"Nakakahiya ka, Blake!" a faint chuckle went out of my mouth, but I ignored my friends and stayed looking at Cuevas, who is now shaking his head but a smile was slowly kissing his lips.
Gago. Bakit parang may kung ano sa tiyan ko?
"Kilala mo ba 'yun?" I shook my head and sighed.
Fuck. My heart is beating so fast. Am I palpitating? But I didn't drink coffee this morning...
"Alis na tayo. It's almost ten." it was me who asked to leave this time because I was not comfortable with what I was feeling in my chest.
I looked at the man for the last time before leaving the place.
That was the first time I saw him at the soccer field, playing and covered with sweat. But that was definitely the last time I went there to pass the time because the next day I went there, I was certain that the reason wasn't because I wanted to pass the time. Lumipas ang mga araw na pumupunta ako sa soccer field upang panoorin siyang maglaro.
I don't know. Maybe because it reminded me of the days I would go to school to practice football with my friends?
"You shouldn't go here when our practice is on going. You might get hit with a ball." he said one time when he went closer to where I was sitting.
I scoffed and the side of my lips turned upward. "Huwag mo akong utusan." I looked away and watched his teammates have a break. "Why are you here? Go to your teammates."
"Huwag mo akong utusan." parang biglang uminit ang tenga ko dahil sa narinig ko sa kanya.
Aba! Nagtatagalog pala 'to!
"Mayabang talaga." I whispered and ignored the fact that he sat not too far from me.
"You are not with your friends?" lumingon ako sa kanya. Nakaupo na siya ngayon habang ang mga palad ay nakatukod sa kanyang likod, supporting his weight. And I hate the fact that my gaze slipped from his face to his leaning body and to his biceps.
"May nakikita ka bang may kasama ako? Diba wala?" I asked sarcastically, which earned a laugh from him.
I looked away when he turned to me.
"I'm just asking. Why are you getting mad?" lumingon ulit ako sa kanya na nakakunot ang noo. Halos maubo ako nang mapagtanto na hindi niya suot ang kanyang salamin at nakikita ko nang maayos ang kanyang mga mata.
I put my palm on the ground behind me, mimicking his position.
"I'm not mad." I said. He was looking ahead so I let myself stare at his face.
"I guess I offended you last week. I just want to apologize. I didn't mean to judge you that way. I just thought you were going to skip the class."
His lips were moving smoothly as he talked slowly, his jaw was clenching a bit.
"I don't care about that now. I don't care about what you think of me." I said to snap myself back, stopping myself from ogling at his perfectly sculpted face.
Man is so fine.
And I understand those women who want him. I'm a man myself but I know when a man is attractive, and he is one of those. He is one of us.
I smirked at what I was thinking. Of course! Kung gwapo siya, mas gwapo ako!
"Where are your friends?" his question made me turn to him again.
"Why do you keep on asking about my friends?" he didn't answer and remained looking at me. "Don't tell me you like one of my friends?!" I said unbelievably when I remembered that it's possible that this man likes men.
