BEST-Friend-Zoned (Book 2)

Chapter Fifteen

"Yeah, and also your long time love. Halatang hindi ka pa nakaka-move on, girl!"

Magsasalita na sana ako to defend myself, pero nasa may parking lot na pala kami.

"Lady's first..." sabay nilang sabing dalawa. 

Nagkatinginan tuloy kaming tatlo. Now what?

Binuksan ni Logan ang pinto sa may passenger side, si Ian naman ay yung nasa backseat. 

Matapos ang ilang segundo, their stares finally landed on me, alone. Hinihintay kung ano yung dapat kong gawin. 

I mean, what should I do then? Saan ako sasakay?

Kay Ian ba dahil ayoko namang sirain yung pagpapanggap na gusto niya. At some point, we have a lot of catching up to do. Or kay Logan ba, to simply tell him through action that there's nothing going on between me and Ian, we're as simple as best of friends. And I don't want him to look like the driver. Especially that it's his own car we're using now.

Bago pa ako tuluyang makapagdesisyon, naglabanan na naman ng tingin ang dalawa. 

Tss! The reason why I want Ian here is for me to stay away from Logan's eyes. But then, what had just happened? Seems like I'm gonna torn with these two. Dalawa pa talaga ang kailangan kong isipin.

Sa sobrang inis ko, hindi ko na lang sila pinansin. I ride on the best seat that will definitely better for us three.

I saw the disappointed look of Logan when he closed the door from the front seat. He immediately went on the driver's seat afterwards.

Pero nang tatabi na sa akin si Ian, I shoo him away. "Doon ka sa harapan."

Naramdaman ko na naman ang tingin nilang dalawa sa akin. Well, I did gave justice on what I said. I make a serious glare.

Lalayo ako sa kanilang dalawa, bahala silang maglabanan ng tingin. Basta ako, lalayo ako from their fight session.

At the end, sumakay din naman si Ian sa tabi ni Logan. And we just got a quiet ride all the way home. I can feel awkwardness, though. Minsan pa nga, nahuhuli kong tinitingnan ako ni Logan mula sa front mirror. But he'll just shove the look immediately. 

For sure naman si Ian, nag-eenjoy sa pwesto niya sa harapan. I'm worrying about Logan, though. Maybe that is what's the meaning of the stare? Para humingi ng saklolo sa akin?

Dumiretso kami sa bahay para sa hinandang dinner ni Mama. Ian insisted he want to get a hotel suite, instead. Pinagbigyan ko na nga lang. Better feed the royalty something he wants, for him to feel... suited.

Hindi naman magarbo ang hinanda namin para kay Ian, tanging simpleng salu-salo lamang. But if there were more to come, mapapakain naman lahat. Although, right now, I was thinking Ian could finish all these dishes.

"Gagawin mo ba akong bloated ngayong gabi? Alam mo namang pinaghirapan ko itong sexy bod ko for the summer, yet you got all these?" sabay turo niya doon sa mga pagkain sa lamesa. "And I won't like to go bar hopping with a fat belly. Mahirap makasayaw ang mga bachelors na gwapo kapag ganun."
