I love you. Three words that can create a huge impact in someone's life. I thought I was an exception, but then you came.
It was so fast, my love. So unbelievable. How did I fall in love with you so easily? We were there having the most casual conversation yet I was instantly drawn to how your lips moved and how your voice sounded.
"Excuse me?" I felt a light tap on my shoulder.
I turned lazily as I was busy typing a message, trying to contact my friends I'm supposed to meet.
"Yes?" I answered without looking at you.
"Do you know where the Social Sciences building is?"
Your voice was soft and a bit raspy. For some reason, it urged me tip my head up and meet your eyes. They're wonderful, Jhoana. I will never regret looking into those eyes for the first time.
I was hoping that you didn't mind me staring because I couldn't really take my eyes off of yours. I've never seen a pair that beautiful.
"From this building go straight until the that intersection over there," I pointed and your eyes immediately followed. "Tapos turn right and you'll see a white building."
I was quietly wishing you'd take a glance at me before leaving and luckily you did.
"Thank you!" You said with a playful grin which revealed all of your teeth.
"No problem," I replied too enthusiastically.
"Alis na ako ha. See you around campus." You turned around and clutched her folders tighter.
I didn't want you to go, love. I wanted to run after you and take you to the building myself, but I guess your charms left me dumbstruck. Moments after, my friends arrived and noticed that I'm smiling like a dork alone in the drop-off area.
"Hoy, Bea! You look like an idiot!" Maki said with a slap on my forehead.
"Oo nga. What's up with you?" Cel added.
I shook my head and chuckled. I just included you to my list of weird encounters.
"Just added another one on my list."
Maki raised her brow. "Girl or boy?"
"Girl."
"Owwwww," Cel said while giving Maki a knowing look.
"Baka eto na," Maki mumbled.
"Let's make a bet!" Cel excitedly suggested.
They would always have a bet whenever I mention that I had a weird encounter with a stranger because they think that if it affects me in a bizarre way, there might be a chance that I'll get myself into a relationship.
I'm a non-believer of love and I guess I'll continue to be even though a lot of people have told me or tried to convince me that there's someone out there who is going to change my perspective about everything.
