Offered Conviction from the Past (Justice Series #2)

CHAPTER 7

JS2: ZARI'S POV

"Hey Miss, wake up.."I've faced palm right after hearing Kaden's voice waking me up.

As I open my eyes, I saw the fresh from the bath Kaden while having a short smile on his lips. Bumangon ako at sumandal sa headrest bago siya tinitingnan ng seryoso.

"What? Go shower now, they already eating outside."he said, getting his phone on the desk beside me.

I look at his space on the bed while keep getting back my memory last night. Did he slept on the couch again? Like the first day? Hindi siya tumabi sakin?

Nagkatinginan pa kami bago ako tuluyang dumiretso sa banyo. I fix my hair and brush my teeth before I directly did my bath routine. Doon na rin ako nagbihis, pinili kong suotin ang white denim short at white printed shirt, I inserted it and pick the white Nike shoes.

I saw Kaden leaning on the wall while having his both hands on his pocket, looking directly at me. He shook his head when the side of his lips rose up, he then walk towards me.

"You good?"he ask, I nodded.

He open the glass door for us, he let me lead the way when Ashley and Kio wave their hands on us, calling us to eat. Taas noo akong naglakad papunta sa kanila habang nakasunod naman sakin si Kaden. Nakangiti lang ako habang nagsimulang lumapit ang ibang kaibigan ni Kaden sa'min para bumati.

It was nice having a lot of friends but when I told myself I'm good without one, I'm fully sure into it. It's happy having this kind of friends Kaden have but being this kind of girl, who needs no one is merely nice too.

"So, kamusta naman ang second night with Zari the friend?"tanong ni Elliot, isa sa mga kaibigan ni Kaden na nakigaya sa tawag nina Kio sakin.

Faust tsked."Well if I were to answer dude, his night was happy. Sinira niya lang naman ang date namin ni Zari, tsk."

Nagkatinginan silang lahat at nagsig-kunutan ng noo. Tiningnan nila ako at si Kaden, pabaling ang tingin nila sa'min kaya nag iwas ako ng tingin at tumingin sa malayo.

"Tsk, no way bro. Don't tell me, hindi mo sinipot ang villa date 'nyo ni Aimi...dude the girl waited."matigas na ani Deon na hindi masitinigan ang boses.

"Yan din ang sinabi ko kay Kaden mga bros, ang kaso mas prefer niya talaga kasama si Zari the friend kesa kay Aimi the ex..."si Kio.

"Kio dude, ano 'yang mga endearment mo sa mga girls ni Kaden ang accurate para ka namang what the fvck."they laughed at Hent who just spoke.

Nag-decide na akong mauna nung biglang lumapit sa gawi ko si Ashley at inakay na ako papunta sa small cottage na nasa tabi ng swimming pool. They were eating and one of the girls is singing on the karaoke.

I get the plate and help myself dig on the food while Ashley can't stop telling about how Deon and her fighted nonstop last night because of the villa date. Napapailing nalang ako at bahagyang nilingon sila Kaden na papalapit na sa gawi namin.

Aimi made her way towards Kaden and everyone's eyes were on them. Siniko na naman ako ni Ashley sa di alam na kadahilanan. She offer a plate full of dishes to Kaden and Kaden search for something instead of accepting the offered plate by Aimi.

I give him a questionable look when his eyes stop on where I'm sitting right now, he wave his hand on me while having this smile on his lips.

Nakakunot ang noo na lumingon si Aimi sa kinakawayan ni Kaden at nawala agad ang ngiti sa labi nang makitang ako 'yun.

I just nod at Kaden, maybe those were fake actions to act like he doesn't have care on Aimi. Tinapos ko nalang ang pagkain at nakinig sa mga sinasabi ni Ashley hanggang sa kumain na rin ang boys at nag announce na may laro na namang gagawin.
