Chapter 20

I didn't know if Jasper was enjoying our date, but I definitely did! After naming kumain, never na siya naglakad sa likod ko! We were walking side by side, and swear, konti na lang, I would have linked my arms with his! Sobrang curious na kasi talaga ako on how it would feel to hold him... kasi ang gwapo talaga ng arms niya.

Ewan ko. Weakness ko na yata 'yung arms niya.

"What are you going to buy?" Jasper asked for the nth time.

"Naghahanap pa ako."

"We've been going around for nearly an hour," he said, suspicious.

"Wala pa 'yung gusto ko talaga," I replied, not wanting this day to end. Syempre kasi pagbumalik na kami sa bahay, hindi na pwede 'yung ganito. Kellan said na I was too obvious sa crush ko kay Jasper... good thing my parents were always busy with work tapos my brothers were, as usual, busy with basketball kaya wala talagang nakakapansin sa mga kagagahan ko.

While we were walking around, nakakita ako ng shop for guys. Hinila ko si Jasper sa loob.

"Dito na!" I happily said. Diretso lang ako na pumasok at saka tumingin sa rack ng shirts. I got the navy blue shirt. "Jasper, tara dito," I said kasi nakatayo lang siya near sa entrance nung shop. Paglapit niya sa akin, nilagay ko sa harap niya iyong shirt tapos tinignan if it would fit.

As per usual, Jasper's forehead was creased. Ano bang bago? Siguro by the time he gets to 30 years old, puro wrinkles na siya.

"Hmm... Mukhang bagay naman," I said and then got the gray one and did the same thing. Nakakuha ako ng five shirts before I got contented. I looked at Jasper and smiled. "Okay na. I'll pay for these na," sabi ko bago nagsimula na maglakad papunta sa counter. Pero bago pa man ako makarating 'dun, Jasper held me by my wrist.

"I don't need you to buy me shirts," he said.

Napaawang 'yung labi ko—for a split second—bago ako nagsimula na tumawa. I must've been laughing real hard kasi napansin ko na napatingin na sa amin iyong ibang customers. Jasper turned a bit red because of the attention we were getting!

"Si Jasper ang feeler," I said after I calmed down after nearly a minute of doubling over. "Para kay Nico kaya 'yung shirts."

Jasper really looked embarrassed, but him being him, syempre he had a rebuttal.

"Then you should've taken him instead of me," he said, in a sungit way. Napahiya kasi.

"Umuwi nga kasi siya sa bahay nila, 'di ba? At saka kasalanan mo naman kung bakit ko binibilhan ng shirt si Nico," I told him.

Kunot noo na naman si First Lieutenant, but didn't say a word.

"Sabi kaya nila pinagpush-up mo raw sila ng madami—to the point na halos 'di na magkasya si Nico sa shirts niya."

And he turned red again! Gosh! Ganto lang pala dapat in order to make First Lieutenant blush! Dapat hulihin mo lang siya sa harap niya mismo ng mga pinaggagagawa niya! Ang dami na kaya!

"That's a part of their training," he replied, still a bit flushed.

I eyed him. "Sabi ko kaya sa 'yo before na bayaan mo silang umuwi sa bahay since wala naman ako sa Manila... At saka may iba silang sinabi sa akin..." I teased him.

"What?" he asked.

I shrugged. "Secret," I said, winking at him before going to the counter to pay for Nico's new shirts. I heard him calling my name, pero I ignored him. I liked having something over his head.
