Perfect Pleasures (PUBLISHED UNDER SUMMIT MEDIA'S SIZZLE)

Chapter 10

“Yes, dy, papunta na po!” Nagmamadali kong pinatay at tinago ang phone ko sa bag ko. Why did I forget that?! Ugh.

I was running but I stopped on my track when I saw a red hot sports car. Literal na napa-nganga ako nang nakita ko yun. Oh god. Ang galing! But damn alright, this isn’t the right time to drool over a fancy car.

When we got home, busy si mama sa pagluluto. She was almost done with her desert. I guess we’re no help in the kitchen now. Jemimah and I helped mom fixingthe table then after that, we starTed getting ready. Since dad said we’re going casual, I chose to wear a casual dress. Hindi naman ganun ka-casual, talagang presentable pa.

It was 6:55 nang may narinig kaming nagdoorbell and that was when I starTed feeling nervous. Bakit nga ba ako kinakabahan?

“Maxine!” NArinig kong tawag sakin ni mommy.

“Yes, my! Andyan na po!” I shouTed back.

When I was on my way down, nakita ko ang unti unting pagbukas ni nanay Cora sa pintuan. I stopped going down nang nakita ko ang pamilyar na mukha. It was Mr. Sebastian, sunod na pumasok ang kanyang asawa.

Nginitan ko sila. They starTed the greet and meet and I greeTed them the same way. So, Rose Sebastian pala ang pangalan ng asawa ni Mr. Edgar Sebastian.

“Oh, my son is still outside. Pinapark lang ang sasakyan.” Mr. Sebastian said and my tummy starTed feeling something weird again.

“And I thought hindi nyo sya kasama.” Dad said.

That was when we heard the doorbell again.

“Oh, ako na po!” My sister volunteered.

I watched my sister walked to the door and opened it. My heart literally starTed beating faster, my breath was cut for a while until I saw him entered..

Dylan.

Hindi ko alam kung sakin lang ba or talagang awkward lang ang paligid.

“Dylan, anak. Halika dito.” Her mom called.

“Divine, Enrico, this is our one and only son, Dylan Luis.” Pagpapakilala kay Dylan.

“Good evening po.” Magalang na sagot ni Dylan.

Hindi ko na sigurado kung ano pa ang itsura ko. Naipako na lang ako sa kinatatayuan ko habang naninigas ang buong katawan. Bakit ba sobrang apektado ko naman ata?!

“I heard you go to the same school as Maxine?” My mommy asked.

“Yes, ma’am. In fact, we know each other.” Aniya sabay ngisi sakin ng nakakaloko. Uh-oh. What is his game?
