Soiree's POV
"Should we get that one instead?" Savi said pointing at the Gold Opyum YSL. I agree, this one looks better. More chick yet simple.
I nodded while scanning the Silver version beside it. "I agree, I'll also buy the Silver one..for Gio." I smiled remembering him. These past few days has been though, to be honest i feel slightly guitly by slighlty distancing myself from him.
"Naks, in love ah!" Savi jokingly said. Napatingin kaming pareho kay Eli na ngayon ay parang hindi mapakali. She even dropped her to-be-purchased things on the ground.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin. 'Please prove me wrong, Eleanor.'
"Nakabili ka?" Gio asked while taking the bags from me. I nodded secretly stealing glances at my friend who's now, for some reason is keeping her silence.
Napatingin naman ako kay Gio pagtapos na hawak-hawak ang mga bags ko at abala sa pag-gala ng mata sa paligid.
I shook my head abolishing the bad thoughts.
"Monay ayaw mo ba ng sea foods?" tanong ni Gio na siyang pumukaw sa atensyon ko. I didn't even noticed i'm already spacing out.
"No l-lilove..it's just..the crabs." Dinahilan ko na lang.

"Woah, look at that!" Sigaw ni Savi when the big Calamari is finally served. Ice specifically picked this because he said it's their (Gio) favorite so.
Dumating na rin ang iba pa..huli ang hipon na paborito ko.
"You want shrimp?" Tanong ni Gio habang nilalagyan ng rice ang plate ko. Napatingin ako sa mga kasama naming nang-aasar ang ngiti.
But hers looks so different. Parang fake.
I'll insist to take care of myself na sana, but since i can feel someone's watching how Gio is treating me.
I feel the urge to show her what she wants to see.
"Yes, lilove." I said. Pinagbalat niya ako ng shrimp while i'm continously feeding him with it too.
"Another one." I shoved on his mouth, he shook his head and uttered me to take it instead. "Please, i'm full na eh." I said pouting.
Umiling na lang ito at ngumiti bago buksan ang bibig niya upang kunin ang binibigay ko.
W-why...does she look so hurt..
I took the wipes from my bag at agad na nagpunas ng kamay, Gio was about to get one but i insisted. I wiped his hands for him instead, including his mouth and his cheeks.
"Are you guys..a thing already? Like together ganon kasi gosh naninibago ako." Savi suddenly asked.
I felt the heat rushing through my cheeks, napatingin ako kay Gio na mukhang ganon rin.
"Are you really the Gio from Mathematics Dept na hinahabol ni Sua?" dagdag ni Savi at napaubo naman ako.
"Careful li--monay." bulong ni Gio while carresing my back.
Naalala ko na naman tuloy yung confession niya the last night, he said he loves me.
Kaya ramdam ko ang paghihintay ng sagot mula sa'kin, he's giving me the rights to answer on our behalf.
He's waiting..
Pero mukhang hindi lang siya ang naghihintay..
Anong gusto mong marinig, Eli?
I forced a smile at them. "We're just happy right 'lilove?'
I answered emphasizing the word 'lilove" habang inaantay ang magiging reaction niya.
Boom.
Mukhang hindi ako mali.
