Seducing Mr. Sungit

Chapter 11

Aislin Laurel

Mabilis na lumipas ang mga araw. Grabe, parang panaginip lang ang lahat. Hindi lang talaga ako makapaniwala na I'm dating Yoseff! Magkasabay kami laging pumapasok at umuuwi. Nag-usap kami ni Eina tungkol doon.

I asked her if it's alright kung lagi akong sumasabay kay Yoseff..dahil it means that she has to go home alone.

"Mare..sigurado kang okay lang?"

She smiled. Sincereness is visible in her eyes.

"Oo naman, grabe, nagkikita naman tayo dito sa school at nagha-hangout naman tayo after school. Alam kong parang dream come true 'yan para sa'yo and I would be a shìtty friend if I take that away from you..."  She smiled. I hugged her tight.

"Thank you, mare." I whispered as I rested my chin on her shoulder. We pulled away.

"Wala 'yun...tsaka busy naman ako twing lunchtime kay Sir. Orvilla!" She giggled like a schoolgirl.

Napaawang ang mga labi ko.

"Wag kang green minded. He's tutoring me!" Defensive na sagot niya.

Dahan-dahan akong napatango.

"Right...tutoring..." Malisyosa kong sagot.

Tinawanan niya lang ako.

So yeah, there's that. I offered her na sabay siya sa amin ni Yoseff pero ayaw niya. I am really thankful that I have a very supportive bestfriend like her. I am lucky that I have her in my life. Lunchtime ngayon at kasama niya si Mr. Orvilla sa library. Nagpapaturo siya sa Chemistry. 'Yon kasi ang pinakamababa niyang subject and the counselor suggested na she should get tutored.

May iba din siyang subject na kailangan ng tulong and Mr. Orvilla is there.

Kasalukuyan kami naglalakad patungo sa usual spot namin ni Yoseff. We're holding hands. The feeling of him beside me is just really comforting. Magsisimula na ang exams next week. It's going to be one of hell week. Kaya napagusapan namin ni Yoseff na sabay kaming mag-a-aral mamaya.

Maybe we're just going to a coffee shop or somewhere quiet.

Namataan ko naman si Cedric na naglalakad sa opposite direction namin. Naka-basketball jersey siya.

"Hi, Aila!" Masiglang bati niya. I smiled at him. 

I felt Yoseff tensed. He really hates Cedric.

We paused. Bumaba ang tingin ni Cedric sa mga kamay namin. 

"O-oh, Hi Yoseff."

Yoseff just nodded at him. Humigpit ang hawak ni Yoseff sa kamay ko.

"K-kayo na?" Nauutal niyang tanong.

Akmang sasagot ako nang unahan ako ni Yoseff.

"Oo, bakit? May problema ka?" His voice was low.

Umiling lang si Cedric. He smiled at me again pero hindi na ganoon kasigla.

"Oh, cool..see you around." Mabilis siyang naglakad palayo.

Kumunoy ang noo ko. What's his deal?

Umupo na kami sa ilalim ng puno. Inilabas ko ang mahiwagang spaghetti na lagi niyang nire-request sa akin. Samantalang siya ay may dalang isang lunchbox ng sliced carrots at celeries. May ranch din na dip iyon.

We sat there.

"How was your day?" Tanong niya at sinubuan ako ng carrot. I chewed it.

He really looks gorgeous. Naka-suot siya ng uniform. As usual but it fits him perfectly. Medyo gulo-gulo ang kanyang brown curly hair. I always run my hands in his soft hair. His brown eyes always look so mysterious and brooding. His strong jawline, his pale complexion and that lips..
