My Best friends' Brother

May minor revisions lang ako sa previous chapter. Imbis na sa falls sila nagpunta ni Dos, sa fields na lang. Hehe. Sensya na. Tao lang. Vote & comment. Mwa.

Day 2. Nothing extra ordinary happened during our dinner last night. Wala lang si Wacks dahil kasama na raw nyang nagdinner ang kausap na mayor. Pati si Dos ay wala sa hapag. It was just me, tito Jaime, and tita Silvia. It's sad though. To think na si tita at tito lang ang kumakain sa long table kapag wala ang mga anak nila. Kaya pala sobrang eager ni tita Silvia na pauwiin si Wacks.

"Hoy, bakla!" Tawag ni Wacks sa atensyon ko. "Bakit hawak ni kuya yung phone mo kahapon?" He trailed. Looking at me na parang pinaparatangan nya ako. Like ano? Kakakilala lang namin, kire agad? hello! Girlfriend nya kaya ako dito.

"Ginulat nya kasi ako. Nalaglag ko yung phone ko. Tapos dinampot nya." I explained. "Dyos ko! Imagine a sexy iPhone without a casing. Nalaglag! Buti nga walang basag pero may kaonting scratch. Hashtag: MedyoSad. Charot!"

"Dami mong sinabi baks! Pero ha? Wala sa jowable list si kuya. Mahuhuli tayo ni papa pag ganon."

"Hanggang kailan mo ba itatago to? Bakit kasi di mo pa aminin na beks ka? Tito Jaime is a nice dad. I think he'll accept you. Isa pa, hindi na uso ang nangdidisown ng anak sa panahon ngayon dahil sa gender, no!" I said in a matter-of-factly tone.

Humiga si Wacks sa kama ko habang nakalaylay ang paa sa corner habang nakatayo naman ako sa tapat ng 3 panel arch mirror at nagtutuyo ng hair. "I'm not ready to give dad another disappointment, Ai. I really don't think that this is the perfect time to make amin kasi busy si dad sa fields and kuya, with handling the company." He said. Minasahe nya ang kanyang sintido na parang sumakit ang ulo sa pagiisip na sinabi nya. Di ba nya naisip na mas nakakagalit itong ginagawa namin? Niloloko namin sila.

"Maiba ako, besh." Bigla syang umupo. "I had a meeting with mayor Santillan last night and we set the details. Yung jewelry auction, may mga models. Kunwari'y may bumili ng certain jewelry na suot ng certain model, pwede nya rin itong i-date. Date for a good cause."

Umupo naman ako sa bandang terrace ng kwarto to light a stick. "So much hassle sa auction. Bakit di na lang yung date for a cause?" I asked.

"Ano ka ba baks?! Syempre business woman ako! Good publicity ito sa jewelry shop ko for me as a jeweller. Hindi lang naman kailangan puro bait. Need din ng utak, girl!" Tinuro naman nya ang ulo nya while I puffed my cigar. He spoke like he can't believe what I just said. I rolled my eyes at him. Oo nga naman. Businessman - woman sya.

Hapon na at busy ang mga maids sa mansion dahil bisperas na ng pasko mamaya. Everyone has something to do habang ako, nakatayo sa gitna ng receiving room. Nagaantay ng pwedeng gawin. They were decorating. Some maids are cooking. Ayaw ko naman mangharang ng maids at magtanong ng pwedeng gawin. Aagawan ko pa ba sila ng trabaho? So I decided to go outside and walk again.

Sabi ni Wacks kanina ay may Christmas party ang pamilya, kasambahay - kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya, at drivers. I think that it's really kind of them and went overboard to invite the family of the house-helps. Bukas naman ay uuwi ang mga ito para sa 2 days vacation. Ganito naman daw lagi ang ginagawa ng magasawa.

Pababa na sana ako ng porch and about to light a cigar ng makita ko si Dos. Leaning on the side of his pick up with his phone on his hand. Looking almighty-gorgeous with the cowboy hat, white v-kneck t-shirt, faded pants and a pair or loafers. Very haciendero style. Anong style pa kaya ang alam nya?

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing this God's gift to women but I also reminded myself that he's off limits and it's not like he's attracted to me right? He didn't even lay his eyes on me ever since our breakfast yesterday. Pero bakit parang hopia ako? I sighed and made my way down the porch. Iiwas na lang ako. Kung pansinin nya ako edi hello, kung deadma, edi wow!

Evening came like a thief. Everyone is on their best casual attire and Christmas song is in the air. I looked around and saw everyone smiling from ear to ear. Maybe because they are with their families. Oh! How I wanted one.

"Good evening everyone!" Napatingin ang lahat sa may stage sa bati ni Dos sa microphone na hawak nito. He's so cute wearing his maroon long sleeves. Nakaroll ang sleeves nito hanggang sa siko. Nahahapit din nito ang kanyang katawan so visible ang sexiness nya. White pants and a pair of loafers. What caught my attention was the Santa hat he's wearing. May ilaw ito sa gilid. Sexy daddy style. " We would like to thank everyone who is here tonight. For the hard work through the years and taking good care of our parents. Every year, we are here to celebrate and we wish to see you more for the next coming years. You are a blessing to us and thank you for making our lives easier. Thank you for being a part of our family. We hope you enjoy the night."

Nagpalakpakan ang lahat ng matapos ang sinabi ni Dos. So far, yan ang pinakamahaba nyang sinabi na narinig ko. Seems like he doesn't talk so much. Shy child? Or maybe he's just like that. Iba iba naman kasi ang tao.

Wearing my maroon overlap pleated top with white origami shorts, I strut my way to our table which is near the stage. Tito and tita is busy attending and greeting the guests.

An hour passed by and the mc announced that there would be some games for the kids and for adults. Everyone was having fun. For sure. Ako nga nakikitawa kahit di ko sila kilala dahil sa pa-games. Nageenjoy din ako kahit di naman ako naglalaro.

Sobrang dami kong nakain kasi lagay ng lagay si Wacks ng pagkain sa plato ko. I decided to walk around the area and find the peace I want so that I could light my cigar.

The loud music and cheers of the people can still be heard from where I am now. I'm about to go inside the mansion to get my phone. I want to take photos. I want to see happy faces kahit di ko kilala halos lahat. I was about to go up the grand staircase when I saw Dos holding his phone like he's texting or checking something. I'm not sure. And there's this feeling that I have to go to him. Involuntarily, my feet moved. He's standing beside the chimney. I'm just gonna greet him a merry Christmas.

When I was in front of him, he faced me. "Yes?"

—-
I looked at the clock near the door. It's 5 minutes to midnight. "Merry Christmas." I said smiling. Wala naman talaga akong sasabihin. I just want to see his face. His eyes, his nose and his lips up close. I wonder what that lips can do.

He looked amazed. Mukha ba akong entertainment sa kanya? He smiled knowingly. Knowlingly? Bakit? Anong alam niya?

He looked up. Napatingin din ako sa tinignan nya. "Do you know what a lady and a man do under a mistletoe?"

Mistletoe? What could a man and a woman exactly be doing under a plant? Nakunot ang noo ko. Di naman kasi kami magarbong magcelebrate ng Christmas. Christmas tree na maliit at Christmas lights lang, okay na kami ni mama noon. Spaghetti, menudo at crabs sa lamesa. Masaya na.

Nakuha nya siguro na hindi ko gets dahil napakunot ako ng noo. He smiled again. That playful and dangerous kind of smile. I never thought that playful and dangerous could be in one sentence.

He clasp my hair. Tight enough to make me look up to him. Like I'm his slut servant. It made my knees weak and wobbly. Napasinghap ako.

"Underneath, a man and a woman kiss." He said then break the space between us for that fiery kiss. I closed my eyes and heard the gong of the clock. 12mn. Merry Christmas, bitchy Isla!

I never expected this but... I fantasise about it. A fantasy came true.
