It’s been half an hour since we entered Kir. It was already dark. Hapon na rin nang makaalis kami sa bahay nina Spencer ngunit ang talagang dahilan kung bakit ginabi na kami ay dahil kay Cara. That woman doesn’t know when to shut her fucking mouth.
Halos dalawang oras niya tinatalak na hindi raw siya takot sa akin dahilan upang tumanga kami sa kalsada.
We were lucky enough that there aren’t any Bozos nearby, or else we are dead.
The wonderful smell of Chi’s cooking was heaven sent. Pakiramdam ko’y sobrang buti kong tao upang makatanggap ng ganitong kasarap na biyaya.
“Aren’t cheerleaders supposed to be on a diet?” Parker asked jokingly. I rolled my eyes at him and continued to get the rice.
“Eww. You’re getting fat, Amira,” Cara commented.
Spencer suddenly raised his brow and inspected my body, “My mommy is not getting fat. Right, daddy?” He said. I almost choke kahit na wala pa akong kinakain. Kingina nito ni Spencer.
Nangasim ang mukha ni Cara dahilan upang tingnan niya ako ng masama. Parker’s eyes suddenly glimmered, and then he smirked, “Mommy is not getting fat. At kahit na maging pigmalone pa ‘yan, she’s still the best cheerleader,” Parker teased.
Ang mga mapangasar na tingin ng dalawang tanga ay hindi nakakatuwa. It was pretty funny when are only three, but now that Chi is here— it is not. Nakakailang ang mga biruan namin noon. Ayoko pa naman na mag-isip siya na may relasyon kami ni Parker kahit wala naman talaga.
I mean, we are on the apocalypse. Why would I pick to flirt when my life is at stake?
“May apat na higaan lang na available,” Nerdy said. I was distracted by his thick glasses that were sliding down, and he’s going to push it up, and again it will slide down.
“Tabi kami ni Parker—”
“Ayoko,” Spencer cut Cara’s sentence. Nagsukatan sila ng mga tingin hanggang sa umirap si Spencer at tumingin kay Parker.
Ang labi ni Parker ay dahan-dahan na nagkubra ng ngiwi, “Gusto mo akong katabi?” He asked.
“Eww. No, tabi kayo ni Mommy,” Spencer said. I glared at him. Pero hindi niya iyon pinansin. How can he decide on his own? Hindi man lamang ako tinanong kung gusto ko ba o hindi.
“Tatabi ako kay Chi,” I stated.
“No, silang magkapatid ang magkatabi,”
“Spencer,”
“Mga alipin ko kayo, remember?”
I was about to speak when Parker covered my mouth. Chi gently walked to where the light was and simply switched it off, and the faint light coming from the moon outside is the only thing that can make us see each other.
“Sleep,” Chi whispered.
Nakita ko kung paano nag unahan sina Spencer at Tyler sa bottom and upper deck sa left side. Gusto kong sumigaw at isumpa ang bawat isang nandito. My eyes drifted towards Cara, who was intently looking at me, and when she saw me looking at her, she suddenly smirked and rolled her eyes. And together with Chi, they went to the upper bed deck, which left Parker and me with no other choice.
I heaved a sigh and went to the lower bed deck, pumwesto ako sa tabi ng bintana saka niyakap ang hotdog pillow ko at tumalikod sa pwesto ni Parker. I was about close my eyes when I heard a faint sound coming from Parker.
Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ko nang makita ko ang pinapanood niya, “Don’t watch that!” I hissed.
“No,”
