Stupid In Love

Chapter 32

Olivia Morgan

I observed as Melanie took a sip from her glass. Kanina pa siya tapos sa kinakaing carbonara. Habang ako, hindi pa. I looked down on her plate. Pansin kong tinabi niya sa gilid ang mga mushrooms.

"Ayaw mo rin sa lasa?" Usisa ko.

I'm very happy she agreed to grab lunch with me today. Sa isang sikat na restaurant ko siya dinala na malapit lang din sa uni para malapit lang ang byahe namin.

"Weird 'yung taste," She shrugged and finished her drink.

Tahimik akong tumawa dahil sa kakonyahan niya. But she didn't know that. So she asked me why.

"Wala," I chuckled, "Ano ba'ng paborito mong lasa?" Tanong ko bago sinubo ang huling kutsara ng inorder na lasagna.

"I don't know. Parang gusto ko ng chili pizza this time,"

I chewed quietly and nodded. Uminom ako ng tubig at magsasalita sana, pero tinaas ni Montemayor ang hintuturo niya at pinigilan ako.

"And no. You don't have to buy me pizza right now," She muttered as if she just read my mind, "Busog pa ako,"

Napatawa ulit ako. That's not what I was going to say. But something close to that.

"Hindi, hindi yan ang sasabihin ko," Ngiti kong saad. I bit my inner cheeks. Nahihiya ako sa idadagdag, "I was thinking, maybe, maganda 'yang baon sa pool?" Napakamot ako ng batok, "Bukas?"

Melanie raised her left brow. She looked amused. I bet she wasn't expecting that. Ha! Finally. Her observation skills flunked her.

"Seryoso?"

"Ayaw mo?" My smile slowly dropped.

"Hindi yan ang sinabi ko, Olivia," Melanie picked the table napkin from the table, at nagulat ako ng pinahiran niya ang labi ko.

My smile crept its way back on my lips. "Susunduin kita bukas ng hapon," I beamed.

Para akong bata na binigyan ng candy dahil sa laki ng ngiti. Nakaupo si Melanie sa dulo ng pool. Nakatampisaw sa tubig ang mga paa niya. But her upper body is still dry.

She immediately tested the waters when we got here. At ako nama'y nilagay ang mga dala sa lamesa.

It's a Tuesday today. 4 p.m. Wala masyadong tao dito sa clubhouse ng isang mamahaling hotel. Umuwi kami ni Montemayor ng ilang minuto bago dumiretso rito.

I pressed the can lightly on her shoulder which quickly took her attention. Nginitian niya ako bago ito tinanggap. And I sat beside her.

Melanie looks dashing in her two piece suit. Napakasexy at kinis niya. At alam kong para akong timang kakatitig sa kaniya ng mahigit sa sampung minuto na. But can you blame me?

She's very, very beautiful. And flawless. And gorgeous. And all the other positive adjectives in the dictionary. Siya na 'yon.

"My eyes are up here, Olivia,"

Agad akong napaangat ng tingin dahil bumababa na pala ang mata ko sa kung saan saan. Parang aso akong napangisi kay Montemayor. And she sneered at me in return.

Or maybe that's just the way she laughs. I don't know. Melanie has this resting bitch face. But she's really pretty, I'd gladly let her glare at me if it means I can gaze at her.

"You're not taking that off?" She mentioned about my black shirt.

Binuksan niya ang binigay kong beer at uminom. I glanced at my shirt and contemplated whether I should take it off or not.
