Kao
What's wrong with me!?!
Why do I feel like this!?!
I scoffed inwardly.
You got to be shvtting me now that I'm suddenly quoting Rihanna.
But really, two things:
One, why did I crazily invited Kav for dinner the last minute after declining him in multiple occasions just because I was pissed off at Pete!?!
Two, why the hell am I even pissed at him!?!
What for!?!
I groaned inwardly.
This is crazy!
I'm going crazy.
I looked at Kav smiling at me over the mounds of dishes he ordered.
I gingerly smiled back.
Okay, maybe I needed this after all.
Maybe I needed the distraction.
I've been too holed up with my life between the house and the university for the past months that I didn't have time to relax and and unwind that's why I'm suddenly feeling-whatever! 
I don't even know what I am really feeling at the moment.
All I know was that I have to remind myself over and over again that I didn't want to have anything to do and that I don't have anything to do with Pete dating.
"So, how was it!?!"
I blinked at Kav who was smiling at me.
"Huh?"
I had no idea what he was talking about before then.
"I was asking if you like the food?"
I smiled and nodded at Kav.
"Uhm, yeah. Yeah. Sure-I mean, Uhm. Yes."
I haven't really tasted anything yet and so I quickly took random dishes into my plate and eat.
"Well, that's good to hear. I've been wanting to bring you here since the first day of internship actually."
My eyes widened at Kav.
I realized, from the short time that we knew each other, he was really straight forward.
"But don't feel awkward about it. I'm just saying. Also, I'm really happy that you finally said yes to my invitation. I hope this will be the start of many more."
I blinked at him and sat up straight as I swallowed dryly.
I don't think I like where this is heading.
"Uhm, Kav, I-."
I saw him smiled and shook his head.
"I'm sorry if I'm being straight forward like this. I didn't mean to turn or scare you off. I'm just feel like grabbing this opportunity of being alone with you by being honest."
He put his cutlery down and sat up the same before he regarded me.
"You see, I like you Kao. And since, you said that you're available right now, I was hoping if you'd give me a chance to get to know you."
I told you he's straight forward.
And I guess in a way, I like him being this way.
No sense of dilly dallying.
But then again, I don't think I could like him the way he wanted me to.
And so I thought I should be honest too.
