Okay, this is it! I'm standing in front of this well-built house with a guy who happened to be my boyfriend of four years, then became my ex few months ago and now.. he's my.. he's....

"baby" wika ko in a low tone. Napatingin sya sakin at ngumiti

"y.."

I ran inside not even letting him finish.

"waaaah.. ang baby ko!" habang hinihimas ko ang sasakyan ko "huhu.. my Eos. my poor Eos. kanina ka pa ba dito?"

"tsss.." habang ipinapasok nya ang mga bagahe ko

"are you alright? hindi ka ba kinawawa ni manong Delfin?" still looking for any dents or scratches

"tsss. kahit magdamag mong kausapin yan, di yan sasagot" sarkastikong sabi nya

"so? none of your business" giving him an annoying look

"then, what would be my business then?"

"exactly what you're doing" sabay tingin sa mga hawak nyang bag

"ah eto ba? tsss" grinning "do you want me to put them all back and let your precious EOS do the work?"

"oh my gee! are you kidding? san ka nakakita ng sasakyang gumagawa ng mga bagay na tao lang ang gumagawa?"

"your baby EOS"

"whaaat?!"

"why not? kinakausap mo nga eh? tanungin mo kung pwedeng sya na bumuhat ng mga bagahe mo"

I can feel my ears heating. Nakakainis talaga sya. He really knew how to trigger my patience. Ugh!

"kung ayaw mong buhatin, leave them all there! It's not like hindi ko kayang gawin yan!" I said bluntly

"if that's what you want." raising his hands up as he put all my baggages back to the trunk

Whaaat?! He really did it? What a jerk. So ungentleman!

"oh? What's with the look?"

"seriously? Mister Merced?"

"yes. Mrs. Merced" as he crossed his arms leaning on the door side.

I know I was pallid due to blushing that I parried my gaze away for him not to recognize. It was how he said it. That "Mrs. Merced" thing. It was only my childish imagination before that I was being called Mrs. Merced.

"you don't have to hide your blushing. You are way too obvious"

Holding and patting my cheeks. Damn.

"I knew you too well that when you look away you're..."

"stop!" this conversation need not to continue. He knew me too well I need to be more careful about my feelings so as my actions. "just.. Get inside and finish your stuffs"

He went back to the car and started to unload my things.

"what are you doing?"

"can't you see?"

"tss. What I mean, bakit mo ginagawa yan?"

Lumapit sya sakin with my stuffs in his hands.
