Montenegro Brothers Series 1 - MIGUEL

Chapter 30

Nagpe-prepare ako ng breakfast namin ni Guillianne. She's having her morning sickness again, kaya hindi ko na siya hinayaan pang bumaba para kumain. I'm pretty sure, nakakapanghina 'yung panay niyang pagsuka.

I already asked the doctor kung anong pwede niyang inumin na gamot para sa morning sickness niya, pero wala namang inireseta ang doktor para doon, puro vitamins lang. That's normal, the doctor said.

"Bonjour, baby"

I felt a warm breath on my right shoulder as a pair of arm enveloped me from my back. Base sa boses niya, alam ko na kung sino siya. Hinarap ko siya at di ako nagkamali. She flashes her sweetest smile ever before she kissed me on the lips.

"You smell like strawberries, baby"

I wrinkled my forehead dahil sa sinabi niya, at dahil na din sa paghalik niya sakin. Why do Europeans, love kissing? They're making it their culture. Kung di ko lang kaibigan itong si Stefanie, baka nasigawan ko na siya.

"Why are you here, Stefanie?"

She walked with poise papunta sa refrigerator. Rinig na rinig sa buong kitchen 'yung tunog ng heels ng suot niyang red pumps. Kinuha niya 'yung bawas ng wine doon at nagsalin sa wine glass na nasa may kitchen counter.

Naupo siya with her legs crossed. Pinaikot ikot niya 'yung glass of wine na nasa kamay niya.

"Why didn't you even tell me that you're going back here in Paris. After following you in London? I didn't even get a simple notice from you. How silly?"

She was about to take a sip nang kuhanin ko iyong hawak hawak niya.

"Too early for this, Stef."

"Oh, wow. Concern? That's new."

Napailing ako sa sinabi niyang iyon. I'm really concerned with her. Siguro, madalas ay hindi niya iyon napapansin kasi she's always asking for more. Well, I can't give her more, but I'm trying to be nice to her.

Well, malaki rin ang utang na loob ko kay Stefanie. Siya 'yung tumulong sa akin para kahit papaano ay makapag adjust ako sa European culture, way back then. Five years ago she made her self my girl best friend, but after about two years, she started to get so clingy. Lagi na siyang nagagalit when a girl approaches me. She'll tell everyone that she's my girlfriend, but she's really not. I almost hated her, but I can't. She's still important, she's like a younger sister to me.

She also helped me in building my first really owned business dito sa Paris, a restaurant. Lahat naman kasi ng business na mayroon ako ngayon, lahat iyon galing kay dad. That's why I decided to have my really owned business, 'yung ako ang nagtayo at bumuo hindi 'yung basta ko na lang nakuha dahil  may tatay ako na isang chinese business man. Tinulungan ako doon ni Stefanie, we're partners.

I hugged her and tried to comfort her from whatever she's feeling right now.

"Well, I'm sorry. Have you eaten you're breakfast?"

She shook her head. Kinuha ko 'yung box of cereals na paborito ni Stefanie pati na din utensils at isinama iyon sa tray na may pagkain for me and of course for Guillianne.

"Let's go upstairs"

I saw her face lightened nang sabihin ko iyon.

"At your room?"

I nodded at napangiti naman siya. I really don't understand her. She loves getting inside my room. Tumayo siya mula sa upuan at hinila ng kaunti 'yung fitted black dress niya. Kinuha niya 'yung box of cereals at niyakap iyon.

"I'll bring this"

Napailing na lang ako, and I started our way.
