Voyeur

i usually go out with my friends, i seldom meet-up with people i don't really know. we hang out at nearby coffee shops and pubs.

so we went inside the coffee shop, got our drinks and got seats upstairs where we can be noisy and crazy. we were getting comfy and laughing, but there was this weird fella who went up alone. he sat at the table next to us. we didn't mind him at first, but we kept on surfing the net, eating, and drinking. this weird guy was taking glances at us. i don't know if it was me or if it was my friend who he was eyeing.

we stayed there for about 3 hours and the guy also did, still covertly taking glances at us. i decided to confirm my gut feeling. i asked V to go outside for a bit. V is one of my best friends from college, we reviewed for our NLE together and heck, we even do photo shoots together. she's a pretty gal, but not so bright, i still love her though. so we went down, we whispered just in case the creeper might have followed us.

N: "V, nakikita mo ba yung guy sa tabi natin? kanina pa siya tingin ng tingin."

V: "ha? oo. kanina pa. ano ba problema?"

N: "hindi ka ba natatakot? hindi naman natin siya kilala eh, kung maka tingin parang walang bukas."

V: "haha, ayaw mo nun? gusto ka ata eh."

N: "gaga kang babae ka, lalaki yun, pano magkakagusto sakin yun? ikaw yung tinitignan no."

V: "eh di dapat tinitigan ko din. nahuhuli ko kaya sayo nakatingin. gwapo naman siya ah."

my hunches were right and i couldn't reply anything. ninerbyos na naman ako.

N: "naman eh, kelangan i-emphasize na gwapo? eh tignan mo, nakakatakot, mukang stalker."

V: "sige ayaw mo? ako lalapit dun at magtatanong. akin na lang yun, muka pa namang Bi."

N: "sige, pag yan killer, mababalitaan na lang kitang naitak yung leeg sa TV."

V: "gago! napaka-praning mo. hindi lahat ng tao masama ang intensyon okay?"

N: "haha, sigurista lang kasi beb. umakyat na tayo, baka bumaba si loko. kunin ko lang yung netbook ko tpos CR lang ako."

V: "sige ako rin, naii-ihi na ko."

we both went up, V got her bag and went for the little lady's room, i packed my netbook and went to the little boy's room. when i went out to wash my hands, he was in the front of the sink. FUCK!

"uh excuse me, can i use the sink for a while?"

he smiled back and said, "yeah sure! here you go." i just smiled back and washed my hands.

"my name's Chuck by the way."

"oh, well my name's Nik."

"your friend is really pretty. are you guys going out?"

"...uh no."

"oh that's good to hear then! see you around Nik!" he went off and was never to be seen again.

my heart skipped a beat. i was panicking, i just had enough control over my sympathetic nervous system that i didn't tremble. i guess V was right then. DAMN! who knew? i really have no idea about flirting. like i've said, i'm a tuod i never let my shields down. i think i failed big time.

the guy looked very filipino. he had big brown eyes, a prominent jaw line and he was about 5'8'' in height. not my cup of tea, but definitely piqued my interest. 

i'm such a failure, yes?
