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

Chapter Thirty-seven

Ok. Calm yourself Angelica. Nakasalalay sa mga kamay mo yung magandang mukha ni Seth.

What do I need to do?

Think Angelica and you need to think fast.

I looked up at Alexis who's walking dangerously close towards us with his unreadable expression.

Darn! My Bana is so hot.

I shook my head to clear my indecent thoughts.

Focus Angelica! You need to focus.

In a minute, Alexis is already in front of us, looking so intimidating with his stiff posture and blank expression.

I cleared my throat. "Bana ko. Already finished talking to Katrina?" I asked with my sweetest voice and puppy eyes expression.

It always works and it needs to work now.

I saw Alexis faltered for a second bago ulit bumalik yung lukot sa pagitan ng mga mata nito.

I sighed. Failed.

I need to try another tactic.

I raised my hand to touch his chest and buried my face in the crook of his neck. "I miss you, Bana ko." I mumbled.

Alex sighed and after a few minutes, snaked his arms around my waist.

His arms tighten around me holding me close against his. "You're not playing fair." He whispered in my ear.

Victory! I thought and grinned.

I looked up at him, still using my pouted lips and puppy eyes expression. "Don't you miss me?" Kunwari na tanong ko dito sa nagtatampo kong tono.

"Of course, I miss you." Medyo mabilis at nababahala na sagot ni Alex.

I tried to hide my grin.The table is turned. Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit marami ang nagiging sadista.

"You wicked woman." Alexis gasped while pointing at my face.

Darn!I let my guard down.

Nakita tuloy ni Alexis yung ngisi ko. Amp!!

"What?" I asked, feigning ignorance.

"You can't fool me this time. What are you doing?"

I just tilted my head to act innocent. "Dancing?"

He raised his eyebrow as his lips turned up. "Who is he?"

"Ricky's cousin. Pretty boy." Medyo napa bilis na sagot ko dito.

Darn it! Act cool Angelica.

"Pretty boy?" He parroted and scoffed.

"He's pretty." I said in much conviction.

Napatingin ako kay Alexis at mas lalong nag ekis yung mga kilay nito.

Oopss!

Darn it! I forgot about the rules.

Never compliment someone specially another guy in front of a jealous man kahit sabihin pa na kasing taas ng sikat ng araw yung katotohanan ng sasabihin mo o magugunaw na yung mundo.

I stared at him, giving him the best innocent look I could muster. "But you're prettier."

Alex sighed and shook his head.

Ang lihim na hinihiling ko lang ngayon eh sana wag magtanong si Alexis ng pangalan.

Please. Wag yung pangalan.

Darn! Bakit ba ginamit gamit ko pa kay Alexis yung pangalan ni Seth dati?

"Name?" He inquired.

I sighed and cursed under my breath.
