My Four Step Brothers

M4SB 9: Coincidence

Ellie's POV

"Oy insan! Kelan mo ba ko papakilala dun sa mga pogi mong kapatid?" Pag uudyok ulit ni Nadie sakin, pinsan ko.

Hinawakan ko naman yung magkabilang braso niya at yinugyog ito. "Ano ba Nads! Gumising ka na nga! Hindi ko pa mga kapatid ang mga yun at kung matuloy man in the near future, there's no way na pwede kitang ipares sa isa sa mga kanila no! Pinsan kita Nads, tangek ka ba te? Isa pa di ko masyadong ka close yung mga yun, ni yung pinakamatanda nga sa kanila di ko pa nakakausap eh." I nagged at her. Feeling niya ata pwede niyang jowain yung isa sa kanila. Palibhasa narinig ata na puro gwapo yung mga magkakapatid, gusto din ata bimingwit ng isa. Hay nako Nadie, ano bang pumasok sa utak mo? Pinsan nga ba talaga kita?

She slumped back on my bed, frowning. "Eh kasi naman insan, swerte mo kasi!" Nagpagulong gulong naman ito sa higaan ko habang patuloy parin sa pagpapalabas ng mga dinadamdam niya. "Ang popogi ng mga magiging kapatid mo oh? Sus insan wala ka talagang ka keme-keme sa katawan!"

Hay nako Nadie, kung alam mo lang kung anong pinaggagawa nila sakin lalo na yung si Jiro. I really dont have a clue kung ano bang meron samin noon. "Tsaka insan! Kung tutuusin di mo na kailangang maghanap ng jojowain eh, ayan oh! Pili ka lang ng isa sa mga magkakapatid na Garcia!" I face palmed myself after hearing what she just recommended to me.

"Seriously Nads?!" I groaned at her. Pinagsasabi ng babaeng to? Hay nako.

"Oo miss Ella ng watty! Nag aantay na po kami ng comeback niyo kaya pakibilisan please lang." Sabi nito ng nakairap pa sakin.

Agad ko naman siyang dinaganan at sinimulang kilitiin ang kanyang tagiliran. "Nadieee, are you freakin' kidding me dear cousin?"

"Eh haha Ell! Stooop! Suggest lang naman kasi haha. Oo na! Di na!" Reklamo nito habang naluluha na sa kakatawa kaya tinigilan ko na, baka maihi pa eh.

"Good." I let out a sigh and sat beside her. "Pano ko kaya isasalba sarili ko sa ratings? Ka stress naman kase eh!" Reklamo ko. I've been so stressed out for these past few weeks dahil sa mga issue na nangyayari sa buhay ko. Not just school and my rank sa watty's pero pati na din mismo yung relasyon ko towards the Garcia brothers. Hay nako, why is life so complicated?

"Nads." Tawag ko sa pinsan ko. " I think there's something between me and Jiro sa past."

"Uhh.." tanging yun lang ang lumabas sa bibig ng pinsan ko. She looks hesitant. Para bang may tinatago siya sakin.

I shot her a questioning look. "May alam ka ba?" I queried.

Her eyes widened in horror. "Of course not! I didn't even get to know the guy before!" She replied rather hastily. Something's not right, but oh well nevermind. I'll settle the rankings first and not bother myself about it for now.

Third Person's POV

"By the way, there's a newly released flavor ng milk tea sa fav shop mo ngayon! Let's go and check it out Ell." Nadie quickly reverted Ell's attention to her favorite milk tea shop to avoid further discussions about the guy Ell was curious about earlier. She dared not to tell her what she knew. Although it is quite ironic that she kept bugging Ell earlier to introduce her to them and now she completely shifted her attitude 180 degrees. Luckily Ell took her suggestion into account and agreed on checking it out with her. Naddie waited for half an hour for Ell to get prepared before leaving with her with all smiles plastered on their faces, seemingly excited to experience the newly released milk tea flavor. But little did Naddie know they were walking right to the devil itself.

They were happily walking side by side each other inside the mall as Naddie's arm wrapped around Ell's. Soon after Nadie's mouth fell open and her eyes almost bulged out off its socket after seeing the scene before her. They have gone inside the shop but inside from a far corner the four brother's were sitting enjoying their drinks. They actually didn't saw them right after they came in because there was a group of customers that have exited the cafe as they entered, hence, they were both shock as the scene unfolded right in front of them and Naddie being the most caught off guard. She didn't know they would bump into them, really speaking of the devil! Too bad she had led themselves right into a trap.

Matthew took notice of the two cousins first and quickly beamed at them gesturing them to come over. "Hey, Ell! What a nice thing to come across you guys first thing in the morning." he exclaimed.

On the other hand, as soon as Jiro heard his brother call Ell's name he immediately looked over to see for himself. He quickly met Ell's eyes, for a fraction of second Ell's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met each other and a tint of redness flushed her face as the scene in his condo replayed instantly in her mind. Seeing Ell's face Jiro was quite amused and shot her a meaningful smile. She quickly brushed up the thought aside and head towards their table with her cousin by her side who was literally the most nervous one between the both of them. A small groan escaped her lips as she saw some of the girls a few tables from them darting them a jealous and deadly look. Well, she can't blame them. The table itself is occupied by four hot guys and is indeed breathtaking and would make girls swoon just by looking at them. 

"Kayo lang ba dalawa? How 'bout you two join us?" Matthew said suggestively that made the remaining blood in Nadie's face disappear. "Wala na bang mas mamalas pa sa samin ngayong araw na to?" She thought to herself.

Before they could react they were both pulled down to sit, Ell besides Matthew na tapat ni Jiro and Nadie right beside Bryle. Jiro's gaze never escaped Ell even a tiny bit as soon as his eyes landed upon her earlier making her more awkward. JD who was quite distant from them casts a quick glance towards their direction causing a slight crease on his forehead then finally averted his eyes away from them.
