13 Native

"Anne!" I look at Lucca as I wave my Hi to him as he's waving on me too. Where here in Chocolate hills and it is breezing a fresh air.

"You're having fun?" Lucca asked me and I nodded. I can forget Cupid at all with this type of nature.

"Hey, Anne!" I look at my cousin as they wave at me so I went to them as Lucca assisted me. "Yeah?" I asked. "Kanang kuan bitaw, Pwede tah mag picture? ('Can we take a picture together?')" they are speaking their language in Visaya.

"Huy di man gud na siya makasabot ug bisaya." ('Hey, She cannot understand us with our Visaya Language.')

"Hala oh diay noh nakalimot ko unsaon mani pag English ha." ('Shoot I almost forgot about it, how should I say that in English term huh,')

"Ma nosebleed man pod tah ani oy, ulawa oy!" ('I'm having a nosebleed already, This is so embarrassing!')

"I-I only understand the word nosebleed," I said and smiled at them they smiled shyly at me. "Ako kahibaw ko mo bisaya." ('I can talk Visaya.') I look at Lucca as my jaw drops.

"What?" he asked. "When did you learn talking with their language?" I ask and I look at him suspiciously. "I'm a Mafia dear I have access around the world so learning a lot of languages is just a child's play for me." I rolled my eyes at him as he giggles.

"What they're trying to say is that if you could take some pictures together here in Chocolate hills." I look at them and said yes.

Hours past and we went home to our barrio where the house here is bahay kubo and it is so native.

"Hey," I look at Mom as she handed me some off lotion. It's a lotion to avoid mosquitos biting you.

I look at Lucca like he's having fun about this barrio stuff.

"Lucca," I called and he looks at me. "What?" he asked and smiled again. "You look crazy what are you smiling at?" I asked as he pointed to the kids playing.

"What are they playing?" I asked him and he giggled like a kid. "The game they're playing is called Luksong baka in English 'Jump over the Cow' is a that originated from," Lucca explained as I knotted my forehead.

"I don't see a cow," I said and he smiled at me as he put his arm on my shoulder and let me look closely at the kids.

"It involves a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 10 players and involves them jumping over the person called the baka, the main goal of the players is to successfully jump over the baka without touching or falling over the baka." I nodded as I began to finally understand what they're playing.

"You know a lot of stuff here in the Philippines," I said. "Well my Mom lived here and this is the first language that I'd know before I learned English."

"Why? I mean you live in the states right?" I asked and he nodded. "My mom doesn't speak English when she's at home and she's the one who thought me how to talk after all I only got to learn the English Language when I met Cupid." I smiled sadly as I heard Cupid's name.

"You were friends since then huh?" I asked and he nodded. "Our friendship is that important to me," he said seriously.

"U-Uhmm one thing Lucca had you notice that someone keep on following us?" I asked and he just shrugged because I kinda feel like some eyes are watching us.

"Hey, Lucca try singing." I look at Mom as he grabs Lucca's hand and gives him the Microphone but Lucca gives the mic to me and pushes me on the center. Mom is shock and was about to get the mic but Lucca stopped her as the music starts.

"I'll kill you later Lucca!" I said and just start singing.

"I really wanna stop

But I just got the taste for it

I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon

So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it

I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah"

I saw Mom and Dad's reaction like they couldn't believe it at all but I just closed my eyes and continue singing.

"Late night, watching television

But how'd we get in this position?

It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something"

I looked at Lucca but what I saw is the image of Cupid looking at me with sincerity in his eyes.

"I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

Lucca smirked at me as I looked away, Why am I still thinking about Cupid now?

"Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head

When we're out of touch

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

I saw Lucca holding the other mic as my cousin pushed him on the center.

"It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation

All I wanna do is get into your head

Yeah we could stay alone, you and me, in this temptation

Sipping on your lips, hanging on by a thread, baby"

He was singing and looking at me at the same time.

"Late night, watching television

But how'd we get in this position?

It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something"

As he touches my chin and let me face him, I can feel my cheeks being red now.

"I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

I took his hand off and looked away, Why am I seeing Cupid in his presence.

"Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head

When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch)

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

I hold my mic tightly as I sigh and look at Lucca where I see is Cupid standing in front of me.

"Who gave you eyes like that?

Said you could keep them?

I don't know how to act

Or if I should be leaving

I'm running out of time

Going out of my mind

I need to tell you something

Yeah, I need to tell you something"

I almost whispered in my mic because I'm so shy, I feel that Cupid is in front of me now.

"I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"- Both

Both of us jammed and start singing together...

"Oh, did I say too much? (Did I say too much?)

I'm so in my head (I'm so in my head)

When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch!)

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"-Me

I look at Lucca as he holds my hand, He smiled at me as he finishes the song.

"I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

(Yeah, I need to tell you something)

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

He said and I just let go of my mic and run away, I don't know but this is so wrong!
