This started out as a mistake, 2 weeks ago  during our breaktime my office bestfriend and I  went out to go buy food  and while we were waiting for it  she suddenly asked me a question:

OBF: Drei sino trip mo sa office?
Me:   si *****

Her eyes lit up in excitement, as if she was expecting that answer, but wasn’t expecting me to answer that fast.   What can I say I like the girl,  but OBF misinterpreted it as something as heavy as love.. or something like that.

The next 14 days our world was colorful.  We were the talk in our division  (and probably the whole office). OBF and other friend were all on us, trying to hook us to each other. Lakad in my vernacular.  I’m not sure as to how she took it. As for me? I was just going with the flow, because to me, there wasn’t really anything.  I was also (and still) considering some important factors like  she was still with her boyfriend back then;  if I was ready for a new relationship  not to mention commitment;  if I was sure of my feelings; we still ain’t that close; and I want to do it my way… blah blah blah.    

But every now and then  I look at her, I stare at her face in admiration.  I listen carefully to everything she says,  I criticize her small mistakes.   I listen to her stories while looking at her eyes.  Then I realize all the more reason why I’m not sure about my emotions towards her.  Also this paragraph is  so cheesy. Am I overselling? No. Everything written in the paragraph is literal.

But then there comes a time when we’re ourselves and only to each other,  in our own litol world,  not caring who sees, who hears.  Our non-existent closeness  suddenly materializes.  Something from nothing, literally. 

I hear a heartbeat and I’ll let you guys know if the beat grows.
