Ashie's POV
Hindi ko alam ang mraramdaman ko sa ginawang iyon ni Loki, his lips are so dam soft. My lemotions for the past three months bottled up, and when I saw him smiling and I have the impulse to slap him. He has his dam girlfriend.
His emotion changed when I slapped him.
"Damn you." I said and I walked out. My hear is raising and beating faster. I admit na kinilig ako, who would not? but this is wrong, I don't know what's the real score between them.
Dumating ang alas singko y media at sinundo na kami ng van. Hindi ko siya inimik buong byahe, may mga short stop kaming ginawa para mag-CR at kumain pero hindi ko siya pinansin man lang. Amber and Isaac called to check on me. Mommey and kuya Nathan did the same. I also heard him talking on the phone but I don't know kung sino ang kausap niya. Dumating kami ng Maynila ng maaga pa, nag pahinga ng kaunti at pag dating ng alas otso ng umaga, the convention started. Nasa malaking SMX convention center kami ng Aura. First day was exhausting ang daming sspeakers na pinakingan, may mga free foods naman. Second day was kinda normal.
We were given three hours break during lunch time, ginamit ko ang oras na iyon para mag liwaliw, pumunta ako ng Forever21 para bumili ng mga damit at pasalubong kay Amber, napadaan rin ako sa Top Shop at bumili rin ng mga damit. Nasa Pandora ako nung may humabtlot ng paper bags na hawak ko. It was Loki.
"What's wrong with you?" – I asked. I was intently looking at one of he charm bracelets when he grabbed my bags.
"Kasi mabigat? Ayaw kong nahihirapan ka. What are you looking at?" He asked
I block his sight, para hindi niya makitang sa charm bracelets ako nakatingin.
"Wala ka na doon, give me bag may damn paper bags!" – I demanded, lumabas ako ng Pandora at baka masuway pa kami ng babaeng nag babatay duon.
Then he bent closer to me, tipong hahalikan. WTF,
"You're special to me." He said
Ayan nananaman ang puso ko sa bilis ng tibok. Why does Loki has this effect on me? Ghad!
"Kinilig ka 'no?" he laughed, I slapped his shoulders for saying that. Ghad this man!
"Hmp! Kahit kalian talaga, assuming ka, Loki. Alam mo 'yun? Ganon ka!" I rolled my eyes at him at tried to pull my paperbags pero ilinayo niya ang kamay niya saakin.
I got distracted for awhile when my phone vibrated and it say that Clio is calling.
"Hi Clio, kamusta? I miss you! Miss ko na kayo!" - _ excitedly said
"We miss you too, Ashie, Happy Birthday!" – he exclaimed
"Thanks Clio!" I said at kaunting napalingon kay Loki sa tabi.
"Hoy, Sis! miss ka na naming! Happy birthday! Mwuah mwuah, chup chup!" – Usaac then blurted on the phone that made me laugh real hard. Damn this gay friend of mine
"I love you, Icy! I love you Clio! Thank you! Send my regards to Amber and to all of our friends! I need to drop the call at kailangan ko na bumalik sa convention." – I explained
"Akin na ang paper bag ko, Loki." I immediately said when I hung up the call, nag allakad na kami pabalik ng convetion.
"No, I insist. Ako na." – he said.
"We have to stay together no matter what. Kung nasaan ka, naroon din dapat ako so you'll see more of me often, Ashie." He said, damn it. Para naman akong mawawala dito?!
"So, congrats and happy birthday, Ashie." He said with a fake smile.
"Thank you but why are you congratulating me?" I asked. I am lost, may award baa ko na hindi ko alam?
"Kayo na pal ani Clio." He blurted which made me laugh so hard
"uh.. kayo na Pala ni Clio eh.. congrats!!" - Loki..
"Bakit ka tumatawa?" - Loki
"Kasi, nag seselos ka ba?" I bravely asked. I know, I know he might have a girlfriend but I just want to confirm if he's jealous or something. So I can act accordingly. I don't want to be sick of mixed signals he's giving me now. Especially that he kissed me on the rooftop before we left for this convention.
"'Wag ka mag-alala, hindi kami ni Clio and we'll never be. Kung mag seselos ka huwag kamang mag pahalata. Nakakaloka" – I said to lighten up the mood.
He then suddenly entertwined our hands, I tried to removed it but mahigpit ang pag kakahawa niya nito, I can't get off.
"I love you!"- Loki
I looked at him seriously. Nasasabi niyan saakin kahit na hindi niya linilinaw sa lahat kung girlfriend niya ba o hindi si Monique?
"Baka nakakalimutan mo Loki, you have a girlfriend." I said seriously.
He then held me closer this time, mabut at kaunti ang tao sa floor na ito dahil lunch time.
"Hindi ko girlfriend si Monique, Ashie. She's my ex yes but I will never be her boyfriend again. Okay? Stop thinking unnecessary thoughts. Ikaw ang mahal ko." He said
Oh Lord, I don't know what to say to this man. Bakit effortless niyang ansasabi ang mga salitang ang hirap bitawan para sa iba?
