Chapter 19

Mico's PoV

"Hey." pagbati ni Luis kay Tyrone, who I think di niya inexpect na makikita sa loob ng bahay.

Tango lang ang naging sagot ni Tyrone.

"These are for you and Tita Michelle." pagbaling ni Luis kay Mikay at inabot dito ang apat na naglalakihang paper bags.

"YEEEEY! Thanks kuyaaa! You really are the best!" galak na galak yung kapatid ko habang tumatakbo papunta ng kwarto niya.

"Zup?" tanong ni Luis kay Tyrone habang naglalakad palapit sakin at naupo sa tabi ko. "Didn't expect to see you here."

"He just came to get something I forgot to give him last night." ako yung sumagot.

"And what's it?"

"You see, yester---" di ko na natapos sasabihin ko dahil biglang nagsalita si Tyrone, at hindi ko inexpect yung sinabi niya.

"It's none of your business." blangko lang ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya.

"Actually it is. Because this guy," inakbayan niya ako at inilapit sa kanya, "is my boyfriend. So you don't tell me it's none of my freaking business when you pay him an unexpected visit." nakangiti naman si Luis habang sinasabi yan. Sinubukan kong alisin yung pagkakaakbay niya kaso lalo lang humigpit yung kapit niya.

Tiningnan ko siya nang masama at nginitian niya lang ako nang sobrang tamis.

"Tss." napangisi lang si Tyrone. "Alis na ko." pagpapaalam niya sakin. Tumayo na siya at binuhat yung regalo ko sa kanya.

"Hatid na kita sa labas."

"Hindi na." nilingon niya ako na may seryosong expression sa mukha niya. "Baka makaistorbo pa ko sa inyo ng BOYFRIEND mo." binuksan niya na yung pinto pero napatigil ulit nang may maalalang sabihin. "Nga pala, salamat dito." aniya na ang tinutukoy ay yung regalo ko sa kanya.

Nang makaalis na siya. Siniko ko si Luis sa tagiliran niya para maalis na yung pagkakaakbay niya saken.

"Ah." daing niya habang nakahawak sa tagiliran niyang siniko ko. "Why d'you do that?"

"Why are you doing this?! Why do you keep on telling him that we're boyfriends?"

"I told you, I am trying to help you."

"I already told him that we aren't anything but friends."

"What? Why?"

"You know, I appreciate the fact that you want to help me, but please stop it now! What you're thinking is wrong. He doesn't feel anything for me, and telling me that he does just gives me false hopes. And then I'll just get hurt again. And that's something I don't want to happen again!" seryoso niya kong tiningnan.

"You know what? When a guy does something outside of the norm, that means he's interested." Hindi ako nakasagot. Iniisip ko lang yung sinasabi niya. Nalilito ako. "Trust me. Give me a week, and you'll know how he feels for you." tumayo siya at lumabas na rin ng bahay. Naiwan akong nakatulala at iniisip ang mga sinabi niya.

Totoo nga kayang gusto rin ako ni Tyrone? Ang sarap niyang pakinggan, oo. Pero..napakaimposible nun. He is straight, and someone has already captured his heart kaya hindi talaga kailanman mangyayari yung iniisip ni Luis.
