I admit that I was shocked about her remark but still did my best to hide it. Nagkibit balikat nalang ako at nginitian siya. I don't have the time to deal with people like her. It's just a waste.

And since Ilfracombe has an overlooking seaside. Mas dama ang lamig ng hangin mula dito, so I decided to stay for awhile habang si Tiffany ay bumaba na kasama ng mga boys since she felt that I just ignored her completely.

When she was already gone, doon ko mas pinag isipan yung mga salitang sinabi nya. I even texted my brother if what Tiffany said was true about me and Claude, which my brother laughingly replied.

"And so what?" he texted with a laughing smiley afterwards.

"Are you serious?!" I asked again trying to suppress my anger at him. Mabuti naman at naging matino na siya kausap after.

"Don't worry sister, it was just an unofficial statement. Besides, aren't you happy?" he texted back. Dinagdagan pa niya ng "You are actually suppose to be giggling by now since you have a long time crush with Claude. Bakit ngayon ikaw pa ata ang galit?"

Hindi ko na alam how am I suppose to handle this with my brother and because he said that it is just an unofficial statement, hindi ko na siya nireplyan. Mamaya ay kulitin pa niya ako. I will just explain to him everything pag medyo okay na ang sitwasyon namin ni Ulysses, since ilang days palang eversince we became official.

I know this relationship will not be smooth sailing since he is still competing and might be the successor of their conglomerate. Malamang ay marami pa rin ang magiging against sa relasyon namin. I have to get myself ready, and think of a plan for everything that will eventually happens afterwards.

After awhile, bumalik na ako kung saan masayang nag uusap usap ang magkakaibigan. They are actually laughing but Ulysses' smile seemed to fade ng makita akong papalapit. He is sitting right next to Tiffany na halos kumapit na sa braso niya.

Umupo ako sa vacant seat katabi niya and he still remained silent.

Tiffany on the other hand kept looking at me with a grinning expression. Ano nanaman kayang problema ng isang to?

Matapos ng maikling reunion namin with his friends, we decided to buy some groceries and prepare for a movie date since sinusulit talaga namin ang bawat araw ng magkasama.

He became a lot happier than before and told me that this time siya naman ang magpprepare para sa plan namin mamayang gabi.

"What movie would you want to watch?" he even asked me suppressing his laugh. "Horror maybe?" nang aasar niyang suggestion.

Tinapunan ko nga siya ng unan sa mukha at mas lalo pa siyang tumawa. "Don't use my phobia for your own benifit" simangot kong sabi.

He chuckled. "Why would I?" nagkunwari pa siya na nagpapaka inosente as if I would buy that.

I rolled my eyes at ang loko mas lalo talagang tumawa. "I still remember the first time I saw you so scared nung nagpunta tayo sa theme park. I didn't really expect you to be scared of the dark, ghost and everything related to that. Seriously? the strong independent Ivanessa I know, I was suprised but I actually found you so cute" he reminisced habang ako hiyang hiya na sa mga sinasabi niya. I even hide my face under the pillow!
