His Favorite Mission (On-Going)

Chapter 16

"Ate!!"

Tumatakbong sinalubong ako ni Alonzo, he hug me as soon as he reached me. Hindi pa nga ako nakakapasok sa front door.

Despite the inconvenience earlier, hindi naman kami gaano naabutan ng traffic kahit rush hour na kami nakaalis sa mansyon. Akala ko pa kanina ay may sumusunod saamin, turns out, the other guards was asked to escort us. But I noticed na lumiko na rin sila pabalik as soon as we got in the village.

"Nag behave ka ba?" Ginulo ko ang buhok ni Alonzo. I immediately noticed his haircut. Mukhang nagpapa-gwapo na ang kapatid ko, marami kaseng fans. Well, mana sa ate.

"Of course!" he said excitedly.

"Ma! aren't you gonna welcome me?" I rolled my eyes, she's channeling the drama queen that she is. Her arms are crossed and is looking at me like an outsider.

"Na-miss ka niyan ate" bulong ni Alonzo sa tabi ko.

Biglang nag liwanag ang mukha ni Mom, I thought she finally got back to her senses and decided to welcome her only daughter, but that isn't the case.

"Hello, Jio! welcome, pasok ka" masayang salubong niya. Nagtinginan kami ni Alonzo bago ko nilingon si Jio, who's now carrying my luggages.

"Good evening po" magalang niyang bati.

"Ano ba 'yan Alexis, hindi mo manlang tinulungan magbitbit ang boyfriend mo" puna ni Mom.

I was stunned with what she said. "Kayo na, ate?" Alonzo asked.

For a second, I was hesitant to answer. It feels wrong to say that we are nothing more than acquaintances or friends, because we already did more than what friends do.

Pero hindi naman kami, anong sasabihin ko? "Uh--"

"Hindi pa po" Jio cut me off.

Nilingon ko siya, he glanced at me for a second before continuing what he's saying.

"I'm still courting her" he said.

Nanlaki ang mata ni Alonzo habang impit na tumitili si Mom, like a teenager. We never talked about us, and I think it's too early for that. I assume he only said that to brush off the question.

"Halina kayo, nagluto ako" aya ni Mama, she's still smiling ear to ear at tinitignan ako ng makahulugan.

"Just leave my things here, ako nalang mag aakyat mamaya" I told Jio, kumunot ang noo niya.

"It's heavy" sabi niya. "Baka malaglag ka sa hagdan" sabi pa niya, now he's exaggerating.

Inirapan ko siya, narinig ko naman si Mama na nang-aasar pa, "Oo nga naman Alexis, hayaan mo na ang manliligaw mo na ihatid sa kwarto mo ang gamit"

Gosh, she's like Myla. Pareho silang kilig na kilig sa mga paandar ni Jio sa'kin.

"Alright then, samahan mo nalang ako mamaya pagtapos kumain" sabi ko at saka niya palang inilapag ang dalawang maleta at isang bag sa sala.

Napaisip ako bigla, maayos ba ang kwarto ko? may nakasampay pa ba akong underwear sa gilid ng pinto? I usually do that sa mga underwear na hindi pwede i-washing machine at kailangan i-handwash.

Nabalik ako sa reyalidad nang bumulong si Jio sa tabi ko, "Don't overthink. I won't do anything, unless you ask me to" I felt tingly when his breath touches my neck and ear.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin, "Don't even try, Jin Oliver" I whispered back and simply licked my spoon.

Hindi maipinta ang mukha niya, surely, he didn't expect me to call him by his name. I noticed that it has a different effect on him, I think it turns him on.
