LOVE-NAT, isang makulit na love story! ♥ [ 1 of 2 ]

Chapter 45-3. Tequila Baby!

Dahan-dahan lang si Sef sa pagpapaandar, kinakapa yung lugar. He was concentrating on AJ’s instructions, until Ellie started to whimper – a sign that she was starting to gain consciousness mula sa mahimbing nitong pagkakatulog. Sef glances at her, only to find Ellie staring hard at him with a wide grin plastered all over her drunken face. Parang nananaginip ng gising ang dalaga.

Sef find her smile and stare a bit awkward, lalo pa’t naalala niya ng niyakap siya ng dalaga kanina sa parking lot. He felt his cheeks turned a little bright red, and mentally hated himself for it. He threw a frown at her, ”What?” He asked. “What is it this time?”

But Ellie seemed unmoved, hindi siya naapektuhan sa pagsusuplado ni Sef sakanya. Mas lalo lang siyang ngumiti habang pumupungay-pungay ang kanyang mga mata sa naiinis na binata. Parang konti na lang, her eyes will turn to hearts. ”Haaiii…” She sighed dreamily, still staring fondly at Sef’s face. “Bakit pa ko kakain ng Rebisco? Kung sa’yo pa lang masarap na ang feeling ko.”

Sef’s eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped. It took him a minute before he chuckled with amusement. “The wonders of alcohol…” He thought out loud, smiling as he shook his head. “Sandali na lang, we’re almost there. Makakapag-pahinga ka na.”

But Ellie was far from stopping. Ngayon lang umepekto ang ilang baso ng Baileys at 15 shots ng Tequila sakanya. Her eyes were heavy, pero nakuha pa din nitong mag-beautiful eyes.“Alam mo kung Facebook status ka lang, hinding-hindi kita ishe-share.”

Sef looked at her, one brow raised in confusion dahil ngayon na-kumpara pa siya sa isang Facebook status.

“Syempre, para ako lang ang makaka-like sayo!!” And she laughed, sabay pisil sa pisngi ni Sef. OH DEYM, BANGAG SI ELEONOR!!! BANGAG NA BANGAG!! Ano bang akala niya? Nasa palabas siya ni John Lloyd Cruz at siya kanwari si Toni Gonzaga? Ano ‘toh My Amnesia Girl, Part 2?

“Ah, you’re wasted!” Sef smirked but for some reason he was actually enjoying it.“Enough with the cheesy lines, alright?” But the smile was hard to wipe off his face. “Ituro mo na lang sakin yung daan, Ellie.”

“Okay, pero ibalik mo muna sakin yung sulat ko.“ She opened her palm like a small little girl waiting for some candies.

Sef gave another serious frown. “You’re totally… wait, what letter?”

Ellie waved a hand in the air in disapproval. “Pssh.” Her eyes seemed as if they’re about to close any minute now.“Mas madali bang magkunwaring hindi mo na lang nabasa?” Sabay tawa – isang nakakalasing na tawa. “Hm… May tanong ako…” Ellie leaned forward so as to eye Sef closer.

Sef stepped on the breaks para tumingin sa lasing na dalaga. Actually, si Sef ang may gustong mag-tanong sakanya. Hindi kasi niya toh maintindihan. Ano ba yung sulat na sinasabi niya?

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa, Both searching each other’s eyes… the longer they looked, the more they felt an invisible electricity coursing right through them… and Ellie looked as if, she’s just about to ask something BIG. Sef has never seen her looked so serious… itanong lang niya ng tama, and Sef wouldn’t hesitate about answering her…

Every tick of the clock… another heartbeat…

And Ellie opened her lips upang bigkasin ang pinaka seryosong tanong na maririnig ni Sef sa tanan ng buhay niya -“Kung kamuka ni Aling Dionisia ang lahat ng ipapanganak na bata araw-araw, kokonta ka pa ba sa RH Bill?”

Ilang beses na bang palakad-lakad si Darren sa labas ng gate nila? Oo, mula sa loob ng kwarto niya, sa salas, hangaang sa umabot na siya sa kalsada, sa may tapat mismo ng gate nila.
