I feel like I'm the prettiest and dumbest girl in the world. Kuya Andrew kasi e. Masyadong cheesy. While he was doing my paperwork, may pasulyap-sulyap pang nalalaman. Ako namang si pabebe pulang pula. He also said that he really wants to marry me someday. O kaya he's saying something like you're the prettiest girl I have ever seen. Then I ask, "How about Jordan?" and he said, "She's a pig." And so we laugh. Parang nabaliktad yata ang mundo. Shet. Ganda ko di ba?

There was a soft knock on the door. Sumilip si Kuya Ryker sa pinto at sinabing "Supper is ready." O diba, lakas maka-British accent.

"Why is your face so red?" Tanong ni Kuya Ryker.

"I have a cold. And I think Jordan put too much blush on. Namumutla kasi ako kanina, kuya." Palusot ko, palms on my cheeks.

"Oh really? Did you catch Jordan's cold? Let's go eat and we'll go to the clinic."

"NO!" I shouted. "I mean, no Kuya. I'm fine. I will go straight to bed after this project. Tsaka pass muna ko sa 'supper'  kuya, I already ate."

"Okay. Sigurado ka you don't want to eat 'supper' ha? Lakas maka-British pa naman ng niluto ko. Saw the recipe on YouTube." He laughed. "What about you, Andrew?"

"I'll stay with Blair."

Damn. Kuya Andrew is driving me crazy.

"I'll just get you your dinner. Sure ka dito ka kakain?" I asked Kuya Andrew.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you."

Fuck.

I went out of his room with Kuya Ryker to the kitchen only to find an annoying grinning Jordan seated at the corner.

'What?' I mouthed.

She shakes her head and just smiled like a muggle.

Nagpaalam ako sa kanila at dinala kay Kuya Andrew ang pagkain na nakalagay sa tray.

He ate the food and go back to his work. God. He's so yummy- I mean, the food was yummy, sinusubuan nya rin kasi ako. And all the blood rushes to my cheeks and I blushed like an idiot right infront of him. He just laughed (a sexy laugh, y'all) and tell stories of him crushing on me ever since we were kids. He even fought with Japs when we were in grade school because of Japs bullying me.

Akala ko ba balik sa dati, Kuya Andrew? Why do you act like my fucking boyfriend?

Umulan ng malakas pagkatapos magawa ni Kuya Andrew ang project ko. My brother kept ringing Kuya Andrew's phone and saying he's sending Japs to get me back to the cabin. Iniwan na pala ako ni Jordan and she's now sleeping.

"Papunta na si Japs dyan. Lumabas ka na." Sabi ni Kuya.

"Kuya naman! Alam mo namang magkaaway kami ni Japs."

"I don't care about your misunderstandings, Blair. Just get out of that room. He's outside."

Wala na kong nagawa kundi sumunod kay Kuya para wala nang gulo. Nagpaalam muna ako kay Kuya Andrew at Kuya Ryker bago umalis. Pero humirit pa si Kuya Andrew ng "You can always stay." Pero how can I stay if he's like that? I mean, yeah he's cute, handsome, corny and a little annoying. But come on! He's being cheesy now and I admit it's a little awkward.
