"Anong chasing chasing? Lumalapit ka naman e.." Nahihiya ako. Nakayuko. Hindi makatingin sa kanya.

"Maybe I want to be chased.." He says striking me with his words. I couldn't believe my ears, I have this feeling na nadamage sya sa pagsigaw nya kanina kaya kung ano ano na'ng naririnig.

He steps forward and I automatically move toward him. Oo, excited ako.

"..by beautiful women." He continues and yea right. Another one big insult. >_______>

Before I could react, he leans forward and cups my face pulling my head up to him.. Dito talaga..? Aasa na ba ulet ako?

Meeting his eyes, my heart began thumping so loud.. Seriously, dito talaga? Sabagay madilim naman..^_^ For a moment, natagpuan ko ang sarili kong umaasa na naman. Hindi na nadala.

"Do you realy think you're beautiful?" He asks with dignified seriousness and before I know it. He's laughing so hard. Grabe lang bipolar yata sya.

I just stand there. Emotionless. Just watching as his grin widens. -__- Sige pakasaya ka lang.. Mamatay ka sa saya!

Siguro, na-immune na ako na laging napapahiya. Sa pagiging asyumera. Sa totoo lang, sawa na ako sa mga ganitong banat nya pero hindi ko alam kung bakit nabibiktima parin ako. Umaasa.

Pagkalipas ng ilang minutong pagpapakaligaya nakahalata din ang kurimaw. He composes himself and looks at me with apologetic face pero hindi ko alam kung tunay. "Hey, you okay?" He asks but I don't respond.

"It is you who said to look at your face when I'm lonely.. I'm just making use of its purpose."  =_________= Isa pa talaga... Sasabog na sana ako but I notice a shadow of sadness on his face.. in his eyes.. What loneliness is he saying?

I open my mouth to say something but he leans down and kisses me on the forehead. O.O

My jaw drops with my mouth wide-open. Ambilis ng mga pangyayari hindi ko napaghandaan. Tumingala sana ako. Sayang.

"Thank you for making me laugh without saying anything." He says in a  serious tone. =___________= I am momentarily confused whether to feel insulted again or hopeful. This bastard never fails to surprise me.

"What were you saying? You're lonely?" I ask sarcastically. But seriously, he really do look devastated. Okay. Ang OA ko. Medyo devastated lang but it seems like there's something that bothers him. At bakit ngayon ko lang napansin? Siguro sobrang overwhelmed lang ako kanina sa pansamantalang kilig na pinadama nya.

Tumango lang sya. His face dull and somber. "Can I ask you something?"

"You're already asking." I say.

"Let's go outside."

"Ayoko. Gusto kong maexperience yung square dance.." With you...

"Please.." He pleads.

"No. Later na lang." Sayang naman ang moment. Sayang ang square dance. Baka kasi romantic yon e pagkakataon ko na.

"Pleease. I can't repress what I feel anymore even for a minute. I have to let this out. I'm gonna blow up.." He says in a serious tone that has my mind boggled.

Anong pinagsasabi nito? Anong kailangan nyang ilabas? May confession bang magaganap? Tama naman ang narinig ko diba? Hindi na ako nagaasume lang cuz he stated it. Loud and clear..

"Tara na!" Hinigit ko na sya bago pa magbago ang isip. Matauhan.

"Ladies ang gentlemen please be ready for the most awaited Square Dance."
