Chapter 18

"Library?" Agad akong napangiwi. "Seriously?" Lingon ko kay Leion.

Tinaasan ko s'ya ng kilay pero hindi n'ya ako pinansin. He pulled my hand and we entered the boring library. I can't believe it.

Alright, I love the smell of books. The air-conditioned hall and the quietness of the whole library. But can libraries be romantic? Yes. Can Leion make the library romantic for me? Of course not! I'm sure, ang libro n'ya ang ka-date n'ya ngayong araw.

"You can sketch here." He said before he let me sit on one of the chairs.

Agad akong napasimangot at tiningala s'ya dahil nanatili naman s'yang nakatayo sa gilid ko.

May kaunting estudyante sa paligid. Ang ilan sa kanila, napansin ang presensya namin ni Leion. Pero ang karamihan, abala sa mga laptop or libro.

May computers din sa malayong gilid. May mga harang 'yon at nagmukhang mga office stalls. Ang inuupuan ko ngayon ay malayo sa librarian at malapit sa mga bookshelves.

"I'm bored, Leion." Nakanguso kong sabi.

Leion pursed his lips and scooted down as he placed his right hand on the back of my seat at ang isa naman, sa lamesa.

Naamoy ko tuloy ang pabango n'ya. It smells so good. Ang pabango ng mga naging ex ko, amoy boyish. But his is different. Lalaking-lalaki. Like a grown up. A bachelor.

I got a nice view of his neckline. It was covered by the crisp collar of his uniform. Ang necktie, maayos na naka-knot. Some of my classmates would wear it loosely, pero si Leion, he always wears it properly.

Wala naman akong pakielam do'n dati, pero now that I get to observe Leion's every detail, I realized that I like it when someone wears his uniform properly. Ang linis tingnan at... sexy. I cleared my throat.

Leion's jaw clenched but I can see that he's amused with me. I continued on pouting. Please, date me.

"I'm going to study, playgirl." Aniya bago umayos ng tayo.

I frowned at him at hindi ko pinansin ang pag-init ng mga pisngi ko.

Nakaka-inis. The books have won this round.

Pinanood kong pumunta sa isa sa mga sections ng libro si Leion. I sighed before I took my travel size sketchbook and pencil out of my bag. For the first time, gusto kong huwag na munang mag-sketch so just I could spend time with someone.

Someone who looks like he's more interested in books!

I snorted and I stood up, leaving my messy sketch on one of the hardwood tables in the library. Hinanap ko si Leion.

"Leion." I called but no one answered.

Lumibot pa ako nang kaunti at nahanap ko s'ya sa isa sa mga bookshelves, may hawak na dalawang libro at nagbabasa ng ilang mga content doon.

I saw that there is a girl with him, malayo nang kaunti sa kan'ya at nagbabasa rin ng libro. But when I caught her steal a glance at Leion, I realized that she's an admirer.
