One morning, on my way going to office, I bumped into a
group of good-looking, foreigner guys wearing tuxedo smiling sweetly at me. As
I came closer, the cutest guy asked me, “Hi, we’re going to the Peninsula, how
do we get there?” (I didn’t know I could memorize what he said, word for word!)
Moments of silence fills Ayala Ave.! (haha! Sorry for the exaggerated words.) I found myself staring at his beautiful chinito eyes
and captivating smile. Oh I can’t resist his smile!
My neck couldn’t reach to where his face was then he leaned
forward so we’re face to face. Everything stopped for a moment, and the only thing
that’s in motion is my heart that keeps on beating faster.
Suddenly, the sound of annoying horn from the bus killed the
moment. (Argg! Hate that bus!) Then a whisper from the wind told me, “Ruby, he
was just asking for directions, it’s not as if he’s asking for your number,
duh?!
Later I woke up from daydreaming and gave him directions I’m
quite not sure if right. Good thing I had a lot of English words in my pocket
that has been kept for situations like this. Hahaha! I managed to pull it off
even if he’s charismatic aura intimidates me.
We walked together all the way to the underpass going right
across Peninsula. My thoughts were filled with scenes in a romantic movie… that
we’re walking hand in hand when he’s actually few inches from me. Hehehe! Too much
watching of romantic movies feeds my frustrations I guess. Hehehe!
Going back to reality, he waived at me with countless "thank
you" enclosed with a smile.
