Chapter 18

Pancakes

The golden goddess' eyes widened while the stupid dickhead looked confused.

The goddess was wearing a nice t-shirt that was knotted to fit her perfectly, exposing a little bit of her flat and toned stomach. Nakaleggings din siya na itim. Her shiny long wavy hair lies softly on her left shoulder.

On the other hand, the dickhead was wearing a plain white t-shirt and basketball shorts.

The goddess held a pan while the dickhead just stood beside her, limp and useless.

I yawned. Again. For the nth time this day.

Iyon ata ang cue nila upang gumalaw na.

Sumandal ako sa may doorway, crossed my arms at bored silang tinignan.

"Babe!" matinis na sambit ng babae. Inilapag niya ang pan at tumakbo papalapit kay Winter.

Niyakap niya ito ng mahigpit at hinagkan sa pisngi.

Winter smiled at her. I think I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes when he smiled but maybe that's just the lighting playing with my eyesight. I couldn't really trust my eyesight when I'm too sleepy.

Nakita ko namang umirap si Phoenix. I can't help but smirk at the sight of it. 

Clearly, the girl loves Winter and clearly, his stupid plan didn't work. Again.

Humalakhak ako sa aking utak.

Napatingin naman sa akin si Phoenix at umirap nang makita ang nang-aasar kong ngisi.

"Lottie, this is Safira. Saf, this is Lottie, my girlfriend," pag-introduce ni Winter sa amin.

Umayos naman ako ng tayo at naglahad ng kamay sa kanya. I gave her a small smile. She smiled back in return. 

Unlike mine, hers looked like it can light up the entire world. I almost laughed at my thought. I can almost hear a corny One Direction song in my head. 

Tinanggap niya ang aking kamay at nginitian ako.

"Nice to meet you!" masayang sambit nito.

"Likewise," sabi ko nalang.

"What are you preparing?" tanong ni Winter sa babae kaya nabaling sa kanya ang atensyon nito.

"Pancakes!" masigla nitong sagot. Winter chuckled.

"Well, that's the only thing you can cook," natatawa at tila nang-aasar na sabi ni Winter.

"Grabe!" maarteng sambit ng babae. She even pouted.

She doesn't even look like a trying hard pabebe with that pout! 

God really has favorites. 

Sumandal nalang ulit ako sa may pintuan at hinintay silang matapos maglandian. Naramdaman ko naman na may dumampi sa aking braso.

Nilingon ko ito at nakitang nakahawak sa braso ko si Phoenix. He looked at me questioningly. 

"Why are you here?" tanong niya. He was genuinely curious. Wala akong narinig na kung ano mang pang-aasar o panggagago sa kanya which is weird and very unusual.

"Literature," simpleng sagot ko. I flicked my elbow para maalis ang kapit niya sa akin.

Tumango naman siya at ngumisi. Tumingin naman na ako ng diretso sa dalawang patuloy pa rin ang usapan.
