ALMOST

Chapter Fifteen (unedited)

Hi, sorry for the long wait. May nagbabasa pa ba? So, I've been busy, sooo busy. Charot! Pero seryoso naging busy ako. Idagdag pa ang pagkasira ng lappy at tablet *sigh* phone lang gamit ko ngayon. Haba ng preamble, alam ko namang tamad kayong basahin ang author's note gaya ko eh. Haha! I know right. 😘

"Wow! Kamukhang kamukha niya talaga si Enzo. Akala ko wala na akong karibal ngayong wala na si Enzo." Sean whispered a little too loud for my liking.

"Shut up, Westley!" Pabiro ko siyang inirapan.

"What? I was just kidding. He look so worked up though." He said.

"He's always like that." Maikli kong sagot habang binubuksan ang front door ng flat ko.

"But what is he doing here?" Sean ask while following me inside my house.

Napaisip ako. Oo nga noh. Hindi niya sinagot yung tanong ko kanina.

"I don't know." I replied absentmindedly.

"Well.. Wanna watch some movies?" He asked while making himself comfortable on my couch.

I nod and headed to the kitchen to make something to eat but I immediately remembered I haven't went to supermarket yet.

"Hey Sean, how does pizza sounds?" Tanong ko bago umupo sa tabi niya. "Ano yan? Oy Pagong, ayoko ng horror ah!" I immediately protested when He picked Annabelle from my DVD rack.

In which tinawanan niya lang ako sabay pitik ng mahina sa tungki ng ilong ko.

"Duwag ka pa rin? Yet you have a tons of horror DVDs here. Anyway, pizza sounds good." He said as he stood up para isalang yung Sa DVD player yung Napili niyang movie.

While he was busy operating my appliances, I quickly made a phone call to order some pizza and coke.

I groaned when The movie started.

"How old are you? How to train your dragon? Seriously, Sean?"

"Hey, don't judge me! I love toothless." Then he adorably grinned at me.

He was about to say something when the doorbell rang. Thinking it was the pizza I ordered, I cheerfully hop out of the couch.

Without peeking through the peephole, I opened the door with a big smile. Only to be greeted by The grumpy looking Trixie.

"Oh, bakit disappointed ka? May iba kang inaasahan?" Nakasimangot na asik niya sa akin.

Problema nito?

Eksakto namang dumating yung delivery boy ng tinawagan kong pizza parlor.

Nginisian ko si Trixie na biglang nag-iwas ng tingin habang nagbabayad sa delivery boy.

"Thank you." Nginitian niya lang ako ng matamis bilang sagot.

"Akala ko hinihintay mo si Ivan sungit eh." Sabay belat.

Hindi na ako sumagot dahil nakarating na kami sa living room.

"Oh my God!"

"What?" Nagtatakang tanong ko dahil para siyang naestatwa sa kinatatayuan niya. Sinundan ko ng tingin kung saan siya nakatingin, or kanino rather.

"SEAAAAAAAN PAGONG!!!" She squealed then launch herself at Sean who was so surprised at her sudden attack.

"Hey, Trixie. Its so good to see you again." He said when Trixie finally let him go.

"Ay bongga, British accent! Bet na bet." Maarteng sabi ni Trixie.

Natawa na lang kami ni Sean.

"Uy, How To Train Your Dragon." Tuwang tuwang inayos ni Trixie ang sarili sa single seater na sofa tsaka kumuha ng pizza.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi umupo na sa tabi ni Sean.

Halfway through the movie dumating din si Yanna na mukhabg anumang oras ay bubuga na ng apoy.

"Hoy, babae-" Umpisa niya, but was cut off.

"Sshhh." Sabay na saway ni Sean at Trixie.

Napatitig siya kay Sean sabay tingin sa amin ni Trixie. Pero since nanonood ang bruhang Trixie, sa akin niya ibinaling ang mga mapanghusga at nagtatanong niyang mata.

Umiwas ako ng tingin at nagkunwaring nanonood. Si Yanna naman ay dahan-dahang umupo sa tabi ko.

"Yanna!" I whined when she purposely pushed me towards Sean.

"Sshhh!" Sabay na naman saway ni Trixie at Sean.

I focused my attention on the screen again only to be bothered by Yanna.

"Becks, bet ko siya." Kinikilig niyang bulong sa tenga ko.

"Yanna, naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo? Huwag ka na ngang nagsasama diyan kay Trixie." I whispered back.

"Yanna, Amber, ano ba? Manonood ba kayo o magbubulungan? Umalis na lang kayo kung di kayo manonood. Nakakaistorbo kayo eh." Sita sa amin ni Trixie.

Wow ha! Last time I checked pamamahay ko 'to eh.

Pero imbes na sumagot, tahimik nlng akong nanood.

Hindi ko namalayang nakatulog pala ako sa kalagitnaan ng movie.

Naalimpungatan ako sa kamay na humahaplos sa buhok ko. I tried to open my eyes but I'm too sleepy so I didn't push it.

Nagising ako kinabukasan na maagan na magaan ang pakiramdam. I stretched a little bago pumasok sa bathroom para maligo.

Napatingin ako sa suot kong damit. I was wearing jeans and white shirt yesterday. Looking at myself in the mirror wearing my favorite spongebob pajamas, made me wonder who changed my clothes.

Pagkatapos kong maligo ay dumiretso ako sa kusina. Nadaanan ko ang living room, pero hindi tulad ng inaasahan ko, malinis na malinis at walang bakas ng mga bisita ko ng nagdaang gabi.

I am busy making myself a bowl of cereals when I heard the doorbell rang. Inilapag ko ang hawak kong bowl at nagtungo sa front door.

I cursed myself for not looking at the peephole first before yanking the door open when I saw the person standing at my doorstep.
