Just by reading between that line... Ewan ko ba. I want to scream and say, YESSSS!!! But that's just crazy. And, I should think first, right?
"Uh. What?" I asked as if I heard nothing.
He chuckled and tapped my head, "Never mind."
"What?"
"Never mind. I was just kidding."
Why are you kidding me?
Pero nung sinabi mo yun, I really felt happy. I just wanted you to repeat it naman ah. May masama ba dun? I Guess I was carried away by his stupid jokes.
"Alam mo ba..."
"Hindi ko pa alam," I said in a very sarcastic tone.
"May kulang sa muka mo."
"Oh? Pwede na kaya 'to. Kapal na nga ng make up eh."
"Nah. Not that."
"No. Pwede na nga 'to eh."
"Eh? Ang kulang sayo... Hmm..."
"Ano?!"
"Smile," he grinned.
Tae. Napa-smile naman ang lola niyo. Kinikilig na nga ako oh. Pa-hard to get lang talaga ako. Pero, it's the right thing naman eh. Kaso ang pangit tignan. Pwek.
Sumakay na kami sa van. Kris sat beside me. I want to sit in front, kaso... My body tells me not to. Galing no? Mind versus the body.
I think I'm already taking this seriously. I am slowly falling for this guy. I just hope he's the right one. Because I don't want to get hurt... again.
"Hey, put this on your ear," he handed me the earphone and I placed it on in response.
"What song?"
"Makinig ka nalang," he grinned and put the iPOD down.
[i]Now Playing: Wait For You - Elliot Yamin[/i]
I glanced at him, and he did the same. His deep brown eyes were somehow telling me something. I don't know. I suddenly felt nervous that's why I looked away and just listened to the Elliot Yamin's song.
He held my hand very tightly right before the last sentence was sung, [i]I'll be waiting..[/i]. I saw him looking at the window wearing that very smooth smile on his face. He caught me looking at him... And then he suddenly winked... for no actual reason.

It wasn't that long when we arrived at the Montolla mansion. I can say na it has been 'ages', to be sarcastic, since I last stepped on the Montolla grounds. Nakita ko naman agad yung mga relatives ko na galing pa talaga ng western countries.
Bumaba na sina Manong, si Mama, tsaka ang ever-tabachoy kong brother na si Biboy. Then Kris guided me. Ayee. Kilig ang lola niyo, to death.
"Hey. Pst!" He narrowed his eyebrows while whispering at me.
"O? Ano ba?"
"Your mom told me that you should hold my right arm for us to look 'oh-so-decent'," he said with my mother's irritating tone.
Earth to Kris? Are you for real? "Err..."
"Hey! I'm serious."
And yes, he was definitely serious about it. Ewan ko ba, I found myself gasping for air, not literally, while holding Kris' arm. Siguro hindi lang talaga ako comfortable sa mga scenario na ganito. Kasi naman?! Bakit may pa-decent effect pa si mama. Like who the crap cares about our damn entrance.
I felt kind of awkward when we started walking. My grandparents kept on staring at us. But still, just by holding his arm, I felt confident and optimistic. You all know what I mean naman, right?
When we got inside, umupo na kami sa assigned table namin. Then I caught Ate Danica and Ann chatting or whatever. Tapos both of them went up to me. Obvious naman kasi na I'm so dying to talk with them, diba?
Gumana naman yung boyish side ni Ann and binola-bola na ako, "Ganda natin ah!"
"Oo nga. And... He... escorted you. Damn! Envy, envy, envy!"
"Nah. Whatever. What's up anyway?"
"Well, our beloved Auntie Sol arrived from Italy... They consider it a very special event since she left 15 years ago."
"Unfortunately, bukas na alis niya. Don't you just find it weird?"
"Oh," I nodded, "By the way, thanks sa beer."
I glanced at Kris who suddenly cleched his jaws when I said the 'beer' word. Oops.
"Sure sure. No problem! Boy crazy."
"Yeah right. How's your lovey-dovey life pala, Ate Clariane? You look... Contented."
"I don't know," I whispered, "I think... I'm falling for him!"
"That's just right, girl. You're taking the very righteous path of life."
Okay. Epistaxis ah. Peor seriously, tama ba 'to? I'm falling for a stranger whose memories are all temporarily erased. Well yeah, TEMPORARILY.
"I really don't know," I shook my head and frowned.
"Gee. Let it flow," Ann tapped my back, "Love is patient. Maybe, he's the right one na."
"I guess," I pathetically agreed naman.
"Riiiight," Ate Danica turned around and her eyes suddenly buldged out.
"What the hell is that big fat bitch doing here?!"
"Yeah, I wonder."
I got curious so I looked up... Holy crap. "B... Bianca?!"
"Just look at her. I feel like strangling her now."
"Can I just imitate you?!"
"Sure!"
And so I did, "What the hell is that big fat freaking bitch doing here?!"
"I think she's a family friend of Auntie Sol."
Darn. I guess that's the reason why I saw her in that same shop. Taena. I hate it, big time. Hindi ko alam na marami pala kaming connections. For earth's sake, throw her away.
Bago pa kami makita ni Bianca, hinatak ko na si Kris. Ewan ko ba. Everytime na nakikita ko siya, wala na akong gustong gawin kung hindi ihatak si Kris palayo.
"O, may omelette," At tinuro ko naman yung omelette.
I saw Bianca with her 'plastic alalays' na palapit sa amin. Please naman. Give us a damn minute.
I immediately held Kris' hand. INTENTIONALLY.
"Hey? W-Why did you just...?"
"Shh!" I hissed and looked away from Bianca.
"Look sisters. This is my friend who wears a poker face, Clariane."
Poker face? Just who does she think she is?
"Excuse me? I'm a pure-blooded Montolla. At ikaw? You're just a stupid family friend. Don't go here and say that. Gee. Such a disrespectful woman. And, don't call me your friend, okay? I was never your friend."
HAHAHA! Beat that, you slut.
She looked upset, pero she managed to bring her pride back, "She's crazy."
Lorena giggled and asked Bianca, "Who's the cute guy?"
"He's my–"
I stepped on Bianca's foot and smiled confidently at them, "He's my fiancee. Isn't he hot?"
