Can we date?

I texted him, feeling really uncomfortable with the set up Lyra has in mind.

There were protest earlier after her final decision on who's going with who, mostly from me and Eli.

What is that girl trying to pull off anyway?

Napatingin ako sa lalaki sa tabi ko. Nasa part kami ng botanical kung saan may mga pwedeng maupuan.

"What?" I ask when I saw him looking at me. He then lower his gaze on my phone.

Kanina pa pala ito nagvvibrate.

Where to?

Seryoso ba sya? I hide my uneasiness and maintain my composure. Calm. Kalma. Kalma Anne.

Same place?

I replied sounding unsure.

Rule no. 3: Don't date in public places.

Not today, beautiful.

I felt my cheeks heat up after reading his text. Half kilig, half inis.

Hmm..

Tutunganga nalang ako dito kasama ang boyfriend ni Lyra. Asan na ba kasi yung mga yun?

Tinext ko sila na dito magkikita pero hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin sila.

I look at my wrist watch. It's nearing twelve and I can literlly smell food coming from the school's cafeteria. Good Lord, sana lang di mag-ingay 'tong tiyan ko.

"Can I uhm, ano, go first?" Di mapakaling paalam ko kay Winston.

"Then, I'll go with you." He said, standing up.

"Ay naku, wag na! Uhm, baka kasi maya-maya lang ay bumalik sila. Eh di, sinong aabutan nila kung walang tao dito?" I explained as calmly as I can.

His brows knitted in confusion, I took that moment to momentarily capture his face. Memorizing the color of his hair and how it's styled effortlessly. His thick brows down to his mesmerizing and enchanting eyes. To his manly pointed nose and down to his alluring lips. Shoot. Parang nagkasala ako saglit.

"I'll text them then." Desisyon nito. Aangal pa sana ako kaso inunahan na niya ako by gripping my hand and gently dragging me towards the cafeteria.

No, please. Not like this God. I don't want to be close with Winston. Not now. Not yet. Definitely not like this.
