Be Mine

Chapter 29- Camp Training 5th Part

“I must admit I am, Steff. Especially when it comes to your mulish capabilities. Now, eat.” Umupo na siya at nagsimula na ding kumain.

Eating rice again after three years feels weird. Pero ang pagkain ko ng kanin ay parang si Bryan, kakainin ko kahit na alam kong tataba ako.. Mamahalin ko kahit na alam kong masasaktan ako.

“Hmm. Mulish, huh? I like your choice of words.. Very interesting.” I snapped sarcasticaly. “You can enter politics too, you’re good at commanding.” I rolled my eyes and started eating.

I heard him chuckled. “Why, I am surprised you can still be humorous and whimsical after what happen earlier.” I flushes. Punyemas barabas hestas! Bakit kailangang ipaalala pa? Nasamid tuloy ako..

He handed me a glass of water..

“Are you okay?” his eyes is filled with concern.

“Yes, thanks for being rude.” I replied after I recover.

“I’m sorry. So what are we planning to do? Mukhang may sari-sarili silang ginagawa ngayon.”

“Let’s walk. I wanna take pictures, I brought my SLR with me.” Gusto ko sana siyang kuhanan ng maraming pictures.. Kahit remembrance lang. Baka kasi pagkatapos nito balik na ulit kami sa dati, baka kasi balik na siya ulit kay Laine.

“That’s great.. Go finish your food, magaayos lang ako. Nga pala, may itinayong improvised CR sila Coach sa may likuran ng malaking puno na yan, just for peeing and some usual things pero the bathroom you should use ay yung nasa bahay sa taas okay?” paalala niya na parang tatay. Mas malala pa ata kay Daddy to e,  I just nodded. “If you’re going to use that, tell me so I can guard outside. You can brush your teeth there, just don’t swallow the water, I dont think it’s safe. I don’t want you getting amebiasis. Kung magpapalit ka ng damit sa loob nalang ng tent and zip it right, understand?!”

Seriously? Hindi ba siya hiningal sa speech niya? Ano bang akala sakin ng lalaking to? 6 years old? =_=

“Told ya.You’ll be a good preacher someday.”

“Steffie Lian! Sumagot ka ng maayos.” Ang bilis namang mainis ng gwapong to!

“Opo, sir! I understand.. If you don’t mind, I want to eat in peace.” I wave my hands to shoo him and I continued eating.

Sana may pepero ako. Normally ay hindi ako makakatulog ng hindi ako nakakapapak ng pepero, pero ikaw ba naman ang yakapin ng isang Bryan Harris, hindi pa magiging masarap ang tulog mo diba? Hayyy. Sarap mong asawahin, Bryan. Kagigil!!

After an hour or so ay tapos na din akong mag-ayos ng sarili. Nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa tapat ng bonfire na pwesto namin kagabi. Bigla kong naalala yung white lady incident kagabi.. -_-“ It sends shiver down my spine.

“Bakit ganyan ang suot mo?” sabi ng kamahalan na si Bryan.

I looked at my clothes. What’s wrong? Maong shorts, black comfy t-shirt which paired up with white rubber shoes. “Why? What’s wrong?? This is the most convenient clothes I can wear.”

“I don’t want you get bruises, sigurado naman akong ayaw mo din diba? Magpalit ka ng jogging pants o pantalon..” he stated as if he’s the King of the World and no one would dare to disobey him. Conceited jerk, why do I love you? Love you so much that it aches..

Padabog na bumalik ako sa loob at nagpalit ng jeans. I will never win when he’s concern. Malaking kaimposiblehan na hahayaan niyang hindi masunod ang gusto niya.
