Me and my mom along with Willmark, cause my mother wanted him to go with us for some reason, is headed to SM taytay. Mom's going to buy some tools for her work, hairdressing.

I'm still not quite sure why she wanted me and Willmark to go with her but I just treated it as another friendly date with him.

We were getting late since Joshua wanted to come but mom won't let him, I just knew that it'll be another battle of whose ears are more stronger and alas, my mother won.

My brother was finally coaxed by my mom by letting him handle his iPad and letting bum eat whatever he wants just this time.

"Jerimie, you go and guard your brother well okay?" Mom ordered Jerimie, I can see the frown on her face but she nodded nevertheless.

We should be there in three but of course mom had to list the things she has to buy. I'm just confused why she didn't do that yesterday instead of today and the fact that my mom runs all over the house looking for her things while I stand there, waiting for her to finish running around the whole area.

"Mom! Hurry up!" I couldn't help but shout, it's almost two and we're still in our home. I'm afraid we'll be stuck here for the rest of the afternoon before mom find what she's looking for.

"Apurado ah! Wait for me, I'm still... huff.. finding my phone- finally!" She emerged from the couch with her phone on her right hand.

She wiped her face before taking her makeup kit and freshen herself up. I heard someone knocking on our home before I walked towards the door.

"Hi" he said with a crinkle of smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Hi" a bit breathless, I look up at his tall figure, he was wearing a collared light blue shirt, his unique fragrance wafted in the air.

Our eyes met and I felt my mind having a meltdown, I suddenly remembered his diary and smiled deeply to him. He has a confused look but nevertheless, smiled at me. I wanted to laugh at his face and tease him but managed to refrain my thoughts.

Suddenly, the atmosphere begun to thicken in ambiguity, my bottom lips were caught up on my teeth as I looked below as if the ants crawling ok the ground was the most fascinating thing to see. His eyes were scorching for me, I'm afraid to meet his eyes in fear of my feelings getting discovered by him. Then I see his figure looming over my small figure before I felt his warm fingers on my chin and pulled me to his chest.

Then he suddenly lowered his face and- no! Jamie your being too delusional! I blinked my eyes away from his striking appearance and leaned awkwardly at the door.

I didn't notice the slight quirk of his lips before we were interrupted by my one and only dear mother.

"Jamie why are yo- oh Willmark! Come on in! Sorry for the mess, I was finding my phone earlier" thankfully, my mother came here before I further embarrass myself.

"Hello Tita, how are you?" Then he flashed his most charming smile to my mother almost blinding her.

"Hay naku! It's tiring and chaotic in this household!" I almost roll my eyes at my mother's dramatic self, but it's kinda true though.
