"You didn't reply to my message"
I put down my drink and looked at him. Still wearing his outfit earlier, but this time his sleeves are rolled up to his elbow and no necktie.
So handsome...
"I forgot eh, sorry." I said slightly pouting.
He sighed and replied, "It's fine".
"Kasama ko friends ko, they said they want to meet you."
His eyebrows raised as if surprised while sipping his coffee.
"You already told them huh, what did you tell them about me?" he said resting his back at the chair.
"Sabi ko pogi na mayaman yung nabunggo ko, tapos nanliligaw pa sa'kin."
He looked amused by my answer. I saw him smile when he took a sip.
"Ay tapos sabi ni Reira ireto ko daw siya sa kapatid mo, then I replied na 'di ko alam kung may siblings ka, then they laughed" I told him, nagsusumbong.
He chuckled with what I said.
Pinagtatawanan nanaman ako, clown ba ako?!
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin, crossed my arms, and slightly turned to the side.
"You're so cute (italian ng my love), and for your information, wala akong kapatid so wala kang marereto."
When I saw my friends approaching, sinabi ko kay Enzo na paparating na sila.
I waved at them and mouthed 'ito siya' pointing at him.
Pag lapit nila, I saw the two admiring him, lalo na si Reira.
"This is Vincenzo Capponi, Enzo these are my friends."
"Zephyra Diaz"
"Reira Santiago, nice to meet you handsome!"
She was offering her hand for a handshake but Enzo didn't accept.
"Nice to meet you two" he said. I felt his hand snake to my waist then told them that he doesn't like touching people, and don't like people touching him.
Don't like pero nakahawak sakin?
We sat down and the two ordered at the counter.
"Huy nung sinabi mong ayaw mo ng touching, hinawakan mo 'ko! Nakita kaya nila yun." I said lightly hitting his arm.
"But it's true that I don't like touching, except from you ofcourse."
I felt my cheeks heat kaya uminom nalang ako ng drink ko.
"And I wanted to show them that I'm yours, I don't like one of your friends, I think she likes me." he added.
Kumunot noo ko sa sinabi niya.
"Si Reira?" I glanced at where she is, nag uusap sila ni Zephyra.
He just hummed. Dumating na silang dalawa with their order.
"So, may kapatid ka Vince?" tanong ni Reira.
Vince?
"Grabe nickname agad Ra?! Feel ko nga 'yan si Elie, full name ang tawag sakanya." sabi naman ni Zephyra.
Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. Because it's true, I looked at Enzo to see his comment.
"She called me her victim and even put 'Mr.' together with my full name." he said looking at me teasingly.
"Ayos lang na tawagin nyo akong Vince, nothing more" he added.
Hmm bakit yung sa'kin may option?
Tinignan ko siya and wanted to ask him, pero naunahan ako ni Reira mag salita.
"So, may kapatid ka nga Vince?" she repeated.
He just shook his head and finished his coffee.
Inalok ko siya nung strawberry shortcake ko. And he gestured me to feed him, so I did.
"Ang tamis nyo naman, sakit sa eyes" Zephyra said covering her eyes.
I laughed then suddenly, someone wiped Enzo's mouth.
"What the fuck?!" Enzo said looking at Reira, disgusted.
"Ano, m-may icing kasi sa labi mo, kaya pinunasan ko." Reira said, paiyak na.
"May kamay ako, I don't need someone doing it for me." he coldly said.
Reira was crying silently kaya pinagalitan ko si Enzo.
"But she did it without my permission, kakasabi ko lang na ayaw kong hinahawakan ako" he explained.
Pinapatahan ni Zephyra si Reira habang pinapagalitan din siya.
"Bat kasi bigla bigla ka magpupunas ng bibig ng iba?! That's not like you Reira." she said, confused.
Nag sorry siya kay Enzo at sa'kin, on behalf of Reira, kahit wala naman dapat siyang hingian ng tawad.
I also said sorry to them and to Enzo. He sighed and said he should go.
"I'm sorry for the trouble." he calmly said.
"It's fine, mali ni Rei yun I'm sorry again for invalidating your feelings" sabi ko naman, playing with his tucked in shirt.
He pulled me to a hug and I looked up to him, pouting.
He muttered something in Italian, making me forrow my brows.
Ano daw?
He smirked and kissed the top of my head. Tapos umalis. Leaving me schocked. Lumapit sakin si Zephyra and asked me kung bakit ako nakatulala, I just shook my head and pinuntahan namin si Reira.
"I'm sorry Elie! Hindi ko alam na ganon reaction niya, akala ko joke lang yung sabi niyang ayaw niyang hinahawakan siya, since he held you." she said, humina sa last senetence.
I felt guilty dahil feel ko kasalanan ko yung nangyari.
I just smiled at her at napagdesisyunan namin na umuwi na.
