Lagi nalang akong naka abang, di ko nga alam kung may aabangan pa ba ako. Laging nakatingin sa malayo, hoping that one day he might come back and save me from drowning, but I shouldn't expect that because I know that it won't happen anytime soon. Time already passed, yet I can't seem to move forward.

Three days have passed.
Logan sometimes visit my apartment bringing Side with him para may kalaro si Orion. Para ngang dito na s'ya titira dahil he sometimes ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner in my apartment. Kulang na nga lang na imbitahin ko s'ya na dito nalang tutuloy and making him my roomie, but I stop myself before doing so. I'm embarrassed, and he might reject my invitation.
Today is weekend's kaya wala kaming pasok dalawa sa work. We both worked at an office, and surprisingly we work at the same company. I didn't even know that he was there, well I don't really roam around the building that much, so it's not surprising, and I hardly even know some of my colleagues name's. Coincidence right.
I glance at him and saw that naka upo pala sya sa sahig playing with our dogs, thank God dahil nilagyan ko ng carpet. I just stared at them also enjoying what they were doing.
"Kai, how about we go to the mall today and play some arcades there?" He suggested, wiggling his eyebrows and a smile forming on his lips, "Sounds like a plan, right?" Still not stopping wiggling his eyebrows. I just laugh at his craziness.
I then nodded dahil wala naman akong gagawin sa bahay kundi ang magmukmok nalang and stalk my soc med friends. I'm not a stalker though, just curious about their life even though I don't know some of them.
He went back to his apartment with Side, so nagmamadali akong naligo at nagbihis. After twenty minutes in getting ready. I waited for him in my living room and notice na ang bilis ko palang naligo at nagbihis. Excited much selp, hmm. Ignoring my thoughts.
Five minutes later, Logan then enter my apartment, not even bothering to knock. He really feels at home na kulang na lang dito na s'ya titira.
"Are we good to go na ba?" He said after we put a leash on our dogs.
"Yeps, wala nang nakalimutan. Wallet, keys, and phones. Check," Sinabi ko pagkatapos makomperma ang lahat.
We then went outside and waited for the elevator to open. Pagka-baba namin we leave our dogs at the pet store beside our apartment building which is nagbabantay din sila ng pets if the owners wants to leave their pets behind.
Logan then hailed a taxi, after we got inside he said to the driver kung saan kami pupunta. Forty-five minutes later, the taxi stop in front of the mall. We paid him and went inside.
"Yasss, cold air come to papi," Then raising my hand waiting for the cold air to embrace me. Looking like an idiot. Because of what I did, I caught the attention of others. They might think that what mental institutes I came from.
Logan beside me just laugh, nasanay na sa aking kabaliwan even though we just meet and known each other in a span of three days.
Diretso kaming pumunta sa palaruan and decide what game we should play first. Inside the arcade, you could see all different types of game. We approach a booth where you could buy a token. After buying, Logan run sa unang nakita nyang malaruan and insert a token, so he can start playing. I then followed.
The older's and even the young kids look at us weirdly dahil lahat na ata dito nilaruan namin at samahan mo pa ng ingay, kulitan, at tawa na parang hindi matatapos. Ginabihan kami kakalaru and I decided na sa mall na lang din kami kumain before we go home.
Walking out of the mall, I feel the warm breeze of air cover my body. Pumara kami ng taxi and continue talking nonsense talk.

I could feel that I was lift and a slight movement, so I open my eyes to see Logan is carrying me.
O-M-G naba dis?
Am I still dreaming? If yes, don't wake me up, fles.
Gosh, Logan Sai is carrying me, not bridal style though just piggyback, but still mga ferson look at me and mainggit kayo HaHaHa.
Nakakahiya man dahil nakatulog ako, but worth it. I know that I dasurve this moment.
My insides were a scramble, a mess even. The butterflies inside me are in a riot, fluttering their wings like crazy. At this time, I don't know if I should say a word or two to let him know that I woke up or pretend that I was asleep, but crazy little me choose the former.
Here goes nothing, I guess.
I pretend to cough and clear my throat to let him know I'm awake.
"Nagising ba kita? Sorry. We are almost there, though," He said, still holding me.
"You can put me down now that I am awake you know, and I think I'm quite heavy," I replied, trying to go down-Not really.
"I didn't even feel carrying you in my back." Ano yarn, Light as a feather, hehehe. The crazy me inside my head speak up.
I thought na pinababa na nya ako dahil huminto sya pero he just settles me in his back and continue to walk, kaya hindi na lang ako nag-pumilit na bumaba. He insists, and who am I to deny diba.
We later arrive in front of my door and that's when he let me get down. Ngayon ko lang napansin na he's taller than I by five inches. I'm 5'9, and I think I'm pretty tall, but he's taller, must be 6'3 or something. When it comes to body size. I'm not muscular, just have a right portion of muscles, a bit of abs to show and the right portions of biceps. Just a healthy body to maintain. When it comes to him, have you seen or read Kim Myung-Dae (BJ MD from BJ Alex) if not then search it fersons it's a sight to see, Logan had the same type of body like MD. So he is pretty much ripped.
Binuksan ko ang aking pinto and was about to invite him in, when I realize na lumapit pala ang mukha nya sa'kin. An inch is left for our lips to touch, and he even went a bit closer, making me forget how to breath. Seconds feels like hours passed when he closed the gap that prevents our lips to touch.
When I felt his soft lips on mine, we stayed unmoved for a minute. He then moved his lips slowly, and I followed suit. I put my hands on his shoulder and lean against the wall to prevent myself from falling when I felt my knees turning into jellies. He put his hands around my waist and sliding them up and down just below my rib cage.
We move in sync, like we just practice it a while ago. His lips on mine were in rhythm, making me forget that we are still outside our apartments and didn't even care if somebody might see us. I don't even remember when was the last time someone kissed me this damn good.
Ten minutes passed and that was the best ten minutes that I've felt. He let go of my lips and looking at me, grinning like there's no tomorrow.
"Breath Kai," He said, still grinning like an idiot and making his Korean eyes more squint. Joy and something unreadable are visible in his honey brown eyes. Which made me stupidly smile.
I breathe just like he said, I didn't even notice I was holding it. I am still speechless, I don't know what to say when I can't even utter a word.
"Get inside Kai. See you tom's, Good night and dream of me," Winking at me and steal a quick kiss. He ran to his door, opening it, went inside waving bye at me before closing it.
I stood there for a minute and went inside, running to my room. I slumped to my bed, touching my lips, remembering what happen earlier. Furthermore, I then smile like a teenage boy getting his first ever kiss from his crush.
Wellp... Yay to no sleeping, I guess.
