His Aphrodite

[Chapter 56: Together]

*Azure's Point of View

"Oh my gosh, he is so in love."

Agad naman akong napahikab at sabay na napatawa ng mahina habang nakatututok ang atensyon ko dito sa phone ko, nang bigla kong marinig ang sinabi ni Ree sa amin ni Bri.

"Well, what do you expect if the feeling is already mutual."Bee alongside with him agreed with what he said and are now both looking towards the other side of our hangout place here inside the Alum.

I eventually found myself turning my attention towards to what they're looking at and found out that guy, Zackyro, is currently lying down on Cee's lap, while the both of them are asleep in a couch.

Dahil sa nakita ko ay bahagya akong napailing.

"Just let them be, Ree. They're together now."

Bigla namang sumabat si Bri sa amin at inirapan siya, na naging dahilan para mapairap din sa kaniya si Ree bago humalukipkip sa tabi ni Bee na napapailing nalang sa sumbatan nilang isa't isa.

"My goodness graciousness. Mapaghihiwalay pa ba ang dalawang 'yan?"

Sabay-sabay kaming napatingin sa may pinto nang biglang pumasok sila Cav kasama sila Lee na agad na nakatingin sa kanila Zackyro at sabay din na napailing nang makita ang pwesto nila. Roge on the other hand shook his head once more and sat beside me.

Napatingin siya sa akin at sabay na ngumiwi.

"Is that even our Aphrodite?"He eventually said before lying down.

Unknowingly, I turned off my phone and once again took a glimpse towards the both of them who are still asleep. Napadako naman ang tingin ko kay Cee na mahimbing na natutulog na naging dahilan para hindi ko maiwasang mapabuntong-hininga ng tahimik.

I hope you still know what you're doing, Cee.

"Whatever you're thinking, Eve already knows that."

I suddenly gained my sense back, the moment Triton sat beside me and said blurted out those words. Seryoso siyang nakatingin sa kanila Zackyro at Cee habang kumakain ng ferrero na naging dahilan para sandaling mapailing agad ako sa kaniya.

He looked back at me eventually and genuinely smiled before messing up with my hair.

"She already had enough, Azu."Napasimangot naman ako nang guluhin niya yung buhok ko, pero agad din namang napatingin sa kaniya ng malamig nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya.

"She really had enough. Then, why?"I asked and turned my gaze back to Cee.

"We know her, Azu."Napangiti ulit siya sa akin bago tumayo at dala-dala yung ferrero box niya. He looked at me with his assuring eyes.

"She's uncontrollable, remember?"

Hindi ko naman napigilan na mapailing ng dahan-dahan at sabay na napatawa ng mahina nang sagutin niya ako. Eventually, we both look at each other before getting back to our own business the moment he left.

I sighed once more. Why still, Cee?

I immediately throw myself to the bed the moment I entered my room, and it made me yawned at the same time while my attention is still being diverted towards my phone. Pero agad naman akong napailing nang maalala ko yung naging pag-uusap naming dalawa ni Triton kanina sa Alum.

Reasonably, it made me to get up from my bed and kept shaking my head, wanting it to get rid off from my mind quickly. Damn.

"Still awake?"

Kusot-mata naman akong agad na napangiti nang marinig ko ang boses ni Cee na pumasok sa kwarto ko.

Diverting my attention towards her, I almost chuckled when I saw how weird it is to say that this is the first time again that I saw her standing still after being together with Zackyro for the last 2 days.

Ever since they've been together, there's no other moment that we coudln't see them away from each other. Halos hindi na namin sila mapaghiwalay dahil palagi nalang dumidikit sa kaniya si Zackyro.

Talk about being possessive. I mentally mocked, before gaining back my sense and gaze back to Cee.

"Yeah, just playing."I answered her question and pointed out my phone on the bed.

Tumingin siya sa akin at sabay na napailing.

"You know, no one can escape me."Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi niya, pero agad din namang napangiti nang nakakaloko nang ma-realize ko kung anong ibig sabihin niya doon.

"I told you, we never lose track."Dagdag niya pa. Nawala naman ang ngiti ko nang marinig ko 'yon at sabay na napatingin sa kaniya ng malamig.

"Do you have to?"I asked with concorned eyes that made her kiss me on the forehead. Sa ginawa niya ay napapikit ako at sandaling napaisip. I even mentally chuckled upon thinking something. Right.

Cee would never ever lose track.

Despite being acquainted with serious matters, inside me is a worried brother who just wanted to make sure everything will never lose control.

She is uncontrollable, after all. Muli akong napailing at tumawa ng mahina.

"You don't want to get in my way, do you Azu?"Bigla namang bumalik yung ngiti kong nakakaloko nang marinig ang sunod na sinabi niya.

I looked up to her and just shrugged.

"I would never do that. We would never do that, Cee. But what about him?"I saw how she was quite struck with what I just asked.

"You're together now. Shouldn't you tell him?"I asked once more that made her stood up and suddenly glance at me with her cold eyes.

"What do you think?"She grinned.

It was also the last thing that she ever said to me before kissing me a good night sleep on my forehead and eventually left me here shaking my head.

Napailing ako. Despite being together, it'll never be an exception for her. My, my, Cee.

"I was almost at the edge to think that she's not in love with him."

Agad naman akong napatingin sa may pinto nang pumasok si Bri na hawak-hawak din ang phone niya at sabay na humiga sa kama ko nang wala man lang pasintabi.

"You have your own room, right?"I bluntly stated out and throw one pillow towards him.

Ngumisi naman siya nang hindi ko alam kung bakit.

"She's still on with it, am I right?"He suddenly asked and gaze his full attention towards me.

I shrugged.

"We can't do anything about her. She doesn't want anyone getting in her way."Sabi ko at tumayo sa kama. He still followed me with his gaze and smirked.

"Even him?"He assumed. Napangisi rin ako sa naging tanong niya bago humarap sa kaniya at sumagot.

"Even him."I bluntly said.
