Chapter 07 : The Piano

"HI, Cole. We meet again." I smiled to Cole as soon as we slid inside Weslee's car.

Pagkarating namin sa parking lot kanina, nasa harapan na agad ang sasakyan ni Weslee. And with Cole – his driver.

He smiled through the rear view mirror. "Good to see you too, my lady."

"Oh shut up, Cole. Just drive." Singit ni Weslee na inaamoy na ang damit. Parang lagkit na lagkit.

Ngayon pa siya naglagkitan niyan? Eh, kanina pa 'yan sa damit niya? 'Yan kasi, hinayaan lang.

Cole chuckled. "Okay."

Binalingan ko si Weslee. "So, when are we gonna talk about our do's and don'ts, huh? Kailangan na nating pag-usapan 'yon as soon as possible."

"Kailangan pa ba 'yon? I don't think that's needed." His brows furrowed while looking at his clothes. "Damn it. Wala nang damit dito, Cole? I need to change."

Umiling si Cole. I can't help but blurt out. "'Yan kasi, hinayaan mo sila. Sana binuhusan mo rin ng harina iyong mga taong 'yon. So stupid."

He glared a me. I glared back. "What? Totoo naman, ah? You acted so tough when I almost got hit but when protecting yourself, you cannot?"

He scoffed. "You don't know..."

"I don't know what?" paghahamon ko pa.

He rolled his eyes.

"Walang damit dito, Wes. If you really want to change you should go home right now." Sagot naman ni Cole.

"Then let's go to my house." Simpleng sagot nito.

Napabaling ako sa kanya. "What about me? Ihahatid mo naman ako siguro una bago ka uuwi, right?"

He smirked and didn't reply. Kumunot ang noo ko.

What did he mean by that?

"Weslee?"

Hindi ito sumagot. I looked at Cole but it looks like he's busy driving.

I'm sure he'll take me home first, right? There's no way he'll go to his house without dropping me off first?

"What the hell? Hindi dito ang daan papunta sa amin, ah?" I looked at Weslee. "Weslee! Iuwi mo ako. Ayokong pumunta sa bahay mo."

"Why not? Kasalanan ko bang basta-basta ka na lang sumakay sa sasakyan ko? I did not say that I'll take you home." Pagmama-ang maangan niya pa.

I gulped. Napakamot ako sa ulo. "Yes, you didn't. But you pulled me inside your car. Is that my fault?"

Napa-ayos siya ng upo at lumapit ng bahagya sa akin. "Nagpahila ka. Hindi ka tumanggi. Is that my fault too?"

I groaned. "No! But you pulled me! How else should I suppose to act?"

He grinned. Sumandal siya sa headrest ng upuan. "Sa bahay KO tayo, Cole."

I rolled my eyes. "Ang pangit mo!" I blurted out and looked through the window.

I heard him chuckle. "Really?"

Hindi ko siya pinansin. I'm looking through the way we are going and it really is not my way home. Baka sa bahay niya nga talaga!

My phone vibrated. Kinuha ko iyon at nakitang si Mang Arturo iyon.

Mang Arturo: Nasaan ka na? Sinundo kita sa skwelahan ninyo pero wala ka.

I sighed. I glared at Weslee who is now looking at me too before typed a reply for Mang Arturo.

Me: I'm going home late, Mang Arturo. Umuwi na lang po muna kayo. May maghahatid naman po sa akin pauwi.
