"This?" I asked Migo. I'm pointing to a simple hoodie that I saw in the mall. Well, he doesn't like seeing me wearing hoodies.
He sighed and looked at the hoodie, "It's nice but you know that I don't like seeing you wearing hoodies. I'm getting paranoid with you wearing one."
"I've been clean for almost two months now," I pouted. He's scared of me harming myself again and hiding myself under hoodies.
I stopped almost two months ago but still, he wouldn't let me wear one. Migo is still scared for me. I always give him aasurance that I won't do it again, ever, but he still doesn't believe my words.
"Yeah right. Remember last time? You're clean for five months but you still managed to break your record. So stop being stubborn. Wear anything you want except for hoodies or sweaters or clothes that can cover those arms." I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.
Migo is getting irritated at me so I stopped forcing him for that hoodie. I ran out of of hoodies becuase Migo confiscated all of them telling me that if that's the only way for him to see if I did something, he would. It's either he's the one who's going to put them on me or nothing.
Everything was situation based. That is just my way of coping up.
We went to a pizza place since both of us had been craving creamy spinach pizza for a month now. We manage to hangout after weeks of being flooded with acad stuff. Small dates are our way to cope up with each others' lives.
Migo and I have been dating for exactly a year now. That's why the both of us decided to clear tasks for this day for us to hang out.
Migo and I planned on spending time at home but we always end up laying down at bed and just sleep or watch movies so the both of us decided to at least go to the mall to at least stretch our legs up.
We would probably go to the arcade after this. I don't really like the arcade pero I am trying to because he loves arcades. I like the bookstores more.
"Iced tea for you?" he asked me while he was ordering and I just nodded as response.
I looked for a vacant tavle while he's ordering.. It didn't give me a hard time finding one since there are only a few people at the place. I chose the table beside the glass wall.
I just distracted myself by looking outside. The place is pretty. The mall has this nature vibe. I love the ambiance so much.
I shouldn't be thinking of 'that' person but manage to still do. It feels wrong.
Well, he always does come in my mind. Knowing that him exists and everything, it doesn't hurt anymore. I have moved on even before I had Migo.
I'm happy by just having Migo. I love him. I'm sure of him.
It is just natural that he will come out of my mind. Of course, he somehow became a part of my life. A thought of being concerned as someone that was once special though.
"Kali," I look at him and follow as he sits in front of me, "What are those runners in your mind doing?" he asked me in a soft way.
He always does. He's the best I have.
I shrugged, "Nothing. I just like the view outside. My type."
"You already came here a lot of times, babe."
I did. I love it here. Especially their bookstore here. They even have a library there to stay at whenever you want to read the book as soon as you buy it. They also have many choices of books.
I ignored him and lstarted to drool over the smell and serving of the food that just been served at our table.
He handed me a plate and I received it slightly smiling. Migo is looking at me with one eyebrow raised like he never saw me this excited with food.
Migo gave me a slice of pizza and I wanted him to have his before digging in. Yum.
"You look like a hungry kid eating," I glared at him while the pizza was in my mouth, "Really, babe?"
Again, I ignored him and continued eating. He even ordered chicken for us pero I want the pizza more. Favorite ko 'to e.
"Don't rush," he wipped the cream that is on the side of my lip with a tissue, "Slow down."
"I'll eat a lot if I want to!"
Migo just laughed at my reaction and continued eating.
We enjoyed talking while eating. Both of us talked about various topics academically or not. After a long season of stress, I finally had the chance to talk to him about how everyday is for me. I'm not that talkative with others but with him, I am. Hidden sides showing up with him only.
Migo and I decided to head to the arcade after minutes of resting from eating. He likes being in arcades because of the claw machines. He plays and gives me what he won. He doesn't know that I don't like stuffed toys but I started accepting things like those from him. I put it in my bed though.
As expected, after buying tokens, sa claw machines siya dumeretso. He's good at it. I don't mind waiting for him to finish all of his coins and wait for the tons of stuffed toys he's going to give. I would just wait for him by scrolling through my phone.
I alreasy predicted that this will take him a lot of minutes before finishing but okay. As I said, I don't like being in an arcade. I have nothing interested in to do here.
While I was scrolling through my phone, suddenly, a message of an unknown number popped up.
Unknown
Does he know that you don't like the arcade?
My forehead creased and my eyes started roaming around the arcade to look for someone I know but there's no one I know here.
It gives me the creeps but I just ignored the message. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Migo might have noticed me with a paper like face that's why he approached me in a concerned manner.
"Is there someone bothering you?" he asked softly. I know I'm safe.
"No," I lied, "Something just flew to my face and I'm trying to look for it."
TMigo looked at me woreied but I smiled at him showing that everything's okay and he just gave me a bear and a bee stuffed toy that he just got, "Here. Yeah! I know you have aa lot of stuff toys from me but of course it's from me! You can't resist that!"
"What the?" I scoffed while staring at him with wide eyes.
Migo just laughed at me teasingly when he knows that I hate being teased.I don't like being teased!
"Let's go, Ki!" He teasingly told me but I stopped.
Ki...
"Why?"
I looked at him smiling a little and shook my head, "I'm pissed," and I started running out of the arcade first.
I slowed down when my phone received a notification. Still from the same number. Still an unknown number.
Unknown
Does he also know that you don't like stuffed toys because it occupies a lot of space in your room?
And again, my forehead creased as another notification popped again from the same user.
Unknown
You seem happy with him, baby. Am I too late to forgive and make things right like you wanted to?
