If we're on Faerie Land, maybe, maybe I could lift up my magic on her.

Washing her sadness away.

"Stop staring at her with such a face." bulong sa akin ni Amo slash Daddy nang dumaan siya sa kusina. "It's really uncomfortable, you know." suplado niya pang sabi at pinuntahan ulit siya sa sofa.

Mga trentang hakbang ata ang ihahakbang mo para makarating ka sa malaki naming living room.

I pursed my lips and take a sip on my cup. Umiinom ako ng milk. Yung binigay naman ni Daddy sa kaniya is hot choco.

She's still wearing my adidas jacket. She glanced at me right after holding the yellow cup that Daddy gave her to drink.

I saw them talking in low voices because I'm away so I stood up from kitchen stool and walked towards to them while holding my cup of milk.

"I'll just spend one night here then tomorrow morning, I'm off."

"Okay." Daddy nodded.

I pouted and sat on the left side of the sofa that she's seating at. Mahaba ang red sofa dito at sa dulo ako nakaupo, sa kamay pa ng sofa.

"Just live with us." sagot ko kaya napatingin silang dalawa sa akin.

"Ano?" she was shocked.

"Are you kidding me, dude?" pinagtaasan niya ako ng kaliwang kilay.

Binaba ko ang tasa ko sa gilid. There's a vanity table near on my seating position and close to me is the lamp on grey stand, it's turned off though.

"I mean, she practically ran away from home." I shrugged my shoulders, looking at Sasha eating her snacks. "Aww?!" hawak hawak ko ang kanang braso ko habang tinitingnan si Daddy, kunot noo.

He shakes his head. "You can't decide things on your own. And besides, I don't actually mind a lost girl like you stay here with us. I still have money to spend." he glanced at her.

Napanganga naman si Fely sa amin, pinagsasalin ang tingin sa aming dalawa. Siguro iniisip niya may pinagmanahan rin ako papaano.

"Hindi na, uuwi ako bukas ng umaga."

"You sure?" he asked.

She smiled a bit before looking at her cup, holding it with her two hands. "Yeah, thank you." then she smiled at him and me.

I sighed and smiled a little. Tumayo ako at kinuha yung mug ko sa table. "I'll get ready your stuff upstairs." aalis na sana ako ng pigilan ako ni Daddy.

"Ako na." then he let go of my wrist before walking.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang maupo na lang at hayaan siya. Baka palayasin ako pag nagmatigas ako e. Yes, love na love niya ako... pero nung aso pa ako syempre! Feel ko nga naging awkward kaunti si Daddy Lance sa akin e, now that I am a guy in his age too.

"Who's him?"

Napatingin ako sa kaniya. I did introduce Daddy as my best friend. But never told his name. Hindi rin kasi nagpakilala si Daddy Lance, basta niya na lang kinamayan si Fely na may ngiti sa mukha at super bait pa kung magsalita.

"Lance Sivelleno." sagot ko sa kaniya.

Umawang ang labi niya bago sumimsim sa kaniyang tasa. "Magka-apilyedo? Weird." she whispered after.

"Ah!" she got surprised when I exclaimed like that. Pinitik ko yung thumb and point finger ko sa kaniya, smiling awkwardly. "We are brothers! Best friend ko."
