Chapter 16

The awkward aura that I was feeling is now all gone as we eat our lunch.

"I'll be accompanying you with your enrollment." He suddenly blurted out.

"Sasamahan na ako ni Joaquin." Kaagad kong komento.

I finished my chicken hurriedly. I wasn't that hungry when I woke up but when I saw the fold that he brought, I suddenly felt like I haven't eaten for days. 

"Then sasama pa rin ako." He insisted.

My eyes looked for the box of macaroons, but it was nowhere to be found on the table.

"Bahala ka...where are the macaroons?" Then I looked at him beside me.

He drank his water. "Garbage. It tasted bad." He casually stated without looking at me and continued eating his meal.

"What?!" Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.

Halos mapatayo ako sa sagot niya. I got his attention but looked at me plainly.

"Kuya Sandro loves someone else." I looked at him puzzled.The hell is he saying?

I stood up and quickly walked towards my garbage bin. And viola, he really tossed it bare in the bin. Bakit hindi ko man lang namalayan na may ginawa siya.

"It tasted bad for me. I don't like it."

Naiirita akong napatingin sa kanya. "What are you even saying? Nagsasayang ka lang ng pagkain. I should have eaten all of it!" I bursted out.

Ilang segundo siyang napatulala, then heaved out a heavy like he just realized something.

"I'll bake you some." Tila naiirita nitong sagot.

I rolled my eyes at him and washed my hands on the sink. Bahala siya sa gusto niya. First, maarte siya sa fast food, though he tried it while we were in Baguio and now he just dumped the macaroon in my garbage bin.

Ha has no manners when it comes to food.

Iniwan ko siya sa kusina na naiirita pa rin. I opened my phone and received a missed call and a text from Joaquin, informing that he won't be able to accompany me. It's fine, I can do it all alone at ang habol ko lang naman talaga ay makita siya pagkatapos ng mahaba habang bakasyon namin.

I wore my sleeveless dark green dress that almost reached my ankles, a black sandals and my oversized black cardigan. I also packed my requirements and readied my shoulder bag and I am good to go.

Lumabas na ako at nakaabang na siya sa akin sa may sofa. Muli akong nakaramdam ng pagkairita.

He quickly stood up when he saw me, scanning me from head to toe. The satisfied look on his face was very visible after checking me out. Of course, he was satisfied with it, my dress almost reached my feet. And my black cardigan is covering my skin well.

We got out of my unit at hindi pa rin nawawala sa isipan ko ang pagtapon niya sa macaroon na dala niya. And now that I am carving for it, bibili ako pagkatapos kung makapag enroll.

"We'll use our car." He suggested it while we were inside the elevator.

"Okay." I simply responded. Tinatamad rin naman ako.

Akala ko pupunta pa kami sa parking pero nasa harapan na ng building namin ang sasakyan niya habang naghihintay ang isang valet.

The valet gave him his keys and El opened the door for me. My brows furrowed as I watched him enter the driver's seat.

"Wala ka namang unit dito, how come you can access the valet?" I curiously asked.

"Just brought the top floor."
