XXIX: TRY ME, BITCH

"I like you."

I stood there looking at him shocked.

"My heart keeps beating so fast when I'm with you, I can't control it." He stares in to my eyes and I can't help it. He said his heart is beating so fast when he's with me? Well, me too (well, sometimes because of annoyance)! I blushed so hard that my face literally looked as red as a tomato.

He chuckled. "You're cheeks are red."

Dali-dali kong tinakpan ang mga pisngi ko ng aking mga palad. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am!" He said.

"Are you serious?" I asked again.

"Yep." He said smiling. Tf is wrong with him? Why is he smiling?

"Can you stop that?"

"Huh?" Kumunot ang noo nya. "Stop the what?"

"You. Stop smiling, it's so annoying." I said habang nagkunwaring tinitignan ko ang mga kuko ko. "My heartbeat's uncontrollable too, I think we have to see a cardiologist. Napapanahon yata ang palpitation."

"So the feeling is mutual?" He asked as he moved his face near to mine, still smiling.

I pushed him slightly, "Didn't I tell you not to smile?"

Hindi nya inaalis ang ngiti sa buong pagmumukha nya. Kaya nagkunwari akong naiinis at naglakad na ako papasok sa cabin.

"See you later!" Jaceton shouts.

Huminto ako sa may pinto at nilingon ko sya...and I laughed (actually, more like kinilig ako) because he's making hearts with his fingers (just like what a K-POP idol do) while grinning.

I can't erase the smile on my face when I entered the cabin. Kuya and his friends are looking at me like I'm a crazy woman who just got out of an asylum.

"What the hell's wrong with you, woman?" binatukan ako ni Kuya.

"What? Why?" I asked still smiling because I remember Jaceton's face when he smiled. Shet! Ang pogi bes!

"Are you happy that Andrew's gone to States?" Japs asked.

"No." I said still smiling. "Do you want some pancakes?" I asked them because I am in a good mood (kahit badtrip ako kay Kuya Andrew) so I want to make breakfast.

"No, thank you. What if there's poison?" my very thoughtful brother asked as he sat down the couch with his friends.

"I'll do it. I don't trust you either." Japs said while laughing and he walked to the kitchen counter and search for the pancake mix in the shelves.

"Tch. Ako na nga nagvo-volunteer, ayaw nyo pa." I said as I stomped my way to Jordan's room.

"Damn. I really don't understand women." Gabe said.

Tch.

As expected, Jordan wasn't in the room so I lay down on the bed and checked my phone. A notification popped up as soon as I unlocked my phone and it read: "2 missed video calls from Bea Stone" so I called her and wait for her to answer her phone. Thanks to Skype, I get to see my family abroad.

"Hey, little brat. Bakit hindi mo sinasagot ang calls ko kanina?" My sister, Bea, asked.

"Lumabas lang ako, ate. Chill." I smiled.

"Where's Blake? How is that another brat doing?"

"He's doing great rummaging the fridge with his friends. He emptied the shelves and the pantry of our cabin so I always have to go grocery shopping."
