Chapter 14

R-18

"Guys! Saan kayo magcelebrate ng Christmas?"

Tanong ni Daniella while we were drinking our wines. Kakatapos lang naming kumain, I didn't ate a lot since I really need to punished myself for eating too much these past few days.

"Japan kami ng family ko." unang sumagot si Shane at nagkabit-balikat.

"Sana all! Ako uuwi sa bahay!" Sabi ni Kevin habang pinaglalaruan ang baso ng wine niya.

"Bahay lang din ako." Raze said before he sipped on his glass.

"Ako rin, sa bahay lang. E, ikaw danigirl? Saan kayong dalawa?" Tanong ni Dylan at tinuro si Daniella at si Clea.

"Well, Our family and Jason's family will going to celebrate Christmas together!" Clea said out of excitement. Hinawakan niya pa ang kamay ni Jason na naka patong sa lamesa.

I never really thought that Clea could be like this. I mean she's a woman who doesn't take things seriously. Laro lang sa kanya ang lahat. But looked at her now, she's fucking in love!

"E, kayong dalawa anong plano ni 'yo?" Tanong ni Daniella sa 'ming dalawa ni Shan. Nagkabit balikat lang kapatid ko. I felt insecured because they were so sure about their Christmas day like it's an obvious answer everytime someone asked.

Napatingin ako kay shan nang magsalita siya.

"Kanila tita Angel." She said without looking at me. I raised a brow, now my curiosity grow bigger and my eagerness to unviel her secrets are building up inside my head. Kailan pa sila naging close sa pamilya ni Attorney Diaz? Tita Angel, huh? Hindi ako nagsalita tungkol sa sinabi niya. Hangga't maari gusto kong umintindi. Gusto ko siyang intindihin, I want to believe that she has a reason kung bakit niya nagsekreto sa 'kin. Kung ano man 'yon alam kong may rason siya.

"Ikaw Sia? Saan ka ni 'yan?" I went back to may sense and looked away when my sister looked at me. Waiting for me to answer Kevin's question. I was about to answer him but asher did it for me.

"She will celebrate with my family." I thought he knew that I lost my mood to talk. He looked at me and smile before he drank his wine. He easily read me that much, that he even knew something was wrong with my quietness. I held his leg and rub it a little low-key thanking him. He held it and planted a soft kissed before he looked at our friends who's talking about something.

"We're going now, if that's okay?" I looked at him with widened eyes. Nakakahiya! Celebration ko pa naman ito para sa first successful fashion show ko tapos mauuna kaming umalis? Gosh!

"No, I'm still enjoyin---" I wasn't able to finished my sentence when he stood up and fixed his hair.

"Sige na, master Sia!" Natatawang sabi ni Raze. "Gusto ka na atang masolo ni bossing, e!" He teased.

"Kaya nga! Sige na umalis na kayong dalawa! Nahiya pa kayo!" Segunda kaagad ni Kevin habang may mapang-asar na ngisi sa labi. Ganon din si Jason na nakaupo sa tabi niya habang nakaakbay sa sandalan ng upuan ni Clea.

"Girl! Wag mo kalimutan gift ko!" Sabi niya pa at sumimsim sa baso niya. Tinatago ang ngisi.

"Alis na kayong dalawa! Shooo!"

"Let's go?" I stood up and bid my goodbye's and sorry's to them before Asher pulled me with him, arm draped around my waist. "Are you tired?" Asher asked heading our way to his condo.

"No, I'm not." I smiled at him. Every time we asked each other if we were tired or not, we always used of telling no. Maybe because having the presence of each other could ease the tiredness we felt the whole day.
