THE UNLUCKY CALDERON (COMPLETED)

PAL POV

“What are you doing here?” I texted him.

Naniid rako niya nga naa sa akong atubangan. He checked his phone.

Surely na received na niya akong message.

“Pal, hide your phone. We're eating” tingog ni Pierce nga way alamag.

I glare at Anthony who keep on smirking at me.

“Kung makapatay lang ang tutok, nihapla naka diha bro” sulti ni Pierce kay Anthony.

They both laugh. Not caring about me.

Tskk! So sila nay best friends karun?

Wa sad koy na recieve nga reply gikan kay Anthony. Nitindog nalang ko ug nanghipos sa katag sa palibot.

“You should go to bed now, Pal. It's already 1 in the morning” someone utter.

Wala ra nako sya gi pansin. Puslan, wa sad niya gi tubag akong pangutana kung nganong naa sya diri.

Like duhhh? Whatever!

“Come on. Let me do it” ingon pa niya ug gi ilog ang vacuum cleaner sa akong kamot.

“You're in my condo. Don't decide what I should or I shouldn't do” tubag ra nako ug gi ilog balik ang vacuum.

“Pal” his voice is threatening but I'm not even scared.

“Ako na lage, wa man ko napungkol”

Kung gahi syag ulo, mas gahi kog ulo. Bisan duha pa na iyang ulo dira. Mas gahi akong ulo.

“Okay, that's enough kids! Diay silhig oh, aron sabay mong mang limpyo. Sanaol mag ilog sa vacuum nga naa may silhig” sabat sa akong bespren.

Ako nalay ni gamit sa silhig ug wa na sila gi pansin.

“Matug na ko oy” dungag pa ni Pierce. “Lain kaayo sa feeling ma third wheel diri nga side” pa dungog dungog pa niya

Nisipat rako kay Pierce nga nag katawa ra padung sa guest room.

To inform you guys, naa koy duha ka guest room sa akong condominium. This condo is actually a gift from my biological parents pagka graduate nako sa college.

I yawn while sweeping the last piece of trash from the floor. Before I could put down the silhig I'm holding, someone talk behind me.

“You're sleepy” his husky voice filled my ears.

Shit! Too close.

“A-Anthony”

I felt his head come closed to mine, “Should I carry you to bed?”
