Bad Boy, Good Lips

Chapter 12

"Anong meron sa inyo nung Luke?" Anthony asked habang nag iikot kami at mag checheck ng mga cottages ng mga bata.

"Huh?" Wala sa sarili kong tanong

"Wala ka sa sarili mo simula kanina nung sinundan ka ni Luke sa labas" Puna niya

"So something really happened earlier huh. Akala ko tsismosa lang talaga yung ibang staffs dito." Graciella commented

"We just talked about some matters." I said

"He looked pissed nung bumalik siya sa dining. Di na nga niya tinapos yung breakfast eh." Anthony shared

"Let's just stop talking about him. Baka may makarinig pa satin sabihin interesado tayo sa kanya." Saway ko sa kanila

"Yun ba ang dahilan? Or you just wanna avoid the topic." Graciella commented

"Why do I feel that your pushing me to that guy? Lagi kang ganyan." I said with a bit of irritation

"Gusto ko lang ilabas mo kung ano ang totoo mong iniisip, masyado kang maraming inhibitions. Why don't you express what you really feel?" Tila naiinis na rin na sagot ni Graciella

"Graciella stop. Ayokong mag away tayo dito. I had enough, Luke is enough to ruin my day please." Nasabi ko na lang

"Know what? Be real. Hindi ka uunlad dyan sa pagtatago mo mg feelings." She said

"Uh guys I think you need to chill. Baka may makarinig sa inyo." Awat samin ni Anthony.

"I'm done here." Nakataas pa ang dalawang kamay ni Graciella ng sabihin iyon. "Just talk to me when you're real." She said as she walked passed by me.

"Palamigin mo nalang muna yung ulo ni Grace." Anthony said as we continued to walk

"She's always like that. Pushing me to Luke." I said

"Maybe she knows what's best for you." Anthony said

"How can he? He's already in a relationship, he doesn't have the qualities that I look for a guy." I answered

"Sometimes you'll never get the happiness that you want if your always looking at the bright side. You need to experience dark sometime, Sophie." He said meaningfully

"Hay nako ang gloomy ng mood natin. Let's just stop talking about that." Nakangiti kong sabi upang maiwasan na ang topic na iyon

"Okay. Sana lang maayos nyo agad ni Grace yan." He said.

Natapos naming ikutin ang buong Bethel upang i-check kung may mga bata na naglalaro kung saan saan

Nang bumalik kami sa office ay hindi namin inabutan na roon ang mga staffs. Si Grace na lamang ang tao roon. I need to talk to her. Hindi pwedeng tumagal ang inis niya sa akin.

"Grace let's talk." Graciella just looked at me

"If your just gonna say that I should stop partnering you to Luke okay fine. I'll stop." Sabi lang niya na parang walang emosyon

"No Gracey. I also want to say something." I said

"Fine. Tara sa likod." Tumayo siya at nagsimulang maglakad papuntang likod ng office dahil may mga upuan doon at tahimik.

"Anthony wait lang sa likod lang kami balik kami dito after." Paalam ko kay Anthony

"Goodluck!" Sagot niya. Tumango lang akobat naglakad na pasunod kay Grace

"Now what?" Sabi ni Grace nang makarating kami sa likod

"I wanted to say sorry kung nainis man ako kanina. May nangyari lang talaga kanina kaya wala ako sa mood." I said
