Chapter 7: DATE

Michelle

"Mitch, ano ang isusuot mo bukas?"

Bahala ka na, Darla.

Nilagpasan ko ang assistant ko. I am on cloud nine. Brix asked my number kanina. So ngayon, I need to wait if he will message me.

"Mitch—"

"Ano ba, Darla? Can't you see, I'm busy?"

Darla looked lost when she stares at me. Napa-hay na lang ako.

"The white one. Nothing goes wrong with the white." Tinuro ko ang white dress na hawak niya. I left her in my walking closet to prepare my things for tomorrow.

I type a message kay Rose but she will be at her work. 'Nu ba 'yan, wala akong mapag-share-an ng kilig. Star is also kilig din today eh.

My phone ping and gosh, muntik na akong mag-jump. I calmed myself before I open the message.

Brix: Hon, nakauwi ka na? 

Oh my God, he keeps calling me hon. Baka masanay ako. I type my reply with a smile.

Mitch: Yeah. How about you?

This messaging is kinda nerve-wracking. Is it too early for me to call him?

Brix: Yup. So, ano na ngayon ang ginagawa mo?

Mitch: Preparing for tomorrow. And you?

Brix: Thinking of you.

"My God—" napahiga ako sa bed and make gulong all over. "He's thinking of me."

What will I reply to that? Lord, hindi bago ang lines niya but I'm so kilig talaga.

Mitch: Hay, how many times have you used that line with other girls?

Brix: Hon, huwag kang naniniwala sa mga sinasbai ni Blaze about me.

Mitch: Sir Blaze didn't say much about anything other than finding x, lol.

Brix: Haha, boring. Can I call?

Shit... OMG... Hinga, Mitch before magreply.

Mitch: Sure.

I waited for him to call. And few seconds after he read the message, he indeed called.

"Hello."

"Hi, hon," he greeted that made me giggled.

My God, Mitch, school girl ka?

"You keep calling me that. Pa-fall ka, chiong?"

"Hindi ah. Hindi ako gano'n."

"Right... so, what now? Why did you call me?"

I hide my smile under my pillow.

"I just want to hear your voice," he replied.

"Aww, how sweet. Seriously Brix—"

"Serious naman ako, Mitch. Crush kaya kita."

OMG... Nabapangon ako bigla.

"Brix—"

"I saw you at UAAP. Remember the UP-Ateneo match? Tapos kumakanta kayo ng Sexylove—"

"No way, you were there?" Totoo? Destiny na ba ito? 

"Yup. I saw you there."

Gosh, my heart, keep steady ka muna. Excited much ka.
