DEL FRANCO BROTHERS: Alexis (The Charmer) (PUBLISHED) (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twelve

"What was that?" I pushed him off. "Why do we need to pretend in front of Adien?" I put my hand on my waist and glared at him.

"Why? Are you in love with him?" He asked, looking so angry and irritated.

My mouth widened in shock sa sinabi nito. "Are you insane?" I shouted, terror is so evident in my voice.

What's freaking wrong with him. Adien? Really? That would be incest!

"You're so damn worried about what he will think. I just assumed you feel something special for Ade."

"Of-course I'm worried sa kung anong iisipin ni Adien. He's my best friend and he's definitely special pero hindi katulad ng ini-imply mo."

Geezz! Naiinis akong umirap dito. Magkaka wrinkles talaga ako sa lalaki nato! Naiinis na tumalikod nalang ako kay Alexis at baka kung ano pa ang magawa ko.

But he suddenly grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. "I'm sorry sweetheart? Forgive me?" He asked in his puppy face. Glint of anger and irritation are long gone in his eyes.

Ok? What was that? Kelangan ko na bang i-kunsulta sa mental tong si Alex? What's with the mood swing? Hindi na talaga normal yung kinikilos nitong lalaki nato.

"Sweetheart?" He pleaded, flashing his sexy smile at me.

Shucks! Ako yata yung dapat magpa kunsulta sa mental. Tamang ngitian ako ng ganon.

I swallowed hard. Bakit parang pakiramdam ko sobrang nanuyo yung lalamunan ko sa sexy smile ni Alexis? Hirap magsalita ng maayos kung ganito kagwapo yung nilalang na nasa harap mo.

Wait! Wait! Wait! Saan na napunta yung inis ko kanina? It's vexing to look at him. Regaluhan ko kaya ng maskara tong si Alex for my own benefit. Sakit sa puso ng mukha nya eh.

I groaned inwardly ng wala na talaga akong makapa ni miski katiting na inis para kay Alex. "Forgiven." I let out an exasperated sigh.

"Thanks Sweetheart." He grabbed my hand at nakangiti ako nitong hinila papunta sa sasakyan nito.

I just drew a deep breath. Wala na. Taob na ang bataan.

Kelan kaya magkakaimbento ng gamot sa limot pag ibig? Yayaman kung sino man yung makaka imbento non. Sakin palang tiba tiba na sya, bibili agad ako ng isang sako.

===================

Hindi ko maiwasan na magtaka at mapakunot noo habang naglalakad kami ni Alex papunta sa table nila Mama.

Nakita ko sila Tita Rose at Mama na seryosong nakatingin saming dalawa ni Alex habang si Adien naman painosenteng nakatingin lang samin habang umiinom ng whisky?

Ok. There must be something wrong in here? Whisky? Though sanay namang uminom si Adien dahil lagi syang laman ng bar, bawal pa ring uminom si Adien ng kahit anong alcoholic beverage in front of his Mom and my Mom kaya bakit may hawak na whisky tong lalaki nato?

What's going on? At bakit ang seryoso nila Tita at Mama. I looked up at Alex na kaswal lang na naglalakad sa tabi ko. I subconsciously grab his shirt which made him stop from walking.

He looked down at me and frowned ng mapagtuunan nito ng pansin yung expression ko. "What's wrong sweetheart?" I can hear a hint of concern and panic in his voice.

Oh God! Ano bang iniisip ko. It's just Tita Rose and my Mom. No reason to bother pero bakit ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko?

"Nothing." I can feel myself blushing from embarrassment habang mabilis kong inalis yung pagkakahawak ko sa damit ni Alexis.
