Chapter 18: Seatbelt

"What's going on here?!" And as if on cue, biglang nakita kami ni dad sa posisyong ito.

"Dad..."

"Tito..."

"I can explain."

Hindi ko alam kung anong magiging reaksyon ko. I was just lying on the ground. Stuck with this stupid alien in this damn position.

"Get up. Both of you." Napahawak siya sa noo niya. "Umagang umaga naiisipan niyo kaagad na gumawa ng bata? Tigil tigilan niyo kong dalawa."

Hindi makatayo si alien. I can't even breath properly. Napatingin ako sa kanya and I blushed knowing that he's topless.

"Waaah! Anong nangyayari rito?"

Biglang lumabas si mom na may dalang camera at *flash* pinicturan kami.

"Tumayo ka! Get up! Bilis!" Napasigaw na ako in panic. If that picture even gets posted on facebook, I'm dead. I am so dead.

Tumayo naman agad si alien at nanghingi ng pasensya samantalang ako ay nakaupo sa sahig. Shivering at the events that happened.

"Mauuna na po ako." Sabi niya at naglakad na pataas.

Sinundan naman siya ni mom with one eyebrow up and a malicious smile. "Hihihi... Ipopost ko na to."

Nanghina ang buong katawan ko. Fine, Over Acting is what you call it but it's actually a matter of life and death. And right now, I'm on death's side.

"Explain, Katy." I didn't realize that dad was still there. Kung nakakatunaw lang ang mga tingin, kanina pa ako naging deformed human dito.

"D-dad. Nag-aagawan lang po kami ng remote." I smiled sheepishly knowing that I wouldn't get away this time. Inabot ko ang remote na nalaglag ni alien kanina at pinakita ito kay dad."Ito oh. Nag-aagawan nga lang kami ng remote."

"Sa tingin mo naniniwala ako sa excuse na yan? Seriously, Katy? Nag aagawan kayo ng remote?" His arms are crossed.

"Y-yes dad." Unti unti akong tumayo para makaharap siya.

"So anong kwento?" He said in a sarcastic tone. "Nag-aalmusal ka habang nanonood ng T.V. tapos pinatay niya so nag agawan kayo ng remote tapos bigla ka niyang kiniliti at hanggang sa naging ganun ang posisyon niyo? Ang galing naman nun, anak."

Napakunot ang noo ko at hindi mapaliwanag ang mukha ko. "Ah. Eh. Yun nga po." Napakamot ako ng likod ng ulo. "That's exactly what happened."

Dad glared at me. "You're grounded."

Bv "Ha?" I cannot believe this. "College na ko dad. I need to go out!"

"Then Ace will always accompany you."

"W-what?! Are you crazy? No! Ayoko!"

"Don't raise your voice on me!" Napaatras ako ng bahagya.

"You're the one who got me stuck with that idiot in my room pero ayaw mo na makita ako at siya in that kind of position? Wow." I hissed while pointing at the stairs.

Then it happened. Sinampal ako ni dad. "You're grounded. For a month." at saka siya naglakad papalayo.

Hot tears formed in my eyes. "Fine!" I shouted then ran upstairs to my bedroom.

Pag akyat ko, nakatitig lang si alien sakin. No reactions. Walang kahit anong expression sa mukha niya while I was badly hurting. Pigil na pigil ako sa pagtulo ng mga luha ko.

"Bakit?" I managed to say a word.

Umiling lang siya. Tumalikod at may kinuha sa loob ng cabinet niya.

Hindi ko na napigilan. Napatakbo na lang ako sa kama ko at umiyak. Hindi ako makatigil sa pag iyak. Ang hirap.

"Katy." Napalingon ako sa kanya. May hawak siyang dalawang pirasong papel. Ngumiti siya saakin at umupo sa kama ko. "Get dressed. Aalis tayo."

~*~

"Bakit? Saan kayo pupunta?" Kausap ni dad si alien ngayon. Ang sabi ni alien, magshoshopping lang daw kami para raw mas maging maayos ang lahat ng requirements. The truth is, wala namang requirements sa uni ngayon. Gawagawa lang namin ang dahilang yun para makalabas.

"Sige, but be back before 9 pm. Yun ang curfew niyo. Understand, young man?"

"Yes, sir." Ngumiti si alien kay dad samantalang inisnob lang siya nito at tinuloy na ang pakikipag usap sa isang business partner.

Lumapit saakin si alien at tumango. "Let's go."

I nodded then followed him outside. Bago ako makalabas, napatingin saakin si dad at ako rin sa kanya. Halatang galit pa rin ito saakin pero nagpatuloy na lang ako sa paglalakad. I never looked back.

Nang makarating kami sa labas may isang red na sports car ang tumambad saamin. "Get in." Utos niya.

Inantay ko siyang ibukas ang pinto ng kotse but instead pinindot niya lang ang remote at naglakad na siya sa kabilang side ng kotse.

I shrugged then went inside. Sakto dahil sabay kaming nakapasok. "You're not a gentleman. Hindi mo man lang ako pinagbuksan ng pinto." I folded my arms across my chest.

He gave me a poker face then ginulo niya ang buhok ko. "First of all, hindi dun nasusukat ang pagiging gentleman. Second, I wasn't born a gentleman. I was born cold hearted so get used to it."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Whatever."

Naglagay siya ng shades and I cannot believe I stared at him. Everything went slow motion. He's undeniably good looking. I stopped staring when he suddenly looked at me.

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko. And he smiled.

"Another world record Ms. Quizen. Drooling over me for the first time."

"W-wha--"

"Deny and I'll kiss you."

Nanahimik na lang ako as he silently drove away with a smirk. I kept staring ahead the road kahit alam ko sa sarili ko na gusto ko siyang tignan maghapon. What's wrong with me?

"My dad was a race car driver." Napatingin ako sa kanya. He was trying to start a conversation. I kept on looking at him while his eyes were fixed on the road.

Why hadn't I noticed his lips before? It looks so soft and fluffy and...

"Ms. Quizen, are you listening?"

"H-huh?"

"I said," he chuckled as he flashback in his memories and I instantly felt my feet go weak. "When I was a kid, I tried to drive one of my dad's race car and guess what?"

He looked at me pero hindi siya nag antay ng sagot at ibinalik niya rin agad ang attention niya sa daan. "I almost died." He laughed.

I smiled. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang naging comfortable na tumawa at magkwento saakin at the same time.

He looked at me with a smile. "And because of that, I became a good driver."

"Oh, really?"

Lumapit siya sa akin at ang buong akala ko ay kukunin niya ang first kiss ko. Pero lumagpas siya at nasa gilid ng leeg lo ang ulo niya.

"B-bakit?"

"Seatbelt." He said in an amused tone.
