Freesia

"Dazzel, what brought you here?" I raised my brows at him.

Well, sanay na rin naman siya sa attitude ko mula pa noon.. Sanay na siya sa kamalditahan ko. We've been together for a long time. We became the best of friends. Until that  happened..

"I just want to give this to you." He was all smiles like he didn't mind me being not hospitable.

He offered me the fragrant flowers and I couldn't help but sneeze.

Pinamaywangan ko siya at tuluyan na niyang nabuksan ang pinto ng unit ko. He was taken aback when he saw who's inside. And maybe, he saw him coming.. the ever so great Apollo.

I heard or maybe felt his presence at my back. Like he always do, he doesn't respect my personal space.

"You know how flowers make my nose itchy, Dazz." Parang nanay kong pagsaway sa kanya.

Napakamot siya sa kanyang batok.

But before he could speak..

"You hate them?" I could imagine him raising his brows.

Hindi ko na kailangan pang bumaling sa kanya para malaman ang expression niya. Halos gamay ko na ang mga facial expression niya.

But I didn't mind his query. Hindi ko muna siya pinagtuunan ng pansin. May isa pang makulit sa harapan ko.

"Kasalanan ng pinsan ko, wala raw silang freesia na available sa flower shop." Nakakamot pa rin ito sa batok.

Kailan pa nahiya itong si Dazzel Agostos? Wala naman yang kahihiyan sa katawan.

"Eh, 'di sana, you just brought me a potted cactus." I rolled my eyes at him. "O, siya, pasok! Tutal may dala kang pizza." Offer ko sa kanya.

He grinned at me with his eyes dancing with mirth. Ang sarap batukan. But when he looked at Apollo's way I saw him gritted his teeth.

This time I don't have an idea what Apollo's expression is. But I'm sure it's not welcoming. Knowing him, he's always so serious.

"I can buy you a full truck of pizza. You shouldn't have let him in. He's a stranger." He tried talking to me while I went to the kitchen.

Sinundan niya ako doon na may kasamang panggugulo.

"Hindi ako hayok sa pizza, Apollo. And he's not a stranger. He's my friend." Naiiling kong saad habang nagtitimpla ng pineapple juice.

"You're even making him some juice."

Nangingiting binalingan ko siya. Ano kayang pinagpuputok ng butse ng mamang 'to? Our eyes met and I saw his annoyance.

"Hindi ka kasi nagpapatimpla." I chuckled.

"What? You want me to beg? You should have offered me willingly like what you are doing now." Nakasimangot niyang saad.

I like how he speaks with his baritone voice.

"Ano ba talagang pinaglalaban mo sa juice na 'to, Apollo? At tsaka, don't worry, I made this not just for him. I'm already planning to make this but I forgot."

Then I left him while getting some cookies. Buti na lang, nakapamili ako nito.

"You just forget everything, even calling me Vox which I often remind you about." And he left me in the kitchen.
