"Uuwi na 'ko."
Tumayo ako at naglakad na palabas ng Coffee Project. Pero, humabol si Caeleb. He held my wrist and I faced him.
"Hindi mo ba mahal mga kaibigan mo, for you to refuse their offer?" He looked at me, parang naghahamon.
"What offer?" My brows met.
"Their offer to date me." Sabi niya at binitawan niya ang pala-pulsuhan ko.
"Let me think about it. Bye." Sabi ko atsaka umalis na.
I walked from that coffee shop to my condo again. It was tiring, my legs are shaking. Pag dating ko ng condo, tsaka naman bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Good thing, nakauwi na 'ko. Bumalik ako sa pag tulog dahil inantok ako bigla. The weather today is cuddle weather, kaso wala namang ka-cuddle. When I woke up, It's still raining.
"Shit, bad timing." Bulong ko sa sarili ko habang kinakapa ko ang cellphone sa kama ko. Nag brownout!
Should I crash on Caeleb's condo? Should I? Okay, no choice. Gusto ko rin naman, baka may kuryente don, para na rin makalibre. I opened my flashlight and get my wallet before leaving. I also wear my hoodie para hindi masyado mabasa, I also have my umbrella naman.
"Cae?" I knocked. I twisted the doorknob and It was open. I just entered his unit. "Why did you not lock the door?" I asked.
"I know that you're coming." Simpleng sabi niya habang nakatingin sa phone niya. "Just lock it now. You're here already."
"I'll just stay here until tomorrow morning. Walang kuryente sa condo ko. Wag ka mag assume." I rolled my eyes and I sat down on the couch.
"Marupok ka lang talaga kaya ka nandito ngayon," He smirked. "I'll take it as a yes."
"Yes? What?" Tumaas ang kilay ko.
"I'll let you stay here. So, that's your answer for my question awhile ago?" He puts down his phone and looked at me seriously.
"The date thing?" My brows met. This guy is getting into my nerves! Gosh!
"Yes. I mean, It's not really dating. You know, our thing." He waved his brows.
Sinusubukan ko namang hindi rumupok. Kaso, iba talaga ang impact niya sakin. I don't know why. Maybe on his physical appearance, his intelligence, mindset? I really don't know. Para akong na love at first sight.
"Let me think about it first. Good night," Sabi ko at humiga na sa couch.
"You go inside my room. Sleep there. My sala is not a place for sleeping." He pointed the door of his room. "Go,"
