Hot

"It's not surprising." sabay lingon sa akin ni Clifford ng nakangisi.

Nagulat ako sa kanyang sinabi. He pinched my cheek.

I want to say it's not true, pero gusto ko iyong sinabi ng 'boyfriend' ko raw. Damn you, Edge! Hindi ko alam kung anong mukhang ihaharap ko.

"So my speculations were right." humawak pa siya sa kanyang baba at tila nag-iisip.

"What do you mean?"

"Years ago, I saw you both kissing at the beach. Days ago, I saw you both continuing the kiss at the beach." My cousin said bluntly. Napahawak ako sa aking magkabilang pisngi. Walang hiya ka, Cliff!

"She have witchcraft on her lips though that's why I love kissing it." Edge said bluffly. Lalong namula ang pisngi ko. What an insensitive jerk!

"Stop it..." pigil ko. They both looked at me. Tumawa si Clifford.

Tahimik lamang ako habang nag-uusap ang dalawa. I can't believe na may alam pala si Cliff at hindi niya iyon pinagkalat!

"The only difference between a bad girl and  a good girl, is that a good girl are very selective with who they're bad with."

Edge bobbed his head. Gusto ko silang sakmalin.

"She'd been bad to me."

"She's annoying, it comes naturally on her. If you don't know; she's clumsy and clever yet slowpoke. Just bear with her if she's acting weird 'coz she came from Jupiter. She's epic, that's why she's my favorite clown."

How dare him to say that to my boyfriend?! Binato ko siya ng face towel.

Boyfriend? Edi pumayag ka rin, Traiva?  Oh My God!

"It's not funny, Clifford!"

"See? she's my annoying clown."

Natapos ang hapon namin sa kwentuhan nila Edge at Clifford and I am their third wheel. Hindi ko alam kung anong nakain ni Edge at naging madaldal siya kanina.

Cliff told Edge na siya raw ang maghahatid sa akin pauwi. Nang dumating kami sa condo ay madilim na. Binuksan ko ang pinto at pumasok.

"Thank you, Teodosio."

"You're not welcome."

"Take care, call me when you're home."

"You're not my mother." tumawa siya at hinalikan ako sa ulo. Pagkatapos ay tumalikod at nagsimula ng maglakad.

"Wait, Cliff."

"What's your problem?" nagtataka niya akong tinignan.

"I'm just wondering. You knew about us years ago?"

"Kinda?"

"How?"

"I still remember the way you gawked at him, it's like you're daydreaming and fantasizing him marrying you. I can't believe you're my cousin. Since you're very transparent, the bliss in your eyes were obvious and from that, I know you're happy." 

"You didn't get mad?"

"Why would I?" nagtaas siya ng kilay.

"I thought you would be the one to break up my relationship." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Why would I take your happiness away from you?

"I'm just surprised. You did not tell it to anyone. Even those times when I'm with Jin."

"Doing stupid thing to break your happiness is the least thing I would do. Remember? I'm your cousin. A protector not a wicked ruiner." 

He even a made a check sign using his hand and put it below his chin. Nagpapa-cute.
