Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 5

Part 5
Alex's POV

Manang came with foods and just a small tub of ice cream.

Since I was craving for it kinuha ko na yon agad, I was shookt nang kamay ni Jax ang nahawakan ko dahil naka hawak na rin siya sa ice cream.

Nagkatinginan muna kami before my senses came back at binawi ang kamay ko.

"sorry" sabi ko and looked away "you can have the ice cream nalang"

"no, just have it. It's okay" sambit niya.

"di, okay lang. Kuha na lang ako sa baba"

"kulit, you can have it na or else kakainin ko talaga yan"

"edi go, just go and eat it. Enjoy"

"you sound so sarcastic, Alex. Just eat that ice cream. I'm all good." pag pupumilit niya.

Tinignan ko nalang siya sa mata, his voice was so damn manly at sobrang may authority. Ang hirap makipagtalo sa gantong tao.

"what are you both fighting about? Mga batang toh." sabi ni Kuya and sat between me and Jax.

The movie started to play and we had been so busy watching it.

"Jax, ice cream oh. Sabi mo gusto mo nang ice cream." sabi ni Kuya.

Buti na lang napigilan ko yung sarili ko na kainin yung ice cream na yan.

"yoko na besides Alex wants it." sabi ni Jax on the other side.

"oh Alex, kainin mo na. Matunaw yan" sabay pag abot sakin ni Kuya nang tub.

"eh kay Jax nalang, ayoko na rin eh." sabi ko para kay Jax nalang mapunta.

"so ito yung pinagtatalunan niyo." natatawang sabi ni Kuya saamin. "sakin na lang toh, mag ice cream na lang kayo sa labas. Jax libre mo naman yang kapatid ko."

"no, no need. Thanks nalang" sabi ko and tried to focus on the movie.

"yep sure, after watching the movie. I'll treat you nalang." malamig na sabi ni Jax

Nanahimik na lang ako, kinain na kasi ni Kuya yung ice cream, tsaka it wouldn't mean a thing naman kung kakain kami nang ice cream sa labas. Sasama naman si Kuya tsaka baka magustuhan din ni ate sumama.

After the movie, narinig ko naman yung pag tunog nang cellphone ko.

From: Tristan
Heyy, u free?

"Alex, tawag ka na ni Jax." sabi ni Kuya habang nag lilinis sa entertainment room.

To Tristan:
Not at home, sorry.

"yah sure, 'be there in a sec! " sigaw ko at tumayo na.

Narinig ko ang pag kalampas nang susi na hawak ni Jax habang patungo kami sa parking.

"where do you want to eat ice cream, Alex? " Jax asked, grabe talaga pag binabanggit niya yung pangalan ko, parang sobrang may authority

"sa mall, okay lang? " I asked. Baka kasi ayaw niya nang masyadong crowded.

"oh, gelato? You like that? " he excitedly presented. Yung singkit niyang mata lumalaki.

"ooohh sounds good! Tara! San meron?"

"qc" maigsi niyang pag sagot.

From : Tristan
Oh okay, just text me if you've changed your mind.

Is Tristan being sarcastic or what? Di ko na toh maintindihan eh.

It was slightly traffic kaya medyo late na rin kami nakadating sa shop na nirerecommend niya. Imagine from Tagaytay to Qc

"Jax, oh my goodness." sabi nang babae and then hugged him tightly, it was kinda awkward kase mukhang girlfriend yata toh ni Jax. Kitang kita naman sa pag yakap niya eh.

She's sexy, looked so young and youthful. Kaya siguro Jax suggested here para makita niya itong babaeng toh. Get a room! Para na kayong magdidikit nang katawan sa higpit nang yakapan niyo.

"oh mom, by the way. This is Alex, Alex's lil sister."

Huh? MOM? Ano? Paano? San banda?

"hi Alex. You looked so flustered. What happened?" Tita said then hugged me.

"h-hi, I'm sorry tita. I thought uh I mean di po kasi halatang-"

Even before I finish my sentence, tita laughed at me.

"really?" Tita asked and I just nodded.

"we're both craving for ice cream so I decided to just invite her here." sabi ni Jax.

"nice, just choose the flavor na so we can serve it to you right ahead." she said.

"and one box of macarons, it's her favorite." pahabol ni Jax

Nakakahiya, I knew this place is known for their gelatos and macarons and dahil popular naging sobrang pricey na din siya. Worth it naman actually.

"Jax, this is actually more than enough." I said. "Let me pay for the gelatos nalang."

"I invited you here, so it's my treat." sabi niya while looking straight sa mata ko.

I kept quiet, mamaya na lang siguro ako mag thank you. "I actually thought na girl friend mo yung mama mo."

"yuh, they usually say that. She's young when she got pregnant with me."

"really? How old?"

"18, she's pretty, isn't she?"  Jax asked with a smile on his face.

"tinatanong pa ba yan." sabi ko.

"haha, she's pretty just like you eh." bumalik nanaman sa pagiging loko loko toh si Jax.

"gara mo." I said then looked away.

I didn't knew Jax would be outgoing just as this.

"oh, finish those ha." sabi ni Tita while placing trays infront of us. Looks appetizing  "if you need anything, just tell Jax ha" she said before leaving us

"ba't andami? Di ko naman toh mauubos." sabi ko

"kaya mo yan." sagot ni Jax and then took a bite sa macarons. "xander told me how desperate you are just for these macarons." 

Xander = Alexander (Kuya ni Alex)

"when I was like 8th grade, I used to sing infront of my dad, just for him to buy me macarons from here." I exclaimed.

He giggled, "you know your dad's a stock holder here, did you? "

I nodded "nalaman ko nung natauhan na ko, tanga ko eh." sabi ko

He looked so awed, ewan ko na anong nangyayari dito eh.

"why do you look so awed?" I asked.

"wala lang, you speak so differently, it's fascinating." he replied.

What does he mean tho? I mean, do I speak too trashy or what?

It took me time to ask again, I was surely to ask the right question to him

"what do you mean? Huh? "

"you're awesome, I like it." he then answered
