Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kamay ni Carter nang makapasok kami. Natigilan ako nang makarating kami sa dining area. Agad na napunta ang tingin ng mga tao dun sa amin
There are lots of different foods on the rectangular shaped table. Sitting on the host seat is an elegant looking woman wearing an expensive dress and pair of jewelries. She looks intimidating
Umupo si Levi sa right side at sa tabi nito ay nakaupo yung babaeng nakita ko sa ilog na kasama ni Carter. If I'm not mistaken her name is Daphne. There's also a woman next to her which I think is same age with the woman on the host seat, probably Daphne's mother
Carter pulled a chair for me and made me sit. Umupo sya sa tabi ko, sa gilid ng Tita nya
"Let's eat" she said in a very calm voice
Carter placed some foods on my plate. Nagpasalin din sya ng juice sa baso ko. Tipid akong ngumiti. Nahagip ko ang titig sa akin ni Daphne. Para bang naaasiwa sya sa presensya ko
I ignored her and focused myself on the food. I know dining etiquettes but I'm still nervous. Parang nakakatakot magkamali sa harap ng Tita nya
Sometimes even how good you are in some things, there's still a probability that you will commit a mistake
We ate in silence. No one dared to break the ice except from the cocky Levi Cervantes
"So mind telling us who's this beautiful lady next to you Carter?" he leaned on his seat and wagged his brow. He licked his lips and smirked. May kakaibang kislap din ang mga mata nito
Nakatingin na ngayon sa amin ang Tita nya ganun na rin sila Daphne
Carter cleared his throat. He placed his arm on the backrest of my seat
"I would like to formally introduce Alliciana Acosta, my girlfriend" he said calmly
"Ahm good evening---" I was cut off by Daphne's mother. That was rude
"What? Girlfriend? I thought he's single, Matilda?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito
"Sorry to burst your bubble Mrs. Menezes, but I am not" mariing tinitigan ni Carter ang ginang
"And next time don't cut my girlfriend when she's talking. Don't be rude" he said sternly
Naitikom ng babae ang bibig nya
Umayos ng upo si Carter at hinawakan ang kamay ko sa ilalim ng mesa
His Tita Matilda wiped the corner of her lips and stared intently to her before she turned her gaze to Carter
"Enough hijo. That's not how you should talk to our guests"
"Then please do remind Mrs. Menezes her manners" Carter replied
I held his hand tightly, signaling him to stop. Binalingan nya ako. Gone the irritation in his eyes
"I can't believe this. I've known you from a very long time hijo. I never thought you could've talk like that. I bet she's the reason" Mrs. Menezes turned to me with a smug on her face
Magsasalita pa sana si Carter nang putulin sya ng Tita Matilda nya
"How old are you Ms. Acosta?" his menacing stare is on me
"I'm 18" I said calmly
Tumaas ang kilay nya at tinignan si Carter bago muli itong tumingin sa akin
"Too young" binalingan nito si Carter
"I thought you didn'tn't like young girls? What's with the sudden change hijo?" she asked
Napalunok ako. Nanatili ang tingin ko sa plato ko
