Your eyes make me shy.

Gio handed me money today and asked me to buy two cups of rice. What? We barely exchange conversation and I even avoided meeting his eyes yet he got the guts to ask me to do him a favor. It would have been okay if we were close but no, we don't usually talk. But even so, I still pick up the (one) fifty-peso bill and went to the nearest food stall at the food court even though it is not yet lunchtime. I figure it was just a very easy task to do and I wouldn't mind it as long as I'm doing it for Gio.

When I came back, he was surprised because he wanted me to go there during lunchtime. I'm sorry but I wasn't able to catch your instructions. Besides, I wanted to give you what you need, Your Highness.

After a few minutes, Gio wet out and then came back holding a pouch with delicious-smelling chicken inasal. I don't know if this guy is being nice or boastful but I am pretty sure he won't be able to finish them all. Later on, he invited me to get some. We were the only people left in the office. No, it wasn't a date. The delicious chicken was placed on the table between us. He took his lunch from his table while I also stayed at mine. We didn't even talk during the meal.

I was just puzzled by his gesture. Usually, he goes home for lunch but yesterday he stayed, and even brought a viand for the two of us.

In the morning of that same day, she asked me if I know someone name Erica who came from the same barangay as me. I answered yes and even asked a follow-up question regarding his relationship with her. But Gio did not answer. He just went on asking when will be the date of our answer. After I answered, he then checked the date and day on his calendar. Wow. When one of our officemates came in, he then proceeded to tell him that I invited all of them to come over our house during fiesta. Wow. Gio must be a friend from a past who just reincarnated. Lol. I feel like he know me already. There is no problem with that except for a fact that he doesn't directly talk to me. He just keeps on dropping bombs.

I don't know what he is up to. Sometimes I wish I could read everyone else's minds but I am scared as it would also be stressful. As of now, I'm just enjoying the process and going with the flow. Every day he plays music and I love the genre. Did I ever tell you that he sings along with it too? He has this husky and cold voice. I would instantly want to sleep when I hear him sing. He smiles perfectly too. His eyes won't be visible anymore once he decided to curve his lips. He laughs hard and he is fond of watching funny videos. Omyy! I can't take him out of my mind. I think I should end it here and see what the destiny has in store for me for the next coming weeks.
