Blood from Roses

Tonight, we stayed in the hideout, Bell and Kyda have no idea about the tape. I'm spacing out while Trevor is solving the board where multiple pictures are pasted in. Luke is trying to calm himself so he wouldn't burst out in front of Bell. He solved math problems again.

What a weird hobby.

I sighed. I unconsciously blink when Luke snapped his finger in front of the preoccupied me. I glared at him. "Dude, you’re spacing out. Why don’t you exercise then do what Trevor is doing."

I give him a disgusted look. "I am good,and he’s boring. I’m sick of looking at that." Sabay tingin sa mga litratong kanina pa pinagmamasdan ni Trevor.

Our gaze went to the door when Bell suddenly came into the picture.

Huminga ng malalim si Luke bago ngumisi. "Hi babe, you’re late." Nakatingin lang ako sa kanila na may ngisi sa labi.

Don't let her know!

She rolls her eyes and sits next to him.
"I had a dinner date,"

I saw the pain on Luke's eyes. I know it hurts, but he smiled cheerfully. "WHAT?! ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME!"

I slapped Luke’s right shoulder.

"Bro! That hurts, never tolerate a cheater." Tumawa naman ako dahil sa daing niya.

"She’s not your girlfriend." Mabuti na rin at hindi pa kayo. Karma niya na siguro 'to sa paglalaro ng mga babae.

He tapped my shoulder then winked at Bell. "She’s not my girlfriend... yet."

Bell frowned, "Excuse me? I talked to my father."

Luke sat properly, "What Dad said? When will I meet him? What should I bring? Do I need to bring animals? Goats, horses and cows? Uh.. flowers? Should I bring gallons of water and what else?"

Magaling talaga umarte ang mokong. Saglit kong nilingon si Trevor. Tahimik niyang pinagmamasdan ang galaw namin. Para bang may nireresolbang problema, para banag may hinahanap.

Bell snorted, "You're really crazy."

Luke smiles widely. "Only to you~"

Trevor coughed as He sit in front of the screen. "Is there something new in prison? What happened to the black rose?"

Mabilis akong lumingon kay Luke na umiiling ngayon. "I think none, Kyda isn't saying 'bout anything."

I tries to avoid Bell’s gaze. "Now, I just want her out of those bars." Kung pwede ko lang siya itanan at ilayo sa mundong ginagalawan namin ay gagawin ko.

"We're almost there, let them take their time."

Tinitigan ko si Trevor. Masyado siyang nagpapahalata, eh ang usapan namin ay sikreto lang.

I choke on my own saliva when Bell speak up. "Why don’t you share with us something you solve?" Syempre hindi naman siya tanga para hindi mapansin iyon.

I looked at Trevor but this guy just shrugged his shoulders.

She smirked, "Are you a traitor?" I stiffened because of what she said. The audacity to say it huh?
