Never Have Love At All (Las Mujeres Fuertes Series #1)

CHAPTER 16

"Are you mad?"

I unclasped my seatbelt before I shook my head. Hindi naman ako galit pero parang hindi siya naniniwala. Oo, nabigla ako pero at some point naiintindihan ko naman. Aza seems scared because of what he did. He actually kissed me... On my lips. Sa lips! And, oh my gosh, my first kiss got stolen at the age of 20. Ayos lang naman iyon, hindi ba? I like him and like what he is saying he loves me. There's nothing wrong about the kiss naman siguro besides it was more likely a peck lang! Hindi naman ako na-vacuum! O, hindi pa lang? Paano nga ba humalik si Aza?

"What? Paano ako humalik?" He asked, brows furrowed.

Ha? Did I said that out loud?!

"Uhm, no. I... I didn't say that." I denied, shaking my head.

"You said that, babe," he said and pouted his lips. "I'm sorry if I cross the line. I promised not to do things you didn't want. Hindi ko lang napigilan."

"Ayos lang naman..."

Napahalakhak siya. "Edi pahalik ulit."

"Baliw!" I exclaimed. "Umuwi ka na nga! I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll pick you up. I love you. Good night, babe." He said, planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Good night, Aza."

My face is heating up upon I entered our house. Alam na alam talaga ni Aza kung paano ako aasarin! Well, effective naman kung akala niya ay hindi!

It's already 1 AM in the morning and our house is completely quiet. I get my keys inside my bag and went inside silently. I made sure that I locked the doors before I went to my room. Hindi na ako pinagbihis ni Aza at inuwi ko na lamang ang uniform ko. When I'm done for my night care routine, I immediately fell asleep, wearing Aza's clothes as if he is hugging me.

Morning came and I have to get up early. Alas sais pa lang ay gising na ako para tapusin ang ilang papers para sa isang subject. I need to finish it before I went out. Of course, mas importante parin ang studies kaysa sa pagharot! I stayed in our lanai while doing it. Ang mga kasama naman sa bahay ay pare-parehong naghahanda para sa kanilang mga pasok.

"Morning," Ryle said and sit next to me.

I smiled. "Yeah, good morning."

I continued typing on my laptop while Ryle excused himself. Pagbalik niya ay may dala na siyang milk at bread, hindi na kasi ako sumabay sa kanila para mag-breakfast. He eyed me and pointed out the food he brought for me. Ngumuso ako at napatingin sa kasunod niyang si Vern. He's getting taller and taller na parang anytime magiging magkasing-tangkad na kami. And as he get older, his looks started to show off. Hawig sila ni Ryle ngunit may ibang sides din na nakuha niya kay Daddy. At may crush na nga raw siya e! Her name is Chicago and Vern asked me to keep it as a secret.

Well, I do... Of course. I was actually suprised when he told me about it. He didn't get shy instead he proudly say na may crush na siya! Well, it's not bad though. Hindi pa naman siya mag-g-girlfriend! He's too young!

"I'm going now, Ate," he said and kissed me. "See you later!"

"Take care. I love you!"

Nagpaalam din sa akin si Daddy and Tita Beth bago sila umalis. Hindi nga rin ako nakaiwas sa bilin ni Daddy na umuwi ako ng mas maaga ngayon.

"Umuwi nang maaga, Tallinn. Hindi umaga." Bilin ni Daddy.

Aza and I are going out today to meet Kirk and Aldrin. He agreed since wala rin naman siyang gagawin and balak din talaga naming lumabas. Lunch iyon at gagawan lang ng paraan nila Kirk dahil may pasok sila sa trabaho. Ryle doesn't know that his friends are literally fanboying over Aza. Hindi na kasi pwede si Aza during weekends since malapit na talaga ang race niya.
