I walked inside our front door.
"Lolo," tawag ko.
"Oh apo, ang aga mo naman ata natapos ng panonood niyo ng sine?"
I was about to talk when I saw Timothy went out from my room.
"Sige po Lolo Nato, bibili muna ako ng pamalit sa lock na sira." He just smiled to my lolo and looked at me without emotions. I just looked at him walking out our house.
"Marunong daw siya gumawa sabi ni Sonia kaya, pinatingin ko na." Naglakad ang kanyang lolo patungo sa kusina.
I followed him.
"Bakit ang aga mo?" he asked me again.
Kumuha muna ako ng tubig at uminom
"Masakit po kasi ang ulo ko lolo. Kaya after ng movie ay nagpahatid na ako agad."
"Oh siya. Kumain ka muna ng meryenda dito at magpahinga. Gigisingin na lamang kita kapag narito na si Timothy at aayusin ang bintana mo."
Sinunod ko ang sinabi ng lolo. Kumain ako ng babana cue na nasa lamesa.
I went to my room and took a shower before I went to my bed and sleep.
I heard some slow knock. I saw my clock, 7pm. I slept for 2 hours. I got up and open it. It was my Lola Juanita and Timothy. I saw him looking at me from head to toe, I saw some admiration to his eyes. Yeah! Why not! I am wearing panty short and fitted sleevless and my hair is a little bit messy.
"Apo, aayusin na ni Timothy ang bintana mo. Magbihis ka muna at nakikita na ang iyong kaluluwa."
Dire-diretsong pumasok si Timothy at tumungo sa aking bintana.
"He don't mind lola, he is a gentleman. Ako napo ang bahala rito."
Then I closed the door not letting my grandma to go inside.
I can see his back, kahit naka damit ito. Broad shoulder and biceps. His body is more matured than a usual build of his age.
"I can feel that you're looking at me."
Hindi man lang ito lumingon at nagpatuloy sakanyang ginagawa.
I sat to the edge of my bed.
"I'm sorry." I mean it.
Then he looked at me. "Bakit ang bilis niyo nag-date?"
"I'm not in the mood, and it's not a date, Tim."
"He likes you. It's obvious and I know you know that." He walked pass to me and get something at my back. I don't know but I feel like he is trying to seduce me.
I can smell him again! He looked at me then to my breast . He missed it!
Tumungo ulit ito sa bintana at pinagpatuloy ang pag-aayos.
"I'm done."
I looked at my window and he tried to lock it. Yeah I can see that it's fixed.
He is fixing his things that he used. I walked to my window and try it myself.
I can't help myself to look outside, and I remember the hooded man! I hugged myself. I am scared... I am having goosebumps everytime I thought about him.
"Hey!" he called me.
I looked at him.
"I gotta go, always lock your window."
I just nooded at muling tumingin sa labas
I stop breathing for a bit when I saw the hoodie guy! He is just standing on the same spot where I always saw him. Nakapamulsa ito at nakatingin sa aking gawi.
I almost jump when Timothy touch my shoulder.
"What's wrong?" He asked me and I can see his concerned look in his eyes.
I can't help it. I hugged him.
"I-- i am scared Tim!" And I cried. It looks like I'm strong outside, but inside, I am scared as hell.
I saw him looked around outside my window.
"Tell me what is wrong!?" He sounds frustrated and worried at the same time.
Iginaya niya ako sa aking kama. Pinaupo niya at siya ay lumuhod sa aking harapan hawak ang aking dalawang kamay.
"I don't know Tim, but I feel like someone is stalking me. He is wearing a black hoodie. Lagi ko siyang nakikita sa labas ng aking bintana. Bago ako matulog lagi ko siyang nakikita sa aking paanan." At muling tumulo ang aking luha. He wiped it.
"Hey, stop crying. This place is safe. I can assure you that. I don't know what you are saying, but I will tell you, nobody's gonna hurt you. I'm not gonna let them hurt you, do you understand?"
I just nodded and he hugged me.
Gumaan ang aking loob. I feel so safe!
"Bakit ka nagalit sakin Tim?" Iniba ko ang usapan ng makaramdam na ako ng ginhawa.
Bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap at pinunasan ang aking mga luha. He stood up and look outside for bit then slide my curtain to cover my window. Then he looked at me. Nakasandal siya sa bintana. "I'm not mad. I'm jealous."
He said it without a second thought.
I can't say a word. I was surprised of what he said.
I stood and walk towards him. "But why?"
"I feel like you like him."
"I don't." Then I touched his face, my finger touch his lips and he is just letting me. He likes it.
"Please, don't play with me, Cat. I don't like the feeling of getting played."
I kissed him!
"I like you! And I mean it!" I said it then kissed him again. He hugged and pulled me closer to his. I sorround my hands to his neck. Gosh! I missed kissing him! It's like i've been waiting for this for a long time. It's like I've known him for a long time!
"Apo, tapos na ba si TImothy?" My grandma knocks.
We stopped kissing and looked each others eyes.
"Huwag mo na ulit gagawin na hindi ako pansinin okay?" I kissed him smack.
"I'm sorry I did that to you. That's me being immature."
"Apo?" tawag ulit ng aking lola.
Kumawala ako sa kanyang yakap at binuksan ang pinto.
"Yes lola tapos napo." Siya na ang nagsalita.
Tumango lamang ang lola at lumabas narin siya ng aking silid. Si lola na lamang ang naghatid sakanya palabas. I just looked at him from my window. He smiled and wave goodbye before he entered his car and drove.I was just smiling when I looked to the corner where I always see that person he is not there but still it got me scared. I quickly shut my curtain.
I can't sleep thinking about Timothy and also I slept for 2 hours. I turn off my light and I drink my water, I will just try to watch movies so I can sleep.
But to my surprise, just for a minute after drinking my water I felt sleepy.
I looked at my window if I'm still gonna see that person. No. I don't see something. That lock works perfectly. I heard my door cracking It's like someone is trying to open it, and before I close my eyes, I saw someones open my door and he slowly WALKING TOWARDS ME! It can't be! It's him! AGAIN!
