Way Back Into Love

chapter fifteen

MARGAUX

"Last na to." Sambit ko habang ginagamot ang sugat nang kapatid ko. I still worried for him. Paano kung makita ito nila Mommy baka mapagalitan ito.

"Ate, don't worry hindi na ito makikita ni Mommy." Saad nito habang naka-ngiti. Pero agad namang napa-siklot nang madampi-an ang pasa nito nang gamut na inilagay ko.

"Make sure na gagamutin mo sugat mo" Gregory said

"Thanks Kuya Greg." Carlos said and looks at the person who was leaning in the table like they know each other that much.

"I thought you're a taekwondo player, why did you let them beat you?" naka taas kilay nitong sabi sa kapatid ko.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi nito. Bakit nito alam na taekwondo player ang kapatid ko? hindi ko naman nasambit ito sa kanya. I look at him, unless pinag-patuloy nito ang pagpapa-imbistiga sa akin.

"Don't look at me like that." He said

"Yes I am. But I'm still thinking of my sister's reputation. I don't want to put her in any trouble but that asshole said those shitty words towards her, that's why I give him a punch and I know he deserved that but he had an alliance and I ended up like this." Nakasimangot na sagot ni Carlos.

"Good move. Kung ako lang, wasak na pagmumukha nun" tugon naman ni Gregory

Napa-irap naman ako dahil sa pagkaka-tugma nang isipan nang dalawa.

"Hey, I told you not to utter those words and I said stay away from trouble. At ikaw naman" baling k okay Gregory na parang inosenteng bata na nakatingin sa akin.

"Stop spoiling him with your encouragement words." He just shrugs his shoulder towards me.

"But Ate, instead of talking to him nicely, I'd rather punch them to make it clear that I don't like how they insult you and your work." He said justifying his reason.

Napa-buntong hininga naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito. I take the ice cream and give it to him.

"Eat it."

Agad naman nitong tinanggap at nanahimik na. Binaling ko naman ang tingin ko sa katapat. He still looking at my brother but I guess his looking to the thing my brother eating. Napailing nalang ako nang tumingin ito sa gawi ko. I unwrapped one of the ice cream and give it to him. I saw him smile a little.

Gregory Monteverde is also childish sometimes.

"Thank you." I said towards him.

He stop from licking that thing and look at me with amusement.

"If you are thankful you must pay me." He said with some naughty look and smile in his Lucifer face. I don't know when my face becomes hot. How could this man become childish and then turn to a bad man? The man is two-face gorgeous human being.

"Pay?" sambit ni Carlos, he put a questionable face towards us.

"Nothing, it's not for you to be concern young man." Gregory saved my face from my brother. My brother just shrugged his shoulder for acceptance.

"Adults thing" Carlos reply and then continued licking his ice cream

"Anyways, why do I feel that you know each other already?" kanina ko pa gustong tanungin yun sa dalawa.

Nagka-tinginan muna ang dalawa bago ko narinig na nagsalita si Carlos

"You don't know? Kuya Gre—"

"I'll tell you later." Agaw ni Gregory sa sasabihin nito, he even wink to my brother and the latter give him an evil smile. Should I be bothered by this bromance here?
