"Ano 'yan?" tanong ko nang bumalik na sa kotse si Travis. We went out because we have to do groceries. He put a clear cage on the back seat which has something inside.

"Tarantula," sambit niya nang makaupo na sa driver's seat.

"What the? Aalagaan mo?" gulat kong tanong.

"Uhuh pogi, e. Bakit? Gusto mo ba ikaw lang alagaan ko?" he smirked. He started turning the steering wheel.

"Ew, no! Tarantula amputa," I said, confused.

Why would he pet such thing? Nilingon ko ang nilagay niya sa likod. Gumagalaw 'yon sa parang mukhang buhangin sa loob ng lalagyan. I clenched my teeth when I think of it walking on my skin.

Travis chuckled when he saw my face. "Hoy! Kung may binabalak ka mang katarantaduhan, 'wag mo na ituloy," seryoso kong sabi nang iba ang naramdaman sa tawa niya.

He laughed harder not glancing me. "Stop laughing!" I demanded. My brows were furrowed at him.

"You're making me laugh. So ikaw dapat ang tumigil," aniya. I hissed and rolled my eyes.

Hindi nalang ako nagsalita hanggang makarating na kami sa supermarket.

"Ako nalang babanggit ng items," sambit ko nang kumuha na kami ng push cart.

"Okay," sagot naman nito. Mukhang mas marunong siyang bumili, e.

I comfortably put my hand on the cart and started walking. I'm wearing a shoes so my wound will not get exposed. It's kind of near to heal because it was just a scrape.

"Honey," banggit ko habang hawak ang grocery list.

"Yes, hun?" Travis playfully asked, smirking.

"No, what the fuck?" I looked at him in annoyance.

Tumawa muna siya bago kumuha ng sinabi ko. Nilagay niya 'yon sa push cart
na may laman nang iba pang pagkain. Nasa fruit section naman na kami ngayon.

"Scarlet, what's this?" he raised a fruit.

"Duh, lime," I answered. He looked dumb.

"No."

"Yes it is! Bob—" I looked at him, irritated but he cut me off.

"No. It's.. lime yours," he laughed and put it back. I faked a laugh and continued pushing the cart.

"Scarlet," he called and so I glared at him again.

"I think we'd make a cute pear," he smiled like a kid while holding the fruit.

I hissed before rolling my eyes. "Corny mo naman."

Napunta naman kami ngayon sa liquor section. "Wala naman sa list ang alak," sabi ko. Kumukuha na siya ng beer.

"Konti lang," he defended.

Someone went near us and she asked for a picture. Travis and I both agreed and he was the one who held the phone for groupfie. We all did a peace sign on the second shot.

"Thank you po! I'm a fan of yours ate Scarlet," he informed me while making a soft face.

"Aw," I reacted and hugged her. Travis took a picture of us, too.
