Lex's PoV
I found myself sitting at the single couch while Clane is sitted to my lap. Lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin. Ewan ko ba pero kinikilabutan ako sa mga titig nila. Hindi kasi ako sanay na may nakatingin sa akin. "Ate Lex would you play with me?" I stared down at Clane who's looking at me with his puppy eyes. Oh gosh, not with puppy eyes.
"Clane, I already asked ate Lex to spend time with me." Seath countered. This makes Clane pout." But you attend at the same school. Isn't it enough?" Clane argued. "You two, stop it okay?" Awat ko sa kanila. Baka mamaya magkaroon ng sibling rivalry ng dahil sa akin. I don't want that to happen.
"Mukhang wala na pala akong problema. Akala ko ii-snob ka ni Clane dahil may pagka-snobber ang batang yan. It makes me curious though. Why does he know you?" Nakatingin sa akin si tita Den habang pinagmamasdan ako. Even the others are staring at me. "Should I tell them ate Lex?" And he looked up to me. I smiled as a go signal. Bumaba sya sa pagkakaupo sa akin.
"I met Ate Lex at the mall... when I was lost..." He looked directly to the Black D. who's now scratching their heads. Its their fault anyway.
Shame on you. -_-
Puzzled, Tita Claudine ask. "Your lost?! How come sweety? Kuya Clyde's with you."
"Mom, I uhh.... I kinda... lost sight of him?" Pasimple akong natawa dahil hindi sya sigurado sa huling sinabi nya. Pinaningkitan sya ng mata ni tita pero pumagitna sa kanila si Clane. "Mom, don't be mad at him. It's my fault I lost. I was looking around the mall and too fascinated and I became careless." Bumuntong hininga na lang si Tita. "And besides mom..." Clane looked back at me wearing a genuine smile. His gray eyes sparkled with amazement. (And those eyes reminded me of Clyde since his eyes are also gray.) "If it didn't happen. I wouldn't meet ate Lex. " then he walked towards me and hug me. As a return I kissed his cheek.
"Oh no, may katunggali ka na Clyde." Tumawa sila sa biro ni Kioji. I mentally rolled my eyes and put Clane on my lap. Clane's face shows confusion at Kioji. "What do you mean kuya Ji?" Takang tanong nito. Ngumisi naman ang ilan kay Clyde. "Well, your kuya Clyde is courting your ate Lex." Walang pag aalinlangang sabi ni Rav. Tita Den and Seath gaped at me while Clane was unmoving on his spot.
"Oh my gosh! Is it true?!" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni tita. Lumapit pa sya sa akin para makasigurado.
"Wag kayong maniwala tita. Pinagti-tripan lang po ako ng Clytard na yan." Sabi ko at sinamaan ng tingin si Clytard na nakatingin sa akin. Sasagot na sana sya ng marinig namin ang tawa ni kuya Eron. Kung hindi lang nakakalong sa akin si Clane nabato ko na sya ng sapatos. Kung makatawa naman kasi ay parang inaasar ako.
"Nah, Clyde isn't kidding. He was serious about courting you." Nakangiting tugon nya. Bakit ba sinasabi nilang seryoso si Clytard? We're enemies, we're opposite, we don't match at all. That's why I really don't understand. They intriguing us but they don't even know how we started, how we met. Its just, it didn't make any sense.
"No! That can't be. Right ate Lex?" Lahat kami ay nagulat sa sinabi ni Clane. Even I, was caught off guard to his sudden out burst. Tumayo sya sa hita ko at ako'y kanyang hinarap. He has this teary eyed with a pout on his lips expression.
Gosh, so adorable. ×_×
"What's wrong?" I ask worriedly. Pinaupo ko sya ng paharap sa akin at inilalayan ang kanyang likod para hindi sya mahulog. "Your not willing to be courted do you?"
O_o- ako
O_O- sila
(T ^ T)- Clane
The question struck me causing me not to answer. Now look what they did. I don't like this kind of questions and yet those bozos started the conversation and ended up like this. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko kaya nanatili akong tahimik. I'd would like to say no to him like I usually do. But the weird thing about me was, I can't find the answer. Like I was confuse of what to answer. Hindi naman nangyayari ito sa akin dahil straight forward ako. But, there's something with the question that leave me confuse. And to be honest, I don't like it.
"Clane let's go. Your dad is waiting for us." Yaya ni tita Claudine kay Clane. He pouts as an answer and look at me. Buti naman at nabasa ni tita ang kalagayan ko. After all, she knows why. Wordless, Clane kiss me on the cheeks and went to his mother. He hold his mother's hand before looking back at me. "I'll see you when I come back okay?" He beamed. "Alright. I'll wait for you." I assured. He smiled at me and they took off.
"Mukhang may kaagaw ka na talaga Clyde. Ayaw paligawan ni Clane si Lex." Sinabayan pa ng ni Rav ng halakhak ang kanyang sinabi. Napailing na lang si Jaeidy at tinapik sa balikat si Clytard. "Simulan mo nang gumawa ng schedule para hindi kayo magkasabay ni Clane dahil mukhang i-entertain din ni Lex ang bunso mong kapatid." Tinawanan nila si Clytard. Jaeidy should not spend his time to Rav and Kioji. His now inheriting their mischief.
"Baliw, ang tunay na tanong dun: Balak bang mag paligaw si Lex kay Clyde? Dahil sa nakikita ko mukhang hindi eh." Nakisali na rin sa pang aasar si Gyliard na kanina pang nakikinig sa mga usapan. Mag sasalita na nga lang sya, biro pa tungkol sa akin. Isa isa ko silang tatapikin sa noo eh. Nag kukwentuhan na nga lang tungkol sa isang tao yung kaharap pa nila. Nandito lang kaya ako, mga abnormal na 'to.
"Hindi ko pa sya nililigawan. Ayaw nya eh..." Tinawanan naman sya ng iba. "Pero kapag nalaman ko ang tunay na pangalan nya. Sa ayaw at sa gusto nya, liligawan ko yan. That's our deal." Sabi nito habang nakatingin sa akin ng seryoso. Walang bahid ng kalokohan ang kanyang expression. I heard kuya's whistle and my gaze turn to him." Tunay na pangalan ba kamo? Oh that's easy. Her real name is-" naputol ang kanyang sasabihin ng makita ang ekspresyon ko. Staring at him seriously means that I'm not liking what he said. Napakamot sya sa kanyang pisngi at tumingin kay Clytard.
"I guess mapapatagal ang panliligaw mo."
"I can wait."
