The Dreamers : Awakening the Veil Book 3

Chapter 1 : Ligaw

Eli's Point of View...

Umagang umaga at papalabas pa lang ako ng unit ko, mukha agad ni James ang sumalubong sakin.

"Anong ginagawa mo jan?" Tanong ko, and he's just standing right in front of my door.

"Waiting for you, tara na" sabi niya and then he smiles at me.

"I told you aantayin kita diba?" He said at oonga pala. Dala ko pa man din susi ng kotse ko. Were both in our uniform. Di ko alam kung anong schedule nito ni James basta ako maaga pa para sa unang subject ko. Maaga lang ako papasok dahil gusto kong tumambay sa library para magliwaliw.

"Pwede ka naman mag doorbell para sa loob ka na nag antay" sabi ko naman ng makalabas kami ng elevator.

"Kadarating ko lang din naman when you get out, and besides I know you don't like someone being around when your getting ready" he said holding the car door for me kaya pumasok na ako.

And he's right. Ayokong may ibang tao aside from Luna pag nag aayos ako, na pre-pressure kase ako feeling ko minamadali ako kahit hindi naman.

"Kahit na" sabi ko naman and when he got in his seat ay diretso na kaming umalis ng building.

He was driving slowly, at di ako sanay knowing na pareho lang kaming mabilis mag maneho.

"Okay why are you driving slowly?" Tanong ko

"It's on purpose, I wanna spend more time with you, after makapasok natin ng Lilian may class na ako, lunch break pa tayo uli mag kikita" sabi niya at gusto kong mangiwe dahil dun. Hindi parin ako sanay sa sweet side ni James kaya imbes na mangiwe at natawa ako ng bahagya.

"Why? Its true. Lalo na ngayon na I'm courting you, I will cherish every moment with you. Anyways after class is Tita home? I wanna asked for her blessing too" sabi niya kaya nagulat naman ako.

"You sure about that?" Tanong ko at tumango naman siya.

"If anjan din si Tito I'll probably ask for his blessing too. I want them to know, I want a legal courting" sabi niya at muli akong natawa

"Fine, si Mommy always nasa bahay lang naman and si Daddy, out of town dahil sa business niya" sabi ko at tumango naman siya.

"Alright were here" bulong niya as he parked his car and I was about to go out ng pigilan niya ako.

"I'm supposed to open your door every time okay? Remember that" sabi niya at napangiti naman ako ng wala sa oras dahil nag pout siya saka ko siya hinayaan na buksan yung pinto ko.

Do I deserve this kind of treatment? Or he's just generous dahil unang araw pa lang ng panliligaw niya sakin? Pag to sa umpisa lang magaling sasakalin ko to.

Sabay naman kaming nag lakad sa hallway ng school and I can see that everyone's eyes are on us. Nang nasa west side na kami ng building ay nag paalam na siya sakin dahil sabi niya, late na daw siya kaya hinayaan ko na sakto lang din dahil naka salubong namin si Shion kaya may kasama na ako.

Shion's eye widened when he saw James kissed my head in front of him before waving us goodbye.

"Ano yun ate Eli? Tama ba yung nakita ko?" Tanong ni Shion at tumango ako.

"Is he courting you?" He asked again at tumango uli ako.

"Pero you like Kuya Mark diba? Tapos gusto ka niya rin?"

"And? Anong point mo?" Tanong ko sa kanya

"Akala ko kayo ni Kuya Mark, so no pala?" Tanong niya kaya natawa ako, yung itsura niya, magkasalubong kilay niya.
