The Sneaky Plan (Completed)

- Chapter 20 : We're dating? -

"You okay?"

I nodded kahit hindi naman talaga ako okay. Ano bang nangyayari saakin. Dati naman di ako ganito. I know what's right and what's  wrong. Alam ko yung makakabuti sakin at yung hindi makakabuti but now? Shit, ni hindi ko alam ginagawa ako.

"Liar." he said at umupo siya sa tabi ko. Gusto ko sanang paalisin siya sa tabi ko because I want to be alone pero parang mas kaylangan ko ng kaibigan ngayon. "Alam kong may iniisip ka jan. Anong problema mo Alice. Baka makatulong ako."

I told him everything. He listened on every word I said. A few times he opened his mouth but didn't say a word. I told him about Bella and her plan and my goddamn feelings for Danger.  I freakin' told  everything.

Since the day that Bella arrived here, hindi ko na nakita ang presence ni Danger. It's been 1 week already. Kahit anong trace ni Danger, wala . My 1 week seems so off. Ugh, I hate this feeling.

He just sigh. "Life is really simple Alice, but you insist on making it complicated." He said.

"But... It is really complicated Drake." I said and closed my eyes. Ang hirap mag explain. "M-mahal niya si Bella. Diba?"

"Hayyy." He said at nag stretch ng kamay niya. "I don't know Ali.  I can't answer that question. Di ko na rin masyadong nakaka-usap si Danger lately.Di rin naman ako si Danger para masagot yan....but for now, the best thing to do is, have fun and kalimutan mo muna siya. Na sstress ka lang e."

I pouted.  "How can I do that? Mag ba-batangas daw kami nila Bella bukas. Tell me how?  Eto pa, irereto daw ako sa friend niyang galing Europe na si Lance! Ugh. Ayoko nga!" I said and I crossed my arms.

"Simple. Wag kang sumama." he shrugged. I wish ganon lang kadali. Hindi naman ganon kadali yun e. Pipilitin parin ako ni Bella at gagawin niya ang lahat para lang masunod ang gusto niya.

Nagulat ako nung napapitik siya sa ere sabay nag smile siya. "Want me to go with you? Use me or whatever as long as you're okay, I'm cool with it."

I blinked twice. Drake is really my life saver. No wonder nag ka crush ako sakanya dati. Nahh, he's still my ideal guy no matter what.

Napaisip ako,pag mag-isa lang kasi ako bukas, i-bubugaw ako ni Bella kay Lance at isa pa, maganda na rin siguro na kasama ko si Drake para maging busy din ako. Pag kasama ko kasi siya, nakakalimutan ko mga bagay bagay.

The next morning came too fast. Last thing I know, naglalakad na kami ni Drake papunta sa rest house namin dito sa batangas. Since the main gate was too far from the house, naglakad nalang kami. Wala kasi kaming dalang kotse ngayon.

"Drake." I said sabay tigil ko sa paglalakad. Lumingon siya saakin. "Thanks. Thanks sinamahan mo ako dito ngayon."

He smirked. "Mahal ang bayad ko."

I pouted. "Magkano."

Ibinaba niya yung bags na buhat buhat niya. He shook his head. "Hindi magkano." sabi niya.

"Eh ano?" I said at itinaas ko yung kilay ko.

Agad niya naman tinuro yung pisngi niya. "Kiss."

"What?!"

He laughed at my reaction.

"Your face though." He said in between his laughs. Kumunot ang noo ko. Kainis talaga 'to. Trip niya nanaman akong asarin. "I was just kidding."

Tinapon ko sakanya yung pillow na hawak hawak ko. "Jerk."

"Pogi naman." he said at nag wink pa siya. I shook my head at nagpatuloy ako sa pag lalakad.

Nung nakarating kami sa bahay ay sinalubong kami ng care taker at tinulungan kaming iakyat ang mga gamit namin sa mga kwarto.

Inakbayan naman ako ni Drake. "Alice, wala bang makakain? Nagugutom na ako." He said.

"Ano bang gusto mo?" I asked.

Tinignan ko siya at hindi ko ata gusto yung ngiti niya with matching wiggle pa ng kilay. "Ikaw."

"Manyak mo." Sinuntok ko yung sikmura niya at dahilan ng pag aray niya. Natawa nalang ako .

"Sadista ka talaga. I was just kidding. Araa-aay." he complained. Natawa nalang ako.

"Ah, tinatawanan mo ako?" He said.

"Di ata obvious?"  I laughed.

"Ah ganon?" He's trapped me in his half embrace. Kainis talaga 'to.

"Drake? Alice?" Napalingon kami sa nagsalita. It was Bella and Danger having a glass of juice.

"Are you two dating?" sabay nakakalokong smile ni Bella saamin. Lumaki naman ang mga mata ko at agad kong tinanggal yung kamay ni Drake na naka half embrace saakin.

Hinatak naman uli ako Drake. "Yeah we are dating." he said habang naka smile.

Siniko ko si Drake at binulungan ko siya . "You want to die?"

"Makisakay ka nalang. Lance or me. " He whispered. I know it's stupid para maki sakay sa trip ni Drake pero pumayag ako.

"Ahehe." I said at nag smile nalang sa kanila.

"Alice. You never told me that you two were dating. Edi sana di ko na inirereto si Lance sayo. Sorry Drake. Wow, this is so unexpected. I can't believe you guys are dating." Cindy said tuwang tuwa.

"Ahehe. I can't believe it either." I said smiling af.
