Excuse Me, Ma'am Wesley

Stacy

After giving her the treats, nagpaalam na ito para magbihis. Ako naman ay tinago na muna ang box ng laruan ni Leah. My mind drifted back sa nangyareng pag-uusap namin kanina. I feel relieved na she finally know the reason bakit kami naiinis ni Leah the other night. Plus, her reaction is so cute after receiving a smile from me. Napailing ako at naglakad na pabalik sa sala. Leah is still on her new bed kaya hinayaan ko na ito. When I got into the kitchen, I was surprised to see Wesley cooking. For the first time since we started living together, nagluto na ito.

  Living together? Fuck. That sounded like we're a couple or something.

  I shrug off the weird tingles I felt and I studied her as she moves around the kitchen. Nakapagbihis na rin siya from her uniform and is wearing my apron above her shirt and short. She looks pretty.

  "Didn't know you can cook," sabi ko na nagpatalon sa kanya.

  Napahawak ito sa kanyang dibdib. "Huwag ka naman manggulat, Stacy."

  "Kanina pa ako dito, akala ko alam mo na nakaupo ako here."

  Umiling ito at tumalikod para magpatuloy sa kanyang niluluto. "Sorry naman. Nagfofocus kasi ako sa niluluto ko."

  "What is that?"

  "Adobo. Nakonsensya kasi ako sa nangyare kahapon kaya naisip kong ipagluto kayo ni Leah."

  I folded my arms. "So nakonsesnya ka dahil pumunta ka sa date with your ex without telling us you'll be coming home late?" I asked, one of my brow raised at her.

  Tinignan niya ako ng mabilis. "Oo. Tsaka hindi naman kami nag date ni Cassie. Nangumusta lang siya dahil nalaman niya ang nangyare."

  "Really? Nangumusta?" I don't know why, but I felt like nabunutan ako ng malaking tinik sa narinig. They didn't went on a date, that's great then. So she's not interested in her ex? That's even better.

  "Oo nga. Nag offer din siya ng matitirhan, pero sinabihan ko siya na nakitira na muna ako sayo."

  I force my smile not to show sa narinig ko. "Well, good. I'll go play na muna with Leah."

  I left and quickly walk back sa kay Leah. There I finally let out a sigh of relief. I bit my lips, not knowing what to do. It just suddenly sink in my mind na I don't want her to go back to her ex. I don't want her to ask help from her. Gosh, I totally know where this is heading and it's not what I am expecting ever. I let out a groan.

  "Gosh, Leah. This is not good." I complained to the cat sitting in front of me. She didn't meow back any response, which left me to groan again and sink my head in the chair.

   When Wesley called us sa dinning room ay sabay kaming naglakad ni Leah. I took my usual seat, while the cat went to hers.

  "Smells great, Wesley," I complemented, but I tried my best not to stare at her. Naiilang na kasi ako.

  "Thank you. Minsan lang ako nagluluto kaya pagtiisan mo na muna iyan."

  Naglagay na ako ng pagkain sa aking plate and when I had my first bite of the food, I fight the urge to moan. Now I can't stop myself from staring at her. "Crap, this is so good. Why didn't you tell me na marunong ka pala magluto?"
