"Ahm, did you enjoy our date?" I heard his whisper.
"Hmm, thank you..." I give him a small smile.
Should I say it now? Or maybe I'll wait for the right time? Paano ko ba sasabihin sa kaniya na gusto ko siya? Na m-mahal ko siya...
"What are you thinking?" he ask.
"Nothing, I want to go home... I'm little bit tired..." I said in a small voice.
"Are we okay?" he ask carefully. I look at him and I saw scared and worried his eyes is.
"Of course. Napagod lang ako, napagod kakatawa sa kwento mo" saka uli ako natawa. He smiled with relief.
Hinatid niya na din ako pauwi. "I had fun. Thank you, Enzo" I smiled.
"I'm glad you had fun. Thank you too, Ayu.." he smiled. He held my hand then pulled me to give me a quick kiss on my forehead, he also hug me before he leaves.
"Hm. Now I know kung sino ang pipiliin mo" napalingon ako sa likod ko nang marinig ko ang boses ni Sophie.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask her.
"I've been waiting for you kasi baka nakakalimutan mong gabi na" aniya.
"We just ate dinner" sambit ko naman. Nang makapasok sa loob ay agad niya akong hinila paakyat.
She closed the door of my room before she let me to sit on my bed.
"Si Enzo na ba?" she asked.
"What the hell are you talking about?" kunwaring tanong ko.
"Huwag mo kong maganyan-ganyan, Ayumi. Tinatanong kita kung si Enzo na ba ang pinili mo?" mas seryosong aniya.
"Wala pa akong pinipili sa kanila" sagot ko.
"Pero siya na? Si Enzo na ba ang nagugustuhan mo?" tanong niya nanaman. She really know me well. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang umamin sa kaniya.
"It's been him, before pa mag JS Prom..." I started the conversation. But I stopped too when I realize I haven't change my clothes.
"I'll continue it later after I take a half bath!" mabilis kong sabi at patakbong pumuntang bathroom para hindi niya na ako mapigilian.
"Ayumi!" sigaw niya sa irita. Natawa na lang ako sa loob. I started to take a half bath, lumabas ako ng bathroom nang naka roba.
Nakita ko naman si Sophie na masarap ang upo sa kama habang nakakumot at may unan pa sa lap niya habang nanonood ng kung ano sa laptop niya.
"Teka nga, gabi na 'di ba? Bakit andito ka pa?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
"Nabo-bored ako sa bahay kaya pumunta ako dito. Tapos ka na ba gumamit ng bathroom? Ako naman ah?" aniya at saka sinara ang laptop, kinuha niya ang bag na nakalagay sa gilid ng kama ko, hindi ko napansin 'yon ah.
Pumasok siya sa bathroom, hinayaan ko na lang at pumunta na ako sa walk-in closet ko to wear my pajamas.
Paglabas ko ay naglagay lang ako ng toner at moisturizer sa mukha bago ako naupo sa kama at nag cellphone.
Ilang minuto lang ang nakalipas ay nakalabas na si Sophie kaya nagsimula na akong magkwento sa kaniya.
"Naalala mo no'ng ginising niyo ako? Sabi niyo JS pa lang mamaya" sambit ko, tumango-tango naman siya kaya nagpatuloy ako.
"Nanaginip kasi akong nasa JS na tayo no'n tapos that time I chose Enzo.."
"Oh my gosh! For real?!" kinikilig nitong tanong.
"Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?"
"So si Enzo nga?" she asked again.
"Oo nga! Ang kulit mo" asik ko.
"Eh paano si Brent? Akala ko ba gusto mo siya?"
"I like him as a friend because he's a nice person, but that doesn't mean I love him or he's the one I'm choosing, it's just that I admire him for being kind, for being generous and being smart." I smiled. "But, Enzo is different, even if he gives me a bad guy vibes, he's always been cold to me, he's masungit but when we're only together? He's kind, he gives me butterflies" pagkukwento ko habang inaalala 'yong mga panahong magkasama kaming dalawa.
"Kailan mo narealize na siya na?" Sophie ask me. I look at her and smiled like an idiot. I started to tell it to her.
Flashback
"Ano ba 'yan! Tanga-tanga mo naman!" sigaw ni Rica sa akin, natapon ko kasi iyong shake na inorder ng costumer, hindi naman ito matatapon kung hindi niya tinapik ang kamay ko.
"Hey." nahinto kaming dalawa nang marinig namin ang boses ni Enzo. Seryosong-seryoso halata mong galit siya.
"I saw what you did! So don't you dare to call her that. Go back to work" asik niya. Natameme naman si Rica at tahimik na lang na bumalik sa pwesto.
I was about to get the broken glass when he held my hand and pull me until we reach the parking lot.
"Hey! Why did you drag me here?" I ask him.
"Get in." he simply said.
"I'm working, Enzo."
"I don't care. I'm your boss so follow me" asik niya na akala mo ay bagot na bagot na sa ginagawa.
Hindi na ako umimik at inalis ko ang hairnet at apron na suot ko. "Ibabalik ko lang to" sambit ko.
"Go change too. I'll wait for you here" he said.
"Saan ba kasi tayo pupunta?" iritang tanong ko.
"Just do what I said." asik niya. I sigh before go inside the Cafe. Pinalit ko na ang pamalit ko, I'm wearing a denim and a simple white shirt, tinuck-in ko ang shirt ko pero iyong bandang harapan lang.
Kinuha ko ang tote bag ko bago ako lumabas. I let my hair down. "Tara na!" asik ko nang makitang nakatulala lang siya. Napangisi ako.
Pinagbuksan niya ako ng sasakyan, pumasok na lang ako. Nagsuot ako ng seatbelt at ganoon din naman siya nang makasakay.
Habang nasa byahe ay nakaramdam ako ng antok. Kaya naman ay napagdesisyunan kong ipikit ang mata ko pero sa hindi inaasahan ay nakatulog ako ng tuluyan.
"Hey.." I heard a whisper. I slowly open my eyes and I saw Enzo smiling at me. Ngayon ko lang nakita 'yong ngiti niyang ganyan.
"We're here" he whispered. I look around and I saw that we're on a beach. "Let's go" he said.
Lumabas ako ng sasakyan and there I feel the air. "I miss beach" I whispered.
"Ang ganda" nagpakawala ako ng mahabang hininga, tila ba nawala ang pagod ko.
"Sobra." I heard him whispered, so I look at him. I caught him looking at me straightly, napaiwas siya agad nang magtama ang tingin namin.
Napangisi ako. This man is really..
Inabutan niya ako ng beer, at syempre hindi ko iyon tinanggihan. He open it for me and all I have to do is to drink.
We just talk something, some stuffs about us, what we wants, what are our hobbies and many more.
I enjoy being with him, I'm happy when I'm with him.. I'm comfortable when he's around, I feel safe when he's on my side..
I think I love him...
