Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 16

Alex's POV

"nasa baba ka na nang floor ko naririnig mo parin yung mahinang mahinang tugtog? " I defended myself, Trip wasn't right, medyo oo malakas yung tugtog ko pero it was impossible na maririnig niya ito sa room niya.

I was on top of this hotel at sobrang layo ko na sakaniya for him to hear my music.

"Alex please know that hindi bingi ang mga nakatira dito. Minimize your music if you want to stay here." matindig niyang sabi, I feel like arguing with him was the hardest. Sobrang daming alam.

"Trip, sana di na lang kita naging ka neighbor." I said. I was so over him. He speaks way too much.

"oh okay." he said and then turned his back at me.

Alam ko medyo offensive yung sinabi ko sakaniya but I just wanted him to shut up then leave.

"sorry." I said to myself, after being so rude I felt bad .

I finished eating at nag ayos na for my afternoon class, good thing hindi ko nakita si Trip ngayon dahil I was too shy to face him. Maybe he got offended and maybe eh basta di ko talaga alam how to face him after saying na sana di ko nalang siya naging ka neighboor.

"Alex!!! Uwi ka na? " tanong nung ka seatmate ko sa isang class ko.

I nodded while showing her my loaded arms na dala dala yung mga printed notes ko. Goodthing at naihatid na rin yung keys ko kanina bago pa ako pumasok.

"di ka manonood nang game? I know you know Jaxrill Smith. He'll be playing. Come on let's watch! " pag anyaya niya saakin.

Jax didn't study here nor never had been here, hindi ko alam bakit sobrang popular niya. Out of curiosity dali dali naman akong nag padala sakaniya.

The field was way too crowded and I have no idea pano ko pa makikita yung players.

"excuse me Fernández po dadaan!!! " sigaw nang kasama ko. I felt like my cheeks were blushing at nahihiya ako sa ginagawa niya.

But it worked everyone gave way para makadaan kaming dalawa.

We were offered some seats near the players kaya naka panood narin ako nang maayos.

"uhh sorry I'm really bad at names, what's your name by the way? " I asked, I know kanina pa kami magkadikit pero I just can't recall her name.

"wow Alex ha so kind." sarcastic niyang sabi sabay tawa "I'm Tara. Jax's my cousin."

I smiled at her "thank you ha, buti nakapanood ako dahil sayo." I said.

"wala-" her words were cutted off dahil sa lakas nang pito sa harap namin.

Red card was showed out to a player. I looked naman and the player was from our school. I looked at Jax who was looking at us while hihingal hingal siyang nakapamewang. Sobrang tagaktak na rin sa buhok niya yung pawis.

"as I was saying, wala iyon." sabi ni Tara at nanood na lang.

After the game hinatid na muna ako ni Tara sa parking lot bago siya umuwi, I was so furious to leave the school dahil excited na akong matulog sa penthouse.

It started raining at kawawa naman yung mga nag lalakad.

The light strikes red so I have to wait at nilibang yung sarili ko sa pag tingin sa mga dumadaan.

*beep

Binusinahan ko si Jax nang makita kong wala siyang payong.

Goodthing he understood what I was trying to say at sumakay naman siya sa kotse ko.

"you startled me, don't do that." he said then brushed off his hair dahil nga basa.

"wala kang dalang kotse? " I asked.

"does it matter? " he sarcastically asked.

"alam mo ang sungit mo." sabi ko then looked away. "san ka ba nakatira? "

Hindi siya sumasagot so I slowly looked at him, nakatingin naman siua saakin.

"sorry." he said "dun sa may tapat nang company, you can actually just drop me off sa may sakayan nang bus." he calmly said.

"oh okay, I'll drop you off your condo." sabi ko then started driving again.

Jax kept quiet habang ako busy nag mamaneho. He kept on looking at his phone.

"are you in a hurry? " I asked, he seemed so furious eh.

Umiling naman siya "nope just checking the time, you haven't eaten dinner, haven't you? " he asked.

"haven't... yet" sabi ko

"do you mind if I cook for you? It's quite late tho." he said while scratching his head.

I smiled at him, sobrang ma effort pala ito that's why nagustuhan ni ate, I don't really enjoy fastfood that much eh.

I drove to his place for him to cook me some food, it almost past eleven and hell I'm starving.

"make yourself comfortable, I'll just go get my clothes changed." he said then went straight to his room.

His place looked so minimal, walang masyadong gamit, walang kalat, colors were black, gray, and white. So manly.

"damn, won't probably make my life out of here." I whispered. He seemed so simple and I'm not a fan of being just so ordinary.

"then don't. What do you want for dinner? " he said. He went straight to his kitchen then wore his apron.

Damn wouldn't even say more than most. He looks good.

"anong meron?" I asked, I'm allergic to peanuts and mainly baka kare kare pa ang ihain nito saakin.

"steak? Fish? Chicken? " he said while looking at his fridge. Sobrang organized kasi nakasulat lahat nang meron sa ref niya. Ate never had been this much organized.

"anything will do, cook what suits your hunger." I said then sat at the counter table to watch him cook.

I have just noticed his gold necklace, parang pang babae sa nipis but palagi ko lang naman napapansin na suot suot niya yan.

"your necklace looks good, where did it came from?" I out of nowhere asked, I was so curious. Hindi kasi mukhang sakaniya.

"this one." sabay tingin niya sa kwintas niya "it's from your ate."

That's why it looked so familiar, I know ate wore that before.

"birthday present, why'd you ask? " he asked.

umiling ako, I was just curious about the necklace and fortunately kay ate pala iyan galing.
