Coffee? / Sandro Marcos

Chapter 15

Margaret

Sandro is now courting me! yay! I'm so excited kung ano mangyayare. I would really love to know how he'll do it. We've been hanging out twice a week for the past 2 months. Minsan mag lunch kasama siya out of the office and pupunta kami sa BGC. Nag di-dinner din kami sa mga tago na restaurant or sometimes at his car which I prefer kasi it's only us inside. My mom would invite Sandro over for the weekend if he's not busy.

"Hey love!" Nasa labas kami ngayon ni Sandro sa Rockwell. I saw him waving at me and I went ahead towards him.

"Sandro, you know I'm not your girlfriend" sabi ko papunta sakanya "yet" I added. He gave me a hug then a kiss on the forehead. "san tayo?" he asked. "lakad lakad nalang muna" umokay naman siya and naglakad na kami. 

"Look! churros" I pointed out a store called La lola who was selling churros. "Want some?" tinanong naman ni Sandro.

"Uhuh, can we buy some?" 

"Of course" we bought some churros and walked around the mall. I like how no one really bothers Sandro whenever we're here. It's not that I don't like it when everyone is all over him, it's just nice sometimes when it feels normal to walk around the mall without anyone recognizing him nor raising any questions.

"It's yummy" sabi ko kay Sandro

"It is indeed yummy" 

Inaya ko naman siya sa isang bookstore that is really huge inside. I took Sandro's hand and took him inside. "I just have to find a book" 

"can I help?" he asked

"of course! thank youuu" he laughed and went to search for some books. I was looking at the fiction aisle when Sandro called my name from behind with a ton of books in his hands. He was carrying more than 10 books! he was smiling at me like a proud child. 

"What the hell is that?!" 

"BOOKS! I couldn't pick one so I took everything that looked interesting" ANG CUTE!  naka tayo lang siya sa harap ko while I'm sitting down trying to look for some books.

"Let me get you a basket, hun" I stood up and kumuha ng basket in front. 

"Thank you, honey" sabi niya ng ipinakita ko sakanya yung basket. He put all the books that he was carrying inside the cart. 

"look at what I got you!" sabi niya excited na excited. Halatang proud siya sa ginawa niya and ngiti ng ngiti. "you're so cute" 

"No u!" sabi niya while pinching my cheeks

"stoooop! okay, let me see what you got me" tinignan ko  naman yung mga napili niya and it really looks interesting and more likely about economics and law stories. What do I expect, he is an economics and politics graduate. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "It's more on economics and politics" sabi ko sakanya. 

"Yup! It really looked interesting eh! but hey, I got you some romance aaanddddd sci-fi!" 

"oohh thank you! which of these 7 books do you most like?" I let him pick sa mga economics na napili niya.

"These two"

"I can't buy everything, Sands. I'm sorry but I will buy these two and the romance and sci-fi" 

"I can buy it for you!" 

"No" he pouted. 

"I don't want you spending too much on me, Sands. I already appreciate these books you brought" I smiled at him and caressed his cheek. 

"Don't pout na" I added. Napangiti na ulit siya and we went ahead to buy the books.

"Simon said he's around the place. Want to have dinner with him?" Sandro asked.
