It's been a week since the dinner Liam and I had and since then hindi na niya ako tinantanan. In every turn I make, he's always there. He even ask my friends for my phone number kaya pati sa text messages ay hindi niya ko tinatantanan. he even added me in all my social media accounts and he leaves comments kahit sa mga previous posts ko na ilang taon na ang nagdaan. He takes stalking in a whole different level. Unang hakbang ko palang paglabas ng bahay sa umaga ay naroon na siya and he's also the last person I see aftera my work dahil hatid-sundo niya na ako.
Ayoko man sa mga ginagawa niya ay wala naman akong magawa dahil sobrang kulit niya. Katulad ngayon, he's buzzing the doorbell just because I don't want to open my door for him. It's already 10 pm for fuck's sake! I planned to ignore him and just wait for him to get tired and leave but he is so persistent in pestering me.
"arrrrrggghhhhh! What have I done to deserve this?!" I said exasperatedly. I just want to enjoy my alone time in peace but Liam doesn't seem to understand that. I've had enough of his stubbornness and I swear to God, all I want to do is to just bang his head on the nearest wall!
I walk to the door stomping my feet and with a murderous look on my face. Pagkabukas ko ng pinto, mukha niyang nakangisi ang unang una kong nakita and I swear, i wanna rip his smirk on his face.
"What the fuck do you need at this time? You do realize that it's already 10pm, right? Hindi ka ba naturuan ng good manners and right conduct? Don't you know it's rude to go to a woman's house at a late time especially when a woman lives alone?"
Asik ko sa kniya na tila ba wala namang epekto sa kaniya dahil nakangisi pa rin siya. I'm starting to get irritated with his face. Paano ba ako naattract sa taong to?
Because, admit it or not, gwapong yummy siya.
Another part of my brain said that makes me roll my eyes. Alam ko naman na may crush ako sa mokong na ito but he is just so annoying. I just love hiss looks but not his kakulitan.
"Gusto ko lang naman ibigay itong vanilla ice cream na binili ko. Nakita ko kase sa IG mo na gusto mo kumain ng vanilla ice cream so I bought you some."
I just looked at him with mouth agape. The fuck? How weird and stalkerish does this man could get?
"Alam mo, ang creepy mo na. You're taking stalking seriously. Is that your new profession?"
I asked sarcastically. I didn't even offer him to come in. The hell with him.
"Kunin mo na, Vie. Ngawit na ko. Idinaan ko lang naman talaga ito dito. Pauwi na rin ako."
"Why the hell would you buy that? Isa pa, napakalayo ng house mo from here. It's like north and south."
"Just say 'thank you' and take it already."
"Sino ba kase nagsabi sayong bilhan mo ko? I was justs expressing my thought but I didn't tell anyone, particularly you, to buy me this."
"Gusto ko lang bilhan ka. Pandagdag pogi points para sagutin mo na ako."
"Bakit naman kita sasagutin? Nanliligaw ka ba?"
"Hindi ba halata?"
He said annoyed. Damn! Malay ko ba na nanliligaw siya eh wala naman siyang sinabing manliligaw siya.
"Hindi. At isa pa hindi ako nagpapaligaw. And hindi mo naman sinabi na nanliligaw ka."
I said rolling my eyes at him. I know I shouldn't be happy about that but damn, I am! Kinikilig ako sa isiping nanliligaw siya. It makes me want to dream of me and him together.
"I was so obvious, Vie. Even Violet and Hershey noticed that I am courting you. I wouldn't be spending my gasoline, money, and effort if I ain't courting you. It should only take common sense to know that, you know. Isa pa, wala akong pakialam kung ayaw mo magpaligaw, hindi naman ako nanghihingi ng permiso. I'll just do my best for you to fall for me and say yes. I can wait because I know that when that day comes, everything is gonna be worth it so buckle up, babe, 'cause Imma woo you the way you wouldn't imagine."
And with that he held my hand and give me the ice cream, kissed my forehead, walked away, and drove away. I was left dumbfounded because I wasn't expecting that. Especially the kiss on the forehead. I felt so special because of that kiss, like I'm important. It feels like I matter.
Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko because my freaking heart suddenly beats erratically and heat is starting to rush onto my cheeks making it red. It feels like the time has stopped when he kissed my forehead, no one has ever kissed me with such tenderness. I jumped upon hearing the dog bark. I shook my head in disbelief with how I acted and just went inside.
That night, while lying on my bed, two things has been running on my head. I was torn between giving him a chance or not because I'm scared. I'm scared that he will be just like him.
That was the last thought I had before I was carried to oblivion.
