REN and The Heartless Devil

CHAPTER LI

"Gabrielle.. are you courting me?" with feelings na pag gaya ni Siege kay Grae. He even hold hands with Aidan.

"Pfft hahaha grabe dude bilib na talaga ako sayo" natatawa pa ding sabi ni Siege. The rest of them laugh too.

It has been ten days since that happened at ngayon ang first day ng pagpasok ni Grae sa school. Ah! I can still remember that time he said that. I was really shock and tongue tied.

I was looking at Grae in disbelief. Waiting for him to say that he's just joking. But looking at his honest expression I can say na seryoso talaga sya sa tanong nya.

"Pffttt" nagpipigil ng tawa yung taong nasa likod namin kaya bigla kaming napalingon. Only to fine Siege and Aidan holding their stomachs to suppress their laugh.

Sobra sigurong nawindang yung utak ko sa tanong nya kaya hindi ko naramdaman ang pagpasok ng dalawa. "What are you laughing at?" Grae's expression turns grim.

The two stiffened from his kind of tone pero kita ko pa din yung kinang ng mga mata nila. "Nothing man, we are just happy you've really grown some balls. Napasobra nga lang." He whispered that last three words pero dinig ko yun kaya muntik na din akong matawa.

"What did you say?" His forehead creased even more. Kaya biglang na alarm yung dalawa at ngmamadaling lumabas. "Just take you're time wooing him Ren" nakakalukong sabi ni Aidan before he finally close the door.

I shook my head and face Grae. He has that hopeful expression in his eyes. "Well?" untag nya sa akin. I said nothing and I just give him a smile. I can't say no while he is looking like this. It would be like stealing lollipop from a kid.

"Why don't you laugh at me too?" His voice wakes me up from my daydream. Seryoso syang nakatingin sa akin, his ears are red.

"Do you want me to?"

"No!"

"Then shut it" at nagpatuloy na ako sa pagkain while the rest of the group are still going over his innocence or maybe stupidity. I don't care really, but it's cute though. Napangisi nalang ako bigla.

"What's with that creepy grin?" Wala talagang nakakalusot sa isang to. I rolled my eyes heaven ward. "Lahat talaga napapansin mo" tamad kong sabi sa kanya.

"I can't help it. I only have my eyes on you." How can he say such thing with sincerity and innocence. Hindi ba nya alam ang impact nun sa akin? "Now what were you thinking that made you grinned?"

"Nothing. I just said in my mind that you're cute when you said those." If he could be honest then I am too. Namula ulit yung tenga nya pati leeg.

"Oh dude bakit namumula ka?" Tukso ni Brent sa kanya.

"Ren said he's cute that's why" they roared in laughter again when Dustin said that. Napailing naman ako, malala na talaga sya.
