..Keeping My Bestfreind's Heart.. (Lucky Aces) Book 1: For The Love Of AC

Part 20: Boys talk

Lucky's POV

Saturday!! I wake up in the usual hour. I took a bath and went down to have my breakfast. I saw everyone is already in our dinning table. I greeted them at once.

"Morning mom, morning dad, morning Carlitos" and pulled a chair and settled my self.

Mom put my meals in my plate. "How's your sleep baby?" Mom asked me.

"Mom, Kuyah Lucky is not a baby anymore" Carlitos said while busy in his food.

I just smile of that though that mom still call me baby.

"It doesn't mean he's grown up e hindi na siya baby ko" Mom explained while doing asikaso to dad.

"Bastah Mom, don't call me baby anymore when I reach at Kuya's age hah!! Carlitos said

"Carlitos, it will be long pa" Mom added "and please don't be in a hurry for it, I don't wanna think that my boys will be leaving us soon" Mom said while I saw tiny droplets of tears forming in the corner of her eyes and she's wiping it with the back of her palm.

Mom is getting senti lately, I guess she watch teleserye to much.

"Hey honey, don't you think your just thinking too advance"? Dad consuling Mom. "Lucky is only 15, he'll be having a girlfriend first" Dad making tukso of me.

"Hoy Lucky my girlfriend kana??! mom exclaimed while her eyes looking at me wide open.

"I.. I don't have, I mean I still don't have" I said stuttering and trying to find a right word to explained.

"Honey, binata na si Lucky, anytime he will be bringing girls in our house, so you must be ready for it" Dad said while sipping his coffee.

"Diyos ko Lucky, wag mo akong gagawing Lola agad hah!! Mom keep on bubbling.

"Is kuya Lucky will be having a baby mom?" Carlitos interrupted

"Baby, you finished your food okay, and don't interrupt again with old ones conversation hah, understand baby?" Mom said lecturing Carlitos.

"Okay" Carlitos said ang give a sounding sigh "haaay..I wish I will grow up fast so I can join olds conversation"

Mom, Dad and Me just laugh at Carlitos kekulitan..the whole breakfast is full of fun and of course Love. I always saw Mom serving dad and take care for his needs, in home or in office. I wish I could find a great girl like my Mom.

Suddenly AC came into picture inside my mind. I didn't notice I just smile out of my imagination.

After breakfast I decided to stay in our living room for a while before I will go to AC's house. I keep on thinking the hug which me and AC shared last night. It made me smile..so wide..that I didn't notice Dad is approaching.

"Hey buddy! it seems you wake up in a good side of bed today" Dad tap my shoulder and sat beside me in the sofa.

"Hey Dad, I just had a wonderful sleep last night, and I think I don't have a reason not to be in a mood today."

"Hmm..let me guess it, sinasagot ka na nang nililigawan mo?" Dad said while guessing a scenario.

"Haha, dad I'm just happy today, thats all, no further reason." I defended.

"So wala ka pang nililigawan?" Dad keep on insisting that topic.

It made me think for a while..yeah! I don't court her yet.

"Ah dad, theres this girl I actually wanted to court, but our situation holds me back" I told dad trying I can get a good advice from him. If there's one thing I'm  really thankful of having him as my Dad, it's because I can talk to him without hesitation.

"When you love a person son, you love her for no reason, and if it is love you truly felt right now, Love will always find a way to clear things out between you and AC." he said pointing things out. But what made me astonished is he mentioned AC's name. I couldn't speak for a moment. I look at Dad full of surprise, like trying to ask how the earth he know???!!

"You were so surprised, don't you? he said while a laughing a bit.

"You are my son, I know you from the tips of your hair down to your toes, I can see through your eyes that you are starting to fall for her"

I guess there's no use of denying it anymore.

"Dad, we're Bestfreind, what if she will see this in different perception and she will stay away from me, I don't wanna lost her"  I told dad confirming his hinala. Well, his my dad after all, he will always be the man I will look up to.

"Son, you can't have both things in one time, just take it one by one, AC is not narrow minded, tell her what you feel, or else hide it, and you might  regret in the end, you will always be stuck in what if"

"But what if she doesn't feel in thesame way dad?"

"Son, that is the risk of falling inlove, get ready to be rejected, to be hurt and to fail the expectation you wanted" Dad telling me like saying I should pursue what's on my heart that is now beginning to occupied a larger space in my mind. Such a great dad!

" Thanks Dad," I told him and we're having a buddy hug.

Our moment is cracked by my phone that is vibrating. Message!

I open my phone to read the message and its from the girl who we're talking about. AC!

AC's message: where are you? don't forget your promise..😒 (with emoticons in the end of the message)

I just smile and start to type on my keypad for a reply.

Reply:  Yeah, coming😚 with a kiss.

As soon as I saw the sent noti, I stood up hurriedly and ask permission to Dad and Mom.

"Hey dad, I'll be going to AC's house today, I promise to help her cleaning her staffs."

"Naks, paraparaan son" Dad making tukso of me again. I just scratch my head and went to the kitchen to ask permission from Mom also.

"Mom, I'll be going to AC's house today, don't wait me for a lunch, I will be having it in their house."

"Okay, and don't forget to tell AC to pay as a visit tomorrow hah." Mom responded

"Yeah, I told her already, she said she will be here" and kiss Mom's cheeks

I pass through our living room and saw dad already reading a newspaper.

"Hey dad, I'll be going, bye"

"Okay, galingan mo hah" Dad said and I cound't get what he's trying to imply.

"What?! I ask dad confusely

"I said galingan mo ang paglilinis" he said and laugh.

I just shake my head and went on my way out.
