The Duchess Sneakers (Lausingco Series #6)

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen

Kinabukasan ay day off ako kaya medyo tinanghali na ako ng gising. Saglit akong nanatili sa kama at paulit ulit inisip ang ginawang kanta ni Sir Pio.

I know that I shouldn't be thinking about that but I can't help it. May hustisya ang ginawa nyang pagkanta doon.

Matapos kong ma-absorb ang pagkagising ko ay lumabas na ako. Nasalubong ko si Nana Lita na lumabas ng kusina.

"Oh, buti gising ka na. May pagkain na jan."

"Where are you going, Nana Lita?"

"May pupuntahan lang ako saglit ha. Babalik din ako mamaya."

I arched my brow and crossed my arms over my chest.

"I told you to stop accepting clothes to washed, Nana Lita. I have work, we can live."

Natawa sya at pinisil ang pisngi ko tulad nang ginagawa nya dati sakin.

"Hindi ako maglalabada. Pupuntahan ko lang iyong pinadalang mga kutkutin ng kapatid ko."

Kahit hindi ko naintindihan iyong sinabi nya ay tumango nalang ako.

"Take care po."

"I will. Eat your breakfast now."

I GOT bored after taking bath. Wala pa si Nana Lita kaya I've decided to go out for awhile.

I wore white tshirt and a jean plus my white sneakers. I didn't bother fixing my hair. Binitbit ko nalang ang wallet at cellphone ko matapos kong maglapat ng cheek tint sa pisngi ko.

Tinext ko si Nana Lita na lalabas lang ako saglit. She replyed okay and pauwi na daw sya.

I searched a good coffee shop here. Sabi sa google map, Home Gallery daw. Hindi naman ako nahirapan paghahanap kasi kitang kita sya agad kung nasaan ako.

I jogged my way there. Pagpasok ko, good vibes agad ang sumalubong sa akin. I walked straight to counter.

"Good Morning Madam,"

"One machiatto expresso and just waffles."

"Tall po?"

"Yes."

She punched my order. I paid for it and waited. Binitbit ko ang tray at agad na nakahanap ng table.

I settled there and place my order on my table. I fished out my phone to took a photo of it. Tinikman ko agad yung waffles because seriously speaking, I love waffles without any explination okay?

Umayos ako at sinandal yung phone ko sa tissue box para makuhanan ang sarili ko. Binuhat ko iyong kape ko and I smiled before clicking the timer.

But then I pouted, my picture is not perfect. I tried it one more time but unfortunately, its not perfect again. Once again, I tried it and again.

"There.. I think it's perfect now."

Napaayos ako ng upo nang pag angat ko ng mata ko ay nakita ko si Sir Pio with his coffee, wearing his black slack, white dress shirt with his black coat. He immediately smiled at me.

"Check it. Ulitin ko kung hindi maganda."

Sir Pio handed me his phone. I was feeling awkward.

He brushed up his hair. Sa totoo lang, mas sanay akong suot nya ay casual clothes kesa sa naka suit and tie sya. Mas lalo syang mahirap abutin kapag ganito ang suot.

Wait, what are you saying, Justine?

Umupo sya sa harapan ko nang abutin ko iyong cellphone nya. My mouth parted when I saw that he took three pictures of me. Okay naman iyong kuha nya.
