“What?”
“So you are Sarah Geronimo?”, Adam asked me for the millionth time. I could not believe him! What is going with his head? Can he not understand that yes I am Sarah Geronimo?
“For the nth time. Yes…”, I rolled my eyes at him. “I am Sarah Geronimo.”
“So you are really Sarah Geronimo?”
“Adam, if you ask me that question agai-”
“Small world eh?”, Adam cut off.
I scrunched up my eyebrows eyeing him suspiciously. Why is he asking me that question over and over and over again? I sighed and scooped a spoonful of Dirty Ice Cream. Yeah, Ice Creams are my weakness. He asked me what I wanted so I grabbed the opportunity to have one. Plus, I kind of needed it right now to cool me down.
Since the clash with Gerald at his class, Adam decided for us to go to Manila Bay to get some fresh air. It actually helped me clear my mind out. We strolled along the sidewalk, getting eyes from the girls. I guess it runs in the Anderson blood. Being a player right?
“Hi”, a girl said to us.
“Can’t you see I am with my girlfriend?”, hooking one of his arms around me.
I elbowed him on his side as soon as the girl walked off and got a laugh out of him. I scowled at him but he just ignored it. I guess that too runs with the Anderson’s. Good at ignoring people.
I sighed and sat on one of the benches. Manila Bay was picturesque. The seagulls squawking in the background swooning in into the water to catch a bite, the breeze from the salty sea refreshing you like a cold drink of water in a hot summer plus the buzz you get from the people strolling along the sidewalk… it was a lovely sight.
“Is it Gerald that is bothering you?”, Adam asked looking at me with the sun lighting up his honey eyes.
I looked up at him, lowered my cup of ice cream on the bench and then shifted my gaze back to the Bay.
I guess it was him but thinking back now, my sudden outbreak was not only because of him. Gerald sort of ignited my frustrations… frustrations of not having a perfect relationship with Sam and frustrations of not having a perfect family as I have pictured in my mind. Unfortunately for Gerald, it was him who received my tirade that was all bottled up in me. I guess I owe him an apology then? But… No I don’t think so. He was the one that started acting like a jerk again! He should be the first to apologise to me!
I shook my head clearing my mind gazing at the bay.
“It was not really him”, I breathed to the air. “Just lots of problems.”
I don’t even know why I am opening up with Adam but he was the first person to initiate such questions. Somehow that felt quite good. A bit of weight was lifted off my shoulders.
