"Shut up Drake. Kung ako sayo, pupunta nalang ako sa party mamaya ni Kuya Izzy." I paused, convincing Drake to come to the party. They knew the real me. "Tsaka. Ang secret natin ah? 'WAG NA 'WAG---"
"NA WAG! naming sasabihin ang word na 'Cristoff' ." Drake fill in. Mabuti't alam nating lahat dito.
"And? " tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.
"Don't ever mention your brother's name nor talk about him when Chelsea's around..." Chelsea really don't have a clue about my brother. Or my family. All she knew was, I'm Izzy. I can't blame her. She's blind for me. "Pero panu sa kapatid ni Chelsea? Sasabihin ko ba? Baka may pagsasabihan---"
"No." I cut him off. "Ako ang magsasabi sa kanya." I glance at my watch. "I gotta go." I tap his shoulder before I head to the Dep't of Arts and Science.
'Wag kayo, si Chelsea ang pinunta ko. Lately, I've been busy preparing surprises for Kuya so I never got to break up with Chelsea. At nakakamiss na rin ang 'Baby Izzy' ni Zara.
Man, it's been two weeks I've never seen her! I must be in love.
I stood still in Chelsea's room. I'm ready to break up with her. Then I'll tell everything. Including my true identity and feelings for her sister---
"IZZY KOOOO!!!" Nagulat ako when she suddenly kissed me! A smack!
"Namiss kita! 2 days kitang 'di natext! I'm sorry." She pouted. "So? What should I wear mamaya? 'Di ba birthday ng Kuya Mars mo?" She clung unto me. Izzy Marshall Prado is his true name. He's a half Brazilian. You know the story.
"I'm really excited! And oh, I love you so much! May sasabihin ako sayo mamaya!!!!" She continued and drag me to my car.
May sasabihin rin ako sayo.
And maybe later this night would be the best timing for the break up.
As I look around, Zara caught my eyes.
She's... She's undescribable.
Same as my feelings for her. I need her in the party later.
...
"Chelsea..." I paused, looking in her eyes. "I'm breaking up with you---- *slap*" I deserve that.
Wait. I don't get it--
"Bakit?! Do I look ugly compared to your families?! Did I do something wrong?" She looked dejected. "I don't deserve your rejection, Izzy!" She sobs that her mascara's about to drip below her eyes.
"No. Not at all, Chel... I, I want to have some space --or time! I need to think some things that suddenly occuring in my life..."
I looked down.
"Bakit? Sinasakal na ba kita?" Her tears entirely ruined her make-up.
"Hindi. If I tell you the truth, for sure you won't believe me." I hesitated.
"I will believe you!" Here it goes.
"My name's not Izzy. You don't know me and that's okay for me." I smiled looking at her eyes. "Entirely, I just loved you as a friend. May mahal na ako bago ka pa dumating, Chel." Tumaas ng konti ang kilay nya, still listening. "I'm not using either. And I'm happy we worked out in a short of time." Sabi ko sa inyo, sweet ako eh.
For now, I won't tell her who's that girl. She might have a heart attack.
She sniffed, gave me one last look and went running like a damsel in distress.
It's over.
I'm free. My subconscious said.
I won't disagree, it's the first time it got right. I guess? haha.
...
"Hi Zara." I smiled as I sat beside her.
She's chatting with Kuya--- shit. I should not be smiling!
"Hi Baby Izzy." Her voice was like the ring of a glorious bell. But no, Kuya and my eyes were like big as the saucer. Different things we're worrying though.
"Zara. 1 second?" Without her, saying a word, I dragged her to the table.
"Zara, I'm not 'Baby Izzy' ." I paused, letting out a sigh. "I'm okay if you think so---"
"'San si Ate?" I hold her arm.
"Zara, umalis na sya and my name is just Cris-----"
"Umalis na sya?! Panu na 'ko uuwi ngayon?" She panicked.
'Di nya ba 'ko kayang patapusin?! Hahalikan ko sya! But If I'll do that, I'll get another slap. Tsk. Sayang, she even made my heart flutter in her blue cocktail dress with matching red lipstick on-- napansin nya!
"Wait. Are you looking at my lips?! You've gone too far at looking! You're a pervert!----"
"Wait, No! I'm not thinking other things." Ikaw lang naman iniisip ko eh. "I'm not that kind of person."
She just looked away. Blushed.
I want to touch her cheek... no,stop.
Natandaan kong um-english sya. I grinned secretly. "You speak in english? I like it." Then I smiled.
"'Di ah... Sige, uuwi na----" I didn't let her finish and hold her hand.
"No. Ipapakilala muna kita kay Kuya. And, I'll introduce myself to you." Only you.
Wala na siyang may nagawa. I walked her back where we left Kuya. "Zara, this is my brother, Izzy Marshall. He got the name, not me." I explained. I thought she would freak out, or surprised but. No.
"I know. He introduced his self to me a while ago." She smiled and took my hands off from her.
I'm hell of surprised. This isn't my birthday though.
"I thought you don't speak in English. But I'm surprised Zara... Cristoff, I'm gonna borrow your friend for a while."
That's my line! I can't believe these things! 'Di nya ba nahalata ang HHWW namin kanina?!
I would be happy if he'll try guessing we're going out. But no! He never.
"Cristoff pala pangalan nya? Bagay sa kanya... Magugulat si Ate 'pag nalaman nya yun."
Nalaman nya na, Zara.
"Your sister and him are going out?" I saw he glanced here. Nakalayo na rin sila pero rinig na rinig pa dito.
"Oo. Kaya nga nandito ako eh." Was her response.
"Kumain ka na Zara?" He asked her.
I started getting the tray from the waiter with foods in it. Nagugutom ako and since namention ni Kuya yun, I would give it to Zara nalang. I would give anything to her.
I was walking near to them...
"...Let's go there? I'll introduce you to Mom and Dad..." They stood up at pahina na ng pahina ang boses nila and there.
Tinuluyan na nga ni Kuya. He didn't wait for my approval!
What? SHE'S MY DATE! UGH. Perfect.
I think I'll be hating my brother for doing that and hate her too for being that beautiful!
Any guy would watch and want her! Ayoko mapunta sya sa iba!
'Okay sana kung hindi sa Kuya mo, you could have beat him to his grave.'
SHUT THE HELL UP.
Naitapon ko ang tray sa mesa sa inis.
Grabi ang gabing 'to.
THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME.
I'll be okay with two slaps if ever. Tch.
*
Okay! The Guy's angry. Sino ba kasing hindi?
What if... he kissed her? You think Cristoff's Mom and Dad would catch his attention?
What if... nauna lang sya ng konti kay Zara at sya ang unang nagpakilala ng totoo sa kanya? Will the break up be suspended?
You think so too?
Haha.
Sige na, scroll down na! :>
Atat masyado eh. Haha.
XOXO,
Christine :*
