DEL FRANCO BROTHERS: Alexis (The Charmer) (PUBLISHED) (COMPLETED)

Chapter Thirty-five

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Do you really have to talk to her?" I asked, exasperatedly.

Alex sighed. "It's important, Sweetheart. I'll be right back. Sandali lang to. I promise."

I frowned. "Why do you need to do it.." I trailed off and sighed.

I shook my head and rubbed my forehead.

I can't help but feel ashamed.

I'm not taking this whole "I need to talk to Katrina" scenario, lightly and maturely.

I sighed and looked up at him. "Never mind. Just freaking go." I said dismissively, waving my hand in the air.

Alex groaned and grabbed my hand.

I frowned even more.

He cupped my face. "Don't make any conclusion, Sweetheart. I don't want you to misunderstand. May kelangan lang talaga akong sabihin o i-kunsulta kay Katrina." He said, looking straight into my eyes.

He caressed my face na para bang ina-assure ako nito na wala naman akong dapat ikabahala.

I drew a deep breath.

I'm not dumb nor clueless.

Alam kong wala ng namamagitan sa kanila ni Katrina.

He freaking introduced me as his girlfriend for God's sake.

That's quite an assurance. Right?

Ang hindi lang ma-digest ng utak ko eh kung bakit kelangan na ngayon pa sila mag usap.

At kung bakit kelangan na iwan pa nya ako because of her.

Ok! Maybe, I'm just being overly dramatic.

But I can't freaking help it. Anxiety is creeping over me.

Sa loob ng apat na taon may relasyon na sila ni Katrina, ganon ba kadali na mabubura yon?

The only thing that keeps me sane eh yung idea na hindi nya tinatago kay Katrina yung relasyon namin.

To say that I'm bewildered by Alex's action is an understatement.

But I can't help but notice na hindi man lang nasorpresa si Katrina.

She even asked for my forgiveness for heaven's sake.

Seriously, she is too nice for her own good.

Believe me when I say, mas nakaka insecure talaga pag mabait yung karibal mo.

Now, I feel like I'm Carmie and She's me.

Great! Just freaking great.

Ngayon ko napatunayan na bilog talaga ang mundo.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and drew a deep breath.

Be reasonable and understanding, Angelica. It's the least you could do to ease your guilt. Paulit ulit at piping pakiusap ko sa sarili ko.

Again, I drew a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.

After a few minutes,

I slumped my shoulders in defeat and heaved a sigh of resignation. "Just go but make sure to do it fast." I said with pouty lips.

Alex beamed at me as I rolled my eyes at him.

A pleasant smile broke quietly over his lips. "Thank you, Sweetheart." He gave my lips a quick peck. "It won't be long. I promise." He continued.

He rested his forehead against mine. "You don't have to worry. You make it pretty clear that I'm yours. Katrina already knows that." He whispered and smiled at me in a teasing manner.
