Love in Trouble

Chapter 9: Continuation of 'date' kunno

Cali's POV

"H-uh??"  Clint rolled his eyes on me. I sighed, okay fine.

"Oo na!" Hinila niya ako at binayaran niya ang bike na rinent niya para saakin. Nangnunot ang noo ko ng umangkas siya.

"Hoy! Anong ginagawa mo?" I yelled.

"Obvious ba? I'm sitting, you'll drive." Napamaang ako sa inis at napabuntong-hininga nalang. Kainis!

"Tamad! May bayad to, gago. 1 thousand per minute." I heard him tsked. I smirked.

The surrounding was peace, it has a lot of trees, the bird was flying freely. It has a lot of benches too that was free for the people to sit on. Maraming nagtitinda, cotton candy, barque's and so on.

I felt him touched my waist a bit, lilingunin ko sana siya ng singhalin niya ako.

"Eyes on the road lady, don't worry inayos ko lang naman ang naa-angat mong damit." Pinamulahan ako ng mukha at nagpatuloy na lang sa pagpipidal.

"Ikaw nalang muna! I'm fucking tired already can't you see?!" I blunted angrily. He wants me to drive that fvcking bike again! Bitch please, shut it im damn tired!

"Tss. Noob, you'd just drive for about twenty minutes, you're tired already." My ears snapped. How dare him?

"NOOB?! fuck you." He smirked. Nagulat ako ng lumapit ito saakin at itinapat ang bibig saaking tenga.

"Not here baby, there's a lot of people." Embarrasment was killing me to core bitch! Pinamulahan ako ng mukha ng ma-realized ang sinasabi niya. I punched him angrily.

"You damn jerk!" I shooked my head. Really i lost my patience. Iniwan ko siya roon at nagbalik sa isang food stall. I ordered water for me. FOR ME ONLY.

"Thanks." I said when she handed my mineral water. My brows furrowed when I saw Clint walking towards me, though the bike wasn't on his side. Where is it? Maybe he returned already?

"Let's go." I raised my brow.

"Tss. I mean let's go home. I thought you're tired?" Well, oo nga naman. But what the fuck will I do in my house? I don't want the scent of paints. Sinisimulan na kasi ang renovation ng bahay ko.

"You go now then, if you want. I don't want to go home yet." This time he raised his brow. Tss gay.

"What will you do here then?" I shrugged, i don't know either.

"I still don't know. Basta ayoko munang umuwi. Kung gusto mo mauna ka ng umalis, I can do better without you." He smirked and shooked his head annoyingly.

"Tss. Whatever." What a gay. Tinalikuran ko na siya dahil nakakasawa siyang tignan. Pumunta ako sa bench sa harap ng fountain. I saw a cute little girl. Her hair was on a pigtail and her skin was white as a snow. Her lips was pouty and eyes were blue! Aww, nice sight. In her left hand she was holding a weird doll. Geez, it was like a 'chanak?' I don't know, kasi naman sobrang itim na noon at halatang luma na, then wala pa ang ibang parts, like hand and eyes. Weird. She looked rich kid anyway. I know what she was wearing right now, a cute pink dress from moose gear. Then a doll shoes from gucci.

Nagulat ako ng bigla itong umiyak, nataranta ko itong linapitan pero hindi ko muna siya kinausap, maybe that will creep her out! She was crying while hugging the doll with her little arms. Pumula ng sobra ang pisngi maging ang ilong nito. She was sniffing when she looked at me. Like a strike of lightning the way i stunned. Umupo ako sa harap niya para maglebel ang aming mga mukha.

"You alright? Why are you crying?" She cried again kaya nataranta na naman ako. I'm not used in handling kids! I don't know what will i do first, should I wiped her tears? Or should I say to her to stop crying? Argh! This is hard.

I stunned when I saw Clint sitting on my side and faced the girl too. He was seriously looking at her.

"Stop crying now. You're a big girl right?" He said and wiped the tears the are continuing to fall in her cheeks. The kid stop crying but still sniffing. Clint smiled and messed her cute light brown hair.

"Now tell me why are you crying?" He ask.

"It's my birthday. But my parents didn't remmember it. They're busy in planning for Camilla's christenning this coming Sunday." Another pair of tears fell from her eyes, longingness, sadness, jealousy filled her eyes. My heart sank, i held her hand and pulled her for a hug.

"Shh. It's okay, everything will be fine don't worry. You'll be happy. You should be happy." My voices was slightly shaking, hindi ko alam kung bakit nasasaktan ako ng ganito. I'm not into kids since Ashton came. Maybe----kaya ako nasasaktan ng ganito dahil pareho kami ng sitwasyon?

"I just don't uderstand----w-hy--" her voiced cracked. And that make my tears fell too. "---why they love Camilla so much, she was just an adopted daughter...but it seems like she's the apple of the eye in everyone's eyes" That's it. Were really same situation. Humikbi ito, i gulped harldy. Nagbabara ang lalamunan ko at sobrang sikip ng dibdib ko.

While i'm hugging her, my tears were falling too, like a waterfalls. While the kid was hugging me too and still crying. Walang nagsasalita puro pag-hikbi naming dalawa ang naririnig namin. We shed tears for a long moment. And that's made me feel better now. Hinarap ko siya at nginitian.

"When you feel that you're lonely and sad, and you think that no ones love you. Think about me. I will always be by your side, and comfort you when you're in pain." I wiped her tears on her cheeks. I smiled sincerely.

"I know what are you feeling. Coz i'm same as you. Our situation were same. Stop thinking about them because that will make you more in pain. Be happy as long as you have everything, be sincere for everything don't pretend if you're not okay, you can always count on me. Remmember that." She smiled sweetly and hugged me for awhile again. Nagulat ako sa ibinulong niya.

"Thank you po Ate. And don't be sad too because i'm here for you and the guy in your back too." She whispered and giggled.

Dahil doon napa-harap ako saaking likod at nakitang seryosong nakatitig saakin si Clint. Damn those stares again! He was standing while his hands in his pocket.

Tumikhim ako at iniwas ang mata sakanya. Tinignan ko naman ang cute na batang nasa harapan ko.

"What your name? You can call me Ate Cali if you want." She nodded excitedly.

"My name is Elise po. And this Marie my favorite doll." I almost choked when she make me faced her weird creepy doll!

Natatawa ko naman itong hinawi. "You know that, your doll is a bit--you know--" hindi ko masabi dahil baka masaktan siya!

"I know po. She's ugly. But i don't care this doll was from mommy and daddy this is the last gift that they gave to me....." 'last'. Ganaano ka 'last' iyon at mukhang sobrang tagal na?

"Ahmm..I'm sorry about that. Wait, you said that today is your birthday right?" She nodded.

I smiled and remove my necklace, a gold simple meteor pendant necklace. I smiled and wear it to her. She was smiling yet still shy.

"Hindi naman po kailangan. This is yours po kaya huwag niyo pong ibigay saakin." Nahihiya niyang sabi.

"Nope. This is my gift for you. And take care of it okay?" She smiled and nodded again and again. I laughed.

I love this kid...
