The Gang's Prized Possession

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen

They let me off to get some rest after the whole food fiasco. The boys crashed for the night, ang mga guest room namin ay may mga pangalan na nila and my parents don't mind.

Rix snuck in my room in the middle of the night with cookies, na kinuha pa niya sa cookie jar namin sa kusina. He woke me up just to feed me and made me tell all that has happened in Paris. Para bang hindi pa siya nakuntento sa kwento ko kanina sa living room. Well, Megan mostly did all the talking dahil sa aming tatlo, siya ang may pinaka maraming baong kwento. I told him I spent some time with Lee but may nga part na hindi ko pwedeng ikwento.

After that tinamad na siyang bumalik sa kwarto niya so he slept in my room. Josh ended up waking us up for breakfast dahil napuyat kami, wala nang nag abala pang mag set ng alarm.

In the Santos household, breakfast is important lalo na pag nasa bahay si Mom at Dad. Because Rix is a Santos, he knows the certain rule. Never miss the most important meal of the day.

"Blame him for sneaking in my room last night, he kept me up." I said and kissed my Mothers cheeks. Naka handa na ang table. The boys and Megan were already seated. Umupo naman ako sa tabi ni Logan dahil iyon nalang ang natitirang bakanteng upuan.

"Rixon Travis Santos, what did I tell you about sneaking in a girls room?" Sermon ni Mama sa kanya.

"Don't, because it's wrong. A girls privacy shouldn't be violated" Rix answered in a monotone. Mas takot pa siya kay Mom kaysa sa'kin.

I laughed and started eating. Mom kept on rambling about Girls' privacy. Na sermonan tuloy ang lima ng wala sa oras, of course my Mother is aware of their kalokohan. Madalas niyang kausap si Tita Liane.

We finished eating and I took a shower, umuwi naman muna sila sa mga bahay nila and promised to meet at HQ after lunch.

I had some short Alone Time kaya I savoured the moment. Nag online ako sa kik and left Ethan a couple of messages, telling him that I'm back. Hindi ko kadi siya naka usap nang nasa Paris ako and he told me that the next following days he'll be busy. So we promised to message each other if we have time.

This is the last day of sembreak. I wonder what they're planning to do? Knowing the boys, sigurado akong may plano sila. Hindi nila sasayangin ang araw na ito ngayong kumpleto na kami.

Bukas may pasok na, back to normal na naman ang buhay namin. It's sad really. Ayaw ko pang gumising ng maaga.

I decided to skip lunch at pumunta nang HQ, ako ang nauna 'ron. Malinis ito, I guess Rix cleaned while he stayed here. Siya kasi ang madalas na natutulog dito. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of orange juice, kailangan naming mag grocery to fill up the fridge. I walked out and saw the twins sitting on the couch and they're watching a football game on TV. Hindi ko man lang sila narinig na pumasok.

Their heads both whipped to my direction, sabay naman silang napangiti and it creepped me out a bit dahil sa pagkasabay non. I sat next to Josh and put my feet on top of the coffee table. Ginaya ko ang pwesto nila.

"How's Lee?" Josh asked in a whisper, he doesn't want to disturb Jace na masyadong seryoso sa panunuod.

I opened my orange juice and smirked a bit. "He's okay. Still the same, still Lee."

"Why do I get the feeling you don't wan to talk about him?" His eyes were stuck on the game habang ako naman ay sa orange juice ko.

"Because I don't" I answered in a whisper. A second later I heard the front door open and Rix's voice.

Nang makarating ang lahat. Nag aya nalang silang mag libot kung saan saan. Pumayag naman ako since wala rin akong gagawin.

"Convoy tayo?" Jace asked.
