The week after the week-off went on but it didn't go well.
The devil's ignoring me.
That's why. Kaasar nga e. Snobber sya. As in! Laging tipid magsalita, bihira pa. Tanungin mo naman, k or nah ang sagot o kaya naman, tango o iling. Hindi nya pa ako tinitingnan sa mata. Kaya nga inis na inis na ako. Nawawalan din ako ng gana sa pagtatrabaho. Ewan, hindi ko alam basta't hindi ako okay hangga't hindi kami okay ni Davon.
Argh! Ako na ang magfi-first move. Grabe sa word choice 'no?
"Davon?" I called him. It's 11:00 in the morning. He turned his face to me but his gaze never escapes whatever he's reading. "May problema ba tayo?" tanong ko. His eyebrows furrowed right after I mentioned the tayo.
Napangiwi ako bigla. Alam ko na isasagot nito.
He immediately turned his gaze to me, my stomach became filled with butterflies in an instant. It's the first time this week! "Nah." sagot nya saka binaling ulit ang paningin sa binabasa.
Told you so.
Napatingin ako sa binabasa nya. It's a newspaper. But it's... upside down?
I chuckled at that. "Davon, come on." inilipat ko ang kinauupuan sa harap ng desk nya. "Please talk to me. Please? Look, if you don't wanna talk about Marcus," he sighed heavily while clenching his jaw. "then fine. We won't. But talk to me." I said and pouted. Sinadya ko yan.
His gaze flew to my lips so I pouted even more. "Damn, stop pouting now." aniya kaya natawa ako. Pero napawi ang ngiti ko nang may maalala.
"Damn it. Please stop pouting now." I remembered Marcus.
"Hey, you okay?" si Davon. Tumango naman ako agad. "Look, I'm sorry for not talking to you. It's just that, we're very busy, right?" he said in a soft voice.
"But still, that's bad, Davon. You haven't talked to me for one whole week! Being too busy isn't an excuse, well, I understand that you are dedicated to your work, but please stop. You're making me look like a fool begging for your attention!" hindi ko napigilan ang mga luha'ng mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong nagsi-tuluan.
Yumuko naman si Davon saka bumuntong hininga. Tumayo sya kaya ako naman ang napayuko. The next thing I knew, he's using his thumb to wipe my tears while looking at me guiltily. He held my chin and my eyes met his'. "Hey, I'm sorry." I diverted my gaze away. His voice screams softness and I can't take it anymore. "What can I do to make it up to you?" he asked. Napaisip naman ako.
"T-talk to me." I stuttered as I spoke. Ano ba yan!
He smiled at me. "Gladly. I'm sorry again." he said. Buti naman kung ganon, 'no? Napatango ako as a sign that his apology is accepted. He smiled once again and kissed me softly.
Oh how I missed his kisses!
Lumayo sya at napahabol naman ako nang kaunti kaya natawa sya. "Ikaw ha? Natututo ka na nyan." natatawang sabi nya kaya itinulak ko sya saka tumayo. Nang makalapit ako sa desk ko ay hinawakan nya pa ang palapulsuhan ko.
"Ano ba?" tanong ko.
"Your chair?" he said while giving me a confused look.
Akala ko pa naman kung mangyayakap sya.
Kinuha ko ang upuan ko at akmang lalakad na sana nang hilahin nya nanaman ang palapulsuhan ko. "Ano b-" hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nang niyakap ako ni Davon nang mahigpit. Napangiti tuloy ako.
"Let's have a date." sabi nya. His voice is kind of muffled for his face is right next to my neck. I felt goosebumps right after he said that. Well, blame him and his damn-so-husky voice!
"Fine." sabi ko habang nakangiti.
Kumalas sa yakap si Davon saka tumingin sakin. "Talaga? Payag ka?" tanong nya.
"Oo nga." sabi ko saka hinila ang upuan ko papunta sa may desk ko. Ganon talaga.
Napatingin ako kay Davon. "I'll go get our food." aniya saka ngumiti bago lumabas ng office. In-open ko muna ang Instagram ko sa laptop at napatakip ako ng bibig nang makita ang post ni Zach, ang kaibigan ni Davon.
Picture ng dalawang kamay na magkahawak. "I can't wait to make more memories with you." Sabi sa caption. Agad kong minessage si Keana dahil don.
Keanaaaa_
"Hey. Look at Zach's post, now na." I said.
"Huh?" oh she's confused!
"Girl, may kaholding hands sya!" I was furious!
"Yeah, I know." huh? Ako naman ang napa huh.
"That's me." oh.
Literal na napahawak ako ulit sa bibig ko. Nagtitili ako sa saya. Grabe, wait. Sila na kaya?
Keanaaaa_
"That's me."
"Kayo na?"
Daya! Kakambal ako pero di ako updated!
"Oo na e :> "
Nagtitili akong muli dahil sa sinabi nya. Ewan pero trip ko tumili e, bat ba? Hayaan na kung nagmumukha akong high school student sa pinaggagagawa ko.
Bumukas ang pinto kaya natigil ako sa pagtili. "Hey, what happened?" bungad ni Davon habang dala ang dalawang styrofoam na lalagyan. "You okay?" tanong nya pa.
Tumango tango naman ako sakanyya kaya napailing-iling sya sakin. In-off ko muna ang laptop at nagsimula na nga kaming kumain. Rice with chicken fillet nga pala ang laman ng styrofoam na lalagyan. Para ngang McDo eh. McDo nalang sana nilagay sa entrance ng cafeteria sa baba.
Nang matapos ako sa kinakain ay namalayan kong tapos na pala si Davon at matiim syang nakatitig saakin. "Why are you smiling earlier?" tanong nya. Mausisa talaga 'to eh. Edi go.
"Wala lang. Ikaw ah? Di mo sinabi sakin na nagkausap na pala sina Keana at Zach." sabi ko. Sya kasi, hindi namamansin, hindi ko tuloy nalaman nang maaga.
"Sorry for that. I guess Zach sorted things out now. Good thing he's into your sister now. He's half-Turkish. Hindi lugi ang kapatid mo," aniya saka ngumisi.
Napakunot tuloy ang noo ko. What is he talking about?
"Ang pinagtataka ko lang, hindi ko rin 'to natanong kay Keana eh. Niligawan pa ba sya o-"
"Hindi na." putol sakin ni Davon. What? He didn't court my sister? Well, I can't bother them for that matter. Sila naman ang masaya. "Sigurado na si Zach sakanya. Besides, we're friends. It's either manliligaw kami without consents or magiging girlfriend nam- ko ang babae. Boyfriend dati kay Zach. But now, just look at them. They're inlove with each other so let's not bother them." sabi nya. Napaisip tuloy ako. Kailan kaya ako liligawan nito?
"If you're asking yourself when will I court you, stop it. I have no plans of courting you, this time, I would no-" he cleared his throat and my eyebrows furrowed. "You are my girlfriend, starting," he looked at his phone, it shows;
12:56 p.m.
October 28
I was taken aback when I realized what he means. "Now." he said and smirked as I looked at him. "You are my girlfriend now, Selena. You're mine now. And I'm all yours. Now excuse me." he said then went out of the room while I was left dumbfounded.
You can't blame me! I'm shocked by that.
But I found myself smiling when I remembered his words.
"You are my girlfriend now, Selena. You're mine now. And I'm all yours."
I sighed while still smiling. I'm his girlfriend now!
