Allison Villanueva: At You Service (Finished)

chapter 26

Nang marating nila ang garahe, napakunot ang noo ni Allison ng makita ang sasakyan ni Mike. She’s about to speak up when Mathew open the shotgun door and motion his hands to get her inside. She slowly take steps and when she’s about to enter the car. “bakit andito pa yung kotse ni micheal? Akala ko ba umuwi na sila”. Mathew nod. “yah they left, but Mike already drunk and wasted so Jayden drive him home”.

“huh? Eh sino nag-uwi nong babae niya..yung baby munchkin...duh ang korni talaga?” takang tanong ni Allison at mapaklang napatawa nang maalala yung endearment ng dalawa. Kahit si Mathew natawa din sa sinabi ni Allison. “ ihahatid ni Jayden yun”. And then he totally close the door after and run to the driver side and climb inside the car too. He start the engine and manoeuvre the car.

“talaga? Eh pano naman si Amber?”.  Pagtuloy ni Allison na may halong taka padin. Nilingon siya ng bahagya ni Mathew. “Harvey took her home”. Nabigla naman si Allison ng hininto ni Mathew ang sasakyan at mas nabigla at napasinghap nang abutin ni Mathew ang seatbelt niya. Al can’t help but close her eyes...she’s being drug by Mathew scent. The way how close he is now to her driving Allison insane. Nang matapos ibuckle ni Mathew ang belt nagtaka siya sa itsura ni Allison. She looks dreaming “hey Alli are you okay?”. He frowns in curiousity.

Napamulat naman si Allison sa tanong ni Mathew at naiilang na tumingin sa gawi nito. Mathew’s right hand leaning on the backrest of her seat while his left elbow leaning on the wheel so his totally facing her. inipon ni Allison ang lakas niya para di magbuckle sa pagsasalita. “okay lang ako...medyo nahilo lang ako bigla”. Saka tumingin sa may bintana pasimple pa siyang kumagat labi para sa kilig na di niya alam bakit siya kinikilig nagyon. Mathew’s mouth partly open while he nod as his respond and manoeuvre again the car.

Maya-maya pa parangmay naririnig si Allison na impit na tawa kaya napalingo siya kay mAthew. Right now, he drives the wheel with just his right hand. His left arm is leaning in the open window while slightly biting his finger. Alam ni Allison na tumatawa ito at pinipilit na hinihinahon ang tawa nito kaya kinonpronta niya na. “ okay ka lang?”. Mathew’s faced partly turns to her and looks at her still his finger stuck on his lips. He even raises his eyebrows like his innocently wondering. Napaasim naman ag mukha ni Allison sa iginanti ni Mathew bilang sagot. “ okay ka lang ba talaga?” at dun na di napigilang napalakas ng tawa ni Mathew. “anong nakakatawa Mathew??”.iritang sambit ni Allison.

“wala naman”. Tsaka ibinaling na ulit ang tingin sa daan.  Allison frowns so deeply almost merge her two brows into one. “ Anong wala eh halos di mo nga makuha tumigil jan..siraulo”. Then she cross her arms and look the other side. Naiinis kasi siya feeling niya siya ang pinagtatawanan ni mAthew..which is true.

She heared Mathew snort for no any idea why. Sinamaan niya ito ng tinginhabang nakahalukipkip padin. “di ka ba talaga titigil jan? Sisipain na kita palabas”. Pagbabanta nito na nakangiting binalingan siya ni Mathew. “why are you pissed I didn’t do wrong”.pangangatwiran nito na hindi pa din maalis ang ngiti sa mga labi. Allison like what she is seeing right now... a happy Mathew but she’s also annoyed why he’s like laughing without anything to laugh about. “okay fine, sorry I just can’t help myself not to laugh”.

Tinaasan lag siya ng kilay ni Al, as an implication that she’s wants to know why. “naalala ko kasi yung ikinapikon mo kanina sa bahay...you know, about me courting you”. At sa agad din siyang sinuntok ni Allison sa braso ng sobrang napalakas yata dahil napangiwi si Mathew. “hey I’m driving.....(face distorted moving his arm muscle to ease the pain)...now your mad that I tell you why”.
