ALL OUT OF LOVE

Chapter 18

Baby Crab

"Mag sisising pumunta si Lia sa mga kaibigan nya" Halakhak ni Lucas

we are now riding his parent's Car, Someone, na hula ko ay driver nya ang nag dadrive. wala rin sila Tita at Tito sa bahay, people in that house were pretty busy, huh

except kay Lucas na nag uubos lang ng oras

"i forgot to tell her about it" amin ko din at napakamot ng ulo. how did i forget to tell her when we are talking over the text almost every day?

"kailan ba ang balik mo ng Maynila?"

"There's no exact date. pero alam ko saglit lang kami" we are here because of Daddy's work kaya malamang di rin mag tatagal ay pauwi narin kami

gustuhin ko mang mag paiwan i dont think my father would allow it

"ayaw mong mag paiwan? sabay kanalang samin ni Caspian papuntang Maynila" pabirong aya ni Lucas

ngumuso ako at ibinaba ang tingin sa kamay ko. It was a joke but there's something in it that's tempting. si Lucas ay nakaupo sa passenger seat, he took  quick shower after the game habang kami naman ni Caspian ay nanatiling nakaupo sa nag sisilbing bench ng court. sa tabi ko ay si Caspian na tahimik

something is definitely upsetting him. Maayos naman ang pakikitungo nya sa iba but when it comes to me there's something off!

Nakakairita

"Di ko alam na ganon ka pala kagaling mag laro ng basket ball" Sabi ko pag katapos ng ilang minutong katahimikan. changing the topic after i decided it's a no for a tempting offer

it took him a while bago sumagot

"maliit na bagay"

"you didn't play that well asshole, stop feeding his ego Razeenah" Caspian interrupted.

sumimangot ako. iyon lang pala ang makakapag paimik saiyo

i immediately let words come out in my mouth

"He is really good! Lucas alam kong nag lalaro ka pero diko alam na ganon pala kagaling?"

dinig na dinig ko ang mabigat nyang pag hinga. Sigurado akong di yon narinig ni Lucas dahil kung napansin nya iyon ay pupunahin nya yon pero hindi. he shook his head twice at nilingon ang bandang bintana dahilan para diko na masyadong makita ang muka nya

"Thank you for the appreciation Razeenah" Natatawang ani ni Lucas. may kayabangan at kakulitan

Lucas decided to spent the night here. He'll be sleeping in Caspian's room, i wonder what Caspian's room looks like. Well i can already imagine it very neat and handsome. very white and gray. Arranged and planned

kagaya nga ng inaasahan ko, Daddy didn't even bother asking kung saan ako nang galing. isang salita mula sa mga Hidalgo ay palagay na ang loob nya. ramdam na ramdam ko ang pag titiwala nya sa mga Hidalgo maging kila Caspian..

kaya naman kinabukasan ay di nya rin ako tinanong kung saan ako papunta but i feel the need to kaya nag sabi padin ako

mabagal kong binuksan ang pinto nya pag katapos kumatok ng tatlong beses. diko binitawan ang door knob. his room is colder than mine. bigger and cold. or maybe it is him who is making this room colder than mine. like the way he is looking at me right now as if i am not his daughter. Well i am, but i am the stubborn daughter

"Pupunta ako kila Lucas"

sabi ko. habang mabagal kong ipinasok ang sarili ko at isinara ang pinto

"Andito si Lucas"
