The Billionaire's Son

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"What are you looking at my girlfriend?" Sage asked in an annoyed tone. Mabilis na nag-iwas ng tingin ang lalaki sa aming dalawa. He quickly gathered his things and left the table. Masama pa rin ang tingin ni Sage sa kaniya hanggang sa makalabas siya ng diner.

I kicked him from under the table. "What are you doing?" I hissed with a scowl on my face.

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay sa aking sinabi. "What? He's obviously checking you out and I won't just sit here and let him fantasize with my girlfriend. Not in front of me."

Uminit ang pisngi ko sa kaniyang sinabi. Ever since we started dating in New Year, Sage went into this crazy over-protective mode, hissing at every guy who glances at me and wrapping his arms around my waist even when my mother is around.

Napailing na lamang ako. "You are such a kid, Sage."

"No, I'm not." Sinimangutan niya ako. Ang kaniyang buhok ay nagsisimula na namang tumaas. Nagpunta kaming dalawa ngayon sa bayan para dito. He said he wanted a haircut and I'm too clumsy to do it for him so we leave it to the professionals. But before we went to the men's salon, he dragged me inside a diner.

"We haven't really had a real date, Mal..." aniya habang ako nama'y nagrereklamo dahil masyadong mahal ang mga pagkain dito.

I shut my mouth. I still can't believe that I'm dating Sage right now! The kiss I got from Christmas was followed by a series of memories that made me smile every time it crosses my mind. Masaya akong kasama siya. Bago ko siya sinagot ay humingi muna ako ng permiso kay Mama. The two of us sit down and talked for a long time. Alam kong hindi siya sang-ayon na ang aking nobyo ay isang Monterio. But she did nothing about it. She just warned me to be extra careful and never meddle with his family's personal affair.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a bunch of high school girls giggling at Sage. Panakaw lamang ang kanilang tingin sa kaniya. Sage is furrowing his eyebrows at the menu, deciding what to eat. Nagsikuhan ang mga babae habang nakatingin kay Sage. Mayamaya pa, ang pinakamatangkad sa kanila'y tumayo at lumapit sa aming table.

"Uhm, excuse me po?"

Sage lifted his gaze from the menu and cocked an eyebrow at the highschooler. Muntik na itong himatayin sa kilig. Impit niyang nginitian si Sage.

"Yung mga kaibigan ko po kasi... O-Okay lang po bang magpa-picture sa iyo?"

I probably looked stunned because of what she said. Bago pa man maka-oo si Sage ay excited nitong tinawag ang mga kaibigan. They all stumbled towards my table. Sage glanced at me before he pulled himself up and joined them. Mas lalong lumakas ang kanilang hiyawan.

"Ate? Puwede bang picture-an mo kami?" aniya sabay lahad sa akin ng kaniyang cellphone. I stared at the device for a while before I nodded my head.

"Sige..." sagot ko nang nakatingin kay Sage. His face is unreadable. Ang kaniyang dalawang kamay ay nakasiksik sa kaniyang bulsa. And he looks very uncomfortable, surrounded by a bunch of giggling girls who are obviously attracted to him.

Kinunan ko sila ng tatlong larawan bago ko ibinalik ang kaniyang cellphone. Nagtatalon pa sila sa kilig habang tinitingnan ang mga litratong kinuha ko.

"Thank you, Ate!" masayang sambit ng isa.

"Ay, kuya, okay lang ba kung kunin din namin ang number mo?" lakas loob na tanong ng isa.

My eyes widened in shock. Ang akala ko'y magagalit si Sage. Sa halip ay mahinahon niyang itiniklop ang menu na kaniyang binabasa at humalumbaba. Bored niyang tiningnan ang mga babaeng kilig na kilig sa kaniya.
