Alice
I opened the door widely
"Pasok ka muna" I invited him
He smiled and nodded. Sinarado ko ang pintuan nang makapasok sya
I pointed the couch
"Wait for me" tumango sya. Mabilis akong pumasok sa kwarto ko at nakita ang bag at mga libro sa ibabaw ng table
Inuwi ito kanina ni Emir which is not needed since I can carry those stuffs
Binuksan ko ang bag at kinuha ang maliit na paper bag at ang phone. I put the phone inside the small rectangular box
"Nagdrive thru kayo?" boses agad ni Emir ang narinig ko
Carter simply nodded
"My favorite!" Emir's eyes sparkled when he saw his favorite chicken burger and lasagna. Yes, dumayo pa kami ni Carter sa isang restaurant para bumili ng lasagna
"Ano ito suhol? Dahil late mo inuwi si Alice?" nakataas na kilay na tanong ni Emir. Moody, kanina ay ang saya saya ngayon ay nagtataray na
"I don't mind anyway. The important thing is you brought her home safely and unscathed" he giggled. Tss bipolar
"Oh hi Alice!" he said as he saw me. I smiled dryly. Kinuha nya ang isang coke float at ang pagkain nya bago tumayo
"Sa may kwarto lang ako" he said and went straightly to his room
"Here" umupo ako sa couch at inilapag ko ang paper bag sa may center table at tinulak iyon palapit sa kanya
"You're not thinking that I'll take that back, right?"
"I can't accept that"
His forehead creased
"Why? Because it's expensive?"
"Yes" diretsong sagot ko
"Don't mind the price. It's the thought that counts"
My brow tugged up
"Hindi mo ko madadala dyan"
"Come on Alice. It's just a gift from your suitor"
"No thanks. I'm contented with Pluffy" I said
"You're so fond of Pluffy" he stated
"I am" I replied
Ngumisi sya
"Please take that phone. I can't accept it"
He blew a deep breath
"Alice..." he trailed
"I know it isn't bad to accept gifts but I think that's too much for a gift" and I don't have a plan to estimate its price because surely I'll be shook
"How can I contact you then?"
"Madalas naman tayong nagkikita" I reasoned out
"It ain't enough Alice. Paano kung biglang may mangyari? How can we reach each other?"
He got a point
"Ahm may phone naman si Emir"
"He's not always with you" dahilan nya
"Just accept it please"
"Carter..."
"Wala akong pag gagamitan nyan. Matatambak at masisira lang yan"
Natahimik ako
"Is this about Bree calling you a gold digger?" mariing tanong nya
"This has nothing to do with her. I just don't like accepting gifts from...other people"
