WACKS
Bulaga—
YLA
'Di mo 'ko magugulat.
WACKS
Haha.
WACKS
Tara, lunch na tayo.
YLA
'Di ka pa kumakain?
WACKS
Hindi pa.
Wala kang kasabay e.
WACKS
Miss shy type.
WACKS (CONT'D)
Okay ka lang?
YLA
Oo.
Wacks stops in his tracks and gives her a pout.
WACKS
Sinungaling.
YLA
Oo nga—
WACKS
Pagang-paga mata mo, oh.
YLA
Haha. Halata ba?
WACKS
'Lam mo, puwede mo namang sabihin
sa 'kin kung 'di ka okay e.
WACKS
Akala ko ba friends tayo?
WACKS
Dapat kung 'di ka okay, 'di ka nahihiya
na magsabi sa 'kin.
Friends nga tayo e, 'di ba?
WACKS
Makikinig naman ako kahit ano pa
'yang problema mo e.
YLA
Seryoso mo. Haha.
WACKS
Totoo 'yang sinasabi ko.
Hindi ako nagbibiro, miss shy type.
YLA
Hahaha.
WACKS
Ano kayang nakakatawa du'n?
YLA
Wala.
'Yung mukha mo kasi.
WACKS
Ano?
Nadi-distract ka na naman sa kagwapuhan
ko?
Yla rolls her eyes.
WACKS
Kayla.
Yla freezes in her tracks before swallowing hard. This is the first time she has heard him calling her with her first name, and she didn't know why it feels so oddly nice to hear it from him.
And she didn't want to admit it, but it is as if her name is made for him to say over and over again.
YLA
. . . Bakit?
WACKS
Kapag malungkot ka, nalulungkot
din ako.
YLA
Ang drama mo.
WACKS
Seryoso nga kase.
Yla heaves a sigh, forces a smile, and grabs his wrist.
YLA
Tama na 'yan. Gutom na 'ko.
WACKS
Miss shy type.
YLA
Ano? Haha.
YLA
Okay lang nga ako.
He pouts.
WACKS
Sure . . . ?
Yla gives him an assuring smile.
And Wacks had no choice but bits his lower lip and lets her grab him because god , he truly loves it when he can feel her warmth on his skin.
