Chapter 47
"You never had a date in a simple resto, really?"
I sipped a nice served tequila at bahagyang sumipsip ng lemon. I looked at Evander with a sour face.
"Yes..."
"And you're always at the bar? How can you date someone in here?"
Siyempre, that's a total lie. Gusto ko lang talagang ayawan niya ako.
He said he likes me while I'm not. Plus... we just met! Men who can say that quickly are not trustworthy.
"Oops, sorry..." Nabangga ko siya. Magpapanggap lang talaga sana ako na umiinom pero mukhang tuluyan na akong nalasing.
Come on, I don't even come with my cousins here. If ever... once or twice lang! Napilitan pa ako! At saka, hindi ako umiinom, 'no! May mga instances lang talaga na ganoon ang nangyayari. Like... now.
"You're drunk..." Nakangiwing aniya sa akin. "Let me take you home."
"Gentleman?"
"Basic etiquette..."
"Tss!"
God, nahihilo na talaga ako. Kung ako ang masusunod ay uuwi na talaga ako!
I got to act like some insane woman first. I'm sure that a guy like him will be turned off with this kind of behavior.
"You know what... you remind me of my ex-boyfriend." Hirit ko kaya ramdam kong natigilan siya.
Well... ayaw ng mga lalaki ang ganoon, 'di ba? Nakaka-build ng insecurity.
"Gentleman... soft-spoken... ano pa ba?" I'm half awake, hindi ko na rin alam ang mga sinasabi ko. "Malaki ang—"
"I'll just... take you home. Stop talking."
Tumawa ako. "Malaki ang size ng paa... hahaha."
"Malaki rin ang magiging galit sa akin ng pinsan mo kapag hinayaan pa kita rito. Let's go."
"Let him be. Ano bang pakialam nila sa akin?"
"I didn't expect that you would be this... wild. Scott told me you're a very nice girl."
"I am a nice girl!" I pouted. Hindi ko na rin makilala ang sarili ko.
I put my hands above his chest. Agad naman siyang umiwas sa ginawa kong iyon.
Oh my god... I'm having goosebumps. Paniguradong pagsisisihan ko 'to once I gain my full sanity.
"Leigh." He almost whispered. "We just met. What are you doing?"
"What kind of alibi is that? You said you like me earlier. Hindi madaling sabihin iyon sa first meeting..."
"That's a different matter."
"It's the same."
"It's not."
"Why are you..." Uminom pa ulit ako ng isang shot. "Insisting that idea? It's the same. If you like me... saan ba papunta iyon? Dito rin naman..."
