DEL FRANCO BROTHERS: Alexis (The Charmer) (PUBLISHED) (COMPLETED)

Chapter Nine

"Hey baby doll, bakit kanina ka pa tulala dyan?" Nakangiting akbay sakin ni Adien. "You're acting weird all weekend."

I looked up at Adien. Magtataka talaga to sa kinikilos ko dahil paggising na paggising ko nung saturday, nagyaya agad ako na umalis kahit hindi pa nagigising si Alex.

At nung Sunday naman nag sleepover kami ng buong barkada kila Cris. Lahat nga sila nagtaka sa biglaan kong pag aaya.

"Weird? I'm always like this." Balewala ko lang na sagot dito, hoping na hindi na to magtanong pa ulit.

I closed my eyes hard ng magsimula na ulit tong magsalita. Bakit ko ba nakalimutan na may pagka mausisa tong si Adien?

"Come on! Sa tingin mo ba hindi ko napansin yung nangyari nung weekend? Your phone keeps ringing the whole time na magkasama tayo. I'm not dumb nor clueless baby doll at sating dalawa ikaw yung mas manhid. What's the real score between you and Alex?" Adien asked, wiggling his eyebrow.

I looked at him and sighed. "Zero." I answered habang tumatalikod na dito.

"Oh come on." He grabbed my wrist and spun me around. "You know, you can trust me baby doll." He flicked my nose. "Zero? You mean "LOVE" in tennis?" He inquired, smirking and winking at me.

"Stop making conclusion Adien. You know your brother so well, sa tingin mo ba nasa vocabulary ni Alex yung salitang LOVE. Besides, you're a basketball player hindi ba yung mas appropriate na word is BUTATA?" Nakairap kong sabi dito habang inaalis ko yung kamay nya sa wrist ko.

I heard him chuckled quietly. "Smart mouth ka talaga kahit kelan." Nakangiti nitong ginulo yung buhok ko.

Naiinis na hinampas ko yung kamay nito. "Not my hair Adien, sinabi ko na sayong guluhin mo na ang lahat sakin wag na wag lang yung buhok ko." Naiirita kong sabi dito.

Mas lalo akong napa kunot noo at nairita ng tinawanan lang ako nito. Damn this guy! Lakas ng trip. Kukurutin ko na sana yung magkabilang pisngi ni Adien ng basta nalang may humawak sa mga kamay ko.

"Alex!" Nabibigla kong sabi dito ng makita ko to sa gilid namin ni Adien.

He is looking at me amusingly. "Hello Sweetheart. I'm done with your games. Hide and seek is now over." He said, giving me a lopsided smile.

Damn it! "Hide and seek?I don't know what you're talking about." Nag ma-maang maangan kong sabi dito habang hinihila ko yung kamay ko sa pagkakahawak nito.

Mas lalong hinigpitan ni Alex yung pagkakahawak nito sa kamay ko. "If you thought you can escape, you better think twice."

Pipiglas na sana ako dito ng may tumikhim sa gilid namin. Sabay kaming napalingon ni Alex kay Adien na nakataas yung kilay habang amuse na naka tingin saming dalawa. "Tapos na kayo sa lambingan nyo?" Nakangising tanong nito samin.

I rolled my eyes at Adien. "Lambingan ba ang tawag dito." Naiinis na sabi ko dito habang papiglas kong inalis yung pagkakahawak ni Alex sa kamay ko.

"Stop it sweetheart. You'll just get yourself hurt." Nagbababalang sabi nito sakin tungkol sa pag piglas ko sa mga kamay nito.

"I won't if you'll let me go." Naiinis at nakairap kong sabi kay Alex habang patuloy kong hinihila yung kamay ko dito.

"Nice try." Nakangising sabi nito, finally letting my hands go pero bago pa ko makatalikod he wrapped his hands around my waist.

"What are you doing?" Naiilang at namumula kong nilagay yung dalawa kong kamay sa dibdib nito para ilayo to ng konti sakin.

God! Hindi ba nya alam na nasu-suffocate ako sa ginagawa nya? Masyado syang malapit, hindi tuloy ako makahinga ng maayos.

"Ok! Ok! Love birds. I got the message. I better go at nakakasuka na yung PDA nyo." Nakangising singit saming dalawa ni Adien.

My eyes widened in shock!

Shit! Iiwan nya ako kay Alex? Oh God No! "Hey Ade, don't leave me here!" Nababahala at nagbababalang sabi ko dito ng makita ko na tatalikod na to.

He just waved his hand dismissively. "You can handle him baby doll." Adien said without turning back.

"Adien!" Naiinis kong tawag dito. Asan na yung you can trust me na sinasabi nya kanina? Eh first sign of trouble umaalis na sya agad.

I heard Adien's laugh habang patuloy lang to sa paglalakad ng hindi lumilingon saming dalawa ni Alex. Damn him! Naturingan na best friend pero nang iiwan sa ere!

"Ano bang kelangan mo?" Naiinis kong sabi kay Alex ng makita ko na hindi na talaga ko babalikan ni Adien.

"You." Alex answered, crooked his head and gave me a lazy smile.

I can feel myself blushing. Damn it!Kawawa na naman yung puso ko, nag o-overtime na masyado sa pag pa-pump!

"Let me go." Nang makita ko na tinignan ako nito ng nanghihinalang tingin. "I won't escape." Naiinis kong sabi dito.

Alex chuckled. "But I like you this way." He said, teasing me.

I rolled my eyes but still managed to blushed furiously. "Stop teasing me Alex! Let me go, so we can start to talk about your wish." I said with my resigned tone.

He let go of my waist but grab my hand instead at hinila ako papunta sa kung saan. "Where are you taking me?"

Hindi ako nito pinansin at patuloy lang to sa pag hila sakin.

I know this way, papunta to sa locker room ng Basketball Team pero bago pa ko makapag tanong nasa may harap na kami ng locker room nila at hinihila na ako ni Alex papasok sa loob.

I looked around. "Why here?" Nagtatakang tanong ko kay Alex na seryoso lang na nakatingin sakin.

"We need to talk in private." Alex answered, still looking at me seriously.

My eyes lit up ng mahulaan ko yung gusto nitong mangyari. "You want me to be your Manager?" Nakangisi kong tanong dito.

"Aayaw ayaw ka pa nung nakaraan." Nakangisi kong sabi kay Alex sa nang iinis kong tono. Masyado kasing Drama King!

Kung hindi sya nag inarte nung nakaraan eh di sana hindi nabawasan yung wish nya. His loss is my gain kaya ok na din to. I giggled at my thoughts.

"No."

Nawala yung ngiti ko ng magsalita ulit to. "No?" Nagtataka kong tanong dito.

Anong reason at andito kami ngayon sa locker room nila?

"Why did you take me here?"

"I told you that we need to talk in PRIVATE." Mabagal nitong sabi sakin na para bang three years old yung kausap nito.

I rolled my eyes in disbelief and embarrassment. "I'm not stupid!" Naiinis kong sigaw dito. I crossed my hands above my chest. "What's your damn wish?"

Shit! Daig ko pa yung Genie sa drama naming to. Bakit ba kasi hindi pwedeng itikom nalang nya yung bibig nya ng walang hinihinging kapalit? Napaka ungentleman!

"No swearing Sweetheart." He said amusingly.

No swearing pa syang nalalaman dyan. Mag mumura ako kung kelan ko gusto. Ka imbyerna!

"Stop beating around the bush Alexis.! Tell me your damn wish already." I said, snapping at him.

He chuckled as I glared at him. "Ok .Ok." He said, still laughing softly.

I just tapped my left foot on the ground, still crossing my hands above my chest. I raised my eyebrow, waiting impatiently for him to speak.

He looked straight into my eyes, looking serious all of the sudden. "Be my girlfriend.'
