CHAPTER       49        Sleepless

RUSTY'S  POV

I couldn't seem to fall asleep.    I  kept thinking about how my day with Sam went.       Just the thought of everything makes me smile over and over again.   Is this what kilig feels like?     

3:00 AM.       That's what my bedside alarm shows.      Geez.    I have a feeling this is going to be an all-nighter.      Scenes from yesterday's happenings kept playing in my head.

I was very excited to see her after our last exam.    Boy,  I haven't seen her for a week but it felt like a really long time.    I had to stay away from her this week in order for me to stay focused on the exams.     It was hard not to see her especially when I have been spending a lot of time with her the past week.     It was also hard trying to avoid her.    I had to make sure that I left school right away afer the exams.   But though I haven't showed myself up to her, I ordered my buddies to bring her goodies everyday.     It's my way of showing her that I still think of her.      

To think about it, I still haven't really told her that I like her.    But I do hope that she gets it.     Besides, action speaks louder than words right?    I know that I still have to tell her, eventually.    In time, I will.

 I wanted to ask her out yesterday.    Uhm, I didn't really have any plans but I just wanted to spend time with her.     I was kinda disappointed when she told me that she was going out with her friends instead.     But I couldn't believe it when she told me I could come with them.     Instantly, I agreed to come with her even with the knowledge that I'd be with a bunch of girls.    I didn't care.    All I wanted to do was be with her, regardless of what she'd like to do or who she'd like to be with.

I held her hand on our way to her friends but she immediately took her hand away from mine as we got closer to them.    Then she blushed again.    Was she embarrased to be seen holding hands with me?    I'd better just try again later.

I drove the two of us to the mall.    Yes, just the two of us.   Somehow I had a feeling that her friend, Kiki, did it on purpose.   I  wonder why.    But anyway, I enjoyed that moment being alone with Sam.    She looked kinda nervous.    She was also checking the interiors of my car out, like she was inspecting.    I'm glad I just cleaned my car.   

I wanted to tell her that she had to put the seatbelt on but I decided to play around a little bit.  I wanted to see what her reaction would be if I inched myself closer to her.    Surprisingly, she closed her eyes.    Was she anticipating for something to happen?    To my amusement, I just watched her the whole time she had her eyes closed.    It was after a while before she opened her eyes again.    She looked surprised to see me in front of her.    Her face flushed.    I just grinned at her and reached closer to pull her seatbelt.   Then I whispered to her, "you need to buckle up."   She looked stiff after that.    I just chuckled to myself.

As we got to the mall, I was greeted with stares coming from girls that passed us by.   Some of them smiled at me and even said hi.   I just ignored them.   But when it was becoming a little annoying, I decided to hold Sam's hand again.   That was my way of telling those girls that I wasn't interested at any of them but the the one I was with.     Sam seemed to have enjoyed it that she even had a triumphant smile on her face.   She didn't seem to mind me holding her hand  when we we're by ourselves.    It felt so good  .   I hoped that she wouldn't take her hand away once we're with her friends.
