Loving you is Clarity (A Sandro Marcos Fan Fiction)

Chapter Seventeen

Chantall

"Do you know how to cook?" I asked Simon, he's sitting in the stool of my island counter, we just planned to eat here than go outside kasi sabi ni Miss Ain, baka maissue na naman kami. So I planned to cook Filipino foods because I miss cooking.

"Uhm? Kinda?" he answered unsurely so I gave him the spatula. I want to see him cooking.

"What?" he asked me while accepting the spatula.

"You'll cook the adobo and I'll cook the sinigang. Game?" naaalangan na ngiti nito sa akin, so I raised my eyebrows and laughed at him. I know he don't have any talents in cooking.

"I'm just kidding, just help me here. I'll cook. Go get some onions, garlic, red bell pepper. I'll just marinate this first." I told him and he nodded, very good! Masunuring bata, he follows the instruction.

I chopped the chicken and rinse it, I also put some soy sauce, vinegar, salt and also some pepper. I'll just let it sit there first. He's now beside me, carefully chopping the onions and garlic.

Si Miss Aina na pinabili ko kanina ng mga ingredients eh, para kami na ang magluluto for lunch, it should be me alone, so that Simon can be with Miss Aina and Lyka on the Sala watching Netflix.

"You cry last night?" he asked me while chopping the bell pepper so I took a deep breath.

"Nah! I went to sleep agad. Inaantok ako eh, my eyes are swollen din kaya it helped me to sleep early." I answered him and he stared at me.

"Your eyes are still swollen." napairap naman ako, I de-puffed it kaninang umaga pero syempre hindi naman basta-basta mawawala ang maga.

"I know, don't point it out." natatawang saad ko and kinuha yung kangkong sa island counter,

"Do this, I'll start cooking. It's already 11:30 na pala." I told him and gave him the kangkong leaves,

"Did you open your phone?" He asked me so I shake my head.

"Why? Baka Sandro already called you, or messaged you. He'll panic if you won't answer his calls." he told me, so I sighed. I'll just open my phone tomorrow and ask forgiveness,

"Did he call you na ba? Or message you?" I asked him and he also shake his head.

"Mom told me he's in Samar with Dad, wala daw signal doon."

"With the Tarlac's Mayor?" I stared at him and he nodded slowly so I smiled.

"Don't overthink. Huwag mo ioverthink. You'll cry after eh and you look ugly when you cry." Hindi ko naman iooverthink, nakakainis 'to ket kailan.

His phone rang and he answered it.

"What? Why did you call?" he said while facing his phone screen, may ka-vc, girlfriend niya ata. Charot!

"How could you?! You didn't tell me that you're in New York! Sana sinama mo ako. I already missed Channy Baby na." napalingon nalang ako sa kaniya kasi I know who's calling, the great Vincent Marcos.

"You're studying. Don't cut class." sagot naman nito and ihinarap sakin yung phone.

"Channy baby! I missed you! How are you? You okay na? If I see Kuya talaga, I'll punch him for you." he said cheerfully kaya napatawa nalang ako.

"Hello! I miss you too. Don't worry about me. I'm good na, I just take the advices of your Kuya Si. And I'll fix this issue with your Kuya tomorrow so don't punch Sandro na." I answered him.
