The Boy I Met Online

Kabanata 30

Days fastly went by with me and Prince dating. Madalas ay kasama namin ang mga kapatid namin but most of the time ay kaming dalawa lang since Van and King were both busy for school. Si Victoria naman ay sa bahay nalang at nagpapahinga. She's still under medical care since her operation will be one week  from now in Australia.

On the way kami ngayon ni Prince sa bahay nila after I decided to visit her sister. I baked cupcakes for her which she will absolutely love. Plano ng kasama kong mag-sine ngayon but I insisted to spend the day with Victoria dahil hindi ko pa ito muling nakita mula noong inimbita kami for dinner. I miss the kid.

Pagkarating namin sa kanila ay tumuloy na kami agad sa loob. Sinalubong kami ng isang katulong para kunin ang dala-dala kong box ng cupcakes. We heard tiny footsteps running downstairs before a lovely Victoria in a pink dress and with a braided hair emerged.

"Kuya!" she exclaimed running to her brother. Sinalubong naman ito ni Prince ng nakangiti.

"Where's mom?" tanong ni Prince pagkatapos nilang magyakapan.

"She went out. You were late. I thought you'll be here by twelve" she pouted making me want to pinch her cheeks.

"Sorry Princess. Your Ate Jenny needed to finish the cupcakes she baked for you"

"Oh" I saw how her eyes shone earning her a chuckle from me.

"I'm sorry we're late. By the way, this is for you Princess" I handed her the box full of cupcakes. Masaya naman niya itong inabot.

"Oh my gosh! These are my favorites! Thank you Ate Jen!"

"You're always welcome" I smiled.

Tumuloy kami agad sa living room habang nakasunod sa amin si Victoria. Napagpasyahan ni Prince na dito nalang kami manonood ng movie pagkatapos kong tanggihan ang alok niyang manood ng sine. Good thing the house is ours to spend in today dahil wala ang mga magulang nila.

I saw Victoria as she happily plop herself on the couch before opening the box of cupcakes.

"Babe ayaw mo bang magpalit muna? To something more  comfortable?" I frowned at my outfit. I am wearing a white shirt with "WHATEVER" printed on the front and my blue ripped jeans.

"What's wrong with my outfit?" tanong ko sa boyfriend kong parang iba ata ang tingin sa suot ko.

"Uhmm- n-nothing" palusot nitong napapakamot pa sa batok. Tinalikuran naman agad niya ako bago tuluyang pumanhik sa taas, siguro ay para magpalit.

"He's getting weirder and weirder" I whispered and I didn't know that Victoria heard my words. She laughed at my embarrassed state.

"Bagay po kayo ni Kuya" she said enjoying her every bite from the cupcake.

"T-thank you?" Ano ba namang klaseng sagot yan Jenny!

"You are so cute po ate Jenny" she giggled.

"My Kuya thinks that you are so attractive parin kahit ganyan lang suot mo." she added as I feel my cheeks burn.

Hindi na muli itong nagsalita dahil naging abala na rin ito sa pagkain ng cupcakes. Minabuti ko nalang na paandarin ang TV habang hinihintay naming makababa si Prince. Hindi ko rin naman alam kung ano ang panonoorin namin.

"What should we watch?" wika ni Prince na kakapasok pa lang ng living room. He's now wearing a black shirt and a gray sweatpants.

"Spongebob!!" excited na wika ni Victoria na abala parin sa mga cupcake. Kung hindi ko siguro alam na may sakit ito ay iisipin kong malusog siya dahil sa napaka-energetic at masayahin nito.
