**BRENT's POV**

Everyday naglalaan si Maxie nang time  para turuan ako. She's an extraordinary girl and I mean it. She's teaching me our lessons and every time na may hindi ako naiintindihan ay inuulit at ipinapaliwanag nya ito sa mas simpleng paraan.

Hindi sya nagsasawang turuan ako kahit paulit ulit at hirap akong makaintindi. She believe that I could still make my parents proud.

Ang date namin ni Maxie ay sa Library lagi. We will spend our time reading and studying there at minsan naman ay nag ku-kwentuhan din kami.

Our date was not that remarkable but I love it. I love spending time with her. Every time I'm with her it feels so special.

"Damn, I think I love her even more" bulong ko at hindi ko na napigilan ang mapangiti.

Napahawak din ako sa pisngi ko nang naramdaman kong nag iinit ito.

"I'm blushing because I'm in love" bahagya pa akong napatawa dahil kinikilig talaga ako.

Wala ang professor namin sa third subject and since may class pa si Maxie naisipan kong pumunta sa bookstore.

I've been courting her for months pero wala pa akong naibibigay sa kanya and that's so ungentlemanly of me.

I want to buy her something but I don't know what. If I gave her some jewels then she might not accept it.

And besides, hindi din ako binibigyan ni Mommy nang pera kaya kailangan kong mag tipid.

Bumili lang ako nang ilang gamit bago ako dumaan sa grocery.

I'm gonna surprise my girl!

That's right since I think I've fallen deeper to her I'm going to celebrate it!

I'm going to cook some chicken, squid and fish for her.

After that ay muli akong bumalik sa University at dumaan muna ako sa locker nya and I wrote  a message for her then umuwi muna ako since malapit lang naman ang Condo na tinitirahan ko.

I'm going to cook a lunch for her and I'm going to seduce her with my amazing culinary skills!

She's going to fall for me too.

I want to marry her already!

Wooops!

Did I mention that I want to marry her? Weird... I'm not even her boyfriend yet.

When am I gonna be her boyfriend? I want to hold hands with her already because I noticed recently that her fingers were freaking cute!

But I think I'm gonna get nervous kapag magho-holding hands na kami. What if my palms became too sweaty?

Now, I really need to calm my self before my head explodes due to over blushing.

I heard that when you cook for someone you like you should pour all your love sa niluluto mong pagkain para sumarap ito so I have no choice but to do that.

"I love you so much Maxie~"

"I love you this big" usal ko and I spread out my hands habang may hawak akong spatula.

"Maybe what I'm doing is not enough?" bulong ko. Talking to the food will not make it delicious "I think I need to dance too" dagdag ko pa at agad akong napangiti.

I was dancing and cooking habang nagluluto ako and I'm really happy with what I'm doing

**MAXIE's POV**

Kakatapos lang nang class ko at naisipan kong pumunta sa locker ko para kunin ang ibang gamit ko when I noticed a letter. Iisang tao lang ang nag iiwan nang letter sa locker ko and that was Ian. Kinuha ko ito at binasa.

"See you at the back of the University. Let's have some lunch first bago tayo mag date sa Library"

Iyan lang ang nakasulat and I shrugged. Of course, kumakain muna kami bago pumunta sa library dahil bawal mag dala nang pagkain duon.

Habang naglalakad ako papunta duon ay may nadaanan akong nag bibenta nang banana kaya bumili ako nang isa.

"Shanell, Where are you going?" tanong sa akin nang isang classmate ko na nakasalubong ko.

"I'm going to eat lunch" simpleng sagot ko sa kanya. I'm not that close to my classmates since hindi naman ako nakakapag bonding sa kanila dahil busy ako.

"Oh, remember to go back earlier than usual then. May quiz tayo sa next subject and you might want to review" paalala nya bago sya tuluyang umalis.

Nagmadali na akong mag lakad at pagkadating ko likod nang university ay agad kong hinanap si Ian.

"Where is he?" bulong ko at nakita ko naman syang tumatakbo palapit sa akin.

"Maxie!" tawag nya sa akin and I saw him eyeing the banana that I'm holding.

"A banana! I like banana! Can I have it?" tanong nya at agad nyang kinuha sa akin yung saging.

He looks happy and excited kaya hinayaan ko na lang syang kainin ito.

"Oh, that's right. I've cooked something for you!" usal nya at kinalkal nya ang bag nya and he took out a big container at ibinigay nya ito sa akin.

"Thank you, Alright let's find a place to eat" kinuha ko ito then nag hanap na kami nang lugar na wala masyadong studyante at umupo kami sa bench.

"I'm so excited!" tuwang tuwa na sabi ni Ian habang nakatitig sa container na hawak ko.

I sighed then binuksan ko ito.

"Come on! Taste it! I'm so amazing! I can cook fish, squid and chicken" he even blushed nang sabihin nya ito. I even think na napabilib nya pa ang sarili nya.

"Yeah, You've cooked some fishballs, squidballs and chickenballs for me. Thank you" I smiled at him at halata namang mas natuwa sya.

"Oh, wait" pigil nya sa akin nang kukuha na sana ako duon then muli na naman syang nagkalkal sa bag nya "I've bought a stick!" he waved it around kaya naman napatawa na ako dahil sa ginagawa nya.

Ibinigay nya sa akin ang isang stick and he even encouraged me to eat those.

"Come on,Taste it for your self. My culinary skills was extraordinary" I knew it. Napabilib nga nya ang sarili nya.

Sigurado ako na bumili lang sya nang ready to cook and the only thing he did was to fry it.

Anyway, I don't have the courage to ruin his joy kaya I complimented him.
