The Professor Meets the Attorney

XIII

IAN'S POV

"Dammit! Find them!" Gigil na sabi ko sa Head of Security ng kumpanya ko.

Di na maipinta mukha naming tatlo. We are still at Sophie's place. Almost lunchtime na rin. Di pa rin sila bumabalik.

"Fuck! Where are they?" Eros said while calling Miggy.

Iritang irita pa rin siya dahil umalis ang mga babae na di nagpapaalam.

Then my phone rung....

"Tell me!" I said. Then I listened to what my Head of Security said.

"Okay. Thank you." I ended the call.

"Lets go! Nasa cafe sila. May nakapwesto na magbantay sa kanila doon." I said while taking my coat.

"Dapat mo atang bigyan ng bonus ang head of security mo. Mabilis magtrabaho." Drew said.

"I will. For now, tara na baka umalis na naman sina Sophie!" I responded.

Eros is driving the car while I sit at the passenger seat and Drew on the back seat. Ang tahimik namin. Kahit si Drew na maligalig di nagsasalita. After about 30 minutes nakaabot na rin kami.

Agad naming nakita na nagtatawanan ang mga babae. They looked like they are enjoying themselves.

Agad naman kaming lumapit sa kanila.

"Hey guys!" Miggy said then looked at Eros.

"Hi Neighbor!" Drey said to Drew. Tiningnan lang siya nito na walang kangiti-ngiti.

"Good noon Boss!" Sophie said giving me her sweetest smile but I didn't say anything.

"Some guys woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" Red said na may hawak na tray na may 4 na smoothie.

"Hello mga Kuya!" He added.

"What are you doing here?" I said instead.

"They invited me here." Red smiled. Nung makita nitong naningkit ang aming mga mata. Nagtanong ulit ito.

"Did I do something wrong?" Red asked looking confused at his brothers reaction.

"Silly! Sit down Sweetie! Wala kang ginawang masama." I said to him.

"Wala kang ginawang masama Sweetie!" I emphasized the word Sweetie.

Red frowned but sit on the chair in the middle of Sophie and Miggy.

"Thank you Love!" Miggy said to Red then smiled sweetly at kinuha ang dala ng binata.

"Love?!?" Nagiigtingan ang pangang sabi ni Eros. Hindi naman siya pinansin ni Miggy.

Nakakabinging katahimikan ang sumunod dun.

"Anu ba tong napasokan ko?" Red mumbled.

"Nothing Honey. Wala kang napasokan na kahit na anu." Drey said to her then smiled at him.

Hindi naman maipinta ang mukha ni Drew.

"Uwi na tayo." Drew said. Sabay hawak kay Drey.

"Huh?" Drey answered.

"Uuwi tayo. Maglalakad kayo or bubuhatin namin. Pili kayo!" Eros said habang seryosong nakatingin sa mga babae.

"Ahmmmmn. May pupuntahan pa kasi kami. Diba mga Ate?" Red hesitantly said.

"And where, may I ask, would that be?" I asked my brother habang nakatingin dito ng taimtim. Naniningkit ang aking mga mata dahil sa iritasyon.

"We are going home." Sophie said.
