Kilig Close-Up

The story so far: After some uncertain moments, C. finally makes progress with Marcus. But, she’s faced with some mind-boggling decisions and even tougher questions. After a kilig encounter at an officemate’s party, she needs to regroup and get ready for all things new in her life—love and workwise.
Been working late at the office—again. Okay, I have to admit: I’m half-hoping that Marcus would be doing some overtime, too. (How’s that for motivation?) It’s been more than a week since we’ve spoken. I’m medyo losing hope. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get those hot, steamy daydreams of him out of my head!
Still, I can’t make heads or tails of what happened late last night: I was in the lobby elevator on my way back from the convenient store downstairs, when Marcus suddenly appeared!
“You!” I sort of gasped, unable to believe my luck and trying to hide the four bags of Mr. Chips I had just bought to keep me company.
“There you are!” He grinned, as the elevator doors closed. He is so cute! “O, how come you’re not with ‘whatshisname?’”
“Paeng?” I stiffened, my heart jumping. “Him? Naku, I just needed to work with him for some projects.” Was Marcus actually jealous? But how come he’s not making a move at all?
“Listen, I’m so sorry for not making it to our coffee dates, C.” He moved closer to where I was standing, until his face was just inches from mine. “Forgive me?”
I melted. “Of course,” I replied, as nonchalantly as I could, conscious of the closeness. Eto na ba? Will he actually kiss me?
Ping! The elevator door opened—and we were on our 18th floor office. I groaned inwardly at the bad timing. Not again! Back to reality, girl.
