Smith Series 1: His Villainess

Chapter 8

'Push carts.' -sabi ni Prima ng agad silang makapasok sa grocery store. Tig-isa sila ng push cart ngunit kahit ganoon ay hindi naman humiwalay sa kanya si Prima.

'Dry goods before we go to the meat section.' -instruct nito kay Clay na tila walang alam sa pamimili.

'Tomato juice. Fresh milk. Nutella. Strawberry jam. Honey. Butter. Vanilla. Sesame oil. Vegetable oil...blah...blah...blah...' -sabi nito tsaka panay ang lagay nito sa push cart ng binata.

'You're good to go. Meet you at the meat section. And oh. Buy some fruits. I want kiwi, lemon, peaches and others.' -sabi nito at nagwave pa sa binata. Pero bago pa man makaalis ito agad na humarang sa kaniya ang binata.

'And where are you going?' -tanong naman nito.

'I will pick my own necessities. Come on, it will only take ten minutes. Don't miss me too much and if you do I'll just be at section 9. See? three section away. be there if you want.' -she playfully said and kiss him on his cheek before she walked out with a wink.

She was busy picking her toothbrush when someone bumped into her. She was ready to scold that someone only to find out it was one of the twin.

'Look where you are going, savage twin.' -sabi niya rito na nagulat pa ng makita siya.

'What are you doing here?' -tanong naman nito sa kanya.

'I am throwing some garbage.' -she sarcastically answered as she avoid him.

'Uhuh?.' -sabi lang nito at sumunod sa kanya. Natapos na niyang kunin lahat ng kailangan kaya naman nagtungo na siya sa lugar ni Clay.

'Stop, following me. My boyfriend is a jealous type.' -masungit niyang turan rito na hindi naman nakinig sa kanya.

'I don't care.' -sagot lang nito na bumuntot pa rin sa kaniya. Nang makarating sila sa section 8 nakita niya ang nakatalikod na si Clay. Patakbo niya itong nilapitan at niyakap mula sa likod tsaka nagsumbong.

'Love, he won't stop tailing me. He's a stalker.' -pagsusumbong niya na ikinatigil naman ni Clay sa kanyang ginagawa.

'Love, shoo him away.' -pamimilit pa niya rito tsaka sumiksik sa pagitan ng braso nito at ng push cart para yumakap rito. Si Clay naman ay tila nakabawi sa pagkabigla at hinawakan ang bewang niya saka marahas na tumingin sa tinutukoy ni Prima.

Euro and Clay was shocked to face each other. Pero unang nakabawi si Clay sa pagkabigla tsaka agad na nawalan ng emosyon ang kaniyang mukha.

'What is she talking about Euro?.' -malamig na tanong ni Clay kay Euro na tila natulos sa kinatatayuan niya.

'You are her boyfriend?' -tanong naman ni Won na bagong dating na nasa likod ni Euro.

'What? She also tell you that she has a boyfriend?' -tanong naman ni Euro sa kambal.

'Yes. Nakasalubong ko siya kanina sa may section 7. I asked her why she is here, and sarcastically told me that she was throwing garbage with her boyfriend.' -sagot naman ni Won sa tanong ng kakambal.

'So, what now Clay?' -tanong ni Euro sa walang emosyon na si Clay.

'Pay this and deliver it on his condo. We'll answer you there.' -she said and pulled Clay wrist as they escaped the twins.

They were on the escalator when she burst out laughing.

'Did you saw their faces?' -tanong niya sa walang emosyong si Clay habang siya naman ay maluha-luhang tumawa.

'It wasn't funny.' -sagot ni Clay sa kanya na ikinatigil naman niya sa pagtawa saka nagpout.

'You really are no fun. Not a boyfriend material. But since we are on a dating and live-in stage we can change that.' -positibo nitong sagot tsaka ikinawit ang braso nito sa braso ni Clay.
