Twitter Serye #1: Serendipity

Chapter 20

"Hindi naman ako na-orient na clown ka na pala ngayon?" Finally, the coffee has been served. He waited for the waiter to go back before talking to me again.

"Uy si Gabriella kinilig." I raised a brow and rolled my eyes at him. I'm not joking.

"Are you ma-"

"Am I making fun of you?" He finished the words I was about to say. "No. Why would I?" He added

I sipped on my coffee trying to calm myself, this guy really had the audacity to joke around. Is he really trying to lessen the awkwardness or he's just pissing me off? O baka naman he's trying to know if I still have feelings for him.

"Ms. Gabby, is that you?" Pareho kaming napalingon sa dalawang babaeng lumapit sa table namin.

I nodded at pilit na ngumiti. I gently massaged my head, Ethan's giving me a headache seriously. Kanina inaantok lang ako pero ngayon pakiramdam ko magkakasakit ako.

"Yeah." I said smiling at them, huwag naman sanang mukhang plastic ang ngiti ko, naiirita ako kay Ethan.

"Can we take pictures?"

"Yeah, sure," I said.

The two lady took a picture with me, Ethan was just looking at us. After that napansin nung isang girl si Ethan kaya nagpapicture din sila doon.

"Big time," Ethan said while smirking when the two ladies thank us and left.

"I didn't know na pinasok mo din ang modelling industry." I said after a moment of silence between us.

"How would you know? You like cutting ties." He said without looking at me.

"And you like telling lies." he looked at me surprised and raised his brow, he did not expect that coming.

I can feel the tension between us, tama bang sumama ako sa kanya dito? Hindi kaya imbes na mawala ang awkwardness namin sa isat-isa ay lalo lang lumala. I didn't mean to say that, it's just that I couldn't stop this mouth from telling the things that running on my mind.

"I mentioned before, Gusto ko talagang kinukuhaan ako ng Picture diba?"

I suddenly remember that we are in Korea during that time.

"I'm glad you did," I said with sincerity in my eyes.

"You really made a name, you are well-known and a lot of people admire you." He said in a low voice. I don't know if it's real or it is just me but I can feel him being proud of my accomplishment.

"You made a Company of your own," I said.

"Bakit? Hindi mo din alam kung bakit kami naghiwalay ng kuya mo?" and what he said ruined the mood.

"Can we stop talking about the past? I'm trying to get along with you because I don't have a choice so please cooperate."

"Ok, chill." He raised his two hands to assure me that he was not fighting back.

I finished drinking my coffee and decided to go. Baka kung saan pa mapunta ang usapan na 'to, magkakaproblema pa kaming dalawa bago ang photoshoot sa Harris.
