~We can share~

EUNICE AGATHA YTURALDE

Days had passed and it was extremely irritating. Jax has been pestering around!

'He's such a nuisance'

Walang ginawa kung hindi ang kulitin ako regarding the convention and it really annoys the hell out of me.

Gusto ko rin naman makita at makasama si Rigor kaya lang di ko alam paano ko siya haharapin after the convo we had.

'Aish' I heaved a sighed. I am really frustrated because of it. Do you know the feeling of 'Gusto mo siyang makita na ayaw mo.'
Gustong-gusto ko talaga. It's just that I am being a coward.
Sa tingin ko kasi wala na akong babalikan and that idea alone is enough reason of not wanting to see him again. Not just yet. Emotion suicide pag nagkataon.

~Brizzk Brizzk Brizzk~

I stop wandering when my phone vibrated.

"What?" Iritableng tanong ko. Sa taong tumawag na lagi akong kinukunsume.

"I'm on my way to your house." What? He just said that he's coming? 'No way!'

"Don't you dare Jax."I almost yelled. He can't fetch me. My twin is already home. I don't want him to meet this annoying man.

"Why? Malapit na ako oh."Reklamo pa niya. 'Curse you Jax!'

"Pwede ba?! Make you're way out of this subdivision Hintayin mo ako sa Park malapit sa sbdv. Don't you even dare to come here or else I won't go with you anymore."Grabe na talaga ang inis ko sa lalakeng iyon. Kaya nga hindi ko sinsabi sa mga kaibigan ko kung saan ako nakatira para walang mangungulit sa'akin at pupunta dito sa bahay. Tapos siya ganon na lang. Arrgghh.

I cool down myself first before I left my room. Actually kanina pa ako nakapagpack para byahe namin papunta ng batangas kung saan gaganapin ang convention.
Nang makababa ako naabutan ko pa so Euan na nanonood sa living room. Napabaling siya ng tingin sa'kin.

"Aalis ka?" Tanong niya tsaka pinatay ang tv.

"Oo. May covention kasi akong aattenand."

Lumapit siya sa gawi ko.

"For how long? Parang ang dami mo atang dala."
Napansin niya yun mini-luggage na hawak ko.

"Hmm two days lang twin. Sa may batangas lang. Alam mo naman ako I can't go with limited clothes and without my necessary things."Sure he knows that ganun naman talaga ako eversince. Kahit dati pag may fieldtrip kami nung high school ni Euan. Talaga naman halos bitbit ko ang isang side ng closet ko.

"Okay. Ingat sa pagdadrive huh." Paalala niya tsaka ko hinalikan sa noo.

"I'm not going to bring your car. I'll be hitching a ride with a colleague." Liar eunice. Since when did Jax became your colleague. He woudn't even pass that label. For me He's just a mere stranger that I unfortunately bumped in.

***

"You know what? You should try their pasta. It's the best. I heard you like pasta."
Were now on our way to batangas and he's been talkative since we left the city.
Tango na lang ang sinagot ko sa kanya. Bakit ba kasi of all the time na malilimutan ko yun earphone ko. Ngayon pa?! Hindi ko tuloy matakpan yun tenga ko.

"I have been there twice and I want to go back there with you."He said non stop.

"Shut up will you? You're giving me headache." Inis na singhal ko sa kanya.

"Easy. Masyado naman mainit ang ulo mo." Sabi niya na ngingisi-ngisi pa.

Kalma eunice. Kalma.

"Ang ingay mo kasi. I want to sleep. Can't I?" Medyo iritable ko pa din tanong.

"Y-yeah. Sorry for being loud. Ayoko lang magkaron tayo ng panget ns athmosphere while on our way." Tipid na ngiting ani niya.

Bigla naman akong tinamaan ng kaunting konsensya.

Okay stop it Eunice. Jax is a nice guy minus the fact that he's a lil loud.
'Fine! I won't be hard to him." *sighed* 'I'm gonna try.'

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude but I'm lack of sleep last night. May emergency case kasi kaya madaling araw na ko nakauwi." I sincerely said. It's true we had an emergency case last night. Good thing that it is not that severe.

"Hmm. No problem. Sorry din kinulit kita madyado." He scratch his head with his left hand while the right one stays on the steering wheel. He's cute with that position. I shook my head with the idea.

Nginitian ko na lang siya tsaka ako sumandal sa upuan at baahgyang nag bend paside. Sinandal ko yun ulo ko sa bintana and close my eyes thingking of nothing. That's what I do to be able to sleep easily. Thinking of nothing.

****

"Hey sleepy head wake up.
Dr. Eunice wake up." Somebody said while caressing ma face. I slowly open my eyes at muka niya ang bumungad sa akin. For the first time napangiti ako ng makita ko ang mukha niya. He has a very beautiful eyes. That's what I like about him. Those eyes......

"Are you okay?"He touch me in my forehead, feeling my temperature. When his skin touches mine I felt an unknown feeling. Para akong naground. May static ba siya.

"I'm fine." Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya at umayos ng upo habang iniaayos ko ang buhok ko.

"Were here. Let's go?"aya niya. Tinanaw ko ang labas ng sasakyan and I saw a big signage of 'Welcome to Canyon Cove'.

***

"Good morning Miss. We are attending the convention hosted by Mr. Chiong." Jax said to the receptionist.

"May I know your name sir?"

"Jan Alexander Demetria." Did he just say Demetria?
Is he related to Dr. Lincoln?

"You may proceed to the function hall. They're in Oceanis."The lady said as he gave a piece of paper to Jax. Which I think is a guide or map to this place.

"Thanks. How about our room reservation?" She type on the keyboard and scanning names in the monitor.

"Here it is sir. Room 212."She handed the key card.

"How about for Eunice Agatha Yturalde?" He knows my full name. Wow. Samantalang ako ngayon ko lang nalaman ang buong pangalan niya.

"I'm sorry sir but there is no reservation under that name."

"How did it happened? My secretary called here last tuesday and booked a room for her."He sounds so pissed.

"Let me check it again sir." At taaka muling tumipa sa keyboard at masuring nakatingin sa computer.

"I'm sorry sir but there is really no reservation under that name." Napabuga naman sa hangin ang halata mong inis na inis na si Jax

"Alright then. Give her an exclusive room. Any of it will do." Malungkot naman na napailinh ang receptionist.

"I'm very sorry but we don't have any available room at the moment. Fullybooked po kami bukod sa weekend po ay may dalawang malaking event ang idinadaos ngayon."Sincere na paghingi nito ng paumanhin.
Napakamot na lang sa ulo so Jax at talaga nga naman mababakas mo sa mukha niua ang pagka-asar. I never saw him this pissed. Palaging yun muka niyang masaya at nakangiti ang nakikita ko sa twing kinukulit niya ako.

"I'm sorry Eunice. I didn't expect this to happened."He's really sorry. I can see it through his expressive eyes. Nginitian ko lang siya kahit na ang totoo ay nababahala ako kung saan ako mag-iistay ng dalawang gabi.

"I hope you don't mind but we can share a room."Aniya sa medyo may kahinaang tinig pero sapat lang ang lakas upang marinig ko iyon.

'Do I have a choice'

"Sige." Iyon na lang naisagot ko. Dahil napapagod na din ako sa kakatayo dito at sa pag iisip kung saan ako pipwesto mamayang gabi.
Hindi ko nga alam kung tamang magsama kami sa iisang kwarto. Hindi naman sa may gagawin kaming masama. It's just that we aren't even in a couple. Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng makakakita sa amin. Kung sa bagay wala naman nakakakilala samkn dito.
