LOVE-NAT, isang makulit na love story! ♥ [ 1 of 2 ]

Chapter 42-3. Adobo Delivery!

Ito ba ibig sabihin ni AJ ng umorder ng iba?? Okay. This isn’t exactly how Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan imagined the help AJ would be giving her. Really? Another date?? Oh no, no, no… she’s through with all these crap!!

“Uh, I read it.” Sabi ni Kuyang may Killer Smile, pointing at the piece of paper Ellie was holding. Yung mismong mensahe ni AJ. “Didn’t get the Adobo part though.” He chuckled. “Wala namang pinadala saking Adobo si AJ.”

Ikaw kasi yung adobo. Ellie was starting to turn slightly flustered in embarrassment. “Kasi…”She tried, feeling a bit uneasy. Hindi niya alam kung papanong sasabihing… ayaw niya yung idea ni AJ. “Uh… ano ee… kasi… ganito… uhm…”

Napangiti si Kuya, parang nabasa nito ang iniisip ng dalaga. “Let me guess… You don’t want to push through with this.”

Nadali mo, tsong!! Ellie gave a weak laughter. Wala talaga siyang balak sumama sa lalaking ito, kahit na… he has such killer smile!! “Hehehe, sorry aa? Baliw talaga yung pinsan ko… wag kang naniniwala sa mga pinagsasasabi nun.”

“Ayos lang, sanay na ko dun kay AJ.” He still gave Ellie a warm smile, no hints of annoyance despite the fact that she just turned him down with their supposed date. “Well then, I’ll just… go.” Ellie nodded quickly than she intended to. Patay ka sakin AJ!! Animales ka!! She was already killing her cousin in her mind. But she was wrong to think na aalis na talaga ito. The guy turned around to face her, pushing his luck. “Can I at least… give you a ride home?”

“Will you hurry!!” Sef hissed at Japo. “Barkada mo yun tapos hinayaan mo lang sumama kung kani-kanino!!”

Japo smiled inwardly. He was satisfied by the way Sef was reacting, thus confirming his hunches. Actually nung isang gabi pa siya nagdududa sa kaibigan, even while they were partying at The Lounge dun sa may QC, that exact same night ng nilibre siya nito. Sef didn’t talk. He didn’t mention any names either… but Japo has few names in mind… and one of which was Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan.

Japo walked behind him in a slower pace, mas lalong nangaasar. Papaunta na sila sa carpark para kunin yung kotse ni Sef. They saw Ellie climbed in a red Montero and they were going to stalk her, but they were very poor at it. Ni hindi nila makita kung asan na yung sinusundan nilang kotse. “Kaya nga ee, barkada ko yun.” Japo said deliberately, emphasizing every word. “Malaki na si Ellie, she can date whoever she wants.”

“Whoever? That guy could either be a jerk, an idiot or a dumbass.” Sef muttered under his breath that Japo almost thought he was already breathing fire out his nose.

Japo couldn’t help but smile, slightly shaking his head. “Chill dude, chill!” He playfully tapped Sef by the shoulder.“Teka… Akala ko ba clown lang, ee bakit nagkakaganyan ka?” Parang biglang natauhan si Sef sa sinabing yun ni Japo. He slightly blushed, even his ears turning slightly pink. “E kung nililigawan mo na lang kasi…”

Napa-tingin si Sef kay Japo, his eyes narrowed dangerously at matatakot na sana si Japo if not to the playful smile Sef was also wearing. “FCK YOU CRISOSTOMO!!”

“Hi.” It was a shy greeting. A soft blush was coloring Sara’s cheeks when she saw Darren Max Sanchez sitting patiently by the waiting area sa airport. He has that serious expression she has been expecting to see. “Hey.” Max barely whispered as he stood up before her.

Ang weird. Parang pareho silang hindi alam kung papano sisimulan ang conversation… samantalang nung magka-chat sila halos umaabot silang 24hours na magkausap. Iba na pala talaga kapag in person… hindi na katulad ng YM na pwede mong pagisipang maigi yung sasabihin mo… hindi kagaya ng webcam na nakikita mo din yung sarili mong itsura sa monitor…
