Chapter 26

Nadine

Kier and I are talking about anything when Lance sat beside me then tapped my shoulders. I faked a smile then gave him a questioning look.

"Hey, do you guys want a coffee?" He asked politely. I glance at Kier and he just shrugged. Tumingin ulit ako kay Lance at ngumiting tumango.

"Thanks." Pahabol ko ng tumayo na ito at bumalik sa isang tent kung nasaan ang mga pwede naming kainin. Huminga ako ng malalim at napatingin ulit sa kausap ko pero nakasunod pala ito ng tingin kay Lance. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Hoy. Anyare?" I asked him as I poked his arm. He just looked at me for a second then to Lance again.

"Who's he?" He asked like he's really curious based on his expression. Tumingin ulit ako kay Lance na nakatingin pala sa'min. He waved his hand and I just smiled. Kier murmured something.

"Siya si Lance. At ganyan talaga 'yan." I told Kier. Inirapan niya naman ako bilang sagot. Agad akong natawa dahil para itong bata,

"Ano 'yan ha? Selos ka?" Biro ko at hinawakan ang buhok niya pero tinapik niya ng mahina ang kamay ko.

"Tsk. Ako? C'mon. He's Lance, the kuripot at mahangin." He opens his arm then grinned. "Duh." He rolled his eyes, mimicking my voice.

Napatawa ulit ako.

"Paano mo naman nalaman 'yan?" Nagtataka kong tanong. Umiling lang ito na parang hindi makapaniwalamg hindi ako naa-amaze sa katalinuhan niya.

"Jenny. I talked to her on messenger once. She told me about your suitor." He shrugged. Agad nalukot ang mukha ko nang malaman kong nagchat na pala sila ni Jenny. But I'm not jealous, okay? I'm pissed off. Bakit hindi ko alam 'yun?!

"Bakit mo siya ka-chat?"

"Huwag mong sabihin na pati sa mga kaibigan mo ay magseselos ka?" He asked while smiling from ear to ear. I rolled my eyes and avoided his gaze.

"Kapal ng mukha mo." I said in a low voice. "Hindi ako nagseselos 'noh. Curios lang ako!" Humalukipkip ako at tumalikod na. Tumawa lang ito at ginulo ang buhok ko pero agad ding umayos ng upo ng magbalik si Lance dala ang tatlong tasa ng kape.

He gave me one as so with Kier then he sat beside me. Tinignan lang ni negro ang tasa na parang sinusuri pa niya habang ako ay nakailang lunok na,

"I'm harmless." Lance chuckled. Kumunot naman ang noo ni Kier at tinignan si Lance.

"Sinasabi ng gunggong na 'to? May sinasabi ba ako?" Tanong ni Kier sa'akin kaya napakagat ako ng ibabang labi at pinanlakihan siya ng mga mata.

"You were saying something?"

"Ang sabi ko, ang bobo--"

"Ah, he said. Thank you for the coffee. And he wants to be your friend." I faked a laugh and simply pinched Kier's arm when I saw his hands tightened. Bigla namang tumawa si Lance. 'Yung tawang presko dahilan upang maramdaman ko ulit ang paghigpit ng braso ni Kier.

Lord, paano ba 'to? Paano ko ba palalamigin ang ulo ni Negro at Kano?

"No problem, man. It would be a pleasure to be a friend with Nadine's cousin." He laughed again. Napakagat muli ako ng labi ko. Shet. Napaka-wrong timing naman ni Lance. Nababadtrip tuloy si Kier.
