'Til I Fall For You

Chapter EIGHT

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Sit beside me JB." sabi ko kay JB nang makarating kami sa dining table. Nasa gitna si Dad. Katapat ko naman si Mom. Manang Lety sitted beside my Mom instead of me.

"Anong sabi ng Mom mo JB?" nakangiting tanong ni Mom. Tinawagan kasi ni JB kanina si Tita Hazelle. Ang driver naman nila ay umalis muna, may aasikasuhin lang daw. Babalikan na lang siya para sunduin mamaya after dinner.

"Okey lang naman daw po. Huwag lang daw po sanang magpapagabi masyado."

"Ofcourse! Don't worry hijo."

Manang Lety cooked my Dad's favorite, ginataang kalabasa and sitaw with shrimp. She also cooked fried fish. While Dad ordered a cake. The thought of Dad buying a cake for tonight's unexpected dinner with JB made me smile. It's very unusual for him to do that!

Dad and Mom keep on asking JB about some of his personal informations like where did he came from, his Mom and Dad's jobs, his achievements in school and interests. Something like that.

And because of that, I realized something, na sa mahigit pitong buwan naming pagkakakilala, hindi ko pa pala siya ganoon lubusang nakikilala. Like yes, I can say that as time passes by, we're getting closer. Pero ngayon ko lang nalaman yung ibang bagay sa kaniya like he loves playing basketball and online games. Yung mga ganoong simpleng bagay. Pero bakit hindi halata sa kaniya? Feeling ko kasi puro aral lang rin siya!

"How about your dream job JB?" I asked him. He already knew mine. I dreamt of being a teacher when I was young but when I reached highschool, my mind changed. What I want now is to be a flight attendant someday. I want to travel and explore the world!
"Hmm. I want to be like my Dad. Engineer." he simply said. He sounded like he idolized his father!

"Looking forward for that time to come." Dad smiled to him.

We finished our dinner before 8PM. I'm glad that Dad and Mom didn't do anything that made me or JB uncomfortable.

"Tita, Tito, thank you for the dinner." nakangiting ani JB nang palabas na kami ng gate. Naghihintay na ang kaniyang driver.

"You're always welcome hijo." ani Mom. "You can come here anytime you want."

Sinulyapan ko si Dad, checking his reaction. He just smile. He's not against with what my Mom said, huh?

"Crissa, thank you. See you tomorrow!"

"Ingat JB! Kuya salamat po. Bye!" kumaway ako sa kanila hanggang sa pinaandar na ng driver ang sasakyan.

Umakyat na ako ng kwarto ko para magbihis. Hindi pa rin ako nakakapagpalit ng uniform ko, kaloka! Well, pareho lang naman kami ni JB. Pagkatapos ko magshower ay pinakain ko na si Blossom, nadelay lang. Pinaliguan ko na rin siya. Nahiga siya sa bed ko. So cute!

Naisipan kong mag-online sa Facebook. Check messages and notifications. Natambakan na ko. Ilang araw din akong hindi nakapagsocmed. Habang nagiiscroll ako sa newsfeed ko ay nakita ko ang bagong update status ni JB. 2 minutes ago.

Jann Brix Diaz: I didn't expect it. Somehow I felt relieved. They must be strict but they are so kind. I had a great night with them!

Bigla na lang akong napangiti sa post niyang 'yon. I know what he's talking about...our unexpected dinner earlier!

I saw our friends' comments. Nangunguna pa si Jhenine. Active huh?

Jhenine Couline Montes: OMYGHAD! ALAM NA THIS. HAPPY FOR YOU! :)

What does she meant? Alam na this? Hmm. Makacapslock pa wagas!

I saw my cousin's reply to Jhenine's comment. Curiousity kills!
