Stay away

"Ate, there's something wrong with the cookies. Did you forget to add butter?" Kinagat niya pa ulit ang cookie para tikman. One of her brows arose, her face looks like there's really something wrong.

Nagtaka ako kaya kumuha rin ako ng isa. Kinagat ko 'yon and shit! It's like the combination of sweet and salty na walang lasa! Can you imagine that? Kahit ako hindi ko alam.

How can my cookies taste like this? Masarap ang mga cookie ko!

"There's something wrong....But it's fine. We have other foods prepared!" Kinuha niya ang cookie sa kamay ko at binalik iyon sa tray.

Yeena being Yeena, she's always so sweet. Hindi mo talaga mararamdaman na may mali ka kapag siya ang kasama mo.

"Hey, am I late?" Bumalik ang tingin ko sa kanila nang marinig ang boses ni Eagan.

Hindi ko sinasadyang mabitawan ang braso ni Yeena dahil sa excitement ko when I saw him. I didn't know he's also here!

"Hold your horses, Lull." Hinawakan niya pa ang braso ko nang muntik akong matalisod sa harap niya.

Do I seem so excited ba? Hindi naman siguro, right?

"Uh, no one said you're coming." He slowly removed his hold on my arm.

Pinagpag ko ang braso ko at hinintay ang sagot niya.

I also saw the confused look on Yino and Klei's eyes. Probably wondering why I acted that way.

Na-excite lang naman ako.

"Yeah, 'cos it's a surprise?" He said that full of sarcasm.

I rolled my eyes.

"I assume you baked cookies...." Pinunasan niya ang kaliwang part ng lip ko.

Hinawakan ko rin iyon to follow up what he did.

Yino faked a cough causing us to shift our looks at him. "May tao rito, ha? Don't do these lovey doveys in front of me. Nananapak ako ng pinsang hilaw."

One of my brows arose. Pinsang hilaw?

What kind of word is that?

"Jowa mo?" Napalingon ako kay Klei na nagtanong.

Why does he care?

Hindi ako sumagot at tumingin lang kay Eagan, his look is also on Klei now.

"Well, if she's gonna say yes then...." I felt their eyes shifted at me.

Umiling lang ako sa kanila saka tumalikod. "Ewan ko sa inyo, let's just eat and have fun, okay?" Kinuha ko ang bag ko sa kanila saka iyon ipinatong sa countertop ng kusina.

"Waa! Kuya Eagan's here!" Nanakbo si Yeena para magpabuhat sa kan'ya.

Oh, yes. He's just really cute when he has little kids around him.

"You're getting heavy now, huh?" Bahagya pa siyang bumwelo para buhatin si Yeena.

"Sit down now, everyone. Let's eat first." Tumayo si Yino mula sa couch saka nanguna sa dining.

Naka-handa na pala lahat sa table. Kami nalang pala ang kulang.

Saglit akong tumingin kay Deava only for me to see Klei pulling the chair for her.

Slow and gentle. You can see how he cares for her.

Itinuon ko nalang ang pansin sa mesa. Good thing the foods prepared are all delicious.
