Their Kind of Love | √

Chapter 9 √

[Marcus' point of view]

I laughed out loud as Tom, my friend, stumbled while trying to get his phone back from Archie's possession.

"Bakit masyado ka namang kinakabahan, dude? Is your phone filled with different kinds of moans?" tukso ni Archie. We all burst into laughter.

"Your imagination is disgusting, dude! Just give me back my phone!" iritadong sabi ni Tom.

I shrug my shoulders and turn my attention back to my phone. Napakunot-noo ako ng wala pa ring natanggap na reply kay Kisses. Kanina ko pa siya tinetext. Ngayon lang naman nangyari 'to. Yes, she's not really into texting but she never fails to reply to my messages.

To: Ms. Beautyqueen
Hey. Why are you not replying to my texts? You busy?

I sighed as I put down my phone on the table in front of me. Kasalukuyan akong nasa bahay nila Raf kasama ang buong barkada ko.

"Dude!" napatingin ko kay Iñigo na iritadong papalapit sa'kin.

"'Sup?" Bati ko.

"Dude, when you told me to stay away from Kisses, nirespeto ko 'yon. Pero ano 'to? 'Pag ako hindi pwede, pero 'pag si Eduardo, pwede?"

I frown in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"Someone told me that Kisses was seen with Eduardo kanina lang! I didn't even know they're close, huh?" he said sarcastically.

I gave him a sharp look, "Neither I."

"What?" Nagtataka nyang tanong.

"If I were you, man, I won't listen to some gossips spreading around. Kisses has nothing to do with Eduardo. They're not even friends. So shut up, alright?" iritado kong sabi.

Aalis na sana ako ng biglang dumating ang grupo ni Heaven. If not for Vivienne, ngayon mismo pupuntahan ko na si Kisses. Hindi maalis sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Iñigo.

My eyes widened when I realized that it's been days simula ng huli kong makita si Kisses. We exchange series of good night's and good morning's but that's it. I'm not aware of what she's doing anymore!

"You okay?" Viv's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

I scratched my nape as I forced a smile to her, "Yeah. Of course."

"Is my Eduardo here?" Heaven asked

I heard Iñigo groans, "What's with Eduardo that girls are all over him?"

Matalim ko siyang tiningnan.

"I don't think so, dude." singit ni Raf.

That's right. Kisses is not all over Eduardo.

"Look at Vivienne. Sure she's not into Eduardo, right?" dugtong ni Raf.

Gulat akong napatingin kay Viv na nananatili ang titig sa 'kin. It's like she's trying to read my mind.

I fake a laugh, "What's with that look, Viv? Oh yeah, I know. I just look so amazing that you can't take your eyes off me, right?" pabiro kong sabi.

She rolled her eyes at me, "Ha ha. Very funny."

Napailing na lang ako sa katarayan niya at pinisil ang tungki ng kanyang ilong. Natatawa naman niyang hinampas ng kamay ko. Napatingin naman ako kay Heaven ng bigla siyang sumigaw.

"What's the matter, Hev?" nagtatakang tanong ni Tom. Minsan talaga parang baliw 'tng si Heaven, eh. 'Di talaga bagay pangalan nya sa kanya.

"Kanina ko pa kinocontact si Eduardo! He's not answering his phone!" iritado nitong sagot.
