Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 9

Alex's POV

"Jaxrill my boy! " masigasig na banggit ni Tristan

Jax stood up and gave Tristan a bro hug. Di ko alam how they met, hindi naman dito nag aral noon si Jax. Bumibisita lang siya kaya nag kakilala sila ni Ate.

"you're getting thin, what happened? " Jax asked.

Who's the girl he's eating with, akala ko ba trabaho lang toh nang trabaho the whole day.

"long story. Divina what's the catch? " tanong ni Tristan dun sa babaeng kasama ni Jax.

"eto, catching up with Jax. Tagal na rin since the last time we had this conversation. Come join as at our table." she said while smiling at me.

"would that be alright, Lex? " pag make sure ni Tristan na okay saaken.

I dont like being alone, siguro kung mag tatabi tabi sila ay wala rin ako malulugaran sa pag uusapan nila.

"yuh sure, okay lang." sabi ko, I lied. Ayoko lang maging kj sa trip nilang mag totropa.

I sat between Jax and Tristan. They were busy talking about their pasts and how they ended up being so successful.

"I thought you were with your brother?" pabulong na sabi saakin ni Jax.

"took a break, magkasama naman sila ni Ate Pau." I whispered back.

I looked at the the both person talking infront me nang ma realize ko na nakatingin na pala silang dalawa saamin.

"let me meet your friend, Tris." sabi ni Divina habang nakaakbay kay Tristan.

Her tone was kinda irritating, masyadong masakit sa tenga pag pinakikinggan.

"this Alex. Younger sister ni Alex." Tristan's reply was confusing dahil nga lahat kami ay Alex.

"Alexander Fernández? " pag lilinaw ni Divina.

I nodded and smiled "t'was nice meeting you." I said.

"so, kilala ka rin ni Jax? " she asked. I just nodded. As I have said ang sakit niya lang talaga sa tenga. "and why are you with Tristan? Something happening between you two? "

She's asking way too much, pinagsisisihan ko nang pumayag akong maki table sakanila.

"Divina, just finish your food so we can go back to work." sabi ni Jax

"oo nga! Ang daldal mo kasi." sabi naman ni Tristan while handling me out his ordered foods.

I was too busy eating my food na hindi ko na pinakikialaman yung mga pinaguusapan nila.

"babalik ka sa office? " tanong ni Jax saakin, kung nandon si Kuya malamang ay kailangan ko rin bumalik doon.

I nodded and then continued eating.

"sasabay ka? Madadaanan ko kasi yon on the way home"

Umiling ako, it was a good offer dahil makakauwi na rin sana agad si Tristan, kaso baka kasabay niya rin itong babaeng ito kaya ayaw ko maging third wheel sakaniya.

"hanap nako nang boss ko, I have to go." Divina said while nag mamadaling bumeso saaming tatlo.

"after eating, uuwi ka na? " I asked Tristan.

He nodded "after kitang ihatid sa office, uuwi nako."

"wag na, I'll be with Jax. Babalik din siya sa office eh." sabi ko and smiled.

I dont want him to feel bad, maski na ako. Ayokong magmukhang masama na iiwan siya mag isa. I just want him to go and rest.

"no, it's okay. I insist." Tristan said.

I held his hand na nakapatong sa table to let him know that I'm sincere.

"Kay Jax nako sasabay, you better finish your blue print." I said then smiled.

He didn't add anything to that, he just finished his food.

I took my time eating, Jax wasn't in a hurry and he seemed to be enjoying his meal too.

Bigla ko naman nangibabaw ang ringtone ko at si Kuya na agad ang natawag saakin.

"hello kuya? "
[where are you?]
"mall, why? Asan ka? "
[mall din, maybe we could meet at the grocery to run some errands na, what mall are you in? ]
"sucat"
[great, let's just meet there.]
End call.

"who called? " tanong ni Tristan.

"si kuya, hanap nako eh. Di nako sasabay, I have to meet him at the grocery." sabi ko and then stood up.

"hatid na kita? " Tristan offered.

"di pwede, si Kuya yon remember? "

I smiled and then turned my back on them.

"wait! Alex! Ako na lang mag hatid sayo! " sabi ni Jax and then sumunod na rin saakin.

I thought he'd be busy the whole day, pero bakit parang di naman.

"I thought you'd be busy the whole day, what happened? " I asked.

"Tito sent me home, I wasn't feeling well earlier." he said at tinabihan nako sa pag lalakad. " I also wanted to say sorry, sa nangyare sainyo nang ate mo the last night."

I smiled at him "it's okay, naiintindihan ko naman yon eh." sabi ko

"I promise I'd be cautious next time."

We both continued walking hanggang sa marating namin yung grocery, Kuya was waiting there and nakapako ang tingin niya kay Jax.

"you're sick, aren't you? " Kuya asked Jax at tinampal niya nang mahina ang noo nito.

"took meds already, don't worry na babe." Jax jokingly said to Kuya.

"siraulo ka! " sabi ni Kuya and then pushed his push cart. "ba't kayo magkasama ni Alex?"

"we both saw each other sa snr." Jax explained.

I was nervous na baka sabihin niya na kasama ko si Tristan so I tried connecting to him by looking at his eyes.

"eh mag isa kasi siya, so I decided to accompany her here."

Whoosh! Buti na lang at nagets niya yung gusto kong sabihin.

"I thought you'd be eating out with a friend? Alex are you lying? " paglilinaw ni Kuya.

Umiling ako "changed some plans, I wanted to eat by myself, kaso umepal si Jax."

"wow, seriously Alex? Para kang kuya mo." Jax defended himself.

Kuya laughed while picking out some pastas. Kuya cooks so good as much as dad.

"Jax will be helping me out tomorrow, right?" sabi ni Kuya kay Jax.

Jax shrugged his shoulders off kaya himapas siya ni Kuya sa braso.

"ofcourse you will! You have no choice! " sabi ni Kuya.

"go ask for someone else's help, Alexander. I'll be busy til 6" Jax said.

"where are you going then? May date ka nanaman? "

"maybe, I'm just going to meet someone then if time permits me, I might be able to attend your party. Baby boy." pag aasaran nila.

So ginawa talaga nila ako third wheel dito.

"I saw Tristan with a girl kanina, you saw him? " Kuya Alex asked.
