If Hearts Will Tell (Heart Series #2)

"Why did you bring me here?"

We're on the rooftop of the building. We can see the whole city in here. Sobrang lakas ng hangin, naka off shoulder pa naman ako. May upuan doon kaya doon kami umupo.

"Here, take this," he gave me a.. strawberry milk.

Napatitig naman ako doon bago tanggapin. "Thank you,"

"Mukhang problemado ka kasi kanina nung nakita kita," sabi niya saka uminom sa sarili niyang strawberry milk.

Kinuha ko naman yung straw at tinusok para makainom na rin. This taste good pala. Pero saan niya 'to nakuha? Dala niya ba 'to? Oh.. wait. Tumigil nga pala kami sa isang convinience store, ito pala yung binili niya.

"May iniisip lang," sagot ko naman.

Napatingin naman siya sa akin habang umiinom. "Ano?" Tanong niya. Hindi naman ako nakasagot. "It's okay, hindi mo kailangan mag-open sa akin kung ayaw mo." Ngumiti siya.

Ngumiti rin ako at tumango. "Thank you ulit. But.. why did you bring me here?" I asked again since hindi niya sinagot kanina.

He looked at the view. "Nothing. Dito kasi ako lagi napunta if marami akong iniisip, it's peaceful here." Sagot naman niya.

Napatitig naman ako sa kanya. "Yeah," naiusal ko na lang. Tama naman, it's peaceful here. I can only feel the cold breeze, I can only think of the beautiful view.

"Sometimes you just need to watch the city lights and release all the stress away," he said and looked at me, he gave me a smile.

Tumango naman ako at ngumiti rin. "You're right," sagot ko naman. "Is this your favorite?" I asked, referring to the strawberry milk.

He nodded. "Yes. Masarap, diba?"

Tumango naman ako. Madaldal pala siya and super friendly. Sa umpisa talaga aakalain mong masungit at tahimik lang siya but no, kapag nak-close mo na, he's nice and talkative.

Nayakap ko ang sarili ng biglang humangin ng malakas. Napansin yata iyon ni Tom at hinubad niya ang suot ba coat, inilagay niya iyon sa balikat ko. Napatingin ako sa kanya, he gave me a small smile.

"Thank you," I smiled, he gave me a nod. "Do you have a lot of friends?" I asked him.

"Yes. Bakit? Gusto mo dumagdag?" Tanong niya.

I laughed. "Hanggang friends lang ba kayo mo i-offer? Walang more than friends?" I joked.

Natawa naman siya. "You're funny," he said. "Ikaw ba? Gusto mo ba maging friends tayo?" He asked. Napansin ko na may dimple rin pala siya on his left cheeks. It's showing when he's talking and smiling.

Napaisip naman ako. "Hmm, you look nice naman so.. why not?" Ngumiti ako. "Pero sure ka friends lang gusto mo? I can offer you more than that," I winked.

He laughed. "I'll think about it," he said.

Ay, pag-iisipan pa raw. Buti na lang gwapo ka, I can wait.
