Addicted To Your Kisses (KissWard)

8: Caffè Latte

"Wait? Aizan?" I asked as he beamed a smile at me. "Magkakilala kayo?" Tanong ni Fenech as she looked back and forth sa amin ni Aizan.

"Fenech, right?" Aizan said as she looked at her, his smile now slowly fading.

"Kilala mo sya Kisses? How do you know him? Why is he here?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Fenech her fists now balled.

"Aizan is my cousin." I said still eyeing her fists.

Tapos hinawakan nya yung wrist ko at hinatak ako papunta sa kitchen.

Hala. Anong nangyayari?

"Ate May, please ikaw muna sa counter." Panimula ni Fenech.

And dahil na din ata sa urgency sa boses ni Fenech, tumango na lang sya at pumunta sa labas.

"Christian, pwede pa excuse saglit. I just need to talk to Kisses. Please." Pakiusap nya kay Christian na nagbabake ng cake.

"Sure. Just make it short, kasi may nakasalang sa oven." Tumango lang sya and umalis na si Christian.

"He ditched me on our date." She said na para bang halos manununtok na sya sa inis. I quickly hugged her tightly.

"Oh gosh. I'm sorry Fenech. I really am. Gusto mo kausapin ko? Ano?" I said as she soon broke down in tears.

"Nakakainis. Inintay ko sya halos buong gabi sa resto, tapos ano? Dinitch na pala nya ako." She said and cried harder.

Oh lord. What have you done Aizan?

"Sana sinabi na lang nya na hindi na nya ako gustong idate. Nang iwan pa sya sa ere." Sabi nya sabay singhot.

Kumawala sya sa yakap ko, "Ang gusto ko lang naman eh mag sorry sya. Kahit sa text man lang." She added as she wiped her tears away.

My heart ached for her. Grabe. Napaka douchebag ng move na ginawa ni Aizan. Babatukan ko yun ng malala eh.

"Yaan mo. Ako bahala ah." I gently told her, and nag ding na yung oven indicating na tapos na yung binabake ni Christian.

"You stay here with Christian, kami na muna sa labas ah?" I asked her, tumango naman sya.

"Good. I'll go get Christian na." Palabas na ako ng kitchen ng tinawag nya ako.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Thank you for listening ah." She said as she let out a small smile.

"Wala yun, ikaw pa ba? Gusto mo mamaya dun muna tayo sa flat ko? Kasama si Vivoree and Ate May."

"Sure."

And with it lumabas na ako ng tuluyan sa kitchen. Agad kong scinan yung cafè and saw Aizan on a nearby seat.

"Ate. Saglit lang ah, I just need to talk to him." Sabi ko kay ate May sabay turo kay Aizan na nakatulala sa kawalan.

"Sige. Tell me mamaya kung anong nangyayari. Kasi Fenech does not look fine."

I just smiled and pinuntahan na yung pinsan kong loko.

"Hoy!" I said habang nakapamewang ako. Nagulat sya at halos malaglag sa stool, and humarap sa akin.

"Why did you do such a thing huh Aizan?" I asked still giving him my glare.

"Please hear me out. I'm just so confused and stressed out nung araw na yun." He said, flustered with every word he uttered.

"Sana tinext mo man lang sya. Aren't you supposed to be a gentleman?" I asked.

Sobrang disappointed ako sa kanya, he is really nice like really nice. Mabait sya and every single one of his exes want to have him back due to a realization na my cousin is the better guy.

Pero hindi naman dahil mabait sya eh makikipagbalikan sya.

He is also wise.

Which makes me really confused on what had happened with him and Fenech.

"I know what I did was very cruel. Pero nanakaw kasi yung phone ko nun, dahil na rin siguro sa sobrang confusion and stress ko ng araw na yun." He said with a huge sigh.

"I like Fenech. Truth be told. But when all contacts were lost I just accepted na baka hindi kami para sa isa't isa." He added as he looked outside the cafè through the glass walls.

Nako. Kung wala lang talagang mga customer babatukan ko talaga tong lalaking to.

"Aizan, you just don't do that. Malamang umaasa yung tao, malamang inintay ka nya. Alam mo ba she stayed in the resto hanggang magsara yun?"

Pagkarinig nya sa sinabi kong yun his head snapped to face me with shock all over his face.

"What?!" He asked with both disbelief and amusment.

"You need to apologize to her." I said still my hands on my waist.

"Mamaya, Fenech would come over sa flat ko kasama ng iba kong mga kaibigan. Ikaw nang bahala kung anong gagawin mo sa info na binigay ko. Ito pala yung address." I said as I took a pen from my apron and wrote down the address sa palm nya.

"Make this count Aizan. Please, 'wag mo akong ipahiya."
