SO FAR, masaya namang kasama itong si Adam. He's so friendly and anyone can fall in his charms. He jokes a lot and he's funny to be with. He's a little bit tipsy now kaya rin siguro mas madaldal siya.
"So you have younger siblings too? Wow, iyon siguro ang dahilan kung bakit ang bilis nating magkasundo." Sabi niya. I chuckled in agreement. He's talking a lot about his younger sister and brother and I enjoyed listening about it. Siguro dahil ako rin ang panganay sa amin ay nakaka-relate ako sa mga kwento niya.
"To be honest, my younger brother is facing a dilemma right now." Pagkukuwento ko. Naantig naman ang atensyon niya.
"Really? What about it?" Tanong niya. I just laughed and looked at the sea. Napailing pa ako sa pag-iisip.
"My brother is growing up so quickly that he's now having hardships dealing with girls." Sabi ko. Nakakaintinding tumango naman si Adam saka natawa.
"Girls, huh? How old is your brother?" Tanong niya.
"He's sixteen." Maikling tugon ko. He nodded and grinned knowingly.
"That's quite normal for sixteen years old boys. I remember I lost my virginity when I was 14 to some chick in high school." Pagkukuwento niya. Nag-flinch naman ako sa narinig. I feel like my face grew red out of the sudden.
"W-Well, boys are boys. Of course you can't handle yourselves without sustaining your needs." Sabi ko nalang. And does he really have to say something like that? Is he not aware it's TMI?
"Well, we guys can only forget about sexual needs if they are respecting and patiently waiting for their special someone. After all, you can't rush love." He said while staring at me. I can't help but to stare at his eyes. It's kind of shining brightly. I suddenly got nervous.
"What if the guy is waiting for the wrong girl? What if the girl isn't worth the wait?" Hindi ko napigilang sabihin patungkol sa kanya. Hindi siya nagulat sa tanong ko at sa halip ay ngumiti.
"As long as the guy thinks that the girl is worth it, he'll take the risk regardless of how painful it might be." Nakangiting sabi niya. I bit my lips and stepped back. This kind of conversation makes me uncomfortable.
I can feel his sincerity and it's reaching my heart. But for some reason, I feel really guilty. This guy is too good to be true, and I think he deserves better. Hindi ko alam pero parang nagkamali ako ng desisyon.
"Adam, I'll be straight with you," Sabi ko saka tumingin sa mata niya. "I like you as a friend." Pigil kaba kong sabi. Ngumiti naman siya.
"Am I being friend-zoned?" Pabiro niyang sabi. Inirapan ko naman siya dahil doon. I took a deep breath.
"I'm serious, Adam." Seryosong sabi ko.
"I'm also serious, Loraine." Nakangiti ngunit seryosong sabi niya. "And besides, it's too early to turn me down. We'll be seeing each other often for the next one and a half month. After you're done with your stay here, give me an answer. If you choose me or reject me, I'll accept your decision." Desididong sabi niya. Nakagat ko ang labi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya.
He's right. I still have a lot of time in my hands. And I can't say what will happen in the future. Maybe in the next few weeks, I'll wake up and find that I have feelings for him. I'm already eighteen and legal. Malaya na rin naman ako sa kahit na anong ties pagkatapos ng deal na ito. Moreover, wala naman akong boyfriend na magagalit.
Then, the image of Lucas popped in my mind. Damn! Why am I even thinking of him?
"You know, I have this feeling that you'll get hurt because of me." Nagpapakatotoong sabi ko kay Adam. He just stared at me.
