Chapter 22
GRILL

I don't know if everyone had a say about what Third did at the party but I'm sure there's a lot of guests saw it. Sana lang ay hindi gawing sobrang big deal iyon kundi malalagot talaga ako.

Nang gabi ring iyon, hindi ako tinigilan ni Third kasisingil hanggang sa napilitan akong ibigay na lang sa kanya ang cake. Hiyang-hiya ako dahil alam kong hindi special iyon at sobrang cheap pa. Hindi niya rin birthday. But he looks so happy when he received it he even keep it away from anyone else.

Ngayon ay nasa living room kami at nanonood ng thriller movies. Rino and Kyla arrived at the mansion and Rino suggested to watch a movie kaya kaming apat ang nanonood ngayon.

Kyla was beside Third and I was beside Rino. Tahimik kaming nag-uusap ni Rino, nagtatalo tungkol sa pambawi ko sa kanya. I saw Third playing on his lips while keeping his sharp eyes at us.

"How about a date?" Rino whispered to not distract the two.

Hindi nga lang ako sigurado ngayon dahil hindi naman nanonood si Third at nakatitig lang sa amin.

"Let's see..."

"Bakit? Are you busy?"

"No."

"Then it's a date!"

Ngumisi lang ako at hindi na sinagot iyon. I don't think a date is safe. Mrs. Gallardo will surely go hysterical once she found out again.

Nanood lang ulit ako at nagpaalam na kumuha ng makakain. I searched anything we can eat in the kitchen. May nakita akong popcorn and junkfoods pero kailangan pang lutuin. Madali lang naman kaya niluto ko na.

Naghanda na rin ako ng iba pang merienda. I was busy putting all of the foods in the plate when I heard Third's voice.

"What took you so long?"

I almost jumped when he appeared in the kitchen's door, leaning on to it while crossing his arm, watching me busy preparing the foods. Muntik ko na siyang samaan ng tingin.

"I'm cooking."

Naglakad siya papalapit sa akin. I panicked a little. Kinalma ko rin agad ang sarili. He looked at the foods I prepared as he settled his self closer to me.

"Let me help,"

"Tapos na naman. Hinahanda ko na lang."

"Then let me help to prepare."

Hinayaan ko na siya. Pagkatapos ay hinintay niyang makatapos ako. He was busy looking at the foods in the bowls, thinking of something.

"Nasaan sila?" tanong ko.

"Nasa living room."

"Ba't mo iniwan doon?"

"It's fine. They're talking."

Kinuha ko ang bowl ng popcorn at iniwan na siya roon. Pagbalik ko ay may dala na rin siyang dalawang bowl pero nandoon lang, ni hindi sumunod at hinihintay lang akong makabalik. Lumapit ako.

"Ako na," I said.

"Alright," mabilis na pagpayag niya, namamaos pa.

Pareho niyang inilagay sa dalawang kamay ko ang dalawang bowl. Nagtataka man ay hinayaan ko siya. Nagulat ako nang pagkatapos mawalan ng bakante ang dalawa kong kamay ay hinila niya ang katawan ko papalapit sa kaniya.

He inclined his head and before I could say anything, siniil na niya ng halik ang labi ko.

Sa gulat ay nanatili akong nakadilat, reason why I saw how his eyes closed tightly as he's crouching down to kiss me. Parehong may hawak ang kamay ko at pakiramdam ko'y sinadya niya talaga iyon para hindi ko siya maitulak! By then, he can kiss me for all he wants and I was right.
