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

Chapter Thirty-six

Should I follow them?

I shook my head and pushed the idea in the corner of my mind.

Not a good choice.

In a drama or even in books, sa mga ganitong eksena nagkaka problema ang leading lady at leading man.

Definitely, not a good move.

I heaved a deep sigh and slumped my shoulder in defeat.

I gulped down the cup of liquor in front of me and tried to drown my doubts away.

I yelped in surprise ng basta nalang may kumuha ng iniinom ko. Nagmamadali akong napatingin sa gilid ko.

"Ricky? What are you doing here?" I gasped in surprise.

Remember Ricky? Yung mukang suplado na kasama ni Ade sa gym?

Umupo muna si Ricky sa stool sa tabi ko bago ako nito sinulyapan. "Nakasalubong ko si Captain. Pinapabantayan ka nya sakin." Simple at diretsong sagot nito habang binababa nito sa tapat yung baso na kinuha niya sakin.

Pinapabantayan?

Is he kidding me?

I huffed and sighed.

Gezz! Pati ba naman si Alex, ginagawa akong bata.

I can take care of myself.

I roughly grabbed my cup in front of him. "I can manage. Thank you." I said in sarcasm and chugged all the liquor inside my cup.

Ricky shook his head. "Jealous woman is not easy to deal with." He murmured.

But I heard him loud and clear.

"I'm not jealous." I said snapping at him.

"I can see that." He raised his eyebrow and gave me a look that said "I don't freaking believe you."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms against my chest.

Darn! I'm not jealous.

I'm not.

I sighed.

Yes! I'am.

Maybe? A little bit?

Miski ako, hindi ko na din maintindihan yung sarili ko.

Salubong yung kilay na binaling ko yung tingin ko kay Ricky. "Bakit ka ba nagsasalita?" Naiinis na sabi ko nalang dito.

The first time I saw him, halos ayaw na nitong ibuka yung bibig nito tapos ngayon ang lakas mang inis.

What's with the sudden change?

He raised his eyebrow. "Because I can?" He answered, eyes dancing with amusement.

I rolled my eyes. "You could have fooled me." I murmured and grabbed another cup from the waiter who's passing by.

I heard him chuckling but I ignored him completely.

Nag focus ako sa alak na kinuha ko.

Darn! Sarap talaga nitong iniinom ko. Parang coke lang.

I already drank the whole thing bago pa nakapag react si Ricky.

"Stop drinking already." Medyo mataas at seryoso ng sabi nito.

"Opps!" I giggled. "Sorry." I continued and grinned.

Ricky curses under his breath. "Shit! Ako ang malalagot kay Captain nito eh."

I feel giddy all of the sudden. Bakit parang may na aalala ako kay Ricky pero hindi ko lang ma pin-point kung ano?
