Enclave Series 1 : Rush Villanueva (GxG)

Chapter THREE

Bahagya akong nasaktan sa sinabi nya but I didn't let it showed on my face " oo naman. Kamusta na? "

Tumaas ang kilay nito " okay naman, still the same... nothings new, anong ginagawa mo dito? " tahasan nitong pagtatanong.

I rubbed my neck dahil sa pagiging prangka nito " ahmm... ibibigay ko lang sana itong term paper na ipinagawa nyo sa akin ni Alice eh " I stated kasabay ng pag-abot ng dalawang white folder sa kanya.

"you mean, ipinakisuyo Rush. Hindi ipinagawa. " sarcastic na sabi nito. "thanks anyway, I'll just pass this to Alice later " at akma ng tatalikod when I automatically grab her arm.

She paused then glance at  my hand na nuon ay nakahawak pa din sa kanya. Animo napaso ako sa way ng pagtitig nya kung kaya't nahihiya kong tinanggal ang aking kamay "i-im sorry" I apologize.

She didn't say anything and just eyed me with questioning eyes na animo nababagot.

"ahmmm... i-I ... okay lang ba i-if I invite y-you f-for... "kandabuhol na usal ko pausing on my mid sentence.

Bree raised her eyebrow waiting for me impatiently which cause me to spill my intention so quickly.

"snack... errr... i-I mean can I invite you for a snack? "dire-diretso kong tanong reprimanding myself sa pagkataranta sa harapan ng babaeng sinusuyo.

"just a quick one.... Promise.. " dugtong ko motioning my hands na animo nanunumpa. "Unless.... you're not available...  " mahina kong pag usal ng hindi ito kumibo and just crossed her arms.

Say yes please.

She stared at me for a while which make me feel too nervous ng halos mapatalon sa tuwa when she response

"okay" tipid nitong sagot.

I smile at nahihiya syang sinabayang maglakad.

We didn't say a word habang naglalakad papunta sa isang coffee shop sa loob ng aming University. Sya ang nagrequest na duon na lang kami kumain dahil ayaw na nya ang mapalayo sa kagustuhang makauwe kaagad.

We sat on the corner and i order food for us. blueberry cheese cake and hot white coffee for her as per request and caramel frap for me.

As soon as I get it ay marahan akong lumakad sa table namin. Na-concious pa ako when I saw her intently looking at me habang naka de kuwatro at nag iintay sa akin.

I carefully place our food on the table and as soon as I sat down opposite to her ay tsaka ito kumibo.

"you don't like coffee ? " nakakunot na tanong nito matapos tignan ang aking frap.

"yeah...sort off.. hindi kasi ---"

" ito ang inumin mo" putol nito and quickly grab my frap and replace it with her white coffee. Tsaka nya diretsong ininum ang dapat ay sa akin while staring at me.

I paused for a while amuse na tumitig sa kanya not aware of my other reaction.

"oh bakit naka-kunot ka? Ayaw mo ? " sita nito na animo naninindak.

I quickly shook my head " n-no ... of course not.. actually .. I do like c-coffee.." pagkakaila ko and gently sip on my drinks.

This is not good, Rush. Lagot ka kay Gap.

Bulong ng alter ego ko which I disregard and focus on the lady in front of me instead.

"s-so... how are you Bree ?" bungad ko sa pinasiglang tinig trying to break the ice between us.

"you already asked me that question a while ago...  wala ka na bang ibang maisip na itanong ? " masungit na sagot nito na muntik ko ng ikasamid.

Naku Rush. Ano ka ba naman ..hindi ka pa ba sanay sa babaeng iyan ?
