My Safe Place (COF Series #2)

Chapter 12

I didn't expect my mom's response.

"what? why?" I ask obviously confused.

"kasi halata naman na good boy si Ethan, and I know that you're safe with him" paliwanag niya, and I saw my dad shaking his head. I can't believe that my mom is saying those stuffs!

I didn't reply and just looked at her before I continue eating.

something's fishy, i can feel it.

I went back up to my room after eating. I took a bath and wore a cardigan crop top, high waist wide leg pants, and a pair of white adidas. I sat on my vanity table to do my make up, my go to is a natural look.

after getting myself ready, umupo lang ako sa mini couch sa room ko and waited for Ethan to arrive.

ang usapan namin ay lunch time, and maaga pa naman kaya tatambay muna ako dito sa room ko.

"Angela! Ethan's here!" rinig kong sigaw ni mommy mula sa baba. I shook my head and went downstairs.

pagdating ko ay nakitang kong kinakausap ni mommy si Ethan. I quickly went over to them, and faced my mom.

"mommy wala ba kayong lakad ni daddy?" tanong trying to cut off their conversation.

"wala, we decided na it's our rest day. anyways Ethan--" I immediately cut her off by pulling Ethan.

"tara na para maaga tayo maka uwi" sabi ko at hinila siya palabas.

"Ethan dito ka na mag dinner ha!" pahabol ni mommy.

Ethan shouted back "yes po!"

"what were you guys talking about?" tanong ko nang makasakay kami sa sasakyan.

"nothing important actually, sinabi niya lang na ang gwapo ko daw tapos ang bait ko pa" sabi niya, I think there's more than that pero hindi ko na siya tinanong pa.

nakarating kami sa mall, and since we arrive kinda late we decided to eat our late lunch muna since hindi pa kami kumakain.

we ate at an Italian restaurant mainly to eat pasta.

we were eating peacefully. until..

"Vivian, pustiso ka ba?" here he come again with his corny jokes. I mentally shook my head.

"bakit?"

"kasi I can't smile without you" pagsabi niya non ay siya naman ang kinilig. aren't I supposed to be the one who's kinikilig?

"eto isa pa" oh gosh. save me

"nung makita kita nalowbat ako" I looked at him confused.

"nalowbat first sight, yiee" kinilig ulit siya sa sarili niyang pick up line. napatawa nalang ako because of his reaction, he look so innocent but not really. what will I do about him.

"okay titigil na ko, baka isipin mo pa baliw ako" sabi niya kaya tinawanan ko siya.

"ngayon mo lang naisip yan?"

"wait baliw pala talaga ako"

"baliw sayo" sabi niya atsaka tumawa. I just shook my head and laughed, I can't help but laugh at his reaction. 

"where are we going next?" tanong ko sa kanya pagkataos naming kumain.

"ano ba gusto mong gawin? movies? shopping? arcade?" he asked.

"arcade muna tayo, and then shopping!" I excitedly said.

"dance battle tayo oh" paghahamon niya sa akin.

"you better get ready to lose then" I accepted his challenge.

"nako baka di mo alam, parehas kami ng galawan ni J-Hope" sabi niya while doing a wave dance. I stopped him immediately dahil may mga batang naka tingin sa amin.
