[b]Chapter 30[/b] “So I’m still going out with Kara?” Nagtinginan silang apat at ngumiti ng nakakairita sa harapan ko! “Of course, you will.” Mike said raising his brow “To regret in saying yes to that deal.” Rex said teasing! “As if naman hindi ka nagkagusto kay Kara!” sigaw ko kay Rex. “That was a ‘was’.” Keith saving Rex. Pinagtutulungan niyo ako! “Kayo pinagtutulungan niyo ako ha!” sigaw ko sa kanilang tatlo. “Here water to cool you off.” My brother said handing me a glass of water. I looked at the glass of water then poured it in my head. “Did you see the smoke?” Rex said teasing again! Grr, “I’ll go dry myself.” I said going out in the room. “Be handsome in your dinner date!” Keith said waving his hand. Then when I left I heard them all laughing. Aixt naman! Total humiliation ‘to! I entered my room and guide myself in my bed and grab some pizza. I took a bite of it. I better change my clothes, better get ready [i]1 hour later[/i] The three of them already left. Then someone entered my room. “Pormang porma ka ha?” si Paige. “Ah ganun ba?” I said emotionless. Oo, pumorma na ako, Levi’s na pantalon at unbuttoned na yellow polo. Porma nay an kapag si Kara kasama ko “May date kayo ni Kara?” tanong niya nanaman. “Pake mo ba! Hindi naman kita girlfriend para i-cross examine mo ha!” I shouted at her Man ansama ko! “Tsk. Oo na!” “Umalis ka nga dito! Pumunta ka na lang sa Rex mo!” Ah! Eto nanaman ung feeling na kinaiinisan ko! Stay away from me! “Pupunta talaga ako sa taong MAHAL AKO!” sinabi niya at umalis. Wala na akong panahon mag-drama, susunduin ko na si Kara. Nandito kami ni Kara sa isang exclusive restaurant. Well, wala ako sa isip pero si Kara salita ng salita! Wala akong naririnig. “Denver? Are you with me?” She said snapping me out of it. “Yea, of course.” I said with a smile. “I almost finish my food and still you didn’t touch yours.” she said with her worried look “Do you want mine?” Why did I just ask that? “Ew Denver! There is one word I learned from Philippines and that’s Jologs!” she said with a yuck look. [i]FLASHBACK[/i] It was their Biology Fieldtrip. We were eating lunch that time, sorry if I didn’t tell this part back then I know she is tired from walking and everything it’s pretty obvious by her face. “Hey! Are you going to finish that?” she asked me and of course for a boy hearing a boy to say that what will be your reaction? “Hah?” I said in shock. “Bingi ka ba? Sabi ko kakainin mo pa ba yang pagkain mo?” she again repeats. Natawa lang ako habang binibigay sa kanya pagkain ko. Imagine mo kaya. “Masaya ka na ba?” tumango lang siya habang kumakain [i]end of FLASHBACK[/i] I just smiled as I remembered how Jologs I was in that day and how Paige eat my dish. “Tsk.” I said smiling at my plate. “Why are you smiling?” Kara asked which makes me snapped out of my memories. “I’m not smiling.” I said simply as I take a sip of my drink. “Are you thinking of someone?” she asked while she is playing with her food. “Of course not!” I said denying. “It’s Paige.” she said simply in a low tone. I saw our manager of the band, saved! “Excuse me for a minute; I want to talk to our manager.” I said and stood up my sit. [u][i]Paige’s POV[/i][/u] Nakakainis si Denver! Sinusumpong nanaman siya Hindi ako pumunta sa taong mahal ako, pumunta ako sa park. Umupo na ako sa bench sa ilalim ng puno. “Kara! Walang hiya ka! Kung hindi ka sana pumasok sa bahay naming ni Denver, sana mabait pa rin sa akin un!” I shouted to the sky. Then I saw three girls murmuring about me. “You think she’s crazy?” Girl 1 asked. “Why? Didn’t you see a person talking to herself in public!” I shouted at them! Wrong timing kung mangasar! “She really is crazy.” Girl 2 said as they walked away laughing. “Sige! Tumawa lang kayo! Hindi niyo naman alam pinagdadaanan ko eh!” sabi ko na naiiyak na taposs may biglang lumapit sa akin na lalaking Pilipino. “Miss panyo?” sabi niya while offering me a hanky. “Thank you.” Nang mahawakan ko ung panyo may baril nakabalot! Malas ko talaga! “Akin na ung bag mo miss.” Aixt, ayoko pa pong mamatay. “Ah sige po eto po o. Enjoy po kayo sa bag ko!” I said with a fake smile at noong nakaalis na ung holddapper. “Favorite bag ko pa naman un Lord bakit anmalas ko ngayong araw na ito.” Tapos bigla namang umulan! Malas!!! “Lord naman e!” Hay buti na lang hindi nakuha cellphone ko. I quickly dialled Denver’s number. [i][u]Kara’s POV[/u][/i] Denver left his phone on top of our table. I take a look who was calling and it was Paige. I quickly put it off when I saw the name flashing. “I’m back.” he said smiling as he gets back in his seat. Then he took a glance of his phone. He really is expecting a call from her. Tsk. It’s pretty obvious he loves her. [u][i]Paige’s POV[/i][/u] Haixt naman Denver kung kailan kailangan kita ngayon ka naman di sumasagot. I dialled Rex’s number. “Please sumagot ka!” I said pleading to my own phone. “Hello?” Sa wakas!! “Rex! Pasundo nga ako. Nandito ako sa park.” “Sige papunta na ako.” Salamat! After waiting, sa wakas! “Lika na!” I saw Rex running towards me. “Anak ng teteng naman o! Pumunta ka ditto wala kang payong?” sabi ko sa kanya. “Nagmamadali ako eh!” sabi niya habang sinisilong ako sa jacket niya. “Gunggung ka talaga.” Napakamot siya sa ulo. “Pumasok ka na nga lang!” he said at pinasok ang ulo ko sa sasakyan niya. Nakarating na kami sa bahay niya. Basa kaming dalawa, pano? hindi nagdala ng payong! Pinag palit niya muna ako ng polo niya. Nasa dryer ung damit ko. [i][u]Denver’s POV[/u][/i] Umuwi na kami ni Kara, noong dumating ako sa bahay ang unang hinanap ko si Paige. Pero wala siya! Tinawagan ko si Rex. [quote]”Hello” “Rex? Nandyan ba si Paige?” “Oo” “Pauwiin mo na siya ditto.” “Bakit ka galit? Ikaw una niyang tinawagan tapos binabaan mo lang siya, ngayon nagagalit ka?” “Ano!!?”[/quote] Binabaan niya ako. Nakakainis! Hindi naman siya tumawag ha! Pumunta ako sa bahay ampunan. “Am Sister Kate, can I speak to the girl whom I give my Teddy Bear?” “She is right there.” she said pointing to the girl with Krei. “Thank you sister.” I said bowing my head. I approached the kid. “Hey! You’re Katherine, right?” I said smiling to the little girl. “Yes!” she said cheerfully. “Can I have the bear?” I said pleading. “No you already gave it to me.” she said putting the bear away from me. “Hey kid look! Krei is given to me, I just lend it to you!” I said losing my patience. “But..” “No one can get Krei from me! Paige is mine!” “Wait, what is the real name of the bear, Paige or Krei?” [i][u]Paige’s POV[/u][/i] May kumakatok sa pinto ni Rex, grabe kung kumatok parang mamatay! “Denver?!” I said shocked. He looked at us in disbelief. Ano ba kasi ang maiisip ng lalaki kung nakapolo ang babae ng polo ng lalaki? “It is not what you are thinking!” Rex said quickly. “Paige! Umuwi na tayo!” sabi niya sa akin habang hinahatak ako. “Den ano ba! Nasasaktan si Paige!” sigaw ni Rex kay Den. Binitawan ako ni Denver. “Paige, uwi na tayo.” Denver said pleading. “Paige, you can stay here if you want to.” Rex said. “Um Sorry Rex pero I got to go home with Denver, I’m tito’s responsibility at ayoko namng pagaalahanin siya.” Tumango lang si Rex. Lumabas na kami ni Denver, bubukasan sana ako ng pintuan ng kotse pero dumiretso ako sa parahan ng taxi. “Paige! Sumakay ka na!” sigaw niya sa harap ko. “Tsk, Ayoko nga!” “Sorry na! kung gusto mo luluhodd ako ditto eh.” jackpot! “Sige nga.” I said daring him. “E ano....” “Sige maiwan na kita.” sabi ko na papalakad na palayo. “O eto na luluhod na.” Nag beend lang ung mga paa niya. “O ano yan? Nag jejebz ka ba?” tanong ko na tumatawa. “Paige naman eh.” “Luhod na!” lumuhod na tapos tumawa na ako. Pumasok na ako sa kotse and he did too na pinupunasan pa ung tuhod niya. Ang arte “Ui! si Krei!” sabi ko kasi nandun siya sa passenger seat. [b][i]”Mahabang storya!”[/i][/b] [quote]I think alam niyo na kung anong nangyari kay Denver at sa bata [/quote]
