Chapter 43

I looked back and now I'm lost. I can't blame him nor myself. Hindi ko gustong magkaganito sa tuwing tatama ang mata niya sakin. The color of the sky reflected on his fair skin. The reflection of pretty lights above the sky. It just made my view of him more…how do I even compliment him?

Get a grip, Gab.

"I..." Iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at uminat. Trying to escape from that spell. "...won't ask anything."

Tahimik lang siya. Alam kong alam niya ang ibig sabihin ko. I don't have any right to ask him. Who gave me right? No one. Tao rin si Gatorade and besides andun pa rin yung fact na his doing his job and I'm his client. I should know where I stand.

"I won't ask," But I always fail knowing where I stand. "Unless you want me to."

"Tricky."

I caught his small smirk, now I have the reason to smile too kahit hindi enough na reason yun. Jeez. Why am I like this? "You taught me how to be tricky."

"Oy. Hindi ah."

"Oo kaya." The smile grew wider, signaled that we're getting back to what it supposed to be.

Pero nung nagtama ang mga mata namin, alam naming dalawa na may dalawang bagay na tumatakbo ngayon. May taong magtatanong na kelangan ng sagot at may taong pipili kung sasagutin yun o itatago, namimili at nagtitimbang kung anong mas dapat.

"I won't force you so stop looking at me like you're worried."

"You're making me worried."

"Then stop. Don't think too much!"

"You taught me how to think too much."

I gave him a bored look at he did the same pero una siyang sumuko at ngumiti. See? He's really tricky and clever on his own ways. The lip smile was gone pero kita pa rin ang ngiti sa mga mata niya.

He reached my head and pulled me closer. Naramdaman ko ang labi niya sa right temples ko. He sighed for a moment, "Nakakainis ka."

The magic word. Di ko mapigilang hindi magreact. I smiled privately. Maya-maya nasa bewang ko na ang mga braso niya, hugging me from my side. I rest my head on his chin, found my comfortable spot.
