I Am His Mistress

CHAPTER 3

LIKE ONLY, NOT LOVE

JINX'S POV

I've been contacting Javi but he's not answering his phone.

Anong oras na kaya!! 6 PM na pero wala pa sila.

Calling Javi..........

[Hello, Ate?]

"I've been calling you for fvcking many times!! Where the fvck are you?!"

[I'm here at Chowking with Kuya Jax. We're eating.]

"Bilisan niyo na!! It's already 7 PM and you're still there! Get your a$$ outta there! Pag hindi ka pa pumunta dito sa parking sinasabi ko sayo hinding-hindi ka na makakabalik pa!!"

[Calm down, sis. We're on our way there.]

After a few minutes nakarating na rin sila, umuwi kami sa condo ko ng hindi kami nag-uusap. Hayaan mo siya.

"Ate, I'm hungry." -Javi

"Edi kumain ka." sabi ko habang naglalaptop ako.

"Do you still have some foods in your fridge?" -Javi

"Malay ko." -Ako

Lumapit siya sakin then he hugged me.

"Ate, I'm sorry na. Actually, kaya kami matagal kasi I bought you a gift." tapos may paper bag siyang binigay kaya kinuha ko iyon at nilagay sa gilid. Siguradong bracelet na naman ibibigay niya sakin.

Niyakap niya ulit ako ng mahigpit.

"Sorry na, please?" -Javi

"Tss. Magso-sorry walang kiss?" sabi ko na nagtatampo.

Kiniss niya naman ako sa cheek.

"Okay na, Ate?" ngiting-ngiti na tanong ni Javi.

Ang sweet talaga niya.

"Isa lang? Tss." dutdot pa rin ako ng dutdot salaptop ko.

Kiniss niya ako sa kabilang pisngi tapos sa kabila ulit, paulit-ulit.

"Enough." tumingin ako sa kanya ng seryoso, then I smiled.

"Come on, I'll cook something for you." sabi ko at inakbayan siya.

Tahimik lang ako nagluluto, nang biglang magtanong si Javi.

"Ate, do you find Kuya Jax interesting?" -Javi

"Hmm, yes but no." I answered.

"Huh?" -Javi

"Yes, because he saved me last night. At hindi, kasi masyado siyang suplado. He's a snobber." -Ako

"But...... You like him, right?" -Javi

"Like only, not love." I answered.

"Why? Coz' you're afraid of not being love back?" -Javi

Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at hinain yung niluto ko.

"Eat, after nyan matulog ka na." ginulo ko yung buhok niya.

"Okay, Ate. I'll stay here for a week, sinabi ko na kila mom and dad, and also my teacher." -Javi

"Javi, ayaw mo ba mag-aral sa totoong school? I mean, para naman magkaron ka ng friends then you can hangout with them. Next year you'll be grade 7, high school ka na. Don't you want that?" masyado kasing pala basa ng libro si Javi, as what I said, wala siyang friends.

"Sure, Ate. If you want me to." -Javi

"Javi, hindi kita pinipilit kung gusto mo sa school. It's your choice." -Ako
