For His Entertainment

Chapter Twenty-six

"Yieeeeeeut!" Tawang tawa si Lyka habang tinutulak ako palapit kay Spencer.

"Ano ba?" I bit my lip and stare daggers at her just to make her stop.

Hindi kasi ako sanay na ganito, hindi ako sanay na katabi ko si Spencer sa couch at sa akin lang siya nakatitig as if I was the only one who ever mattered. Nakapangalumbaba pa siya sa akin at halos hindi kumurap.

I am so not used to this kind of attention from him.

"Isa ka pa, masyado kang pacute dyan," Inirapan ko siya.

He laughed a little and I think I just flushed.

"So gano mo na katagal kagusto 'tong si Ally?" Irene suddenly asked. Napalingon din ako kay Spencer na nakatitig pa rin sa'kin.

"I'm really not sure. I just realized that I'm attracted to her when we were in high school," Simple niyang sagot.

"Sinungaling, si Yvette ang gusto mo non." I shook my head.

"You're so cute when you're jealous," he pinched my nose. "Yeah, I liked Yvette, but I already like you way before that. Pinagbawalan lang kami lahat ni Steven and I've so much respect for him so I chose to steer clear. C'mon, Ally, it's in the past. I didn't knew any better."

He was explaining like he'll get in real trouble if he hasn't chosen the right words.

"I am not jealous!" I defended myself.

"Now look who's lying," He smirked.

"Oh my, Steven is so protective of you, he's so perfect!" Lyka exclaimed, still fangirling.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at tinuon ko nalang ang atensyon ko kay Kim na tahimik at ngingiti ngiti lang. "Hoy, ano ba pinakain sa'yo ni Spencer para makipagsabwatan ka sa kan'ya?"

"Ayoko lang na lagi kang nagmumukmok, obvious ka masyado," she said while rolling her eyes.

These friends of mine, they're... ugh!

Spencer drove my car because I obviously wasn't sober enough and he won't let me touch the steering wheel. Hinatid muna namin yung mga kaibigan ko isa isa. An hour and a hundred teases from my friends later, we're finally alone, but I didn't think it was a good idea.

I remember being so comfortable with his presence before, pero ngayon, despite the alcohol in my system, hindi pa rin ako makapagsalita. He was looking at me every chance he gets, na para bang mawawala na lang ako bigla.

"I'm not going anywhere," I said, trying to avoid his stare.

"I know," he returned his eyes on the road. "I'm just making sure that this is true."

I looked away, trying to conceal this damn smile on my lips. Nakita ko iyong cellphone niya na nasa dashboard and connected on the speakers of my car. Agad ko iyon kinuha to change the music. Upon realizing, he tried to grab my phone. He looks like he was panicking.

But because he's driving, he failed.

"What? Papalitan ko lang 'yong mus--" Nalaglag ang panga ko when I finally unlocked his phone. It was on a Wiki website and a step-by-step guide on "How to court a woman (with Pictures).

Mabilis niyang tinigil ang sasakyan sa isang gilid at kinuha agad sa akin iyong cellphone niya.

Humagalpak ako sa tawa. I couldn't help it! He has always been so cool and so used to getting what he wanted and now he has resorted to a step-by-step guide by Wiki!

With pictures!

"Stop laughing!" He commanded and glared at me.

"Why... Why..." Damn, I can't even finish a proper sentence without laughing my heart out.
