More Than The Gems

Chapter 15

We went in different places as Denschel wish. We went in Baguio, Ilocos and in Bulacan also. I helped him in courting Irish-- the name of the girl she likes and so far, it's effective.

"I'll print this, tas display ko dito." nakaupo kami sa sofa ng condo nya habang kumakain ako ng ice cream. He's looking at the photos in his camera. Mga picture namin nang gumala kami.

My phone rang and Kazumi's name popped up. I pressed the green button and greeted her.

"Hi Crest! Sorry di ako nakatawag agad ahh? I miss my bonding with my family and friends here. Ang saya!" she exclaimed on delight. I chuckled lightly.

"It's fine, how are you?" sumandok ulit ako ng ice cream. "I'm babysitting my nephew while Kairo were playing games with my brothers." paliwanag niya kaya tumango ako.

"Okay, see you next time, alright?" she agreed before ending the call.

Lumingon ako kay Denschel na seryoso sa pagte text. He didn't noticed me so I grabbed his arms and gripped it tightly. Halos mapatalon siya pero hawak ko ang braso. I read the message on his phone.

"Sappi!" he hissed pero mahigpit ko syang hinawakan at natawa sa text nya.

To: Irish❤❤❤

Hi bebeq! Alam mo bang ikaw ang gud sa morning koe?

"Ang corny nyan Chel!" I exclaimed to him. He pouted kaya pinitik ko ang nguso nya. Napa aray sya don.

"Palitan mo," I insisted pero mukhang wala syang maisip. He looked at me again na parang nanghihingi ng tulong, kaya lang di rin ako magaling dyan.

"Tanong mo kung pera ba sya," sabi ko ng may sumagi sa isipan. His forehead creased. "Bakit?" naguguluhang tanong nya. My lips protruded.

"Cause you're nothing without her," I giggled at napatawa rin sya.

"Mas corny yon."he sighed but he stilled and his forehead creased. Maya maya ay umawang ang bibig niya at tumingin sa akin.

"Sinasabi mo bang mukha akong pera?!" OA niyang saad. I shrugged. "No, you're the one who said that." sabi ko at tumayo para ibalik ang tirang ice cream sa ref. Lumingon ako muli sa kanya at nagta type na naman siya. Tahimik akong pumunta sa likod para makibasa.

"Fuck you, basted ka niyan talaga." I said and he almost jumped before looking at me with widened eyes. I smirked but I screamed when he pulled my hair. This man!

"Siya nga pala Chel, aalis ako mamaya." I said while fixing my hair. Napabaling sya sa pwesto ko at nagsalubong ang kilay.

"Huh? Kala ko ba sa park tayo mamaya?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Pupunta ko kela Tita Karen, I want to treat them though." I'm happy to found another parent-like on me. Gusto ko ring bumalik sa London but my parents were not home. They have business in other countries so...

"Edi sasama na ko!" tumayo siya. Nangunot ang noo ko sa kanya. "Wag na, just visit your Irish." I muttered pero ang eager nya sumama.

"Okay lang, kilala ko naman sila eh, di ba ako nga nag set up ng video call? Vibes ko nga si Kasper." umirap ako at hinayaan siya sa gusto nya.

11 in the morning ay bumyahe kami papunta sa kanila. Thirty minutes lang ang ginugol namin at nakarating na kami agad.

Wearing my red loose blouse, skinny pants and a cropped black jacket, I went out from the van. Denschel was simply wearing white button down polo and slacks. Nag shades pa ang loko.
