Best Mistake | Micci

He effortlessly reached for the box at iniabot yun sa akin.

"This one's pretty huh." sabi niya at tinignan iyon ng masinsinan.

"Kaya ko inaabot yun kasi gusto kong ipakita sayo. Demonyo na 'to pinagtawanan pa ako!" I hissed at sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"You're crazy." sabi niya and he smirked, "I'm gonna buy this." sabi niya at diretsong pumunta sa counter. Hmp!

"Wala man lang “thank you!”?" I said while crossing my arms. Tinignan niya lang ako at ngumiti ng nakakaloko.

Demonyo talaga 'tong unggoy!

"I need to go back to dorm, Ricci." I said while looking at my wrist watch.

"May training kami. Coach will kill me!" I lied at tumawa naman siya, "try lying harder, small bean. Wala kayong training ngayon." sabi niya at pinitik ang noo ko.

"And, we're not done yet. Sasamahan mo pa ako sa birthday ni Riley." he said and went out of the store.

"Ha? Ano? Natulungan na kita. I need to go Ricci." I pleaded dahil ayoko ng makasama tong tukmol na to!

"Magrereklamo ka o tatawagan ko si Joshua para sabihin lahat ng plano?" Ricci smirked while raising his eyebrows left to right.

"Sabi ko nga sasama ako. Saan ba birthday nun?" I said and automatically walk my way to the carpark.

"We're here." sabi niya. He unbuckled his seatbelt at lumabas ng sasakyan. Nasa harap kami ng restaurant at hindi ko alam kung papasok ako o hindi. Bigla naman bumukas ang pinto na nasa gilid ko at bumungad ang itsura ni Ricci na nakangiti ng nakakaloko.

"Come on, small bean. Don't be hardheaded." sabi niya at inilahad niya ang kamay niya sa akin pero hindi ko yun pinansin at lumabas ng sasakyan.

Ricci immediately went over me at tumatawa siyang inakbayan ako. I want to punch him on the face!

"Good morning Ma'am and Sir." the staff greeted us.

"Reservation for Paolo Rivero," he said casually. "Follow me sir." sabi naman nung staff and we went our way to the vip room.

"Hoy teka muna. Hindi naman ako nainform na kasama ako dito." singhal ko sa kanya at ngumisi naman siya, "Don't worry my family's nice. They don't eat beans." he said and smirked.

Tumago ako sa likod ni Ricci at nagpatuloy siyang pumasok sa loob. My eyes widened when I saw Kuya Prince with others.

Oh. My. God.

"Anak!" a beautiful lady said at pumunta kay Ricci para yakapin siya.

"Hi mom, I miss you." sabi naman ni Ricci at hinalikan niya ito sa pisngi.

Mom?

"Sino kasama mo?" tanong niya at hinila naman ako ni Ricci paharap and saw his mom smiling at me.

Seryoso? Nanay ba 'to?

Ang ganda!

"I want you to meet, small bean." sabi niya. His mom smiled at bigla akong niyakap.

"Hello. Nice to meet you." she said and she gladly offer her hand.

"Nice to meet you din po Tita?" I smiled nervously dahil hindi ko siya kilala. "Just call me Tita Abi." she said at ngumiti ulit siya.
