Chapter VIII-IX (Klein's POV)

Napansin ko, parang nagkulong na yung baliw na yon sa room niya.

Then, nakasalubong ko sila Zane at Cindy. Buti nalang roommate ni Cindy si Aeona kaya dali- dali akong pumunta sa room nila. Plus, sinabihan ako ni Cindy na samahan ko daw muna si Aeona sa room nila at antayin siyang makabalik. Nice.

When I got there, I knocked several times pero antagal buksan. Ang slow talaga.

"A-Ano kailangan mo?" she asked as soon as she opened the door.

Anong klaseng pagbati yan? siya na nga tong pinuntahan. Hindi pa naman ako sanay puntahan ang isang babae kase sila pumupunta sakin, hays.

"I was looking for you. Akala ko nga nalunod ka na. Tinanong ko pa boybest mo but he doesn't know. Buti nalang kasama niya si Cindy" I said.

"Ano ba kailangan mo?" she asked na may halong inis.

"Ikaw" Damn, what? no! "I mean, nood nalang tayo. Samahan kita dito" agad kong dinagdag.

Pumasok ako sa room nila at umupo sa isang bed.

"Ha?! n-no! magagalit si Cindy" she complained. Lame excuse.

"I've already asked her and pwede daw ako magstay dito"

I saw her mumbled. Ang cute! I checked her phone and she was watching netflix. Kaya naman pala ambagal.

"Why do you watch netflix on your phone? Anong silbe nung T.V?" kinuha ko yung phone niya at binuksan yung account ko sa T.V.

"Hey!" angal niya.

"What?" I asked habang nakataas ang isang kilay.

"n-nothing"

manonood na nga ng 'To all the boys I've loved before' sa account ko, aangal pa. Di' pa naman ako nanonood ng ganyan, tch.

-

Nung second day, nothing much happened. We finished 'To all the boys I've loved before'. Then, we talked. I told her my story and she also told hers.

Her parents were both OFWs kaya naiwan siya kay Lola Marie. Zane was his neighbor and she was an only child. At school, she's a loner at si Zane lang yung kaibigan niya.

Jeez, I kinda felt sorry for her though.

At the end of the day, she returned my jacket kase nakalimutan niya kahapon. Siguro sinulit niya na yung pag amoy... hmm...

-next day-

"Hey, uhm, Mr. Klein?" tawag sakin ni Zane.

"kahit wala ng Mr. Make youself comfortable. Kahit nga pre nalang e" I said.

"Uhm, pre nalang e" he said at nagtawanan naman kami. Saya din naman pala kasama. Now I know why kaibigan to' ni Aeona.

"Ehem, okay seryoso na. Pre, let's go? kain na tayo? tutal last day na natin e, sulitin na natin kasama si Ci-- kasama yung mga girls" He continued. Napatingin naman ako sakanya dahil halatang may gusto kay Cindy. Tumango nalang ako as a response.

We went to the food area and sakto nakita namin si Cindy. I don't know kung coincidence ba 'to or planado na nila Cindy at Zane.

"Hey Cin, where's Aeona?" I asked.

"Why? Miss mo?" reply niya dahilan para samaan ko siya ng tingin.

"Oo na, papunta na yong soon to be misis m-- just kidding" she added.

Napakabagal talaga non kahit kailan.

Tatabi na sana ako kay Zane ng unahan ako ni Cindy sa upuan, harot talaga neto. When Aeona came, nagtingin-tingin muna siya sa paligid. Di' ko alam parang may hinahanap ba o ayaw ata akong makatabi. Nang matapos na siya, umupo na siya sa tabi ko then Zane greeted her. After Zane, Ako naman ang bumati. Di' pwedeng di' ako bumati sa prinses- nevermind.

"goodmorning chubby cheeks" I said while ruffling her soft hair. Parang di' siya nagsuklay pero ang cute padin.

"Morning" she replied while punching me weakly with a goofy smile plastered on her face.

Then Zane complained but that doesn't bothered me because there's this cute girl sitting beside me. Cindy said we should swim later and did that all hands on deck thingie.

Cindy's hand was on the buttom. Then, Zane's hand, then mine. We were waiting for Aeona.

"Hays, fine" she said then placed her soft hand on top of mine. I don't know why, but I can't stop myself from smiling because of her.

-

We were at the beach and were waiting for the girls. Grabe, tagal talaga pag babae.

Cindy came wearing her swimsuit already while Aeona... uhm, natakot ata sa sinabi ko na ako lang pwede.

Then!! Stupid Cindy here!! took off her clothes. I- I just removed my glasses while saying "wooh!" I can't help it. I really can't. Damn! She's stunning!

I noticed some boys were looking at her. So, I put on her T-shirt.

"Ayaw kong mabastos ka" I whispered at inakbayan siya.

Sorry boys, but she's m- ... she'll soon be mine.
