Seven and Nine (FIN)

Thirty Six

Number Thirty Six

Shan's

Araw ko sa volunteer team kanina at just like any other night, nagkkwentuhan kami after our shift kasama si Seven.

"You need some help?"

"As if you know how to cook, Seven"

"It's just a tea, Shan. You gotta be kidding me"

"Hahahaha. I just feel like teasing you"

Nandito kasi ako sa loob ng bahay preparing teas after namin magdinner ng pumasok si Seven. Naglagay na lang sya ng milk sa maliit na pot para sa pagserve.

"It feels great to be in a small kitchen"

"Conceited haha"

"I'm only telling the truth. Everything's been laid in front of me so I'm wondering"

"Overconceited!"

Nagulat ako ng kurutin ni Seven ang kaliwang pisngi ko while laughing his heart out.

"Ehem!" sabay kaming napalingon ng makita si Trish na nasa doorway ng kitchen.

"Do you need something, Trish?" yung seryosong mukha ni Trish, biglang napalitan ng ngiti ng kausapin sya ni Seven. Head over heels talaga ata sya kay Seven haha. Pano pa kaya pag nalaman nyang sya si Seven Lee na missing superstar. Kawawang Darwin.

"I need you beside me, Seven. Come on! Let Shan handle it" umabrisyete sya sa braso ni Seven saka hinila palabas ng bahay.

"But--"

"That would be fine, right Shan?"

"Yup. I'll be back in a minute. Go on"

Tiningnan pa ko ni Seven bago nagpaakay kay Trish palabas. Kumuha muna ko ng ilang red apples saka binalatan tapos nilagay na rin sa tray para ilabas. I really like fruits more than chips eh haha. Akin lang to bwahahaha.

"Here's your teas!" I announced paglabas ko. Nakita kong yung pwesto ko kanina sa tabi ni Seven, inoccupy na ni Trish kaya dun na lang ako sa pwesto nya kanina nakaupo. Katabi ko na ngayon si Darwin at Lian. Inabot ko muna sa kanila ang mga cups nila saka ko kinuha yung tinidor para kumain ng sliced apple na ginawa ko.

"What took you so long, Shan?"

"These" tinuro ko ang apple na hawak ko at ngumiti kay Lian.

"I like the chips better haha" saka sya kumain ng chips na nasa harap nya. Takaw haha.

"What's with the long face, Darwin?" siniko ko pa sya kasi nakapangalumbaba sya sa tabi ko. He looks at me pouting. Ang cute lang talaga pag lalaki ang nagppout ano? Hahaha.

"Trish sat beside Seven" nilingon ko naman si Trish na tuwang tuwang nagkkwento kay Seven. Si Jenna naman nakasimangot sa tabi ni Seven haha. Si Sam ayun busy sa pagbabasa habang umiinom ng tea. Bookworm haha.

"You really like her?"

"I love her. There's a big difference"

"Yay foolishly in love haha"

"What do you think of Seven? Is he really greater than me to have all the nurses in our team swoon over him? I'm much attractive ya know"

"Haha. Of course you are, Darwin"

Attractive naman din talaga si Darwin eh. Pero siguro kasi, Americans go crazy over Asians in a way because they like someone different. Besides, Seven is cool. Mukha pang anime hahahaha.

"Really??" nagulat pa ko ng hawakan ni Darwin ang dalawang kamay ko. Ganun ba to kaobsessed sa compliment at tuwang tuwa sya? Pambihira haha.

"Yeah. You are attractive so care to let go of my hand?"
