Your Song

Chapter 21

Binatukan ko. "Whatever."

"Aww, LQ agad?" tanong ng isa.

Tumawa naman sila.

"No, really, thanks," Cal said.

They laughed. "Sure bro."

Pansin ko, masaya silang kasama. They have this aura that you won't feel out of place when you're with them.

"Ang ganda niya ah," sabi ng isang makulit na kasama nila, siya 'yung asar nang asar kanina.

I laughed when I saw Cal frowned. "Pagpasensiyahan niyo na 'to." I saw them laughed even harder.

"Nagbibiro lang noh! May girlfriend kaming lahat."

Cal then laughed. "Kidding. Sige, una na kami."

If I know, nagselos na naman ata.

Tumango sila. "Goodluck to the both of you, bud."

"Thanks," he said and waved.

When we got out, I saw our parents outside.

"Mom?! Dad?!"

"Good job, son," tito said.

"Huh?"

"He planned this, sweetie," mom said.

I looked at Cal. "Really? But akala ko sumingit ka lang agad dun sa banda?"

He laughed. "You think pwede 'yun? Come on baby doll, didn't you even wonder why I got along with them easily? It's because I already had contact with them."

Oo nga noh? And maybe that's also the reason why he sounded busy a while back at our room.

Our family decided to take dinner first--our parents aren't really tired and sleepy, pinagkaisahan lang nila ako para magawa ni Cal ang plano niya.

Pagbalik sa hotel, I immediately changed clothes and slumped myself in my bed.

"I'm so tired, Cal," I said in a drowsy voice.

"Sleep now baby."

I looked at him, and immediately regret it.

He's topless again, and only wearing boxers.

He laughed.

"I didn't see anything!" I said, turning my back on him.

"You wish so," he teased.

"Caaal!" I shouted. I immediately felt my energy back again by his unbearable pesters.

He laughed. "Turn around now, I'm covered up, nothing for you to pervert about."

I turned and shouted, "I'm not a pervert!"

He just laughed.

I finally found myself at peace when he opened the tv and shut up.

After a while, I nearly slept when I remembered something.

"Cal?"

"Hmm?"

"Why did you do the thing earlier?"

"What thing?"

"The serenade at the cafe."

"Because I want to make you happy."

I smiled, "It did."

"Then I'm happy too."

I laughed. "Seriously?"

"Yeah," he smiled.

"Okay goodnight Cal."
