What happened to us?

Chapter 6

Eli's POV

"Kuya!" Rinig kong bati ni Sandra, napairap nalang ako I can sense her playful tone tss.

"Dad want's us to go home for dinner, I can't contact you that's why I went here." Rinig kong sabi ni Renz, patuloy padin ako sa pag tingin nitong gown habang nakatalikod sakanila.

"Ohh then Eli should come with us! Right Eli?" Napapikit ako ng mariin at humarap sakanila. I met his eyes as soon as I faced them, I flashed a smile to avoid being awkward.

"No it's fine Sandra besides it's your family dinner, I can just go home now." Sabi ko at ngumiti nawala lamang iyo ng makita kong ngumisi ang baliw kong bestfriend.

"Come on Eli! Dad and Mom want's to see you too, it's been years simula nung umalis ka for sure miss ka na din nun." Sabi niya at ngumisi, why is this girl so! Ugh!

"Uhh." sabi ko ng hindi ko na alam ang isasagot ko.

"Sige na kuya mauna ka na we'll go before dinner." Sabi ni  Sandra habang tinutulak siya palabas ng botique, nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag duon.

Fuck! Pumasok si Sandra ng may ngiti sa labi inirapan ko nalang siya dahil duon.

"Come on Eli! Pano ka makaka move on kung patuloy kang tumatakbo sa problema mo just for once can't you face it?" She said.

"Fine! I'll come." I said giving up.

"That's great let's go to your condo hahanapan kita ng masusuot mo." Sabi niya sabay higit sakin.

"I'm a model Sandra just to remind you." I said and she just chuckled.

Pumasok na kami sa kotse ko at nag drive na ako papuntang condo, ng makarating na kami sa unit ko agad siyang pumunta sa walk in closet ko.

"It's just a family dinner Sandra no need to be too formal." I said.

Inilabas niya ang isang two piece black dress, it's top is too classy because it's filled with diamonds it's skirt is below the knee that makes it too formal.

"You should wear this! It's nice!" Sabi niya.

"It's just family dinner Sandra that's too formal." I said.

Kinuha ko ang isang champagne ruched bodycon dress, this will do I think? I'll just put some silver accessories to make it more elegant and a stilettos matching with my chanel chain bag.

Pinakita ko sakaniya iyon and she agree with my taste it's too early to prepare kaya tumambay muna kami  sa salas at nanood ng movies. When it's already 4:30 pm nag ayos na agad ako, 6pm daw ang dinner.

Ng matapos na ako sa pag aayos agad na kaming umalis. Why am I so nervous? Ghad it's just tito and tita.

Ng makarating na kami sa kanilang mansion parang gusto ko nang mag back out. Nakita kong bumaba na ng kotse si Sandra at inaantay niya nalang ako na maka baba.

I let out a deep breath, you can do this Eli! I cheered myself before going out. Hinawakan ako ni Sandra sa kamay ko at bumulong.

"Nervous huh?" Sabay ngisi kaya inirapan ko lang siya.

Ng maka pasok na kami sa loob andun na ang mom and dad niya and of course Renz, I don't know kung dapat bang andito ako or what.

"Mom! Dad! I brought Eli!" Salubong niya sa parents niya at hinigit ako.

Muntik na akong matapilok dahil sa higit niya but I manage to balanced myself ghad why is she so clumsy?!

"Eli" bati ni Tito.

"Good evening po Tito and Tita." Sabi ko and I went to them para makapag mano.

We sat down si Tito ang nasa kabisera sa kaliwa niya ay si tita na katabi si Renz sa kanan naman ay si Sandra at ako. Kaya ngayon kami ni Renz ang magkaharap fuck, I caught him  tracing my body why? Is there something wrong with my clothes? It's not that revealing naman but it shaped my body well that makes it more sexier.

Napalunok ako dahil duon ghad I should've worn better!

"I'm glad you're back Eli! I'm sure your dad is happy because you're finally here. How's modeling? I heared you're doing good." Panimula ni tito.

"It's fine Tito, but if you need my help in the company I can help naman po." I said.

"Oh so I guess you're staying here for good?"

"A month or more po still undecided."

"How about your work?"

"My manager told me that they have a branch here in Manila, I'll just send my portfolio so I can start working here po." I explained.

"That's good! You should stay here for good Eli you've been away for so long na mimiss ka nga nitong si Sandra." Sabi ni tita sabay tawa.

"Of course mom! And for sure hindi lang ako ang nakakamiss sakaniya right kuya?" Sandra said in a playful tone, kinalabit ko nalang siya dahil don tss napaka lakas talaga ng tama nitong babaeng to.

Tumikhim lang si Renz at nagsimula ng kumain, tito let out an awkward laugh pero kalaunan ay naka bawi din. They talked about business while me listening to them. After dinner inaya ako ni Sandra na tumambay sa salas para manood, nagulat nalang ako ng maya mayang umupo si Renz sa isang single sofa malapit saamin.

Tinignan ko ang wristwatch ko at ng makitang 9:30 pm na pala napagdesisyunan ko nang umalis.

"Sandra it's late I should go home now, thanks for the dinner. Mukang nasa taas na sila Tito please send my gratitude to them, I have to go now." I said at bumeso sakaniya.

"Oh you're going home? Alright let me lead you outside." Sabi niya at tumayo na kami nakita kong napatingin si Renz sa pag tayo namin na naka kunot ang noo pero binalewala ko nalang yon.

"Drive safely Eli." Sabi ni Sandra ng makarating na kami sa labas.

Tinanguan ko lang siya at pumasok na sa aking BMW coupe, sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa backrest. And I started the engine at nag drive na, pagkadating ko ng condo I just parked my car at the basement at bumaba na.

Nakita kong kakababa lang din ni Renz from his car, magkasunod pala kami? Hindi ko napansin. Pinindot ko ang elevator dito sa basement at inantay na mag bukas iyon, pumasok ako at pumasok din si Renz sa loob. We're both quiet the whole time, ok na din yun dahil pagod nadin ako. Ng mag bukas ang pinto ng nasa 30th floor na kami ay sabay kaming lumabas nag lakad ako papuntang unit ko at nakitang nakasunod siya, maybe ito din yung way papuntang unit niya.

Ng nasa tapat na ako ay agad ko iyong binuksan at pumasok, bago ko pa masarado narinig ko ang sinabi niya na halos pabulong na.

"Goodnight Eli."
