PART 2.19 SETTLED

BEA POV

Ate Ella is on her way to the door at nagmamaktol. I was trying to explain kasi about my real relationship with Thirdy as well as what happened during that night when suddenly someone knocks on the door.

So we don't have a choice but to stop and wait for the person who knocks at the door.

Lahat ng teammates ko ay nasa door ang atensiyon at doon nakatingin. Kaya I turn my gaze to Jia sa tabi ko which happens that her attention is also at the door.

Kaya I took the chance to kiss her on the cheek habang busy ang lahat. Then, she turns to me kasi hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi.

When she faced me, I moved closer to her and kiss her in the lips. At first nanlaki mata niya, kasi di niya inasahan.

Then, I hold her at the nape and pulled her closer. I deepen the kiss, that's when she responded. And I forget everything around us.

She closed her eyes and I closes my eyes too. When I started enjoying the kiss, we heard voices around us and trying to get our attention.

"Ahmm."

Then, a familiar voice spoke. It was Thirdy.

THIRDY: "Wow lang Beatriz, ang aga mong maglandi at magpakilig. Ang aga mong mag live show ah."

Then, bigla siyang tumawa. Kaya tumigil ako sa paghalik kay Jia. Yumuko na lang si Jia, dahil namula ang pisngi niya. Nahiya siguro.

Kinuha ko naman yung unan sa tabi ko at ibinato kay Thirdy. Sinalo lang niya at tumawa ng malakas. Lakas din mang-asar ni Thirdy lalo pag trip niya mambwisit.

BEA: "You know what istorbo ka. What the hell brought you here?"

THIRDY: "That is so unwelcoming of you dear princess. I am a visitor, hindi mo man lang ba ako pauupuin?"

BEA: "Ang bisitang kagaya mo, hindi na dapat pinapatuloy pa sa loob ng bahay. Hanggang pinto ka lang at pinauuwi na."

THIRDY: "That's so sweet of you princess. Thank you."

BEA: "Of course I'm sweet, ikaw lang naman yung sour, bitter ka kasi."

Then, he laughs. Di talaga tinatablan ng kahihiyan tong lalaking to minsan eh.

LY: "Thirds, maupo ka muna."

THIRDY: "Thanks ate Ly. Buti ka pa po, napakabait mo. May iba diyan sama ng ugali."

Then, umupo siya sa upuan at lahat ng teammates ko ay nakatingin lang sa kanya.

BEA: "Why are you here anyway? Kung di mahalaga yang sasabihin mo, umuwi ka na. May mahalaga kaming pinag-uusapan. It's about the incident last night."

THIRDY: "Actually, that's the exact reason why I am here. Pinapatsek lang ng parents mo if you are OK or not. Alam na nila nangyari."

BEA: "You told them?"

THIRDY: "Not me. I don't have any idea kung paano nila nalaman. So, they called me early in the morning para lang I check ka. Supposedly ay nasa bed pa sana ako by now."

BEA: "What did they say? Are they mad?"

THIRDY: "Hindi naman. They are more worried than mad. It seems like you are ok naman kaya I don't have any reasons pa para mag stay ng matagal. Ginawa pa talaga akong baby sitter ng parents mo."

BEA: "I'm not a baby, Thirdy. So stop making fun of me."

THIRD: "You are not a baby, you're just their one and only princess. Alam mo naman kung gaano ka bantayan ng mga yun. And speaking of, your dad is calling."
