How To Have You (Professors Series #1.)

Chapter 6

(Play the song, it suits the scenes.)

——

"Hey, Joseph! how are you doing?"

Music and voices of people invaded the place, there's lot of people here sa may outside party. We also stopped by a lot of times dahil sa mga taong nakikipagusap kay Samantha at ang iba ay nagpapa-picture rin, I guess she's pretty famous.

"Ma'am Gray, hello po." He politely greeted. "Doing good here."

A man from the counter smiled at us. Mukhang may lahi siya, his eyes were brown and so does his hair, matangkad at maputi rin. Gwapo at mukhang chick magnet. We were already sitting on the stools, Cortez sat beside me pero hindi ko siya pinapansin.

"That's good, these are my friends." Sagot ni Loriel, the man instantly surveyed each of us habang nakangiti, bahagya rin siyang tumango.

"Nice meeting you, I'm Joseph." He said, agad namang nakipag kwentuhan si Sefanie at Celestine sa lalaki.

"What drinks do you guys want?" Loriel asked.

Sumagot sila Sefanie ng gusto nila, I didn't gave any orders dahil hindi ko naman balak uminom ng madami ngayon. Maybe later when I feel like it. I was looking at the menu 'nung may mag salita sa gilid ko, umangat ang tingin ko. Ganon na din si Cortez at ang iba naming kasama.

"I would like a tequila, please." Samantha said excitedly. She was even smiling at the bartender.

"You got it Miss, anything else?" The man asked while smiling. "I'm Joseph, by the way. What's your name gorgeous?"

"Excuse me, asking a customer's name isn't part of your job," I also heard Brianna, bahagya niya pang itinuro si Samantha habang nakatingin sakanya ang bartender. "Also, serve her apple juice."

"What? No," Agad na protesta ni Samantha, raising her eyebrows a bit. "I said I want a tequila."

"I said no, don't be stubborn." Sagot ni Brianna bago siya muling uminom sa inumin niya. Ngumuso naman si Samantha bago humarap at nagsumbong sa'kin.

"Ate, Brianna's being annoying."

I wanted to laugh at her, I definitely know that something's going on between them. But I'll give them their privacy, I raised both of my hands at tsaka ako sumenyas na labas ako sa usapan nila.

"Joseph, please serve her apple juice." Loriel said.

"Pinagbawalan ba naman." Celestine teased Samantha kaya agad na sumimangot ito, she even crossed her arms which caused us to laugh at her.

I glanced at Cortez and she remained silent, 'nung mapagtanto niyang nakatingin ako sakanya ay agad na umangat ang kilay niya, she looked so surprised. I remained my poker face while looking at her.

"Did I heard it right, ma'am?" She asked.

"Heard what?" I asked back, hindi ko alam kung ano ang tinutukoy niya. "What are you referring to?"

"She called you ate." She said.

"Yes, may problema ba doon?" Tanong ko. "Of course she would call me ate, she's my younger sister."

"Oh." She said while her mouth forming an 'O' halatang nagulat siya. "I didn't know that, ma'am."

"Is there a problem with her being my sister?" I raised my brows at her while crossing my arms.
