Maximus (A tagalog novel)

Chapter 18

Caleb's POV

"Uh Caleb! Don't stop!" Bree screamed while I continue to take her on a missionary position.

Tuwang tuwa naman ang babae sa pagbigay ko ng atensyon sakanya.

Simula ng dumating ito galing Australia at nagpasyang magbakasyon sa Pinas ay hindi na natigil ang aming pagkikita. At lingid iyon sa kaalaman ni Ellie.

Pero alam ni Bree na nobya ko si Ellie. Kasingtigas ng puso ni Bree ang puso ko kaya naman madalas kami sumasang ayon sa mga bagay at pananaw sa buhay.

She's a happy go lucky teen like me. Walang problema sa buhay sapagkat nandyan ang magulang upang tustusan ang aming mga luho.

"Wow! That was amazing, Caleb" Nahahapong sambit nito bago nagsuot ng kanyang saplot.

"You were amazing" I replied, before grabbing my cellphone and decided to call my so called girlfriend.

"Are you trying to call your stupid little girlfriend again?" She scoffed and I didnt answer.

Not long before Ellie answered.

"Hello?" She muttered with that soft angelic voice.

"Ellie.."

"Caleb..bakit ngayon ka lang tumawag?" She mumbled under her lips.Her tone is accusing and its kinda cute.

"Sorry, I was trying to finish my homework" I told her and I saw Bree smiled and winked.

I remember the day I met Ellie when I was waiting for Levi at the lobby of his building. The moment I saw her I knew we were gonna get along. And so we did.

And then I learned that we study at the same school which is perfect because I get to spend time with her.

Dont get me wrong here, cause Ellie is not my type.

But both our lives changed when I asked her to come with me at Levi's Mansion to drop off something. Then the two met. And from then on I knew something was up with those two.

I could tell Levi was easily attracted to her. I realized that the last time we had a family dinner. He looks at me sideways whenever I mutter Ellie's name on purpose.

That gave me an idea.

Half of what I said to Ellie about Levi is true. Hindi kami close nito sapagkat I chose not to. And Ellie didnt know that. I hate my brother. My parents always give him all the attention since he was young. Ako ang bunso ngunit parang ito ang mas pinag tutuunan ng pansin ng aking mga magulang at relatives.

Lumaki akong kinamumuhian ito. Naiinggit ako sapagkat abot kamay na nito ang langit kung pera at babae lamang ang pag uusapan. At napakaswerte nito kay Jessica.

Si Jessica.

My childhood crush. The love of my life.

But Levi took her away from me and now he's about to marry her.

And Jessica needs to know whats going on between Ellie and Her fiance. He needs to lose this war for once.

At paano ko nga ba gagawin iyon? Papaano ko pahiyain ang aking kapatid at ipamukha rito na hindi nya makukuha lahat ng kanyang gusto.

I feel sorry for Ellie that I had to lie to her and use her against my brother. Ito lang ang tanging paraan para makuha ko ang aking gusto.

I want Levi to know how it feels like to be rejected. How its like to lose someone important.

Alam ko ang namamagitan sakanila ni Ellie. Na nakatira ito ngayon sa bahay ni Levi. At alam ko ang nangyari sakanila ng matapos ang birthday party ni Jackson. She slept in his room.
