For His Entertainment

Chapter Twenty-seven

For the whole sem-break, we made it a point to meet everyday. It's as if there's this unwritten rule that we had to make up and compensate for the years that passed us by. Good thing my parents and Kuya was always busy with their business.

Kaya siguro ganito ka-intense ang nararamdaman ko because I have kept and restrained myself for so long and I feel like I finally get what I deserve.

"When do you plan on telling them?" I asked him while he was painting my toenails. I cringed when for the hundredth time, lumampas na naman at galit na galit na siya sa acetone. He impatiently poured another on a cotton and removed the paint on my nails.

"What?" Irita niyang sabi, still focused on painting my nails as requested.

"Kina Kuya. When do you plan on telling them?" I said while looking at him, smiling at how frustrated he is with this. Andito kami sa condo niya because tomorrow, may pasok na naman and me being me, I had to prepare.

"Up to you," he said, focusing on painting my nails once more.

"Ako na nga kasi." I moved a little and he glared at me.

"Stop moving, woman! Maayos na, eh." He shook his head then focused once more. Kung makafocus naman ang isang 'to, akala mo ang tagal na niyang nagpepedicure, eh kanina ko lang naman siya tinuruan, and it takes years to master this one!

He finally gave up, and he just ruined my toes. Sobrang daming lagpas! It was my turn to glare at him. And all he did was shrug.

"I don't get the point. Masisira din yan in a day or two, so what's the point?" He pointed at my nails.

"It's just pretty!" Singhal ko sa kanya.

After I painted one toenail, he looked at me with utter fascination and admiration, as if I did something miraculous.

Hindi ko iyon pinansin.

"Seryoso nga kasi, kailan natin sasabihin 'yung about..." I bowed my head, for some reason, I still felt uncomfortable saying it out loud. "Sa'tin?"

"Sa'tin?" He cupped my cheeks and made me face him. "So meron nang tayo?"

I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Hmm, MU?" I bit my lip and kumawala sa kanya. I just can't stand his gaze!

"MU?" He looked confused.

I smirked. Oh, Spencer. Ang dami na niyang ex but for some reason, he's still so noob. "Mukhang unggoy. Ikaw 'yon."

"Tss," He pinched my nose at ginulo ang buhok ko. "It's up to you when you want to tell them, Margarette."

"So, bro code?" I arched a brow.

"I still respect Steven. It's just that..." Tumayo siya at naglakad palayo sa akin. "I didn't want to lose you."

He said it in a whisper, na para bang nahihiya siyang sabihin iyon. As if I would judge him for being this cheesy all of a sudden, eh kinikilig lang naman talaga ako! So he can just let out all his sweet bones and I'd gladly accept! Kahit na hindi ako sanay, I want to get used to it.

Ngumuso ako and just painted my nails. Nang makabalik siya, he was already holding a plate of pancakes with Strawberry Syrup. I smiled ever so sweetly at him and dipped my finger on the syrup, then licked it the way he did before.

"Ang sarap pala ng syrup mo," Kumindat ako sa kan'ya.

Umawang ang labi niya. "Can I kiss you already?!" He said, frustrated, and sat beside me.
