All for Naught (NOTHING SERIES #1)

Chapter 7

---

Nangingiti ako, hindi ko mapigilan kaya nag paalam ako sa dalawa na mag babanyo muna.

I have to calm myself if I don't want to be suspicious!

Kasi naman, si Cha, ang bilis makahalata! Yan tuloy, pati sina Beca, naiisip ring sus ako! Ayaw ko kasing maasar nila kaya hindi ko gustong malaman nila.

Aba, iba ang nadadala ng pang aasar. Baka lumala pagka crush ko kay Cairo.

Katakot. Parang mahirap pa naman masungkit ang lalaking yon.

Nang makabalik sa upuan namin ay hindi ko maiwasang mapaangat ang kilay. He's there, serving our order. Damn, I can see his veins and muscles flexing with every move. Tapos seryoso pa itong gumawa ng ganon.

Napabusangot ako ng makita ang dalawa na nakaupo doon. Si Beca ay walang hiyang tinitignan si Cairo, nanliliit pa ang mata na parang pinag aaralan ito.

While Vy is whispering things to her. I shook my head bago lumapit.

Lahat sila napatingin sakin, maging si Cairo which stunned me! Ano ba yan, nakakakilig naman ito tumingin!

He raised a brow bago pinatuloy ang ginagawa. Nang matapos ay umayos ito ng tayo. Hindi pa umaalis.

"Oh, a cappuccino?" I said nang makita iyong nilapag niya.

Hindi ito sumagot but he tilted his head a little then looked at the coffee. I bit the insides of my cheeks, feeling my world in butterflies with his stare.

Inabot ko iyong coffee and sip on it. I bit my lips, liking how it tasted. A great mixture of bitterness and sweetness. It's like it's fighting inside my mouth.

I licked my lips and looked at him. I saw curiosity in his eyes that immediately vanished after I looked at him.

I gave him a sweet smile and even showed him a thumbs up. Napataas kilay ito bago tumalikod na sakin as if he was only waiting for that!

Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang matulala with that realization! Nakakakilig, tangina.

"Ay wawa, di pinansin!" Sabi ni Beca kaya napakurap kurap ako bago nilingon ito.

"Wawa nga," sabi rin ni Vy.

She even copied what I did earlier pero kay Beca niya pinakita. Napabusangot ako, not liking na ako pulutan ng usapan!

"Share niyo lang?"

Hindi pinansin! Bakit siya naghintay, then? Or he was just checking if may reklamo ba ako sa coffee? Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang maisip iyon!

Baka assuming lang ako.

Sige na nga, di ako mag aassume. Kahit sobrang nakakakilig ang naiisip ko.

"Lagot ka, Vy, broken na ang lola mo." Rinig kong sabi ni Beca.

Napailing nalang ako sakanila. They often fight but they also often team up against us ni Cha! Mas close kami ni Vy dahil sa age namin pero pag sama sama, there's an undeniable bond between them.

Or let's just say, we're all equal to each other. Walang mas nakakalamang para samin. It's like, all of us are great for each other. Iba iba ang ambag namin sa buhay ng isa.

Cha is like the mom or the one we asked when it comes to thinking and analyzing for practical decisions. Si Beca ay taga sermon and like our fighter. Both mouth and body of hers can fight others. By is like the bunso who's also mataray and palaaway kaya lagi silang naaway ni Bec.

While me, I'm the best among the rest. Joke.

Ako ang neutral. I can be someone who'll fight with them, who'll make sermon, or who'll stay silent.
