Whelving Warmth
Chapter 14

"I don't know if it's just because we didn't see each other for a while, pero parang mas gumanda ka."

I can't help to roll my eyes with what Theo said. We're currently in the lobby of his condo.

Sinabi ko sa kanya na yung sasakyan ko nalang ang dalin namin dahil may dala akong pagkain para sa mga bata. Since I'm going to spend the entire day with them, I want them to treat me nicer.

I just hope that they can be tame down by food.

Binato ko sa kanya yung susi ng kotse na nasalo niya naman, "We only didn't see each other for three days."

He gasped exaggeratedly, "Weh? Three days lang yun? Akala ko three years!" sabi niya at pahabol akong sinundan para akbayan ako.

"Was it my fault?" natatawa kong tanong sa kanya.

"Sorry na nga. Busy kasi talaga," he explained. "Ayaw mo naman ako padaanin sa inyo."

"Out of way!"

"So?" arogante niyang sabi. "Takot ka lang makita ako ng daddy mo," asar niya.

Sinimangutan ko siya.

Before going to his business trip, daddy made sure that he went home early this week. I was so glad because we were able to spent dinner together for an entire week after quite a long time.

And because Theo and I were both so busy, we weren't able to see each other since last Wednesday.

I learned that Theo is a very clingy guy, he kept on calling me kahit parehas kaming may ginagawa. Sometimes I can even hear him discussing something related to his studies with his friends through the phone.

He told me that it feels weird when he can't see and talk to me.

Bago kasi yun, halos araw-araw kami magkasama. There was a time that Yvette joked that she's jealous of Theo. Mas priority ko pa raw yung boy friend ko kesa sa kanya na bestfriend ko. Tinawanan ko nalang siya sa sinabi niya.

Since we can't see each other when are in our school, Theo asked me if he can visit me in our house after his dismissal but I said no. May class siya na nine na yung tapos, nandito na si daddy non.

Anong sasabihin ko kapag nakita siya ni daddy?

Until now, I can't help but to feel guilty because I'm hiding something to my dad. I feel like a bad child.

But I just can't stop spending time with Theo.

"Ang dami naman! Anong meron? Birthday party?" bungad ni Theo pagkakita ng mga pagkain sa passenger seat. I take out those from a local fast food chain.

"That's for the kids. The toys that come together with the food are in the trunk," I informed him as I sat in the shotgun seat. "Pakilabas nalang later, ha?"

Ngiting-ngiti naman siya sa akin habang hinahanda na patakbuhin ang sasakyan, "Thank you for your effort."

"Do you think they'll like it?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Sobra!" he spared a glance at me, "Pero para saan ba yan?"

"It seems like they don't like me when we went there!" sumbong ko sa kanya. I can still remember how they distance themselves to me. It made me frown, "Maybe, they'll be nicer if I'll give them those."

Natawa siya habang nagmamaneho. I was able to see his side profile properly. I was so tempted to poke his dimples. He looks so good today, parang hindi nastress sa mga inaaral niya ngayong linggo.
