[align=center][quote][b]mYjOon14.[/b] thanks sis! [b]EVERYONE.[/b] [/quote] _____________________________________________________________[/align] [align=center][b]Chapter 18[/b][/align] �Is that his GF, baby?�, Tan-tan asked. �Yeah�, walang ganang sagot ko. �Gosh! She�s indeed a beauty!�, he exclaimed. I glared at him. �Opps! Of course, you, my baby, are also a beauty. No questions asked but medyo lamang lang siya ng 1 month na paligo?�, he said then winked. �Ahh, ganun?�, I said tapos pinagpapalo siya. [i]Okay. So, ganun na lang? Dumating siya then, everyones� attentions had all drawn to her? Like she�s a top celebrity? Oh come on![/i] [i]Hindi ka naman bitter niyan teh?[/i], a part of me said. [i]Ako? Bitter? Haler! No way.. oh well, fine! Pero slight lang, amin ko.[/i] I sighed. Grabe naman kasi eh. Right after Xander introduce Zenille to everyone, na-stop muna saglit yung ginagawa and all got busy entertaining the woman. Most especially HIM. Parang hindi niya man lang maiwan saglit. It�s like just having a centimetre away from her could kill him. His eyes never left her too. The way he looked at her tells how deeply he�s in love. Kulang na lang din mapunit yung pisnge niya kakangiti. He seems so full of joy just having her with him. Biglang may kumirot sa isang bahagi ng dibdib ko. [i]Okay. So, what does that mean? That pain?, tanong ko sa sarili ko.[/i] �Are you okay, Cass?� Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. [i]Alex.[/i] �H-Huh? Y-yeah. Of course, bakit?�, uutal-utal kong tanong. He sat beside me and held my face. Namula naman ako. �B-Bakit, Best? M-May dumi ba mukha ko?� [i]Gosh! Ano ba �to?[/i] He sighed tapos binitawan na ako. �Nothing. You seemed like you wanted to cry a while ago. Do you?� Nagulat ako. [i]Mukha bang iiyak ako?[/i] �Best..� �A-Ahhmm. Of course not. Bakit naman ako iiyak? What would be the reason?�, sabi ko sabay ayos sa mukha ko. He looked at me. �Hey. I know what you mean. I don�t care, really. That�s his personal life and I don�t have the reason to feel something like jealousy or even pain�, sabi ko. He sighed. �Okay. Sabi mo eh� �Aba, puro ka buntong-hininga ah? Ikaw, ayos ka lang ba?�, pag-iiba ko ng topic. �A bit tired� �Mukhang super haggard ka nga eh. Ano bang pinag-gagawa mo ah?� �Thinking?� �Of what?� Natigilan siya. Hindi siya sumagot, tumingin lang siya sa akin na parang may gustong sabihin but it feels like he�s scared. �Alex?�, tanong ko ule. Pumikit siya at umiling. �Nothing�, then smiled. �Sure?� �Yeah! Hey! Is it okay kung we�ll have dinner later? Since, aalis kayo tomorrow morning?� �Of course, why not? Ayos naman na yung mga gamit ko eh. I have all the time�, I said then winked. �Great! So, you�ll be riding at my car later, �kay?� �Ikaw bahala�, I said then smiled. He kissed me in the cheeks and went on his way. Bumalik yung tingin ko sa direction nila Xander. Nothing�s changed. They�re still busy keeping Zenille happy and everything. Xander? Ayun, showing everybody how lucky and happy he is with his GF. I sighed. [b]Alex�s POV[/b] �That�s it! So, maybe around 10pm andyan na kami and I want everything to be perfect, okay?.. Yeah, thanks�, I said then hung up. �Ngayon na ba pare?�, Tristan asked. �Yup!� �Well, good luck!� �Thanks pare� Okay, so everything fine now. Yung mangyayare na lang mamaya. Oh God! Help me..
