"Sa walter nalang tayo bumili" sabi ko sakanya habang naghahalungkat ng pera sa purse ko. "Gago wala akong perang dala" i whispered and awkwardly turned at him with a awkward smile on my lips.
"I'll pay then" he casually said.
"Bruh i dont want you to pay for my family's needs" i rolled my eyes.
"Aren't I a part of the family?" he arched a brow at me kaya napatikom bibig ko, i just sighed in his reaction.
"Hindi naman sa ganon" kalmado kong saad "May hiya parin naman ako kahit papano kaya ayaw kitang pagbayarin ng sandamakmak na groceries" i explained calmly.
"Don't worry darling, its alright. Its for our family anyways. And as a man, i know my duty for the perosn i love the most, I'll even die for you" He held my hand and squeezed it while he's using his left hand on the steering wheel. He was smiling genuinely, like he was very happy to be in my family.
"Your smile..its different" I stared at him.
"This was the very first time i felt to have a real family, like they weren't pressuring me, and an always open one. Even though there was a huge black side of your family, the bond was unbreakable" his smile gone wider "I feel so welcomed, such an honor" he kissed my hand.
"that's what a family is, kahit anong mangyari, kahit magkaaway away pa kayo, hinding hindi mawawala yung bond nayon, fights is what make a family strong, like relationships, the more fights we overcome, the stronger our foundation will be" i sweetly smiled at him. "Its just like life, the more problems you solve, a stronger person you will be. Kahit anong gender mo o ano payan, hindi porkit babae ka mahina kana, or kahit lalaki ka at nageexpect sila ng sobra sayo wag mong hayaang ipressure ka nila. Do everything in your own way to survive, and you are not brave if you have never cried. And dying for me is not an option, neither a choice, tumigil ka at baka patayin pa kita ulit" i glared at him
"Woman, your making me fall for you more than i could imagine" he chuckled.
"Im not like other's, sometimes they're just bluffing, and spitting nonsense." i rolled my eyes. "Alam mo yung puro katawan lang? like ano, yung ginagamit yung kurba ng katawan just to have money or umabuso ng pera ng iba? Slut's to be exact, pero diko naman ilalahat, malay mo may storya yung iba tapos yung iba naman malandi lang talaga"
"Yeah right, you can shut up now, we're here"
"Did you just—" he slammed the car's door at my face at mabilis na naglakad paalis, inis ko namang hinampas pasarado yung pinto ng kotse tsaka siya hinabol, binatukan ko siya ng malakas tsaka bumelat bago naunang pumasok sa mall.
"Oh, i didn't expect to see you here!" impit akong tumili at niyakap dalawa kong kaibigan, its Vyne and Jl, they we're my boy best friend when i was is high school. "Gago kayo, ano ginagawa nyo dito?" To be honest, i missed them, halos lagi kaming magkasamang tatlo nung kapag wala si Margaux at Icarus.
"Sinamahan ko yung pamangkin ko e, ang kulit kasi" naiinis na sabi ni Vyne habang pasilip silip sa toms world.
"Napadaan lang, may pinabili si mommy e, tapos nakita ko hayop nato" inakbayan ni Jl si Vyne.
"Oh, how about love life huh? kamusta?" i smirked.
"No comment nalang" they both laughed.
"Ikaw? Kamusta ka? Since senior high dika na anmin nakasama e. Ni hindi ka tumangkad Nay" pangbully agad ni Vyne, ganon kami dati, ako nanay nila and they used to tease me about my ex boyfriends.
"Aba, tantanan moko kung ayaw mong mapuruhan" banta ko, we had a little catch up, before Nic came and wrapped his hand on my waist, they we're still the boy's i taught how to be a man. Mga anak, proud si nanay, dejok "And by the way, Nicholai, my boyfriend" I introduced my boyfriend to them and the atmosphere suddenly went uncomfy, kanya kanyang dark aura sila kaya napatikhim ako "So I'll be going na, thank you for you time" i gave them bith a friendly hug.
Derestso kami agad sa grocery store ni Nic para mabilis lang, ayaw kong madaan sa department store at watsons, baka maubos na naman pera ko kinangina. He's aura never changed tho, pero his body gestures was different, he's more touchy than usual. And his presence, feels like a barrier kaya lahat ng nakakasalubong namin ay agad na lumalayo. That is how intimidating he is right now.
Pumunta na kami sa meat section, umalis siya saglit dahil mag-ccr lang daw siya, when he came back, he was still in that aura and then he gave me a kiss kaya natawa ako ng bahagya "Para kang ako, angrupok mo din" i know he just can't resist me, HAHAHAHA putangina, marupok moments.
"Im sorry for how i acted earlier, i just dont like seeing you with another man" he apologized. "I just feel like ripping off their body apart, and when they layed a hand on you? God my blood was fucking boiling. I want to kill them" he said in a baritone voice.
"They're harmless darling, they're just friends. Old friends of mine" i smiled at him "I like how possessive you are, my heavens take me please" kung dati ay nangangarap lang ako nung kami pa ni Eli? ngayon totoo na, and yes, Eli yung kaibigan ko, we had something back then.
"You know? I have something to confess, like why i hated singing, pero mamaya na" i giggled and we continued shopping, i saw Yanna and immediately greeted her, sabi ko ay magkita nalang kami mamaya sa Kuya J's.
We had a double date and nagpaalam ako na magbabanyo lang kasama si Yanna, i noticed her staring at me kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay "O? Tingin tingin mo dyan?" tanong ko habang naghuhugas ng kamay.
"Ano score?" she asked smirking.
"Uh, friends?" ayaw ko sabihin kase nagtatampo ako, ilang araw ko siyang hindi nakita nun, ni hindi niya ako pinansin nung naglunch kami kasama sila ate.
"Awit naman, naghalikan tapos friends? Nuyon friends with benefits?" Natatawa niyang sabi. Nagaway pa kaming dalawa bago kami lumabas.
"Hey" he smiled at me while i was walking towards our table and game me his hand to hold onto.
Hinawakan ko naman iyon at nakipagpalitan ng ngiti, "Mauna na kami ah? Baka hinahanap nako ng ina ko" Yanna joked bago sila kumaway paalis.
"You seemed pissed, why?" tanong niya.
"Nothing, and great news, i saw my card and I'll pay for this—"
"No" he cut me off.
"Putarages, kung ayaw mo akong magbayad nito yung grocery nalang babayaran ko deal?" i arched a brow.
Napaisip naman siya sabay irap bago ako hinayaang magbayad, aba, hindi porket lalaki sila ay pwede nang abusuhinng mga babae yung double standard thingy nayun. Na sa lalaki lahat ng financial ganorn? Magastos daw kase mga babae and job daw ng mga lalaki na ibigay lahat ng gusto nila, but. No, marunong akong mahiya kahit papaano, tsaka duh, may pera ako, girls has to learn how to be a lady, to a woman.
Mindset ba mindset!
I was hugging him tightly while we're walking back to the car, inalis niya yung kamay ko kaya ngumuso ako "Such a baby" he chuckled kaya napairap ako at padabog na pumasok sa sasakyan. "Your scary as fuck when you're clingy" sabi niya agad pagkasara ng pinto ng kotse.
i made him move his chair backwardsand sat on top of him, heavytinted tong sasakyan ko kaya walang makakakita sa kalandian ko ngayon "Magkakaroon na siguro ako kaya ganito nanaman akes" i sighed and hugged him.
"Gotcha" he was about to move ulit nang pigilan ko siya.
"Let's stay like this for a while, hindi pa anman siguro tayo hinahanap sa bahay"
Welcome back hell week!
