The Gang's Prized Possession

Chapter Nineteen

He snorted. "It's a sure ball win"

"Logan's house, his parents will be out of town" Vini replied and crossed his arms.

"Party again huh? Bahala na kayo sa mga buhay nyo. I'm starting not to care now dahil wala namang silbi ang pake ko sa inyo"

"You love it when we're suffering" Vini smirked.

Yes, yes I do.

He slung his arm over my shoulder. "Keep saying that, baby. We both know it's not true. Kahit na ayaw mo, you'll still care cause it's in your nature"

I hate him because what he said was true.

"Saka kasama ka namin. Since when did you last Party? Nung bumalik sila sa Seth dito?" Rix had a sour expression on his face na para bang napaka disgrace dahil ang tagal ko nang hindi nag party.

"Bakit? May kailangan ba akong tamaang target like you guys? That I-need-to-party-twice-a-week-even-on-school-days thing? Uh, no. I prefer to stay home and be away from booze, smoke, and cancer. Thank you very much"

"Very well said!" Vini clapped his hands, praising me. His expression then turned serious.

"There's no harm in partying once in a while. Saka bahay naman nila Logan, though hindi nga lang yung bahay sa village natin kasi bawal"

"Duon sa bahay nila sa Dasma gaganapin?"

He nodded. "We can crash there after, dahil alam kong ikaw nalang ang sober pagkatapos non"

"Fine. In one condition," I pointed at both of them. "I'm going to wear what I want and I am wearing jeans"

"Bummer" Vini pouted but he grinned naman nang inirapan ko siya. "Just kidding. Mas gusto ko 'yon dahil we'll be too drunk to protect you"

Pinag tripan lang namin ang mga booths, Josh and Logan joining us. We had fun, at busog pa kami. Para kasing food festival ang intrams namin. Main event ngayon ang volleyball game. Nanuod naman kami but we got bored kaya nang magpalabas na sila ay nag aya na silang umalis. The two players stayed for training, and Jace dahil kailangan niyang i-cover yung game.

To my surprise, Vini followed me home and to my room. He casually strolled in our house like he owned the place but when I was about to open my bedroom door. Hinarap ko siya.

"Hanggang dito talaga?" I asked at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

"What? Bawal ba?"

"Hindi naman," I shook my head. I was just planning to talk to Ethan maybe skype na rin dahil hindi namin nakita ang isa't isa ngayong araw. Alam kong attendance was a must, kaya alam kong hindi siya absent.

Siya na mismo ang nagbukas ng pintuan ko. My cheeks immediately turned red when I saw my clean underwear, neatly folded on top of my bed.

Vini laughed and picked one up. "Pink"

I glared at him. "Put that down!"

He didn't though, instead nilagay niya ito sa underwear drawer ko and the white ones in my bathroom dahil may mga damit rin ako duon. I'm not surprised na kahit lalagyanan ng underwear ko alam niya, only Rix knew that. Madaldal rin yong adik na 'yon.

I changed into comfortable clothes and jumped on my bed. I don't care what he does, oras na namin ni Ethan ngayon like the old times. Nag online ako sa Kik and I saw na may message kaagad siya.

My attention was then diverted to Vini when he got out of my bathroom, wearing sweatpants.

"You have clean shirts in my closet" I told him at the same time my phone beeped.
