Let Me Chase You

Side Chapter (43)

Wendy's POV

"Good morning, honeybunch." Bati ni Sandro na sabay abot sa akin ng iced coffee pagkalabas ko ng gate namin.

I chuckled. "Good morning, hon."

"Let's go?" He insisted. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto ng kotse bago pumasok sa driver's seat.

"Mmmh, you finally got the perfect sweetness. Sobrang tamis nung nakaraan e." I told him when he finally got inside the car.

Pinaandar niya na ang makina ng sasakyan, sana hindi traffic sa Southmoor Road para hindi na naman ako ma-late.

"Let me taste it." He said habang diretso pa rin ang tingin sa kalye.

I looked at him confused. "Hindi mo pa ba natitikman?"

Sandro shook his head.

I offered him my iced coffee, but I was surprised he kissed my lips instead.

I was taken aback sa bilis ng pangyayari.

"So that was the perfect sweetness for you? I'll take note of that." Sandro smirked.

Sneaky bastard.

"F-focus on driving!" I yelled. I looked away para hindi niya makitang kinikilig ako.

"You're blushing."

"I'm not." Depensa ko.

"Oh shit!" Napatingin ako kay Sandro na mukhang problemado pagkalabas namin ng kotse.

We both stopped walking.

"Bakit?" He looked anxious.

"I forgot to bring my macbook. I need that today, I have a presentation and my professor wants us to bring our own laptop." Sandro let out a sigh.

"Shit!" He put his hand on his hip sabay facepalm.

"Balikan mo na lang kaya?" I suggested.

"I can't, I'll be late. I'm the first reporter."

"Wait a minute---" Binuksan ko 'yung bag ko. "Shit-hindi ko rin pala dala 'yung laptop ko." Wala akong maipapahiram sa kanya.

"It's okay, he's not going to fail me just because I forgot to bring my macbook I guess?" Sandro chuckled. "But I really worked hard preparing that. What a waste." I could feel how upset he was.

Ang burgis naman ng prof na 'yun! Kailangan ba talaga sariling laptop? How about the scholars here na wala naman kakayanan bumili ng laptop? Nako naman, Southmoor. Kailan niyo ba aayusin sistema niyo na para lang sa mayaman?

"Baka may dala si Ten! Teka, tawagan---" Sandro cut me off immediately. "It's his rest day."

"Si Genoa, Dylan, o Tim---" I suddenly remembered kung gaano kalayo 'yung building ng tatlo. They won't make it on time kahit pa may laptop silang ipapahiram. Si Lucas naman laging late. Malamang tulog pa 'yun hanggang ngayon.

I don't want Sandro to fail that subject dahil lang sa laptop.

Nag-iisip ako ng paraan when I heard a loud honk behind me. The driver stopped in front of us and rolled down his window.

I'm starting to believe that guardian angels are real.

"Simon!"

He smiled at me. "Caprio, good morning."

"Good morning! May laptop ka bang dala?" Straight to the point I asked. I will do anything para lang hindi bumagsak si Sandro.

Simon looked at me confused. "Yes? Why?"
