Laws in Love II: Spencer Ace

Chapter 4

We were both quiet as we waited for my father. My heart continues beating that way and when I finally saw my father’s wrangler, I stood up immediately and breathed in deeply. It is kinda suffocating being close to him.

And thinking about it now, this is the very first time that we have our alone time together and this is probably the longest as well.

Papa stopped in front of us and I quickly pulled the door of the passenger seat, avoiding talking to him further but it was locked. Papa then got out of the car and opened the door for me instead.

Naramdaman ko naman ang presensiya ni Spencer bigla sa tabi ko at kita ko ang paglipat ng mata ni Papa sa kanya.

“Spencer! You are Spencer right?” He enthusiastically asked, making my cheeks redder.

“Yes, Sir. Magandang gabi po.” Pormal nitong pagbati.

Nalipat ang tingin ko at tuluyang napaharap kay Spencer na nakaharap na kay Papa.

“Oh! Right! I saw some of your pics on my daughter's phone.” 

Nanlaki ang mata ko kay Papa at hindi ko alam kung may mas ikapupula pa ba ako sa lahat ng narinig.

“That’s not true, Papa.” Awat ko pero parang wala na akong kawala.

I felt like a highschooler getting caught with his crush after years. Nakakahiya! Sobrang nakakahiya!

“Saw it, as clear as the day. Crush mo siya diba? Matagal na?”

Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad na napatingin kay Spencer na seryoso na ring nakatingin sa akin.

“I knew about that, Sir.” He responded seriously while still looking at me.

God. Tumalikod ako ng tuluyan at sa sobrang pamumula ko ay hindi ko na kayang tumingin sa direksyon niya. Sumakay ako ng tuluyan sa sasakyan at linock ang passenger seat. 

I even heard Papa chuckling, making me facepalm from too much embarrassment. Our car is tinted but I just wanna scream in embarrassment right now.

I could hear their faint sounds and after a few more minutes, my anxiousness grew more wilder when both of them remained talking. 

Ano bang pinag uusapan nila? Bakit ang tagal naman yata?

My hands were itching to open my door to interrupt them but then I saw Papa walking beside the driver seat while Spencer looked in my direction. 

Napaiwas agad ako ng tingin dahil pakiramdam ko alam niyang nakatitig ako sa kanya kahit na tinted naman ang sasakyan namin. 

“Spencer is good, galingan mo manligaw, Nina.” He teased which made me scoff at him.

“I’m not obsessed with him, Dad!” I defended myself.

He turned on the ignition with a teasing smile on his face.

“You made it sound like I am obsessed, Dad.” Nasasaktan ko pang dagdag.

Umiling siya sa akin at tuluyang pinaandar ang sasakyan namin. 

Agad naman na napunta ang tingin ko sa side mirror at nakita roon si Spencer na nakatayo, nakatitig sa papalayong sasakyan namin. Muli ay umiiwas ako ng tingin pagkatapos.

“You are quite obsessed, hindi ba nak?”

I groaned at him and stomped my feet.

“No, Dad! I just like him—”

“You like him for years, tama?”

“God, talking to you is nonsense.” I surrendered and pinned my back to my seat.
