Chapter 15

SVEN's POV

              'Nak ng teteng di ako sanay na pinagtitigan ako ng mga tao lalo na't kada lakad namin ni ate Cassie, na akala ko sa una sya ang pinagtitinginan, papunta sa parking area laging may nagpapakilala.

And speaking of Cassie hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip nya at bigla-bigla na lang akong bibigyan ng isang peck sa labi at sa harap ba naman ng sales lady na kasama namin?! 😱

Di ko masakyan trip nya lalo na't di nya yon ginawa dati! But it's ok kapatid ko naman sya and that kiss doesn't count after all she's a family.

Nahawa na ako sa kaka-english pero kung iisipin balik dati naman kasi salitang kano naman ang pananalita ko before I started to go after what I want.

Ngayon nandito ako sa harap ng address na binigay ni Isabelle di ko maiwasang mailang.

Nasa loob ako ng elevator at kita ko ang reflection ko through the glass... at masasabi kong...

Hindi ako to! This is so not me!

Mukha akong isang...

"You look handsome baby..."

Handsome? Handsamin nya mukha nya! 😡 Kaya nga ako napagkakamalang lalaki, eh! Baka mapagkamalan pa ako nito ni Isa na si Michael ako.

Huhuhu... 😭 tama na ang karanasang natamo ko for these past few weeks at lalong ayaw kong isipin ni Isa na...

Haist... sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa kaka-isip ng kung anu-ano sa utak ko! Lalo na sa tingin ko di kami nagkakaintindihan ni ate kanina.

For some odd reason she thought mayroon akong date which is true but a friendly date nothing more, at alam ko alam nyo ang ibig kong ipahiwatig.

"Hi, balak mo bang tumayo lang jan?" Nakangiting sabi sa akin ni Isabelle.

Napatingin lang ako sa kanya. Di pa ako nakapagdoor bell how come nandito sya sa harap ko?

"Huh?" Gusto kong tampalin ang sarili ko sa sagot ko sa kanya.

"I see... someone seems excited to be my date, you're way to early di halata, ha... 1 hour before 8 to be exact." She winked at me as she said that.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa narinig at napatingin sa relo ko. Without thinking I face palm myself in front of her.

"Oh my is that for me?"

Huh?

"That rose... is that for me?"

Uh... natandaan kong may hawak pala akong rosas. A single rose to be exact and a red one at that.

"Um... yes, for you."

"Heh... if I didn't know any better I'd think this is not friendly date na."

"Hahaha... Cassie insisted na ibigay ko 'to sayo because you're my girl friend daw at idi-date pa naman daw kita." Pagpapaliwanag ko sa kanya. "I don't know why though. But it's true na may friendly date tayo and you, Isabelle, is my friend."

Hindi ko alam kung namalik mata lang ba ako o hindi pero parang kinilabutan ako sa kanya ng tingnan ko sya sa mata. Nothing ia out of place naman baka talagang namalik mata lang ako.

"Um... sorry if napaaga ako si ate kasi eh... bawal daw akong magpakalate pero mukhang subra naman akong napaaga dito." 😳 nahihiyang sabi ko.

"Nah... it's ok I don't mind... if only you didn't blow-up my daydream!"

"Hm? Ano yon? Di ko narinig yong sa huli."

"Haha... sabi ko pasok ka na."

Tumabi sya sa may para papasukin ako sa loob ng condo nya.

"Um... may hinihintay ka ba?" Biglang kong natandaan ang biglang pagbukas nya ng pinto at nagtatakang nakita ako.

"Hmm? Wala naman I'm about to get something sa baba. May ipinadeliver kasi dito galing sa hospital but this condominium's management is very strict so the person can't come up here di kasi naka-register sa name list na pwede makapasok dito."

Nagtaka ako sa paliwanag nya because I am not registered here to be allowed to enter.

"I listed your name if how you're able to come up here."

"Oh... um, you sure na di ka talaga busy o wala kang lakad ngayon?"

Nginitian lang nya ako bilang tugon sa tanong ko.

"Wala, didn't I already told you that earlier sa clinic? And make yourself at home puntahan ko lang yong ideniliver na papers from FMH."

Tumango na lang ako sa kanya at ngumiti bago sya lumabas.

ISABELLE's POV

            I really want to strangle at ipag-uuntog ang ulo ni Sven kanina. Ipamukha ba sa akin na nagdi-delussion lang na naman ako? Did she really have to say those words to remind me that she only thinks of me as a friend? Ok na sana ng sabihin nyang girl friend nya raw ako at we have a date tonight but there is a space in the word girl friend and it's not a date but a friendly date! 😖 😫

This is frustrating me! But kailangan ko ng mahabang pasinsya and need kong i-enjoy ang date ko ngayon kay Sven.

Wag mo kalimutan friendly date lang di romantic date!

It's still a date and a date is date!

Nakuha ko na ang ang papers na ipinadala ni Maria. Oh, I lied kay Samañiego I should be busy by now sa hospital, but for her I made an excuse makasama ko lang sya, as I have some paper works to look at but pwede ko naman ipagpaliban at Maria is there to help me.

I still have 45 minutes to prepare light make up will do para di halatang nagpapa-impress ako.

Pagpasok ko di nakita si Sven sa may sofa kung saan ko sya iniwan but on other side nakatayo at pinagmamasdan ang mga pictures don.

I need to match her outfit, it's a good thing she is earlier than intended time, for us to look like a couple that are going on a date.

I intend to claim her and I want to make her fall in love with me. Alam ko maraming magsasabi na masyadong maaga to be in a relationship with Sven lalo na't di kami masyadong magkakilala and we always at each others lungs kung mag-asaran at mag-away.

But when Noreen came into the picture I suddenly felt possessive towards Sven. I don't want to share her to anyone aside for her family and I did not felt this way kay Michael.

You must be confused towards your feelings kay Sven dahil sya lang ang napaglaanan mo ng oras when you-

"Isabelle ok ka lang? Is something wrong? O baka pagod ka? We can cancel our-"

"Nah... you're just look gorgeous tonight, it suits you well." I complimented her instead and winked at her.

Your flirting!

So?

She blushed but it was her ears that are blushing and she looks so cute right now yet she is attractively hot that turns me on!

I never have felt this kay Michael and will kill anyone (women/bitches) who approaches Sven. And if Sven is in Michael's situation I'd do anthing na di makakalapit si Noreen sa kanya at we'll get married in other country para wala ng sagabal.

Kasal na agad?

Just making a point that is how possessive I am kay Sven!

Malala ka na.

"Wait for me for... 20? And we'll be out in a sec."

"O-ok, t-take your t-time."

I should dress up seductively I change my mind to take it slowly baka maagaw pa ito sa akin and for her to know I am attracted to her.
