Splendiferous (Legazpi #1)

Five

5.

From: Aleezah

Hey! It's getting pretty late, pagagalitan ako ni kuya 'pag ang magiging uwi natin mamaya sa mansion ay lagpas 1. You should be going here.

BTW, how's my kuya's lips? Did you enjoy? I won't tell Arlszent hihi.

That's the message I recieved from Aleezah as I opened my phone. I didn't reply and just went back to the counter where I left my purse when Aleezah dragged me a while ago. Binuksan ko ito at nang makitang wala namang nawawala ay dumiretso muna ako sa restroom para ayusin ang sarili. Nag-smudge pala ng kaunti ang lipstick ko dahil sa nangyari kanina. So I retouched my makeup and I also decided to tie my hair into a high ponytail.

Lumabas na ako ng restroom at balak na sanang umalis. Sa ngayon ay may bago nang nasa loob ng stockroom. Who knows what they're doing? Nagsimula na ako maglakad para tunguin ang pintuan at madaraanan ko muli ang couch kung nasaan sila Xerxes at mga kaibigan nito.

Ngayon ko lamang mas napansin ang kabuuan niya kahit nakaupo siya, kanina kasi noong magkasama kami sa stockroom ay sa mukha lamang niya ako nakatingin.

He's wearing a maroon button-down shirt, with three buttons open and sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his shirt's tucked in his black fitted pants. He's wearing a brown leather boat shoes for his footwear and he still had his diamond stud earring on. His hair was brushed on one direction like his usual style, but the difference is that it's more of a wet look and there are some strands falling at the sides.

I wonder why he didn't let me touch his hair?

"You just kissed? That's new, X. Bakit hindi mo pa tinira?" I heard Lix asking.

I thought he would tell them that it's because I'm a virgin but he answered differently.

"The brother might kick my ass if I that happens," he reasoned.

Gusto ko siyang pasalamatan sa idinahilan niya dahil ayaw ko rin kasi ng ipinagkakalat pa na wala akong experience. I don't deny, but it doesn't mean that I should broadcast it, too.

As I pass by, I saw Xerxes shifted his gaze at my direction and when our eyes met, he bit his lip and winked at me. I gave him a playful smile in return before heading towards the door.

I was about to get my phone to book a Grab when someone spoke and stood beside me. "You did said a while ago that your brother cannot take you back in Parañaque, right?" asked X. He followed me outside? I nodded to him as an answer.

"Come." He started walking and I just found myself following where he's going. We reached his Lambo and he opened the shotgun seat, gesturing me to get in. "I'll take you there," he insisted.

Nagtataka man ako ay pumasok nalang rin ako sa loob. When he got in, binuksan na rin niya ang makina. Maging ang roof ng sasakyan ay ibinaba niya rin. He drived us out of the clubhouse which made me a bit shocked.

"You know how to drive?!" I asked in surprise.

"Yeah," he simply answered.

He knows how to freaking drive?! "Then why did you hire my brother as your driver?"

"Honey, we're not in a fucking action movie. Hindi ka makakapagdrive ng maayos habang nakikipagbarilan ka."

I was shocked by his answer. Barilan?

He really is a criminal, then! He might have recognized the shock that's evident on my face so he let out a laugh.

"Don't be afraid, I won't shoot you," he gave me a small smile.
