Love The Way You Lie

"Your order Ma'am and Sir?" binigyan kami ng menu ng waiter.

"Iyong sa amin paki-dala na lang later sa kabilang table. Occupied pa kasi." sabi ni Farrah habang nagtitingin sa kanyang menu.

"What's your favorite? I want to taste it too." patago akong napangiwi gamit ang menu saka nagnanakaw ng silip sa kanilang dalawa dahil tumayo pa upang lumapit si Farrah sa tabi ni Lucas. Her breast is touching into Lucas arm.

desperate.

napairap na lamang ako saka binitawan ang menu and let Elon order for me.

"Elon, I don't want to eat that much. Wala akong gana..." he just smiled at me.

"Two order of pasta and salmon fillet. For the drinks just two iced tea, please." nilista naman 'yon ng waitet saka bumaling sa dalawa pa naming kasama.

"Lucas, are you paying attention? I asked you what do you want because I'll order the same-"

"Isn't it too little? You have to eat more, Calista." napaangat ang kilay ko kay Lucas. Bakas ang gulat at pagkairita sa mukha ni Farrah.

"Lucas." tawag ulit ni Farrah.

Lumingon 'to saglit saka agas na ibinalik ang tingin sa'kin. "I want you to add a beef broccoli for her with rice, please. Thank you." itinuro niya pa ako.

Nakita ko ang pag-irap ni Farrah saka kinausap ang waiter at siya na lamang ang pumili.

"I asked this earlier but how did you know each other?" she's now desperate to know the answer because she is overthinking about my relationship with Lucas.

"I am actually cour-"

Nagulat ako nang putulin ni Elon ang sasabihin sana ni Lucas.

"We're actually his employee from Royal Fortress Winery. Calista and I are both his professional financial analyst." he faked his smile.

That actually save me because I know what Lucas is about to say. But inside my heart, I'm a little hurt...

"Oh... really? Aren't you one of the heir of Silvia's businesses? But why? You're intelligent as your sister right? Why are you working if you can be a boss in your own?" natahimik ako at hindi makasagot sa tanong ni Farrah.

"Farrah, that's enough." parang kulog ang boses ni Lucas that send shivers down my spine.

"Ah, your table is now free..." sabay turo ni Elon. "I think we were interrupting your business conversation kaya you can go and take your time."

Farrah and Lucas had no choice but to stand up and went to their place but Lucas didn't remove his eyes on me.

Damn that deep blue eyes of him.

"Enjoy your meal Ma'am, and Sir." ngumiti kami pareho sa waitet nang ihatid ang inorder namin pati ang inorder ni Lucas sa'kin na beef broccoli.

We started to eat at hindi ko na muling nilingon pa si Lucas.

"Are you good?" Elon notice how uncomfortable I am dahil kahit hindi ako nakatingin sa kanila ay rinig ko ang pang lalandi ni Farrah kay Lucas.

Tumango ako at pilit na ngumiti.

Biglang nag ring ang cellphone ni Elon kaya lumabas 'to upang sagutin sa mas tahimik na lugar ang kanyang telepono. Nagpatuloy lamang ako sa pagkain kahit pa nag-iinit na ang ulo ko sa bawat halinghing ni Farrah.

She didn't changed at all. She is still the same way back on my highschool days. Makapal pa rin ang mukha niya kagaya noong hinalikan niya si Jacob without his consent and now si Lucas naman ang puntirya ng higad na 'to.
