BTP KABANATA 4

After that night happened, I became distant to Satan to the point I always ditch Nico. It's been days since I last talked to Satan and I'm dying to see him already. Minsan tinitignan ko lang siya sa malayo o kaya naman tumatambay sa library kung saan siya nag-aaral.

I'm planning to talk to him later since I'll treat Nico today. I will ask him out too. I need to act as if he didn't shake my world because of what he did a few nights ago. Napapangiti pa rin ako tuwing naaalala ko 'yon. He's so attractive. Damn.

"Girl," Kev poked me. "Have you seen the Alexander Wang Belt Bag design of Bvlgari?" he asked.

I nodded. "I already bought it last week." It's a nice bag, so I think it's worth it. It was an impulsive choice, but I felt happy when it arrived.

"Which color did you bought? Yaman talaga, ayaw mo bang ishare?" He sat next to me and rest his back. Kinuha niya ang inumin na nasa harap ko. Hindi ko pa naiinom 'yon pero naunahan na niya ako.

"I bought everything. I can't choose, e," sabi ko.

Nabulunan siya at nanlaki ang mata. Napatayo pa sa pwesto. "Gaga ka ba? Ang mahal nun!" sigaw niya. Minasahe niya ang sintido niya. "Hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko sayo. Masyado kang magastos. Oh, ano naming sabi nina Tita and Tito?"

"Mom's fine with it as well as Dad. They don't mind." Every time I spend my money, I always think that my money will go to those people who worked hard to earn. "And one bag is for you, Kev. Just pick a color."

Biglang nagningning ang mga mata niya. Hindi na nasanay. Tsk.

Kapag kasi may binili akong mga gamit para sa sarili ko I always make sure that I buy stuff for Kev too. He didn't ask for it, but I want the best for him. It's my way to say thank you to him.

"You know, you don't have to spend money for me, Vera. I didn't befriend ko because you're rich," seryosong sabi niya.

I hugged his waist. "It's my own choice, Kev. And you're always their naman for me, so I know you're not up for my money. Subukan mo lang. I'll cut your putotoy." He cringed with what I said. I laughed at his reaction.

"Oh, my god. Vera, 'wag ka nang magsalita ng ganyan. You're gross." Umakto pa siya na parang nasusuka. Sa kaniya ko lang naman nalaman ang mga ganoong words. I was a total conyo back in elementary and he would always frown every time I talk to him, so I made sure to ace my tagalog.

"You taught me words like that."

"Jinojoke lang kita noon! Mas okay pang conyo ka kaysa naman ganyan ang vocabulary mo," aniya. "Oo nga pala. Before I forgot, anong nangyari sayo kagabi at bigla kang nag-aya? Tinulugan mo pa ako! Akala mo siguro hindi ko maaalala ah." He raised a brow.

Mapakla akong tumawa. "W-Wala naman," pagak akong tumawa. Iniwas ko ang tingin ko at tumikhik. BInuksan ko and iPad ko at nagkunwari na nagbabasa.

"Sa akin ka pa talaga nagsinungaling. Masyado kang obvious." Kinuha niya ang iPad ko na ikinanguso ko. "Now, tell me."

Hindi ako nagsalita. I pouted and crossed my arms against my chest. He starting counting, so I groaned. "Fine!" I frowned. "It's actually because of Satan. 'Yong sinabi mong crush ko," I cringed.Ang pangit sabihin na crush ko siya. I feel like I'm too old for that stage.

"Ano meron kay Nathan?" Nanliit ang mga mata ko. "What? Everyone calls him Nathan except his close friends."

"I don't know what happened..." I started and told him the whole story. He was listening intently to me. Sometimes he'll give me some reaction and then listen again.
