TAKING CHANCES

CHAPTER 10

"FINE!" Sigaw ni Chilly.

"Fine, what?"

"I know you understand what I said." He looked pissed, I guess. I'm so loving this.

"Chill! What does your fine mean?" Mas lalo pa siyang nainis. Haha! This is what I want.

"Do you want me to take back my words?" Matalas niya kong tinignan na parang hinahamon. Tumahimik nalang ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa parking lot. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto which is I find really sweet of him. Despite of me pissing him, he still care for me.

Habang nasa sasakyan, nagpatugtog ako. CALL ME BABY by EXO. Habang tumutugtog eh sinasabayan ko ng pagkanta at feel na feel ko naman at kilig na kilig ba. Ine'emphasize ko talaga yung CALL ME BABY, sabay tingin kay Chill.

"Can you please stop that!" Kasabay ng pag break ng sasakyan, nasa harapan na pala kami ng bahay.

"Stop what?" I ask innocently.

"That freaking sound."

"This?" Sabay pinatugtog ko nanaman ulit at eksaktong chorus. "Call me baby?"

"What?!" Iritableng sagot naman ni Chill.

"I'm just singing the chorus part. Besides, bakit ba parang badtrip ka sa EXO?"

"They're taking your worthy time that you should've been spend with me." Kinilig ako dun. Hay nako! Omo! Sunod na pinatugtog ko naman yung "Only You" ng Miss A.

"Alam mo ba kung ano ang meaning ng kanta na to Chill?"

"I don't, and don't want to."

"Only You. Ikaw lang naman so don't worry." Then I gave him a peck on his cheek. Umalis na ako agad sa kotse niya at tumakbo agad na sa bahay. Gusto ko sana tignan ang reaksyon niya pero pinili kong huwag nalang.

As soon as I stepped on my house, I saw mom and dad watching tv. How sweet of them. Tumakbo ako agad sakanila at pumagitna. I quickly give them peck on their cheeks.

"Mom, dad, baka naman langgamin dito sa bahay." They just laugh at me as though I said a joke.

"Anyways, magbihis ka na baby, we'll go out for dinner." Mom said with authority. Napatayo naman ako agad.

"Your not busy?"

"Actually, we are. We just want to spend the night with you anak, don't you want it?" Kahit talaga sobrang busy hindi parin nila ako nakakalimutan. Ang suwerte ko talaga sa parents ko.

"Gotta go." I quickly run into my room and do my thing. I'm wearing simple outfit, kahit ano namang suotin ko bagay sakin kaya no worries. I feel cold kaya I wore my jacket. Bumaba na ako agad.

To my surprise, wala na sila mom and dad sa baba. Si lola Nena nalang ang nanonood. The moment na nakita niya akong pababa...

"Kleigh, umalis na ang mom at dad mo. May emergency meeting daw, sorry daw kamo, next time nalang."

"Ok po." Hindi naman ako ganoon ka disappointed since they still have too much time for me. I decided to call mom. And in just a ring, she answered the phone immediately.

"Sorry baby, next time nalang okay?"

"Sige mom. Okay lang po." Then I ended the call. Since medyo maaga pa naman,  7:15 to be exact, lumabas ako ng bahay at nagdoorbell kila Chill. Binuksan naman agad ng maid niya. Hindi ko na hinintay pang magsalita o magtanong yung maid at dumiretso nang pumasok sa bahay ni Chill.

Nakita ko naman agad si Chill na medyo wet look pa. Obviously kakatapos niya lang maligo. He is now well dressed. Kahit sobrang simple ng suot niya ang lakas parin ng dating dahil sa kanya. Tumakbo ako agad sa kanya.

"Chill, can we go out?"

"Why?" Medyo malamya niyang tanong, inaantok na siguro?

"Di pa kasi nakakapag dinner since hindi kami natuloy nina mom and dad." Napangiwi naman siya. Siguro naawa sa akin.

"Where do you want to eat?" He asked cooly.
