A/N: Tarang magpakalunod sa ka-sexy-han ni Corvette

 

Hellene’s POV

Napangiti ako when I saw them leave. I just really hope that Kria will be “it” for Corvette. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba likas na maganda si Kria o dahil kapangalan niya ang paboritong manika ni Helena.

But please don’t hurt her Corvette...

Don’t make her your plaything.

Akmang isasara ko ang pinto ng may isang kotseng pumarada sa harap ng bahay. At awtomatikong napa-arko ang kilay ko.  Lalo na ng makilala ko ang anak ng piglet na bumaba doon. Who wouldn’t? Kaya siguro walang buwan ngayon kasi nahiya ito sa kulay ng buhok nito.

“Yo True Love! Rad house! I still owe you for stuffing me inside your locker, that was some impression y’know, a sweet gesture. I’ve been hidden inside closets before but a locker was a first” anito, kahit kailan talaga napakadaldal ng dilaw na unggoy na ito. Pero ano daw? Antawag niya sakin?

“Excuse me? What did you call me?” I squinted my eyes at him but his grin just went wider.

“True Love” he smirked and I was horrified “We’re engaged right? So it must be true love then huh? Like those things you write in your notebooks inside your locker, I’m so sorry to have destroyed them by accident. Forgive me?” he grinned arrogantly, that sarcastic pig! How dare he call me “True Love” and rip my novels! He should burn!

But I retained my stoic face. I won’t be defeated. At alam kong kaligayahan ng Alien na may hyperbilirubenemia sa buhok na ito pag naiinis ako, kaya naman I just rolled my eyes at him.

“Whatever” I replied and was about to close the door pero sa gulat ko ay pinigilan niya ang pagsasara ko ng pinto, his hand accidentally brushed mine until he grinned and held my hand.

At yung mga nababasa sa mga nobela? An electric current or heat surging from his hand to mine?

Well that doesn’t exist. Fiction lang yun.

Ang tanging nararamdaman ko lang ngayon ay ang kagustuhang ipitin yung kamay niya sa pinto.

“Don’t be rude now True Love. I’ve had a hard time finding your house y’know” he said as I just stared at him with my bored eyes.

“What do you want now?” asar kong tanong

“Mom asked me to invite you to dinner at our house. Your parents will also be there” he snorted “Mom wanted to see you again, so does dad. Sa’yo nalang mga magulang ko gusto mo?” he even said, napailing ako internally. Mukha namang mabubuting tao ang mga magulang niya ng makilala ko sila bakit kaya isinumpa sila sa anak nilang ito? Kawawa naman sila.

“Marami pa akong paperworks.” Saad ko
