag dahil pabebe ako. Ew. But really.. I am more than reasonably aware of how busy of a person he is, and has a project that needs to steer. Pero hindi pa rin siya nagpatalo. Ewan ba.

These consecutive days that I see Third, I feel okay now with him having around. Kung kaba sa hiya ang na-fe-feel ko before every  time comes I see him, ngayon naman ay iba na. I'm nervous because of his presence, minding that I have hidden attraction.. and feelings for him!

Oh how I hopefully think na nakalimutan na niya 'yong about sa story ko kaya hindi ko na rin iniisip! I should act normal if I don't want him to catch what I feel for him!

I'm thinking now of what he's actually feeling back towards me. I don't want to assume pero.. was it only me? Giving a shit like this?  His expressiveness to treat me right with sincerity made me feel so special and feel like I was totally a woman. What more if it is actually not intuition at true nga? How does it feel to have a boyfriend?

It's a bad signal. I'm thinking now of a relationship because of him. Masiyado kong inihahalintulad ang situation ko sa mga favorite kong character sa fictional stories!

I shouldn't expect too much.

"Hindi ka pa nag-di- dinner 'di ba? You wanna eat somewhere?"

Ayan na naman siya.. akala ko ba, quiet siya? But looking now.. he's got to enjoy more of pag-aalok sa'kin.. at somehow, pagiging talkative too. He's a busy person katulad ng observation ko sa kaniya kanina. Maya't maya ang pag- answer niya sa calls, pero ngayon, parang ang light lang ng sched niya para mag-aya.

"I actually have eaten earlier before going to you." I peeked at him doing a thin line on the lips. "Mia and I stopped by the mall," I said, still feeling a heavy stomach.

"O..kay," he quite said.

I wanted to accept his offer but I really don't want to have another dinner. Ayaw kong magtampo sa'kin ang foods kung kakain nga kami kasi full pa talaga ako.

But... I actually do have a craving right now.

"I think I want an ice cream," I said instead. "But I think you're busy, so let's just go to a drive-thru."

"I'm not," tanggi niya.

"Yeah, pigs can fly. Your calls were unstoppable." I looked at him.

He slightly chuckled. "It is because my parents are leaving this week."

I shrugged my shoulder, earning him to stifle a smile.

"Ice cream?" he asked after a while. I nodded slowly while creasing my forehead. "But like... don't you want another proper meal? Hindi ba... mas nakakabusog ang ice cream?" He followed.
