Igniting Chances

Chapter 26

Sister and Girlfriend

"You sure you'll wear swim suit tonight?" Kunot noong tanong ni Gad sa akin. Ngumisi lang ako sa kanya habang kinakalkal ang bagahe.

Why not Gad?

"Yes, but you're too young to wear swim suit." Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.

"Me being young doesn't mean I can't wear swim suit Gad." Saktong nahanap ko ang damit na gusto ay may kumatok sa pinto. The door opened, it is Van.

I smiled widely.

"Thought you'll wait for me?" Taas kilay na tanong nya at tuluyang pumasok. Mabilis kong binalik ang swim wear sa bag. "You're with Gad, I'm getting jealous na." Saad nya at umupo sa tabi ko.

I saw how Gad raise his thick brows on us before turning around on his pc and continue playing games.

"Inaantok na kasi ako eh." I lied. Tumingin sya kay Gad at sa kama nito.

"You'll sleep with Gad again?" Kunot noong tanong nya. "Sleep over in my room instead, hindi naman kayo magkasundo--"

"What the hell Van? You have a girlfriend and you're asking Ahonoama to sleep in you freakin' room, are you crazy?" Gad has a point and he save me this time. I want to drink, and I dont think I can drink with Van.

He wont let me.

"Chill bro, Aho is a little sister to me. Walang malisya even Nadia knows that. Right Aho?" Tumatango akong napaiwas ng tingin.

I felt sadness in my heart, does Gad think I'm his little sister too?

Does older brother call their sister baby too?

"Ahonoama is not that little girl anymore, dalaga na sya." Dagdag pa ni Gad sa sinabi nya kanina.

"Okay, okay. I understand." Inakbayan ako ni Van at dinikit pa lalo sa kanya.

Ang bango naman.

"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" Tanong nito.

Nagisip ako.

"Ikaw magluluto?" Tanong ko.

"Hmm."

"Anything basta luto mo." Saad ko.

"Okay!"

"You should go to bed, you two." Mabilis akong napatingin kay Gad sa sinabi nya.

Hindi na kami iinom?

"Okay, goodnight Aho." Van kissed my forehead. "Sweet dreams."

Tumayo sya at lumabas na.

"H-hindi na tayo iinom?" Malungkot na tanong ko.

"Drinking isn't good for you Ahonoama." Saad nya at ni-shut down and pc.

I pouted, he stoop up then went on his small fridge then open a wine.

"Let's just drink wine, no beer or any tequila. Pinakain ko na sa mga maid kanina yung nabili nating mamapanis na pagkain." Napangiti ako, not minding the last sentence. I'm fine, that's fine with me. Anything is fine as long as si Gad ang mags-serve.

"Yay!" I said then went to his bathroom with my swim suit. "Magbibihis lang ako, wag ka muna pumasok." I said.

May ngiti ako sa labi habang pinapanood ang repleksyon ko sa salamin na nagbibihis ng isang swim suit na kulay purple, plain and simple. Nangiti ako. I have a good body, not that mold yet but its nice for my age. I covered my self with his robe on the bathroom, paglabas ko at nakahubad na si Gad at tanging short nalang ang suot. Agad akong napaiwas ng tingin.

"Pakikuha nalang yung pagkain, then pa-lock nung pinto." Tumaas ang kilay ko. As if he'll gonna do something bad on me. "Baka mahuli tayong umiinom." Tila alam nya ang nasa isip ko. Hindi ako kumibo at sinunod ang utos nya. Pagbalik ko sa Bathroom ay nakasindi na ang jacuzzi, napangiti ako habang pinapanood si Gad na inaayos ito.

"Gosh! I'm so excited." I was about to remove my robe when I felt my insecurities. Is this fine?

Is my body fine?

I felt conscious looking at Gad.

"What are you thinking." Umupo sya sa gilid ng jacuzzi. "It's fine a'right." Ngumiti sya. Mabilis akong napaiwas ng maramdaman ang kabog ng dibdib. "It's fine wearing swim suit as long as ako ang kasama mo."

Napalunok ako. Marami ata akong nakain kanina dahil natuwa ako kay Nadia, baka malaki tiyan ko ngayon.

"Come here baby. You wanted jacuzzi, now I'm giving it to you, what's wrong?" Gad pulled me closer to him and hug me from the back.

My thoughts flew, I can only hear my heart beating so fast.

What am I to Gad?

Am I his sister or his girlfriend?

Is't okay for me to be his sister?

Or do I like something more than that?
