Chapter Nineteen: Means and Ways

Ok....divert...divert...change topic....divert.. I chanted inside my head. With the feels that I'm getting from Edward's aura right now, I knew I just need to.

"Ahmm....ay Kuya Jimboy mauuna na lang pala kami sa unit nila Edward may sasabihin pa pala ko kay Laura nakalimutan ko kanina. Sunod ka na lang ah....bye...." I mouthed in haste.

It was a poor diversion I know but heck! My soupy brain can't just think of any much brilliant excuse at that moment apart from that one.

Next, I quickly turned Edward around by the shoulders and pushed him, mustering to walk forward. "Edward tara na....tara na...."

But Kuya Jimboy, not being able to take that hint, just had to follow. "Teka teka paano pag tumawag ulit yun?"

Nemen! Wag mo na banggitin Kuya! Kaloka ka!

"Wag mo na lang sagutin pag may tumawag Kuya. Hayaan mo na." I replied.

"Anong wag sagutin eh paano kung importanteng tawag pala yun?"

Kulit!

"Hindi importante yun. Mangungulit lang yun." I insisted.

"How do you know that?" I almost jump on my feet when I heared Edward suddenly speak.  I don't know but somehow I can picture the scowl on his face just by the tone of his voice even if he is currently facing the other way.

"Ahmmm wala.....wala lang. Baka lang." I stuttered as I answer.

The heck why do I feel so rattled over this? I spat mentally at myself.

Really I don't understand it. It's not like Edward and I are in a relationship or some sort in the first place so I definitely do not have any reason to be that defensive regarding Lorenz. Well Lorenz and I do not have that kind of relationship either anyway and even if we really have, I know that Edward wouldn't still care. After all he doesn't see me like that, in a romantic way I mean,  so why bother myself explaining?

Yeah I'm just being guilty over nothing.

"You know he's just like that. Saksakan ng kulit. Lakas man-trip." I added. This time though, I tried my best to sound as nonchalant as possible.

But he only blurted in monotone still. "I don't know. We are not close. I don't even know him personally."

Shet na malagket!

Why do I seem to sense some kind of tensed up vibe emanating from Edward all of a sudden? Or it is just the overthinker in me again? I get it the he doesn't like Lorenz, it is very clear after all of these but his reasons? I have no idea. They still even haven't met personally yet and he's like that already? Geez!

Ok change na lang topic ulit, change topic, change topic....

With that I turned to talk to Kuya Jimboy again instead. "Kuya basta sabihin mo na lang di pa din ako dumadating. Magkikita rin naman kami nun mamaya sa workshop eh kaya keri lang. Mamaya nya na lang sabihin."

"Sigurado ah. Baka importante yun."

Ang kuliiiiiit talaga!!! Argh!!!

Suddenly I wanted to smack Kuya Jimboy for the unnecessary persistence.

"Hindi yun. Saka feeling ko naman di na tatawag yun. Nanawa na yun kasi kanina pa........"

But then all of a sudden.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Oh speaking of. Ayan na yata." Kuya Jimboy exclaimed.

Bushak!
