When I Escaped

Chapter 18

"Good morning, sunshine. Breakfast is ready. " bati ni Travis.

"Wow! Maka sunshine, kala mo mag asawa tayo." I teased.

Lumanghap siya. "I will savor every moment with you."

I mumbled while tasting the food. "Kakaloka ka talaga, ba't ang corny mo na?"

The corners of his lip rose. "Hindi ako horny."

Nanlaki yung mga mata ko. "Bingi! Sabi ko corny." hingal ko habang may pagkain pa sa bibig ko.

"Joke lang!" Tumawa siya. "Ako nagluto niyan, masarap ba?"

Honestly, the pancakes were so good but I just wanted to mess up with him.

"Anong masarap sa sunog?" I glared at him.

He quickly took the pancakes from me. "Ganon ba? Sige ako nalang kakain nito."

"Joke lang!" sabi ko. "Tsk.. tsk..tsk may hidden talent ka pala baks."

"Gwapo na, masarap pa magluto, ano pa yung hinahanap mo?"

My face distorted. "Pshh. walang gusto ng engot!"

He tickled me. "I love you, Jul."

"What a coincidence, I love me too!" I teased again.

He looked sad when I said that.

Hinatid niya na ako sa bahay.

"Trav, salamat sa lahat."

Tumango lang siya at parang may gustong sabihin.

"See you later?" excited kong tanong.

First time ko tong maging excited sa prom dahil I wanted to dance with Trav again.

Hindi siya sumagot kaya't pumasok ako.

"Jul, don't forget about me!." sigaw niya.

"You're so weird!" I ran towards him and kissed him on the cheek. "iodine lutetium vanadium uranium, too"

Sa bahay, I saw my mom talking with Dynah.

"Good morning." I greeted.

"Aba, mukhang good mood si gerlalu." si Dynah.

"You can go shop with Dynah for the prom, Jul" sabi ni mama.

Tumango ako and went with Dynah.

"Salamat tita Alice."

Tinutulungan ko si Dynah pumili ng kanyang tuxedo at nakita namin si Connor at Ella na parang nag aaway.

"Connor if you want that car, stick to the plan." tili niya.

Umiling siya. "I-I can't."

Ella looks mad when he said that.
"Don't tell me you're fucking in love with that witch? You have a girlfriend Connor!"

May bumulong sa likuran ko. "Hoy chismosa." si Dynah lang pala.

"Kasalanan ko ba may tenga ako? Narinig ko lang eh." defensive kong sabi.

Pero sino kaya yung tinutukoy ni Ella? At may girlfriend pala si Connor.

"Oo na, saan dito yung mas maganda?" Dynah held two tuxedos.

"May girlfriend pala si Connor?"

Inirapan niya ako. "No one cares."
