Alice

I placed my palm below my chin and released a deep sigh

"Mukhang ang laki ng problema mo" I didn't move and just watched Levi sat across me

"Is this about the marriage?"

I stared at him blankly

"What do you think?" I asked dryly

Ngumisi sya

"Ayaw mo kay Carter? Five years ago, you were both creeping me out with your sweetness and you were so in love with each other"

"Precisely! That was five years ago. Marami ng nagbago"

"Including your feelings for him?" he asked

Napatitig ako sa kanya. That was a harmless question yet a very hard one

I sighed

"Yes... that includes my feelings"

His brow arched

"It was a simple question pero natagalan ka sa pagsagot. Why is that Alice?" his eyes narrowed

I glared at him. Mukhang alam ko na kung anong tumatakbo sa isip nya

"Will you please stop being nosy?" I snickered

He chuckled

"Would it be better if it was me?" he joked and wiggled his brow

Kinuha ko ang kutsara sa plato ko at inamabang ipupukpok sa kanya

"Chill! I'm just kidding!" he burst into laughter

Kung yung plato na lang kaya ang ipukpok ko sa kanya?

I rolled my eyes

"But seriously... bakit ayaw mo kay Carter?" he asked when he calmed down

"Are you dumb? Do I really have to remind you that we have a past?"

"So? Matagal naman na yun. Hindi ka pa nakakamove on?" tanong nya na nakakunot ang noo

Oh gosh! He's really dumb!

"Please get out of my sight. I might physically hurt you"

"Wow! Didn't know you're harsh. Where's the prim and sophisticated Alliciana Cervantes?" he said with a grin on his lips

"Alliciana Cervantes? Who's that? Do I know her?" I asked sarcastically

"Anong meron?"

Pareho kaming nag angat ng tingin ni Levi sa bagong dating. It was Carter. He sat next to me and placed his arm on the backrest of my chair

My forehead creased with his territorial move. Bumaba ang tingin ni Levi sa braso ni Carter at tumaas ang gilid ng labi

"Kung may kilala ka raw Alliciana Cervantes" nakangising tanong ni Levi

My eyes widen. The nerve of this jerk!

"I'm staring at her right now"

Nabaling ang tingin ko kay Carter at nakitang nakatitig ito sa akin. I snickered. Ang sarap nilang pag untuging dalawa

"Oh my gosh Alliciana Acosta!" mabilis akong napabaling sa pamilyar na matinis na boses na iyon

Napangiti ako nang makita si Clover. Napatayo ako at sinalubong sya nang mahigpit na yakap

I pulled away from the hug and went to Emir. Nakangisi ito nang yakapin ako

"Kailan kayo dumating?" tanong ko nang humiwalay ako sa yakap
