His grip.

"Nevermind, HAHAH." He said laughing at himself. I don't even know who Cardo Dalisay is?!

I brushed my hair with my hands biting my lip. Should I asked him first to watch the movie with me? "Can I have now my ID? I need to go somewhere after." I looked down on the floor.

"Can you watch the movie with me first?" I bit my lip, before showing the two tickets I bought. It supposed to be one just for me, but there's have a promo... Since he's going to meet me anyway, I just count him in.

"Eh? Are you asking me to have a movie date?" I stared at him as he laughed. Is anything funny? He wiped his hand on his face before covering his mouth as if he was embarrassed.

"I hope you just said... but I have a gathering to attend. Sorry, God's loves you, that's okay." I stopped my self on pouting putting again the ticket inside my pocket.

"Even half of the movie, or even just the beginning? You can't?" He looked directly to my eyes. He's smile fade as his brows met a little.

"Life! Give me a sec," My brows seam for a moment by the sudden change of his voice tone. He was like 'forced'. He is now talking with someone and it's not my intention to eavesdrop to their conversation. It's just that, I can hear them.

"Yes, the ID. Tell me if I can catch up, I'll go straight there." I think he's talking to his friend. I got bothered, they had a meet up with his friends, Or occasion something.

"Host?! Me?" I look at him when he pointed himself. He glance at me giving me a smile that makes my ear heat. His affection on me is damn different... What was that??

"Okay! Thanks, Lex!" He ended the call after few more minutes before facing me. "Where is that?" My face lit up when he pointed my pocket, I show him the ticket so he would have an idea about the movie.

"I'll buy first the snacks, is that okay?" He nod on me so I headed to the snack stall. He's following me from behind even joins me at the line.

"You're La Salle upsem, right?" I hummed to answer him. "How did you end up in Ermita? it's hours away." I glance at him before talking.

"My family have a business there. So, it happens that I was there with you."

"Ahhh, KFC. Okeh." I smiled at him paying for the food and beverages. I would have taken the snacks but he got ahead of me, I just let him. We went up to where the cinema rooms are

I tried my self to normally walk because I got.. Lost. I can't find the room! I look back on him and about to face him but stop midway when I saw his goofy smile, He's teeth is showing, because of his big smile! I mouthed what but he simply shook his head grabbing my arm.

"The number is the lowest room number. Obviously the first room, why did you walk far?" I bit my lip. I give our tickets to the lady there before we go inside. I roamed my gazed getting amaze on what's inside. "First time?" I looked down and just follow on what he pointed.

"What if, Yes?" I said in a soft voice looking down at my lap where my hands scratching each other.

"Funny." He whispered before letting out a giggles. I'm not joking. Dad never let me. Even if I were just a kid, he never let us play outside, enter cinema's like this, also arcade. This is my second time entering a cinema I was too young the last time I'm here. Dad always said that I had an iPad, smart tv, and projector in the house, that's all, it's just the same for him.

it is not the same. Scam.

I was shaken and covered the side of my head with one arm when he lifted his hand. My eyes widened, looking directly to my shoes. I slowly put down my arm out of embarrassment. I don't know but after I glance on him, he seems like he's weirded by me.

"Are you okay?" I gulped biting my lips before nodding.

"Sorry." I take a deep breath before talking.

"I'm fine. I'm just... ahm, sorry." I opened my juice to drink it, just to avert him. I scrunch my eyes when tears pools in there. It was my damn reflex. The movie started so I just watched, good thing he didn't ask or talk.

The movie is an action film theres nothing to cry in the movie but my tears is pooling in my eyes.. Pete's sakes, this is embarassing

"The payment will be wasted if you won't watch," I look at him in my peripheral,he was just eating popcorn, his elbow was near on me, so I slowly sniffed and drank my juice again.

"Are you okay? I mean, none of the main characters died, why are you crying Are you okay?" I gasp from his sudden closeness. I can feel his warm breath on my ear.

"Here..." He lend me his handkerchief. I don't have a handkerchief or tissue so I just get it to wipe my eyes.

"Hmm." I look at him before looking down on his hands. I gave him an asking gape, but he just look on his hands before looking directly to my eyes. I put my hands on his palm. I thought I was just assuming but he really is asking for my hand.

"Calm down." He hold my hand using the both of his hands. I sit uncomfortably to my seat moving inches away from him. He might hear my heart beating so fast and loud.

"I said calm down, the speed of your pulse... I can feel it." I don't know if he's teasing but that's how it came out! Annoying. I'm about to pull my hands but he hold on it more tightly so I just gave up. That was our position until the movie ended.

I went out first before heading to the comfort room. I asked first the guard there where the CR was. I might get lost and tooks time, so to be sure. I washed my face multiple times, before wiping it using Gabriel's hankie. His manly scents is all over me.

Even my hand, smells like his scent. I fixed my hair, convincing my self infront the mirror to relaxed and act normally, especially infront of him. I scream a little when someone grabs my arm!

"You look like a kid, who get out in reality for the first time." He's voice became serious. I pushed his chest lightly stepping back. I looked at the man with the pushing cart containing some boxes and other stuff.

"Uhm, Thanks." He moved his head gesturing the way.

We went out of the mall, were now at the rooftop, the peeps became double unlike a while ago before we watched the movie.

"uhm, My ID? I really need to go." I look at him, getting panicked a little. By the way, he 's ID is the reason why we met here. Is it really okay for him that we finished the movie first, since he's going somewhere?

"Ugh, wait, can you hold this for me?" I handed him my wallet and my phone I dug my pockets on the back and on the sides. I hesitated to laugh at him and took my phone he was holding. I walked away to him before taking a call.

"Hey!"

[Oh? Your bag? Yep, It's here. Leaving without saying anyhting, then...] I groaned on Khyro. [I'll get going, they were here,] I sighed nodding as if he can see me. I ended the call before walking back with Gab.

"Ahh-" I didn't finished my sentence when he talk right away.

"You forgot? That's how you women are, you always forget the important ones, tsk, tsk." My brows frowned not getting what was he pointing. "Hay, where do you lived?" I licked my lips averting my gazed.

"Dian." He's face shade darker, making me avert my eyes like a kid. "It's Near, I mean...I know some short cuts." I pouted writing on the floor using my feet like a kid.

"Lets go, Faster!" I immidiately follows him smiling lightly on his back. I guess I'm going to have a friend? Or not.
