Babala: Typographical/Grammatical Errors Ahead.
Hestee's POV.
Paskuhan namin mamaya sa UST, and I'm feeling mixed emotions. I'm exited, happy, sad, and the most dominant feeling of me now, as in ever, I'M NERVOUS. WWAAAHH.
I'm planning to tell kasi kay Lix na may crush ako sakanya. Sheesh, simple crush, harmless lang naman Hestee. Bat ba kase ako kinakabahan? Hays, maganda ka Hestee, kaya mo yan. Hingang malalim.
(deep sigh)
Hayan, kalmado kana. Then I smiled. Okay. I'm really gonna do it later! I should look extra pretty, choose my dress carefully, have my make up done well. Then we'll dance while Araw-Araw by Ben and Ben is playing, and when its almost the chorus, I'll confess. Woohoo, kaya ko to, kaya ko to, fighting, tama, kaya, gora.

Nakapasok na kami ni Lix sa UST, it's his maybe sixth or seventh time having a paskuhan? But the first time bringing a date, I feel so special in being his first. Ah, the butterflies in my stomach.
We ate food naman na before going here kaya we just bought water nalang incase, while waiting.
Currently playing: Pagtingin.
"Ah, one of my faves." I shared to have some topic on us naman. The silence is killing me, i'm a madaldal person kase.
"Me too," he chuckled.
BUT OKAY. HE CHUCKLED. HOW. THE. HELL. DOES. HIS. CHUCKLE. SOUND. SO. SEXY. HSHSHS.
I blushed. I tried to hide it, and successful naman siya kasi medyo madilim na.
"Really?" tanong ko after calming down.
"Mhm." shiz, ang gwapo talaga.
"Do you love other Ben&Ben songs din?" tanong ko.
"Yep, their music is soothing." he replied.
"Great taste," I said as a matter of fact. I mean, Ben&Ben is just purely magical and their songs men, argh.
"Great taste white caramel na may sweet linamnam. Haha," HE. FREAKING. PULLED. A. JOKE. OUT. AND. LAUGHED. SEXILY.
"I think I just died," I unconsiously said.
"What?" si Lix.
"I think I just died because of how sexy your voice is." ulit ko pa, hindi paren makamove on mula kanina.
"Haha. You're really funny, Hestee," he pinched my nose.
W-what? Omygosh. I just embarrased myself. And he pinched my nose. WAHHHHHH. I know I'm blushing madly when he laughed again and said I'm cute being flustered. Okay, I'm totally dead. hshshs.
We talked about his music genre, our UST experience, what our interests are, tsaka mga adventures nadin.
Truth be told, he was fun to talk with. Not because I like him but because of his witty and funny remarks. We agreed on so much things, halos same din kami ng opinions. I had a great time talaga.
Nagpatuloy ang kwentuhan namin ni Lix, nagorder rin kami ng foods nung nagutom ako.
"Bat ba? Food is life kaya," sabay irap sakanya.
"Okay okay, treat kita ulit. Pasalamat ka kyut ka." binulong niya yung last part. Hindi ko masyadong nadinig.
Umiling siya, "Wala. Lika na, libre ulit kita. But last na ha? Malapit nang mag-12 at isasayaw na kita."
Kinindatan niya ako pagkatapos non. Okay Lord mahal na mahal kita, at opo yes po, salamat po dahil may paskuhan kami dito.
Hshshs. I followed Lix nalang instead of having heebie-jeebies all over again.

Tumutugtog na ang Araw-araw. Aamin nako. Malapit na ang countdown. Bigla kong nakalimutan ang mundo at ang mga taong nagsasayaw at ibang mga students na hinihintay ang countdown. Siksikan kami dito dahil sa dami ng partners but we held each other tight, na para bang mawawala kami kung binitawan namin ang isa't-isa.
Nagslow dance lang kami while hugging here. We danced to the desires of our hearts, we swayed, swinging to the beat, smiling throughout.
Mahiwaga, pipiliin ka, sa araw araw
And when those lyrics were said, I didn't give a damn about my embarrasment, and said the words I wanted to say the most at that time, at that exact place.
"Mahiwaga, gusto kita. Pipiliin kita, araw araw." I said, slowly.
He looked like he wanted to say something or to reply but inunahan ko na siya, I don't want rejection right now.
"Mahiwaga, ang nadarama ko para sayo. I like you, Lix." and after that I hugged him tighter, too shy to face him after that.
He wanted to say something, I can tell. Pero niyakap niya lang ako pabalik.
Payapa, sa yakap ng iyong hiwaga.
The irony, how this song fits so well with what I feel for him and what we're doing.
Mahiwaga, wag nang mawala, sa araw araw, ooh,
Mahiwaga, pipiliin ka ka sa araw-araw.
And after that, fireworks.
"Please. Don't say anything. No comments about my uh - confession, please. Let me treasure this memory. Kahit na bukas mo na ako sagutin o ano. I don't want to feel happy or disappointed or anything with your answer. I like what I'm feeling ngayon. Wag mo munang dagdagan ang iisipin ko mamayang gabi, baka di ako makatulog Lix. Haha." mahaba kong saad. Hindi alintana ang iba na busy sa pagseselebra. The hell I care kung kami lang dalawa ang natira dito. I like being here, at this time.
"Let me just cherish this feeling for tonight. Bukas, o sa susunod ko na haharapin ang reality. I like you Lix. I really do."
And with that, I hugged him again, tighter than ever. Washing my worries and what-nots away.
With the full moon, we danced. With or without music, with or without audience.
THE END.
