Ano nga ba tayo?

Chapter 15

The dinner when well. My parents seems to like him and my brother James is okay with him too.

"So.. See you tomorrow." I said as a sign of goodbye. "See you,"

I hang my hands on his shoulder and he hang his on my waist. I pull him below the CCTV to avoid being seen. "Did you enjoy?" 

"Are you kidding me?" He said with a straight face. Did my parents cross the line or what. He seems not happy with it. "I really enjoy the dinner especially your parents are cool and kind." The little nervous I felt earlier fade away and replace with a smile.

"Sige na umuwi ka na. May klase pa din tayo bukas. Ingat ka ha." I kiss his cheeks and their is his smirk again. Cute smirk!

Hinila ko na siya palabas ng gate. He turn his back on me to open the door when his phone ring again. I saw that he declined the call again. "Bat ba hindi mo sagutin yan? Kanina pa may natawag sayo baka kailangan ka." Umiling naman siya.

"No need, those are just managers who wants me to endorse their products. They should contact my manager and not me."

I slowly nodded. I trust his words. Tama nga naman siya, hindi dapat siya ang tinatawagan at kinukulit dapat ang manager niya kasi sila ang mag rereview ng products bago niya iendorse.

"I'll message you when I get home." Aniya niya bago umalis. Pinanood ko lang naman ang sasakyan niyang makalayo.

"Is he gone?" tanong ni daddy ng makabalik ako sa loob ng bahay.

Dad likes Marco. Ayon sa kanya kanina ay okay lang na lumabas labas kaming dalawa basta alam nila kung saan kami pupunta at anong oras ako uuwi. I know na pinoprotektahan niya lamang ako pag katapos ng lahat ng nangyari nuong mga nakaraan. Nag iisa din akong babae kaya alam ko iyon.

"Take a rest now, hija." I nodded at Mommy when she get closer to us. I kiss their cheeks and go to my room.

Nag message nga din sakin si Marco na nakauwi na siya at nag good night. Nagreply naman ako kaagad ngunit hindi na siya nag reply pa. Baka busy or nakatulog na kaya iyon na  lamang din ang ginawa ko.

Nagising lamang ako sa isang katok. I check the time and it's still early. "What!" I exclaimed. My bed is pulling me and not to get up. No one speak but instead the knock continue. I force myself to get up and open the door with my eye close. 

"What?" You can say in my voice that I'm irritated.

"Good morning." That voice woke me up! Nakabihis na siya at mukang fresh. At ako dito bagong gising, hindi ko pa alam ang itsura ko. "What the heck are you doing here?" I cross my hands on my chest ng naalala kong nag alis nga pala ako ng bra kagabi. 

"Let's go to school together." I quickly nod.

"Okay. You wait downstairs, baka pagalitan tayo nila daddy. I'll take a bath now." I yelled from inside the bathroom. I check my face on the mirror. My hair is a mess and I look so puff.

Mabilis naman akong naligo, thinking na nag iintay si Marco sa baba ngunit pag labas ko ng banyo ay nanduduon siya sa kama ko. Natigilan ako ng nakita siyang bored na nakatingin sa kisame.

"You should wait downstairs. Nakita ka ba nila mommy?" Umiwas siya ng tingin ng nakitang naka towel lamang ako.

"G-go and c-change now!" I giggled hearing his voice. "Hindi magandang nakaganan ka sa harap ko." I just nodded while laughing at him.

Pumasok na ako sa small walk in closet ko para magbihis ng uniform then lumabas ako para bumalik sa banyo at mag blowdry. "Nakita ka ba nila mommy na tumaas dito?" 

Umiling siya. "Wala daw sila sabi ng helper niyo." Nakahinga ako ng maluwag duon dahil pagagalitan kami pareho pag nakita kaming pababa ng hagdan na mag kasama. 

Mabilis na akong nag ayos bago niyaya siya sa baba. I get a sandwich and a fresh milk before pulling him outside. He open the door for me. I eat my breakfast on our way to school. Hindi ko nakita si kuya kaya tingin ko ay nakina Mary na siya.

I am seeing only few students because it's still early in the morning. I wrap my hands around Marco's arm because no one would see us but I'm wrong. Its Kurt and his new girlfriend, they are walking towards us. Kita ko kung paano kumunot ang noo ni Kurt sa amin ni MArco. When we pass each other he intentionally bump Marco's shoulder.

"What is your problem, dude?" Ani Marco. 

Ayokong mapaaway kaya hinihila ko na agad si Marco ngunit di ko siya kaya lalo na at mag malaki siya sakin. "Marco, stop." I whisper. I felt how his hand loosen. He stand back with me but still looking at Kurt. 

"We are not done," Kurt said ng napansin na aalis na kami.

"You want a fight?" Marco asked. I am caressing his hand that crumple again. Oh nooo! Ramdam ko na ang tension ng dalawa kahit na pinipigilan si Kurt ng kasama niyang babae.

Mukang nakita kami ng school guard kaya lumapit kaagad sa amin. Pumagitna din ako sa dalawa.  Hoping that one of them won't punch me. "Stop it!" Nilingon ko si Kurt but Marco quickly pull me to his side.

"Let's go," he said with a strong voice. I didn't look back on Kurt but I heard his curses. "Don't fight with him, okay?"

He look at me with no expression. "Tss! You still love him." It's not a question but a statement.

"No. It's not that. Wala na akong pake sa kanya. Ayoko lang mapaaway ka at masira ang image ng dahil sakin. May mga work ka kaya dapat hindi ka masaktan. Ayokong magalit sakin ang mga fans mo." 

Kita ko kung pano nawala ang inis niya. He is more relax now. "Really?" He bite his lips like he's stopping his self to smile.

"Of course! He's an asshole and you're a God gift to me. " I didn't know kung saan nang galing yun.

"I will never hurt you, Jelai." I smile at him them rap my hands around his waist. He makes me blush so easy. I am lucky that I met Marco.
