In Every Hues

Chapter 25

Flirt

"Sino magda-drive?" tanong ni Logan habang nakapeywang sa labas ng kotse ko.

I was sitting in the backseat while scrolling through my phone. Tumingin ako sa passenger seat kung saan nakaupo si Tristan. Ino beside me shook his head. Umiling din ako.

I held my phone up. "I'm busy."

"Ako magda-drive, ano?" ngiwi niya at pumasok ng driver's seat.

Natawa si Ino at sinapak ako sa balikat. I smirked and looked at the video I'm watching.

"Hoy, huwag tayong masyadong magpagabi, ah? Hindi ako nagpaalam kay Mommy!" ngisi ni Ino.

Bumaling si Tristan sa 'min. "Dude, you're in college already. Next year, graduate ka na. Magpapaalam ka pa rin kay Mommy mo?"

"Tss, alam mo, Tristan, hindi lahat ng tulad ng nanay mo. Nag-alala nanay ko syempre natural lang na ganito ako!" inis na sagot ni Ino.

Tristan rolled his eyes. "I'm pointing out that there are things that she doesn't have to know."

"Huwag mo 'kong igaya sa 'yo, sasapakin kita!"

I texted Trev when the car's engine roared. Patuloy pa rin ang bangayan ng dalawa. Logan seemed so infuriated because if their pettiness, I guess.

To: Ledesma

Papunta kami sa resort.

"Dude, sunod-sunuran ka kasi kaya ka ganyan. Hindi mo gusto minsan, nagagawa mo. The hell is that." Tristan scowled.

He replied immediately as I licked my lower lip. Bumuntong-hininga ako at napahagikhik.

From: Ledesma

Ingat.

"Naiintindihan ko si Mommy, okay?" daing ni Ino na bakas anng irita sa boses.

To: Ledesma

You home?

"Dude, come on! It's not about understanding, it's about having some backbone! You let people walk all over you, and then you'll complain about it later. What the fuck is that?" Tristan argued more.

Humikab ako habang hinihintay ang reply niya.

"Fighting back just leads to more trouble," Ino shrugged.

I don't know with these two. Ang laki ng problema siguro ni Inocencio at itong si Tristan naman ay akala mo pari para magmisa. Ang aga aga pa!

"You need to say 'no' when you need to. Wala ka bang self-respect?"

Oh, spicy.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Logan sa rear mirror. Ngumisi ako kaya natawa siya at mas binilisan ang pagpapatakbo.

Iverson and the others are tailing us. Mabuti nga at hindi nakiupo si Iverson dito. Baka mas lalong gumulo.

Ino scoffed. "Ayoko ng problema. Mas mabuting sundin siya kaysa na harapin yung consequences dahil lang humindi ako. If that's your opinion, I respect it. But also respect mine, fucker."

Umawang ang labi ko at mahinang natawa. Damn, confrontations like this are so interesting to look at.

"Pathetic asshole," bulong ni Tristan.

Bigla silang nanahimik. Natatawa naman ako sa nakabusangot nilang mukha.

"Oh..." Humalakhak ako.

Logan leered at me. "Really, Yolo? Tristan's right, you're not really a team captain. Tuwang-tuwa ka pa."
