Good Boys Are Boring (Finished)

Chapter Eleven

"Why?" He suddenly asked her, now staring too while squinting his eyes.

"You understand French..."

"I do," He answered like it was completely normal, "During high school, we had a subject for foreign languages and you have to choose what foreign language do you want to learn and study. I chose French."

"This is embarrassing..."

"Are you embarrassed... of me?" He asked, now raising an eyebrow at her. Nagsusungit na naman.

"No," She immediately buried her face with her hands, "God, this is embarrassing! May mga nasabi ako in French na dapat hindi mo maintindihan."

She told him she has a crush on him. She told him he was too handsome. She told him a lot of embarrassing stuff in French tapos naintindihan pala nito lahat. Kung pwede lang siyang kainin ng lupa sa mga oras na iyon.

"There's nothing embarrassing about it, Robyne." He replied and it made her to look at him. Nakatingin pa rin ito sa pagkain.

"Really?"

"Yes."

She suddenly felt her heart fluttered. Natahimik naman siya. Ewan ba niya kung bakit feeling niya para siyang isang high school student na kinikilig dahil pinansin na rin siya ng crush niya. She wasn't supposed to be like this. During her teens, she was a bad girl. She even dislikes nerds or good boys. Ang type niya 'yung mga bad boy na laging wild at adventurous, even those who have active sex life.

Para sa kanya, a man like her professor is boring and too serious.

But then he always defies the definition of boring.

She grinned, composing herself. She then rested her chin on her right hand while the other one was playing with her hair. She's going to tease him again, "Oh, so you agree that you're very handsome?"

Napatigil naman ito at tinignan siya. He looked at her in disbelief.

She giggled, "Pikunin ka talaga," She bit her burger again, "So you're really back."

"One week is already enough for being away," He said, focusing on his food again, "Where were you this morning?"

"Hospital."

Muli naman itong napatigil.

"Nothing serious. Iyong second check-up ko lang. Remember last time na sabi ko sayo na naospital ako? That was it."

Napabuntong-hininga naman ito, "You should refrain from going to parties and drinking."

Robyne shrugged, "If I will, I won't hear you sing anymore."

Lio stopped again and looked at her.

"What? Ikaw lang naman ang dahilan kung bakit loyal ako sa club ni Jade. I missed you singing. Kailan ka ba kakanta ulit?"

Bigla naman itong napayuko. Robyne noticed his face turned red again. She smiled. He looked cute with his reaction.

"We're in school, Ms. Mercier. Don't talk about personal... things." He awkwardly reasoned out. Natawa na lang siya.

"I'm really going to miss you sing, Sir." She said out of blue.

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive
