Adventure Of A Lifetime

Chapter 11

Thalia's POV

I was on my way to the mall, dumiretso ako sa bahay after the game para mag bihis at umalis din agad dahil gusto ni Laurynne na mag celebrate kami, i'm wearing a black tank top and oversized jeans. Nag pahatid lang ako kay Mang Ben sa SM north dahil kanina pa daw dun si Laurynne at naiinip na siya.

I was scrolling through my phone when i saw Gabriel's IG story, it was a picture of us! Naka peace sign ako sa unang picture at nakatingin siya sakin habang nakangiti, sa second picture naman nakatingin ako sakanya ng masama habang siya nakangiting nakatingin sa camera at nakahawak sa cheeks ko. We look like a couple!

Tumawag si Laurynne at sinabing nasa may cinema siya kaya sumakay ako ng escalator papuntang 3rd floor.
Some people would recognize me and ask if they can take a photo with me,
i'm already used to this. Lalo na kapag kakatapos lang ng laro namin at panalo kami, maraming nakakakilala.

Laurynne waved her hands kaya nakita ko agad siya pero napakunot ang noo ko nang makitang hindi siya nag iisa. She is with Jian Carlo!
Nagpa balik balik ang tingin ko sakanilang dalawa, tumawa si Jian Carlo dahil sa reaksiyon ko.

"chill ka lang thalia, hindi naman ako type ng bestfriend mo" jian carlo said

"shut up" Laurynne replied and rolled his eyes at him

Ano bang meron? May something ba sakanila? Kung meron man, magtatampo talaga ako sa bestfriend ko dahil hindi siya nagsasabi sakin!

"hey lia, if u want to ask something later na okay? Magsisimula na yung movie lets go!" Laurynne grab my hands kaya wala na kong nagawa

"i thought we're going to celebrate,
gagawin niyo lang pala kong third wheel" i pouted and look at them
Tinawan lang nila ko.

"wag ka mag alala, nandito yung pinsan ko" jian carlo pointed at Gabriel

He's walking towards us. I look at him from head to toe and admire his outfit, he look so good in his black shorts partnered with white shirt and denim jacket. He's holding a large sized popcorn and 3 bottled water.

He greeted me and waved his hands, i did the same. The movie started as we entered the cinema. i felt so cold because i'm just wearing a tank top, pano naman kase hindi man lang ako nainform na may double date palang magaganap sa cinema. Wew.

"Nilalamig ka?" Gabriel whispered

"Yeah, but don't try to remove your jacket and put it on me just like what boys do in movies. That's corny"
I answered without looking at him

He smirked.

"weh? Kahit manginig ka sa lamig hindi mo hihiramin tong jacket ko?"
He asked

"hindi" I answered bravely

"sige, bahala ka" He chuckled

I was so focused on the movie, trying to distract myself from the coldness that I'm feeling. I'm getting goosebumps because of it and i can see from my peripheral view that Gabriel keeps on glancing at me.

"ayaw kitang magkasakit" he said as he puts on his denim jacket on me

Amoy na amoy ko ang pabango niya na parang yumayakap sakin. Hindi na ko nakipag talo pa dahil parang mamatay na rin talaga ako sa lamig.

The movie finished kaya lumabas na kaming apat, i still can't take my eyes off to Jian Carlo and Laurynne. Well, jian carlo is a nice guy and he treats my bestfriend right so i wont protest if Laurynne was really dating him.
