Prison of Lies (Partners in Crime Book 2)

Chapter 17

"Have you tried calling him? Malay mo naman, nag papalambing lang yun sayo."

I smiled. Hindi ko pa naman nasusubukan gawin yun and I think Audrey is right. Wala naman masama na humingi ako ng sorry. Nasaktan ko parin si Vixen. We still need to talk. All this time siya yung laging nag aapproached sakin. We finally let go from our hugs.

"This is enough! We're having too much dramas again. Bakit hindi ikaw ang mag kwento sakin. How's your life being Jake's wife?"

I excitedly asked. Madami dami pa siyang hindi na kukwento sakin. Gusto ko na din makita at makausap si Jake. Just to be sure na okay na ulit kami. I saw her blushed and giggled.

"Aside from twice.. Or thrice a day kaming nag lolove making araw-araw. Well everything is fun. Masarap pag silbihan ang sarili mong asawa. I'm a full time house wife, although minsan nakaka-miss din talaga ang work ko."

I'm happy for her. Nakita kong nag matured na din talaga siya. Lalo na siguro pag nag kaanak na sila.

"Ang sipag niyo gumawa ha? Ewan ko lang kung hindi pa kayo mkabuo." And the two of us giggled. Kilig na kilig naman ang loka.

"We'll see this month. Actually, delayed na ko ng ilang araw. Hindi pa lang ako nakakapag test."

We both went to the kitchen as she prepares our snack. I think it's a lasagna. Smells good tho!

"You should immediately consult your Ob-gyn. Para naman may playmate na ang anak ko."

I had a long chitchat with my besie but I failed to meet her husband. I need to leave early and ayoko naman sumabay sa rush hour. Sobrang traffic pa naman ng mga dadaanan ko. I was already inside the car and I'm still holding my phone. Nandito na rin naman ako sa Manila, bakit hindi pa ako makipag kita sa kanya and try to clear things out?

A heavy sigh escapes from my lips. Fine! I will call him. Just about five rings, and he already answer my call.

"H-hey." I murmured. It's not his usual happy and excited voice. That made me bit my lips.

"How are you 'doin?" He asked. But seriously he was very cold. Ngayon ko na lang ulit siya nakausap ng ganyan.

"I-I just visited.. Audrey's new house.. I'm here in QC.. Are you free this afternoon?" It was too late. Madiin ko na lang naipikit ang aking mga mata. What's wrong with you Sid? You usually asked him out.

It was a long pause. At sa sobrang tagal, mukhang kailangan ko ng bawiin yung sinabi ko.

"Why? You wanna ask me out?" My face seriously turns into red. Bakit nahihiya ako? Damn it! The last time we talked was after the party!!!

"Coffee?" I asked. Wala naman malisya sayo diba Sidney? Wala nga ba talaga? At the very first place bakit ka nga pala nakipag make out sa kanya? Don't tell me that's the way you treat your guy friend?

Am I really falling for you Vixen?

Or I already love you?

"Hello? Sid? Are you still there?"

I snapped back in realty. I almost forgot that I'm talking to him and asking him out for a coffee.

"Yeah. I'm sorry. Uhm. So you're free?" I can sense that this man is already smiling naughtily. A very sexy smile.

"I just said yes. But I can't be out too long. Kung okay lang sayo, dito na lang tayo?"

"Of course that's fine. I'll see you later." We hang up and I drove as fast as I could. I will just apologize okay? Don't be clingy Sid. Behave.
