Hey, My Coffee Lover

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

When I finally admitted to myself that I like him, everything changes. Parang lahat biglang nagkaroon ng meaning para sa akin. It's like every single thing he do, my heart feels happy and satisfied.

Before, it was so normal for us to tease each other. But now, I cannot even look straight into his eyes without feeling nervous. Normal lang naman sa amin noon na magkaroon ng physical contact. But now, I can't, because everytime he's near, I feel like there's an electric force between the two of us.

I don't know that this is how it feels.

I had my crushes before but not to this extent. I never liked them the way I like Sam. And honestly, it terrifies me, because we're friends.

"Coffee mo."

"Ha?" napabalik lang ako sa wisyo ko nang nilapag ni Sam ang isang espresso sa harapan ko.

It's already February but the weather is still cold. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nasa harapan ko sya dahil iniisip ko sya.

Nagpa-panic ako ng kumuha ng wallet habang inaalala kung umorder ba ako. My forehead creased when I realized I didn't.

My heart thumped again with the thought the he brought me this. Kumuha pa rin ako ng pera at inabot sa kanya.

"Bayad ko."

Ngumisi sya bago pinisil ang ilong ko. It feels like I sucked out of breath with what he did.

See? My body reacts differently with him. I cannot control it anymore.

"Libre yan." he said. Sumimangot ako.

Weekend ngayon at finally vacation na namin. Next week uuwi muna ako sa probinsya para doon magbakasyon. I just stayed here for awhile so I can pack my things.

"Palagi ka na lang nanlilibre." sabi ko. Kung si Zoey o si Tupe to matutuwa pa ako. But this is Sam.

I don't want to be hopeful. He's already like that when we met. Ayokong paasahin ang sarili ko pero hindi ko naman kontrolado yung nararamdaman ko. Umaasa ako kahit wala namang aasahan.

"Okay lang. Para madami ka ng utang na loob sa akin." he smirked. Binato ko sya ng tissue at tumawa naman sya.

"Punta ka sa apartment bukas?" he asked.

"Ha? Bakit?"

"Miss ka na ni Finn." he shrugged. I snorted. He really act as if he can actually talk to a fish.

"Kapag yun talaga nakapagsalita, matakot ka." I said.

"He is. We're communicating."

"Shokoy ka ba?" I asked with narrowed eyes. Sam laughed at me. I bit my lip.

He really find everything I say amusing. Kahit wala namang kwenta ang mga sinasabi ko.

"Birthday ni Lola sa isang araw e. I'll bake her a cake. I want to ask for help if you didn't mind?" aniya at nagkamot ng ulo.

Mabilis akong tumango.

"I can bake!" mabilis na agad ko. Nakitaan ko ng mangha ang mukha nya sa reaksyon ko. I blinked and cleared my throat.

I didn't mean that to impress him! I just want to help.
