Chapter 12 - Cee

It was really cute hearing Chris mumbling earlier. I could tell that he was a bit nervous for our breakfast and I knew I had to break the ice so I just joked about it. I wanted to ask him why he was nervous but I am not yet prepared for what he might answer. I am still not sure about his feelings for me and I wanted to take my time since we've known each other since yesterday. I don't want things to pass by like a blur and I want to get to know him more before anything else happens.

Breakfast was indeed very good. He cooked all of my favorite breakfast food and I had to admit that I was feeling a bit full afterwards. We talked all throughout and again Chris mentioned about me singing. I just smiled and didn't answer him because I might say yes to him letting me sing. I don't know but there's something in Chris that makes me wanna give in.

After eating, Chris asked me if I had anything planned today and I told him there wasn't anything lined up so he asked me if I wanted to go with him somewhere. I said yes and I am now here in my room trying to figure out what to wear since he didn't give me any idea where we will be going. All he said was that it's going to be an adventure so maybe I need to avoid dresses or skirts. I decided to wear shorts and my favorite white off-shoulder top and brown sandals.

I've always been a fan of flats and sneakers because I feel so comfortable wearing them

I've always been a fan of flats and sneakers because I feel so comfortable wearing them. Bran used to tease me that I might be a lesbian but I told him that I'm not. I just like to wear simple stuff and wear less makeup. I decided to wear a bit of mascara and lip tint to give a little color to my face. I decided to make a side braid for my natural curls and applied a small amount of my favorite perfume. I then gave myself one final look in the mirror before going out and I liked what I saw. Hopefully Chris would like it too.

When I came down the stairs, I caught Chris looking at me and I smiled. I think he liked what he saw because he stared at me and smiled. He was wearing a white v-neck shirt and ripped jeans with white sneakers.

He looked kinda hot and I secretly smiled because we wore matching colors again

He looked kinda hot and I secretly smiled because we wore matching colors again. God! These signs are making me crazy.

I then asked him where we will be going and he just said that its a secret. I am quite anxious because I hate surprises but I didn't say anything. He then told me that he already texted Bran about our plans and that I need to trust him because he assured me that we would have a blast today. I just smiled and helped him carry some of the stuff towards the car. And like a perfect gentleman, he once again opened the car door for me. He smiled when he saw me blush.

When we got in the car, he asked me if I am afraid of heights and I told him that I am. He then assured me that he won't let anything bad happen to me and that I don't need to be scared. My anxiety levels spiked when he told me that because I am pretty sure that we are going somewhere high and I am really scared of heights but I guess that he will stay true to his word when he said that he won't let anything bad happen to me. I was clutching the car sear pretty hard when he noticed it and what he did next gave me butterflies in my stomach. He softly touched my hand and held it and assured me that he will always keep me safe. I blushed a deep crimson and then he held on to my hand all throughout the car ride. I didn't know what to do. Should I let him hold my hand? or should I get it back. I decided to go with the first one and acted like everything's cool.

He let go of my hand when he turned on the radio and played his playlist. His song choice was really nice and we talked on the way. Nobody mentioned the "hand-holding" incident earlier and I was quite relieved because I wouldn't know how to react to that. I was taken a back when this Fergie song played because I didn't expect this song to be in his playlist but I didn't say anything. He was really cute because while the song was playing, he was humming and he kept making side glances towards me when the "clumsy coz I'm falling in love" part of the song would play. I don't know if I was just imagining it but maybe he is trying to tell me something through the song. I just smiled and nodded my head to the beat.

After the song ended, Chris then asked me what my favorite song was and then I told him that it was "If you've ever been in love" by Intrigue. He said that he has never heard of the song but maybe he'll check it out later when we get back. He then asked me about Cebu so I told him all the great places that I have been to and he even said that maybe in the future we could go there and I'll be his tour guide. I then told him that I look forward to it. We talked the rest of the way and all my fears and anxiety disappeared and were replaced with feelings of anticipation for our day.
