Underneath His White Coat ( Montero Series # 5)

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

[ Aria's POV]

" Sigurado kang 'di kana magdadala ng food, Aria?" si Cassie.

"No, there's no need," sagot ko. We were at the garage waiting for Rafael. I was so full. They didn't make me leave until dinner. Sunday was really a family day for the whole family kaya nandito ang lahat. The guys were at the game room naglalaro ng billiard while we women chatted about random things. Fortunately, all of the Montero's wives love fashion kaya we talked about signature brands and dresses. Mikho's wife Enna who was the youngest was so knowledgeable about the new trend. She has a very good eye for fashion at ang ganda ganda pa. Like I was seeing a live Barbie from her. Even with her age she already has a family and manages her own business. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy again.

With the rest of the girls hindi ako nahirapang makibagay kasi halos magkakaedad lang pala kami. Nagkapalagayan agad kami ng loob. Para ngang matagal ko na silang mga kaibigan.

"Yung binilin ko sa'yo huwag mong kalimutan," pabulong niyang sabi.

Tumango ako. "I hope what I will do works."

"I'm going to help you pray for it. And be here on Tuesday sa anniversary ni Mom at Dad."

I nodded again. "Thank you for today, Cas. Thanks for your family I genuinely had a great time."

"Don't mention it. Well, for a long time, I haven't felt this towards someone. I have a feeling the moment I saw you that I will be seeing you more often," makahulugan niya akong tiningnan.

What she said bothered me pero hindi na ako nakapagtanong because we heard a deep, calm yet commanding voice.

"Let's go."

Pareho kaming napalingon ni Cassie. Rafael was here.

"Be back here, Rafael. Mom will be mad again 'pag hindi kana naman uuwi, " bilin ni Cassie nang akma na nitong bubuksan ang pinto sa drivers seat pero sa akin nakatingin. Rafael just sighed at tuloy nang pumasok.

"Mag-ingat kayo," lumapit si Cassie sa'kin to give me a kiss in the cheek.

"Salamat talaga, Cas. Please tell them again the same," magiliw akong ngumiti.

Ang sarap naman dito sa kanila. Parang ang sarap maging parte ng pamilya nila. Everyone were genuiely nice. Well, except for this one na di ko matantiya ang ugali.

Ay, kailangan ko na palang pumasok.

I went inside the passenger feeling the airconditioner's cold temperature. Sinabayan pa ng panlalamig ng mga kamay ko. Bakit ba ako kinakabahan? Why was this guy making me nervous?

Tumikhim ako nang nagsimula nang umusad ang sasakyan. He changed his comfy clothes earlier to a casual baby yellow plain shirt and washed out jeans and with his usual sneakers. Was he going somewhere? Parang di yata nauubusan ng activity sa life ang lalaking 'to.

"M-may pupuntahan ka ba ngayon?" sinikap kong tuwid iyong sabihin habang napalingon sa kanya. Umalon ang lalamunan niya. Why does even the movement of his throat even look so sexy? What just happened to me? He was so hilarious back there but with him alone? His presence was just too intense and couldn't be denied. Even with his glasses on, some may look innocent and tamed with them but he looks even more sinfully gorgeous and lethal. I didn't have any idea he wears those. In his pictures at LA Gregory Hospital hindi naman siya nakasalamin. He must be using clear contacts then when we met and during his OR.

Kaya nga hindi ako tumabi sa kanya nang makasakay na kami sa eroplano. I was glad there were on first class flight kaya may privacy kami. Ang alam ko nun nagbabasa siya ng libro. I couldn't help looking at him kahit inis na inis ako sa kanya nun. He has this strong force that makes you want to look at him and I hate it. I hated his guts dahil sa ginawa niya sa Chanel coat ko.
