His eyes

"Thank you Manong." I said as I waved my hand goodbye to our long time family driver. Mang Berting scratched his brows as he  manuevered our car. "Anong oras ka magpapasundo Ma'am Crise?" Kunot-noong nilingon ko ang matanda.
"Wag mo nalang akong sunduin Mang Berting. Umuwi nalang po kayo para mag celebrate ng kaarawan ni Alex. Ako na pong bahala magpapaliwanag kay Daddy mamaya kung ba't hindi niyo ako nasundo." I said slightly smiling. Alexandra is his 19 year old daughter sa asawa niyang si Nana Sela na kasambahay rin namin. Simula kabataan ni Daddy naninilbihan na sa pamilya namin si Mang Berting kaya't parang pamilya narin ang turingan namin. I reached for my wallet in my pocket at kumuha ng 1000 bill at iniabot ito sa matanda. "Heto po. Ibati niyo nalang po ako kay Alex and kiss Nana Sela for me." I told him tsaka kumindat. Tumawa naman ang matanda tila naintindihan ang nais kong ipahiwatig.

"Ikaw talaga Maam. Pero, salamat rito sa pera at wala talaga sana kaming balak mag handa ngayon kasi kapos pero eto na! Ang bait mo talaga manang-mana ka sa Mommy Celina mo kahit na ba --"

"Kahit na ano Manong?" I asked him nung bigla siyang natigil sa pagsasalita.

Nabalisa naman si Mang Berting sa tanong ko. What's up? I was just asking lang naman ah?

"Aah. Wala Ma'am, Salamat ulit dito. Matutuwa si Alex." I just nod my head ignoring his weird actions toward my question.

"Walang anuman man Mang Berting. Sige ho, pasok na'ko. Ingat po sa pagmamaneho." 

I texted Vanna kanina and she told me she's here na raw. I'm 15 minutes early I think? Thanks to Nana Sela for waking me up early. I was checking for the time in my phone when someone bumped in to me. What the hell? Ang sakit.

"H-hala? S-sorry M-miss." said the guy. I picked the phone na nahulog sa sahig dahil sa lakas ng impact ng pagkakabangga sakin ni Mr. Nerd. Tatanggapin ko sa sana ang apology ni Nerd and about to say "Okay" when someone whistled at my back.

"Nice butt."

What the freaking hell? I'm wearing my black volleyball shorts paired with my favorite sweat shirt with a Nike print on it and Nike shoes. Obviously, I'm heading to our gym to practice my game. I abruptly turned my head with brows shot up dahil narin sa inis ko. Minanyakan ba niya ako? Ugh! Perv!

"Are you insulting me?" I asked using my freezing cold tune.
"What? That wasn't an insult. It was a compliment. I told you, you just have a very nice butt that would --"
Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa pagsasalita when i slapped him. Hard. I heard his friends gasped dahil sa ginawa ko sa tropa nila. That's what you deserve you punk!

"PERVERT!" I shouted at him that caught the attention of the students around us. Agad naman siyang nakabawi at diretso akong tiningnan. His dark eyes bore into me as if I was his prey.

"You'll pay for this." he said pointing his reddish cheeks before he left me stunned. Remembering how his fucking eyes speak so much volume.

Shet! Damn him for being pervert. And damn him for his eyes.
