Do you remember Ray?

I was at the counter a while ago. I looked up and there he was. There he was. There. He. Was. My beautiful, oh-so-perfect stranger. I couldn't believe it.

I secretly wished that he would come to the counter and order something, anything, so that I may speak with him again. I can't tell you how many nights I've spent thinking about him. And I would have given anything for him to make his way to my arms register. *headdesk*

But he didn't order anything. This lady that he was with did. *sigh*. Okay lang. They ordered two empanadas, I gave them four. And I made their halo-halo suuuuuper special - made with lots of love from me. :)

Anyway, I called out the name on their ticket and was expecting the lady to come forward. But he came to pick up their halo-halo. He stood in front of the bar when I handed him the bag. And he was smiling at me!!! Or the halo-halo. :( He took the bag and walked away.

Do you like emo? Do you eat sushi? Can I have your numbeeeeer?

I would have loved to ask him those questions but... the boss was looking. And so I watched him leave. Again.

My beautiful stranger. Fate led you back to me. But I could only do so much that I lost you again. Please don't let this be the last time.

PS My tunes were on a while ago. Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon was playing and he was singing to it. That's one thing we have in common. Oh, and he's emo too. So that's two. :)

Pumasok ako ng office kanina kasi nagpapabilang ng pera si Ryan. Pagpasok na pagpasok ko ang banat ba naman sa'kin ay Kamusta na kayo?

Walang point mag-maang-maangan. Kunyari na lang tuloy naiwanan ko yung susi ng vault. Teka, teka. Naiwan ko yung susi. Babalik ako. Teka lang.

Pagbalik ko, sabi ko kay Ryan, Bakit mo ako tinatanong kung kamusta na kami? Ako dapat ang nagtatanong sa'yo niyan eh, sabay tawa.

Ang cute niyo nga kanina eh. sabi ni Ryan.

Anong pinag-sasasabi mo diyan? tanong ko naman.

Nagkukurutan kayo. Tapos nagtutulakan. Ang sweet. Ang cute. Sarap kuhanan ng video. Parang gusto ko na rin tuloy magka-girl friend. sabi niya sa'kin. Naka-ngiti siya na hanggang tenga, bez.

Ewan ko sayo, Ryan. na lang ang nasabi ko. Alam ko kasi na cute nga kami tingnan. Para kaming bata na naglalaro lang. Kaya masaya kami.

Magka-text ba kayo?, tanong niya sa'kin. Na-interrupt tuloy ang pagrecall ko ng moments namin ni Lilo.

Oo, bakit?

Kaya pala masaya siya kanina. Naka-ngiti habang nagpapala kami ng snow. Tinanong ko kung bakit siya masaya tapos ang sabi niya lang sa'kin 'Wala lang.' Yun pala may nagpapasaya sa kaniya. sabi ni Ry sa'kin.

Hoy. Tumigil ka nga diyan. pero hindi ko din mapigilan ang sarili kong ngumiti.

And all of the world and
All of its powers
Couldn't keep your love from me
Couldn't keep your love from me

Cause I need you
Like the dragonflies' wings need the wind
Like the orphan needs home once again
Like heaven needs more to come in
I need you here like you've always been

~from Copeland's Priceless

He held my hand again today. And, as before, it was in the middle of the rush and it was in front of everybody.

It steadied me. That moment seemed like an eternity. Everything went quiet. Everything else faded. There was only me and him and our intertwined fingers.

<3

I think it's time I gave this boy the hug test.
