Friendly Gestures

Nicky's POV:

What happened kanina was really himiliating. Thank God, na nandun si Rob with me. i am well aware that almost everyone in the market was looking at me and what's underneath the soaked tee. What Rob did earlier gave me hope that not all guys ar pricks and pervs. I mean, he even take off his shirt to cover me up! and that was so kind of him, not to metion those well toned muscles, but thre's just something else. He reminds me of someone. that guy years ago. could it be him? I dont know. 😣

We're still driving. tahimik sa kotche nya. I didnt know what I was thinking when I placed the neckline of his shirt over my nose. Damn! Ambango! "Ambango ng t-shirt mo ah!" Say whuuut?! Did I just let that slip from my mouth?! Natawa lang sya, more likely nag smirk. Fine. " If you didn't let me drive you today, you wouldnt have the privilege to smell that shirt far more see me half naked!" damn! Presko lang ha! "Excuse me? Privilege? Are you kidding me? I have been working with alot of male models in the US, and I dont think that you are qualified being a "PRIVILEGE" to me." Ha! take that presko boy! nag smirk lang sya. "What happened today was epic." saad ko ng naka ngiti. then he chuckled. ang cute!! That was the first time, after a long time, that I chucked whole heartedly with a complete stranger, and it felt good.

The rest of the trip went smooth, we had chats about funny experiences. It's funny and very unusual. I usually don't open things up but with him it's different. oh well! maybe he's really just a good friend.

Nag park sya sa harap ng bahay, we hauled the groceries from the back seat and bring it sa kitchen.

Time check, 8am. abot pa to ng breakfast. kahit hotdog labg pwede na. nag palit muna ako ng damit kasi nga basa then I started cooking. it wasnt long when Rob joined me in the kitchen. "can I help?" wow ha? Hotdog lang niluluto may bayanihan pang magaganap? " No, it's okay. I got this. breakfast is ready in 5 minutes. you can prepare the table nalang. thanks!" at nag comply naman sya.

"What is the meaning of this?" it's the drama queen herself, Alex. mukang nasarapan sa pag tulog ah! "Kelan pa kayo naging close? huh? Nicky? Rob?" ang sarcastic nyang tanong. "nung tulog ka!" Sagot ko sa kanya. sabay lapag sa mesa ng hotdog at fried rice. alam ko kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip nya, kung anu man ang mga tanong ng baklang ito, it have to wait until later, dahil mag bebreakfast muna kami. i went upstairs to call my brother "kuya, breakfast is ready!" Sigaw ko sa pinto nya. "Okay, susunod na ako."

Maya maya pa sabay sabay na kami kumain, ako, si Alex, si Kuya, at si Rob." Oh, mamaya ah. mag kita nalang tayo sa bar. Susunduin ko si Ayi e. Baka pwede isabay mo nalanag sila, Rob?" tanung ni kiya kay Rob. *sigh* Ayoko nga sumama e. "Huy! Anu ka ba, bar lang yan, minsan ka nalang gagala oh. pag bigyan mo na sila.'' Sabay siko sakin miting si Lexy. "Oo nga naman Nicky, isa pa may announcement ako mamaya, so better be there." pangungumbinsi ni kuya. hmm.. parang alam ko na ata ang i-aanounce nya. Kung tama ang hinala ko, it's about time naman ba talaga!

" Oo na, alam ko namang wala akong magagawa. pero di na kami sasabay kay Rob, dyahe na kasi kanina ko pasya ginagawang driver." sabi ko. "Kanina?" nagtatakang tanong ni kuya. "Oo, sinamahan nya ako sa palengke. nakalimutan ko na kasi kung san yung sakayan papunta dun. kaya pinag druve nya ako." hindi ko na inelaborate, nahihiya akong malaman pa ni kuya ang nangyari sakin dun sa market.

Napangiti na lang si kuya. nag shrug nalang ako at pinag patuloy ko ang pagkain ko.

Pagkatapos namin kumain, nagpaalam na si kuya at papasok pa sya sa opisina nya. "I better get going. thank you sa breakfast Nicks! I'll see you later." sabay halik sa bumbunan ko. "Okay, ingat!" saad ko, sabay tayo at linisin ang pinag kainan namin. "Ako na dito." sabi ni Rob, "ikaw naman ang nagluto e. " dugtong pa nya. "Hindi okay lang, ako nalang. kaya ko na to.'' sabay agaw ng plato sa kanya sa sink. "Nako Rob, hayaan mo sya, yan talaga mga trip nyan, pangarap nya kasi maging katulong e." sira talag ulo nitong bakla na to! " Pwede ba, Alexandro, tantanan mo ako!" Bwelta ko sa kanya. "how dare you call me that! Pumayag na kong tawagin mong Alex e, pati ba naman alexandro?" Sabay walk out ng gaga. drama queen talaga! Napatingin naman ako kay rob na nakatawa sa kabilang side ng sink. "oh, ano pang tinatayo tayo mo jan, go find something else to do." sabi ko sakanya sabay balik sa paghuhugas ng pinggan.

Saka umalis at may bumibulong, " Alam mo ang gender mo lasang baso sa palda ka." Ano daw?! "Ano kamo?" sabay taas ng kilay ko, "wala sabi ko bingi ka." ang feeling nitong isang to ahh. feeling close na porque sinamahan lang ako kanina. Tinapos ko ng mabilis ang paghuhugas ko mamaya mag u-unpack na ako ng mga gamit ko.

"Bunny, aalis ako ha. See you later." sabay labas naman nitong si Lexy. kakadating lang sa pinas rarampa na. Ibang klase talaga. Pumasok na ko sa kwarto ko at nag simulang ayusin ang gamit ko, napatingin ako sa may humper, oo nga pala basa yung damit ko at tshirt niRob. kinuha ko ito at nilaban sa likod ng baha. " Wow ah, kinakareer mo talaga na maging house maid?" nang biglang lumabas si Rob sa pinto. epal. " nakakahiya naman po kasi sa inyo. baka sabihin nyo di ako sanay mag sauli ng gamit." sarcasm, kung nakakkamatay ka malamang madami nang buhay akong kinitil.

Ewan ko ba, I'm not used to talking to people na hindi ko naman talaga ka close. it has always been a rule to me to never put my guard down. but Rob is different, there's something about him na pwede kong pagkatiwalaan. ohh well. baka nagkakamali lang ang instinct ko. Baka naman friendly lang sya. why not give friendship a shot! -_-
