Boy Next Door (LeAga)

LeAga

"Here we go again." Lea whispered as she started to pick up her shopping bags. She almost forgot them as tiredness invades her whole being. They just finished shooting and she badly wants to marry her bed right now.

"I'll send you home." Lea jolted with Aga's sudden appearance. "Oh, did I scare you? I'm sorry." He apologized as he started to collect the bags and made way to his car.

"Aga.." She said almost whispering. "Masyado na yata akong nakakaabala. Let me just take a --" "No." He said firmly. "You won't be taking a cab at this late. Masyado kang maganda to go home alone."

Just then Lea felt her cheeks hot and she knows she's blushing now. How can he make her blush that fast? What power does he have to do that plus the fast heart beat like a beating drums of hers? Ugh. Aga Muhlach!

"Sing for me." Aga said looking at her smiling then back to the road in the middle of the ride. She smiled and asked, "What song do you want?"

"Grenade." He answered eyes still on the road. Grenade

He'd catch a grenade for me but I didn't do the same.

"Can't you try to request any other song please?" She asked looking at him. He suddenly stopped the car and if not for the seatbelt, her face may have been destroyed. "What the hell?! Bakit mo ginawa yun?" Aga chuckled. "Sorry. Muntik ka pang masubsob. Nabigla lang. I thought you know all the songs kaya ayun." Aga chuckled and did a peace sign which made him look so cute.

Wait, what?

"You're cute." Lea commented and giggled. Aga looked at her and thought, This woman's way different than other girls. She's gorgeous, carefree. She's just one of a kind. Aga smiled still looking at her which she noticed. "Is there something you can see that I can't? You are smiling like an idiot--" "You. Your beauty." Lea was puzzled. Anong pinagsasabi ng mokong na 'to?

Aga smiled. "Hindi mo nakikita kung gaano ka kaganda." And an instant, Lea's cheeks turned crimson red. "Magrequest ka na habang malayu-layo pa tayo." She avoided his gaze and looked at the car's window. "Sige na nga. Wildest dreams na lang."

Lea smiled. At least it cannot be their theme song or safely said, not yet. If you know what I mean. She started singing and the whole ride was filled with her angelic voice. He would sometimes join her singing only to get a death glare from her.

"Thank you Ags! Would you like to come in for coffee or juice or anything? Mom would be pleased to meet you." She asked him while opening the door. He is behind her; hands on his pocket, back leaned on the side of his car.

"Hindi pa kita nililigawan ipapakilala mo na agad ako sa mom mo?" He chuckled. "Sira! Pakidala sa loob yung paper bags, please?" She even twinkle her eyes to convince him and it's also her way to force him to stay. Nothing's free on this planet now. Kahit kape man lang maibigay n'ya pabalik sa kanina pang abala na dulot n'ya kay Aga.

Upon entering, Mommy Ligaya who came from upstairs welcomed the two. "Thank you sa paghatid ijo. At ikaw, bakit mo iniwan ang kotse mo at hindi nagpasundo?" "Ma naman. Nakakahiya." She glanced at Aga who is obviously trying to hide his laughters. Para kasing batang pinagagalitan si Lea ng mama n'ya.

"Wag n'yo na hong pagalitan Mrs. --" "Mama. You can call me Mama." Mommy L smiled at him while Lea on the other hand had her eyes widened. Aga chuckled. "Hindi ko pa nga ho natatanong kung pwedeng manligaw, hinatid ko palang ho. Baka mag-assume ako n'yan ma." Nagkibit-balikat lang si Mommy L.

She walked towards the kitchen and said, "Assume all you want anak. Kahit hindi mo na yan ligawan." Lea's jaw met the floor. What did her mom just say? Aga laughed upon seeing Lea's face. He walked towards her and semi-hugged her thru her shoulders.
