Our Adorable Romance (Montejo Siblings #3)

12

"Is that your reviewers? It's too madami!"

I was in awe as I watched Chandler with a bunch of papers in front of him. We're both sitting in the metal chairs in our garden. It's such a happy, and peaceful afternoon for me.

"Nasa bahay 'yung iba." Aniya, masyadong focus sa ginagawang pagbabasa at highlight.

I'm also amazed because I've been talking to him since earlier, but he still managed to maintain his focus. Hindi din naman siya nagrereklamo, there's no trace of annoyance.

I nodded as I took a bite on the muffin that Chandler's made for me. I saw how he glanced at me, I smiled cheerfully at him and motioned the paper in front of us since I was sitting just in front of him.

This muffin is just so masarap. I'm not being biased, but the muffin that he made is way better than my brother's. Just my secret, though.

"Next month na ang debate niyo, right? I heard  it from Chachi..." I opened the topic when I finished the muffin.

He nodded. I saw how he massaged the back of his neck.

"Makapasok lang ako ng 3rd place, magiging masaya na ako." He said as he grinned.

I pouted. "You're gonna be on first, or champion. Claim it..." But just to think of it; many reviewers, pressure, and all. Siya na ang pinaka representative ng VVU! For sure, many of his opponents are also good. Well, I can't underestimate him, he's a monster after all.

I believe in his capabilities, though.

"You're so positive, I like it..."

Sana all like... Tss, just kidding.

"You should eat muna. Ate Nelia helped me with that lasagna, taste it..."

"Really?" He's amused.

"Yeah, I'm the one who put the cheeze." I smiled, I even clapped my hands a bit.

I heard his chuckles. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at sinimulan nang hiwain ang lasagna.

"Ako na..." Sabay kuha niya ng kitchen knife sa aking kamay.

I let him and just watch on him instead. I really want to make lasagna for our snack since I know he's going to our house earlier in the morning. I'm so excited nga eh.

Nilagyan niya ang aming mga platito, naglagay din siya ng apple juice sa aming mga baso. The good thing is that our glass table is quite big and spacious. There's no problem even if we eat and his papers are just there.

I watched him take his first bite, I was waiting for his expression, alright? He's also watching me as I watch him. I saw how his brow arched when the lasagna finally entered his luscious mouth. He then nodded repeatedly.

"And?" I asked.

"The cheese you put is good..." Aniya na ikinatawa ko na.

I was with him the whole time. I'm just basically there, watching him, and sometimes talking to him. Though, I'm the one who insisted na dito nalang siya mag review sa bahay dahil napag-usapan namin last night that he wants to stroll with me but he has a lack of time.

So I suggested na dito nalang kami and sa other time nalang kami lumabas. Also, I'm still nervous because of those people who might see us. I can't tell naman na he's one of my brothers, right?

"Let's go inside na, it's getting dark..." I said after a while, I even stretched.

"Tapos na din ako." Aniya at sinimulan nang ligpitin ang mga reviewers at folders niya. "Doon ka nalang sana sa loob ng bahay niyo para mas naging kumportable ka." He even tsked.
