"Are we okay?" Nag-aalala ang mukha niya.
I smiled and nodded slowly. He sighed and hold my hand tightly. He rested his head on the chair, he lifted his head as he closed his eyes. He looks relieved.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
I shook my head and chuckled softly. "No, I'm sorry."
He opened his eyes and glanced at me. I smiled as I examined his handsome face. "I'm sorry for being selfish. Ikaw kasi, nag-girlfriend ka nalang doon pa sa selosa."
We both chuckled. I rested my head too to the chair, we stayed silent. Pinapanood ang mga sasakyang unti-unting nababawasan. Napaahon ka-agad ako.
"Yung kotse ko!" Natatarantang sabi ko.
"I'll send someone who'll drive it to your house. Don't worry." He assured me.
"What about my friends? Wala silang masasakyan!"
He smiled. "Mavy will handle them. It's all in me, calm down."
Ngumuso ako, nagpipigil ng ngiti. I'm still immature I think, masyado din akong impulsive. What do I feel that I need to apologize to her? Am I too much?
"I feel a bit guilty." I whispered.
He glanced at me. "Why?"
I bit my lower lip. "I think, I'm harsh to her?"
He chuckled a bit and shook his head. Natigilan ako, anong ibig sabihin noon? Sumasangayon siya?
"You looked like a little devil earlier." He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and pouted. "It's not funny."
"She understand you for sure." He console me.
"I feel bad." I shook my head.
"It's okay. That's you when you got jealous." He chuckled.
Umirap ako at hindi na umimik. I'll try to think some peace offering to her. Hindi ako matatahimik kapag hindi ako nakakapag-sorry! I'd announced her feelings to everyone! Hindi iyon magandang pakinggan, pinangunahan ko siya. It's her ego as a woman at stake here.
He drove me home after that. I smiled while removing the seatbelt. I leaned on him to give him a quick kiss. He was a bit stunned after the kiss. I chuckled.
"Bye. Take care." I softly said.
He nodded. "I'll text you when I'm home."
"Sure."
Bumaba ako ng sasakyan at hinintay mawala sa paningin ko ang sasakyan niya. I sighed and started walking towards our house. Imbes na tumuloy sa kwarto, pinili kong pumunta sa kwarto ni Kuya. I smiled when I saw him on his working table, may suot na eyeglasses at seryosong nagbabasa ng mga papeles. He looked so serious, natawa ako ibang-iba kapag hindi siya nagtatrabaho! Ang layo sa pagiging kulokoy eh!
"Kuya.."
Humiga ka-agad ako sa kama niya. He glanced at me and raised a brow. Tinaggal niya ang eyeglasses at pinaikot ang swivel chair paharap saakin.
"May problema ba?" He asked worriedly.
Marahan akong tumawa at dumapa sa kama. "Hindi ah.."
He sighed and stood up. Nagpamaywang tumingin saakin. "Beer?"
"G!"
Kaya naman, we stayed to our balcony after he bring some beers. Yakap-yakap ko ang mga tuhod at nakatukod ang baba sa tuhod. I sighed and drank on my beer.
