Chapter 6: I felt home.

Chapter 6 

                I was in the park and I never thought I would saw you there. Kita ko kung paano ka pinagtitinginan ng mga tao. Mostly girls. I can't blame them though. You are really a head turner. Kahit naka itim na t-shirt and khaki shorts ka lang at kahit hindi ka ngumingiti. 

Kumabog ang dibdib ko nong lumapit at umupo ka sa tabi ko. And you smelled so good, too. 

"What's up... Anong ginagawa mo dito?" You asked. The distance between us made me blushed. You are 8 inches away from me so I moved back and you noticed. "Oh please stay..." 

I flashed my sweetest smile "I'm not leaving. You are just...so close to me." I looked away and I felt my cheeks turned to red again. You chuckled. Oh god!

"It was an honor" You murmured. I bit my lower lip, still can't look at you in the eyes.

"Just chillin'. Wala akong magawa sa bahay eh." I said, changing the topic. "Ikaw?" I added.

"Nakita kita eh." You answered while looking at me directly. Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil naiilang ako sa mga titig mo. Para akong lumulutang sa tuwing tumitig ka ng ganoon.

"Hey... Move here. Naiinitan kana o." You ordered. I looked around and you are right.  Kalahati na ng katawan ko ang natatamaan ng araw. 

"You want me to leave, so you---" I cut you off and shook my head no. 

I sat beside you again. We are both leaning back in the tree. My shoulder is touching your shoulder and it gave me chill. Your eyes are close, so I took the advantage of it. 

I startled nang bigla kang gumalaw.

I quickly diverted my gaze, afraid you might found out that I was staring at you.

My body stiffened when you leaned your head unto my shoulders. 

"J-jacob---" I was about to asked you but...
"Shh" You whispered.
"Sungit." I mumbled and it made you laughed. "I am not." You whispered again, and it made me tickled. I can feel your warm breath on my neck.  Oh.

I put my hand on my chest. Damn heart, it was beating so fast.

Too many questions inside my head. Too many questions I wanted to asked you but I don't have the gut, bahala na. Sa ngayon gusto ko lang sulitin ang araw na to, not minding the noises around us, not minding the people stares, not minding the thought that you had a girlfriend. Just you and me. Wala nang iba pa.

I sighed. Ang tanging hiling ko na lang ay tumigil ang oras. I couldn't asked for more. 'Cause in that moment...for the first time, I felt--- home.
