Chapter Eighteen

Christopher Ocampo

I mentally smiled by Alex's unique way for greeting me back. Baliw talaga ang babae na to kahit kailan. I closed the hotel door then shifted back my attention to her, who w as standing there waiting for me. Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinawi ang bangs niya na parang tinatago ang kanyang mga mata.

God, she's beautiful as ever. My heart was beating hastily inside my chest and I have this urge to pull her close to me and wrap my arms around her. Namiss ko talaga siya.

"Tara na." Kinuha ko ang kamay niya.

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "Saan tayo pupunta?"

"Kakain." I replied as we strode to the elevator. "Gutom na ako eh."

We went to the hotel's restaurant at the first floor lobby and as we entered I saw my teammates waving at us. Sabi ko na nga ba at gising na ang mga ito at hindi din makatulog.

"Kilala mo?" Tanong ni Alex.

"Teammates ko." Sagot ko. "Tara, pakilala kita sa kanila." Hinila ko siya papunta sa table na kinauupoan ng mga kateammates. All of them are grinning from ear to ear.

"Hello there." Bati ni JJ dito. Alex smiled shyly at her.

"Guys, this is Alexandra but you can call her Alex." Pagpapakilala ko. "Alex, this is Regan, Riley, Logan and JJ."

Pagkatapos kong silang ipakilala ay may lumapit na waiter at binigyan kami ng upoan at menu. Pinasalamatan naman namin agad ito at umupo na. Nakatingin silang lahat sa aming dalawa ni Alex na may mga pilyong ngiti pa din sa mga labi. And I can't help but to smile also and shake my head. Mga baliw talaga ang mga ito.

"It is really nice to finally meet you." Masayang sabi ni JJ.

Confused na ngumiti si Alex dito tapos napatingin sa akin. Napangiti ako dito at napakamot ng batok.

"I kind of told them about you." I told her shyly.

"Kind of?" Riley exclaimed with a mischievous smirk on his lips. "If you could tell a every drinking session to be a Chris's talk show about Alex to be a kind of then I don't what a not kind of means."

Natawa si Regan at Logan sa sinabi ni Riley at napailing naman si JJ. Napatingin ako kay Alex at ito naman ay nakayuko at namumula sa hiya. And I think I am also in the same situation as her. Ang daldal talaga ni Riley.

"Can we just order already." JJ demanded just to stop the three guys from laughing.

"Sure babe." Pagsang-ayon ni Logan pero napatingin pa din ito sa akin na may nanunuksong ngiti sa labi.

Naging maayos naman ang dinner. Maayos in a way na masaya ang kwentuhan at ang mga tuksohan naming lahat habang kumakain. Nakagaan naman agad kasi ni Alex ang mga teammates ko kaya walang problema. And my team was really dying to meet her, ever since I mention her name last two years ago. Pagkatapos noon ay nacurious na ang mga ito kay Alex na in a point na stinalk na nila ito sa Facebook at Twitter. It was the first time kasi na nag-open up ako sa kanila kaya naging ganun sila.

"Are you staying the night Alex?" Tanong ni JJ pagkalabas namin ng restaurant.

"Uhm.." She blushed. "I don't think so, my house is just a two jeepney ride from here."

"Is it not dangerous at this time of night?" Tanong naman ni Logan na napatingin sa relo nito. At dahil dun ay napatingin din ako sa relo ko. Alas diyes na pala ng gabe. I didn't expect that our dinner would last this long.
