Moved
I blinked twice and swallowed hard. I felt like there's a big rocks inside my throat. He's too much na ha?
I pouted and sat on the couch. Hindi ko alam bakit gan'yan na lang niya ako tratuhin. Yes, He can say it.. na tinutulungan niya ako but is it hard for him to be careful to say those words? Like I have feelings too! I'm not numb.
How can I fell for that guy?!
How can I fell to the guy like him?!
He's too handsome and charismatic!
He's too mean and so now I'm problematic!
How I can hook his heart if in the first place bawal? He didn't let me in into his barrier...If he can't give me a chance for him to know more about me and even get to know him.
Gano'n ba talaga? That there is time that you will be rejected. You understand that rejection but you don't want to believe it because... it's so painful.
Kala ko pwede na.. maybe love does not provide pain, expectation can.
I just stood up and went into Chave's room. Maybe I must first take a rest?
I hope tomorrow pwede na.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto ang ginugol ko habang nakatulala. I overslept.
"Prinsesa! Gumising ka na! Aba mag-aalauna na ng hapon. You idiot!" Bulyaw sa'kin ni Chave bago ako hampasin ng unan.
Frustrated akong nagtalukbong ng kumot. Narinig ko pa ang malademonyo niyang tawa. He's the idiot! A stupid Idiot.
"Leave me alone, Chave. You stupid idiot!" I shouted.
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again but he removed the blanket that I holding on!
He chuckled "Wake up!" He clapped his hand. "Don't be a stubborn spoiled brat! You need to eat lunch! Bilisan mo! Kanina pa kita ginigising kung hindi ka pa hahampasin ng unan hindi ka pa magigising!" He complaint and turned his back.
I shouted some curses and he just laughed like he already use to hear those words coming from me. Nakakainis siya!
This is I hate the most! When someone wake me up. Like hello? Sa tulog na nga lang may peace guguluhin pa?
I really hate it! Damn you Chave Eliazar!
"Bwiset ka, Chave! You really a stupid idiot! How dare you to wake me up?! Nasa peace na ako tapos gigisingin mo ako?! I hate it! You really now that! I don't want anyone to disturb me from sleeping!" I histeracally shouted with all the frustration I have.
Padabog akong naglakad palabas habang bitbit ang unan. Like there's a bomb inside this pillow that I want to explode.
"I hate you,Chave! Don't wake me up again! Susumbong kita kay Daddy! I want to sleep more!" I throw the pillow to him.
He just chuckled and shook his head. Nakaupo siya sa sofa nang sinalo ang binato ko. Mayabang niyang tinaas ang kilay. Yeah.. he looked handsome. That's why we're cousin-- he's handsome and I'm gorgeous.
But.. he's an evil and I'm an angel.
He pouted "Don't act like that, Heart. Magen is looking at you like.." he smirked!
I frozed when I heard his name. Wait-- he's here? Omg? For real? But why? Like what the hell!? Did he hear what I said--shouted?
I heard his sexy chuckled, I swallowed hard, I don't know what to do. I even forgot how to move! I really frozed!
Napapikit ako, I felt his presence is now at my side. I can saw him through peripheral vision. How can this man.. his presence made me frozed.
"Oh! Damn shit! You just chuckled, Magen! Hindi na nakagalaw 'yung pinsan ko!" Chave proudly said. "Hoy, Heart! Gumalaw ka!" He laughed and grabbed my hand to seat beside him.
I glared at him, He just pouted like there's nothing we can do to remove the scene where I acted like a kid.
"Shut up, Chave. I need to go back to cafeteria before 2 pm. Why are you inviting me here? Alam mo naman na busy akong tao pero 'eto ikaw mukhang tanga na nang-iimbita," Magen frustrated said.
Napalunok ulit ako, I can't look at him. Did you know the feeling that you want to look at him but you can't? Like it looks like there's something that stopping you because your heart might pump so hard that you can't control.
Naramdaman ko pa ang titig ni Chave sa'kin. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin habang siya ay ngumiwi lang sa ginawa ko. He really like pissing me off eversince! Nakakainis na talaga siya.
Chave sniffed "I just want to invite you, Bro. Alam mo na.. may gusto 'to sa'yong pinsan ko and I want to boost her energy by seeing you," he playfully said.
I closed my eyes and fist, out of the frustration that my dear cousin showering me. He's really good in this!
"Shut the fuck up, Chave." I whispered with horror.
He pouted but.. parang lumabas lang sa kabilang tainga.
"Such a stupid reason, huh?" Magen huskily said and sat beside me.
Halos mapatalon ako sa ginawa niya. I even held Chave arm because of shocked. My heart fluttered and beat so damn hard. BIG.TIME.
Chave brows furrowed but his smile remained playful.
"I-I want to.. I want to eat.." I stammered whispered at my cousin.
He nodded "Then eat, Kakaluto ko lang nung corned beef," he said and pointed the dinning area using his index finger.
I raised my brows "Corned beef? What type of corned beef?"
I really don't like some corned beef except purefoods!
"Ofcourse, Purefoods. Ayaw ko na magluto ng kung ano. Kaya 'yun na lang, don't worry next time I'm going to cook adobo for you,"
I smiled and nodded, This is the part that I like about Chave. He's always pissing me off, teasing me and pressing the button of me but he cared for me.
I stood up properly, hindi ko parin nililingon si Magen. Pakiramdam ko kapag nilingon ko siya I can immediately kneel down and worship him.
"By the way, Did Hailey come here? I forgot my purse and I ask her to bring it here," I acted like there's no Magen inside this unit.
That my heart didn't pump so damn fast.
"She came here.." sabat ni Magen before sipping his coffee.
I want to shout at him because how dare him to sabat sa pinag-uusapan namin? Like isn't obvious na si Chave ang kausap ko? 'Yan tuloy my heart goes boom boom again!
I want to shout but my heart didn't para bang gusto magsalita ng puso ko at sabihing...
Dawn Magen tapakan mo ang pagkatao ko.
"Uh- Okay," I awkwardly said.
I started eating and didn't mind his presence. Pasimple ko pa sila na tinitingnan dahil nagkukwentuhan sila.
"Really? What do you expect at Lonch!" Magen laughed.
With his laughed, His eyes looks darker but there's something that its shine like it contain the universe. His smile is wider like he reached the top of the top.
I sighed and continued eating. Malapit siya sa'kin but why it looks like he's faraway? Parang ang hirap-hirap niyang abutin.
The minutes passed, Nagkukwentuhan pa rin sila. While me living like I'm a ghost they didn't intend to talk to me! Chave Eliziar!
"Hoy! Hugasan mo 'yan!" sita sa'kin ni Chave.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, Over my dead sexy body! I will never wash this dishes! No! If I wash this dishes my hands might be rough! No way!
"This is your unit then you're the one who is responsible in doing this.." I pointed the dishes.
His lips parted, Like I amaze him. Oh shut up, Chave. Even Magen is here I will not act like a saint! If I don't want then I really don't.
I rather to be love by who am I than to be love by who am I not.
He chuckled "Pero ikaw ang kumain!"
I rolled my eyes "Just shut up and wash it," I command and turned my back.
I heard a sexy chuckled and I where it belongs. Hindi na ako nag-abala pa na tumingin dahil baka kabahan na naman ako. His presence.. his intense gaze.. looks like he's showering me a dozen of voltage reason why I'm nervous.
"Damn you, Heart! Ilibre mo ako mamaya!" Chave shouted.
I rolled my eyes, Nagtalukbong na lang ako ng kumot. I sighed heavily. Hindi ko makalimutan 'yung sinabi ni Magen.
He really hate me huh?
I closed my eyes and slept. I slept with a heavy chest. Nakatulog ako bago tuluyan na tumulo ang luha ko na hindi ko alam saan biglang nagmula. Why did I suddenly cry?
I stayed here for a week in the unit of Chave. Even though he forced me to return to our home I didn't go. I wanted to stay here.
"Yes, Dad. Tell Mom that I will be staying here at Chave's unit or kukuha ako dito ng unit," I sweetly said.
I looked at Chave serious face, I shrugged and rolled my eyes.
"Baka naman ay wala ka d'yan sa unit ni Chave? Baka nasa iba mo ikaw na kaibigan nakastay ha! If you are going to stay there then pay for it. Sinasabi ko sa'yo Poe na ayaw kong nagsisinungaling ka. Oh, I will tell your Mom. Are you serious? I mean about the work thing that you are talking about?" My Dad panicked said.
I pouted, While staying here I have collected information. I found out that Magen was the owner of a cafeteria not far from here. That's amazing! He also had no girlfriend, Nung nalaman ko talaga 'to galing mismo sa pinsan ko.. sobrang saya. Magen had a brother whose name was Mint, like whoa wow, pangalan pa lang cool na can't wait to see him. Magen mom and dad were in Cavite. He was a friend of Rapha Lejano's owner in this hotel. Kahit pilitin ko pa si Chave na magkwento. He already zipped his mouth and pissed me off. Nambitin ang asshole kong pinsan.
Magen took a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and graduated with a magna cum laude awarded! Biglang nahiya ang award kong best in liptint--complete attendance!
I groaned "Dad, I'm not lying I already decided to work. Kilala naman namin ni Chave 'yung owner nung cafeteria na pag-aapply-yan ko and Dad.. I'm going to stay here sa unit ni Chave kasi malapit lang dito 'yung cafeteria.."
Yes.. I'm going to apply. Isa 'to sa pinapasalamat ko kay Chave. Sinabi niyang hiring! Kaya why not diba? Makikita ko si Magen at may makukuha akong pera! So why don't I try!
I heard Dad sighed "Alright, Take care. Tama na ba 'yang mga damit na pinadala ko?" he asked.
"Yeah, I love you, Dad. I need to hang up,"
"I love you too.." and then I hang up.
Kahit hindi niya nakita ay tumango ako. Hinawakan ko ang maleta na nasa harapan ko. Noong nakaraan ay pinadalhan niya na rin ako. Napadako ang tingin sa pinsan kong hindi maipinta ang mukha. He doesn't want me here!
"Just stay at my unit 'yung malapit sa ocean park. Ayaw mo ba do'n?" I raised my brows.
He glared at me.. Oh! Okay.
"Alright! I'm going to book a room! Or maybe buy me a condo unit here.." I demand.
I saw him swallowed hard "Hindi ako nasuka ng pera.."
"Hindi ko tinanong.." I bit my lower lips and pleased him.
Damn you! Chave.
"Bakit kasi one room lang? I mean you stupid idiot huh? Dapat sinabi mo na kay Dad nung niregalo niya 'to na itetake mo 'yung may tatlo or dalawang room," I complaint and rolled my eyes.
He chuckled and nodded "Alright.. Bibilhin ko 'yung nasa tapat nitong akin. Pero tig kalahati tayo,"
I nodded "Okay.."
Time passed, Chave even went to see his friend Rapha. I thought he was just friend with Magen but well... whatever.
The door opened and Chave playful smile arise. Oh that look.
"May inuman kami mamaya sa bahay nila Denver. Want to come with us?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes "Tito Solomon will be annoyed! Alam mo naman na kapag gan'tong oras ay ayaw non ng maingay. Denver will be dash like a ash!" I laughed.
It's already 8pm!
He chuckled and shook his head "Tito Solomon and Tita Bernadeth are out of town, Walang kasama si Sele at Denver sa bahay nila. Oh! Tita and Tito allowed us!"
Sele and Denver are siblings, Neejan and Lami too also Hailey and Chave. While me I'm.. only child. Pero hindi ko naman naramdaman na mag-isa ako dahil sa kanila. Lahat kami ay nagturingan na parang magkakapatid. It wasn't hard because we grew up together.
"I'm tired and I need to fixed my things. Where's my key card?" I asked.
Inabot naman niya sa'kin.
"I need to go to my unit! Thank you!" I happily said.
He just nodded and help me to bring my things.
"Lock the door properly at h'wag ka biglang magbubukas ng pinto kapag wala kang inaasahan na pupunta," he mouthed when we entered my room.
Pinalibot ko ang tingin. Its looked the same with Chave's unit. Ang kaibahan lang dito ay tanaw na tanaw ang iilan na matataas na building at maiilaw na paligid.
"Send my regards to my cousin. By the way! Video call na lang.." I said and smiled.
He nodded "I need to go... kapag nagutom ka ulit ay tumawag ka na lang d'yan.." he pointed the telephone.
I just nodded "Oh! My stupid idiot cousin named Chave Eliaziar is being a protective again huh?" I teased.
He pouted "Alis na ako!" paalam niya.
I waved my hand while watching him turning his back. "Bye!"
I've arranged my belongings. I spent several minutes as well to fixed all. I was doing my night skin care routine when my phone rang.
"Whoa! that should me holding your hand! that should be me making you laugh! That should be me, this is so sad! That should be me! That should be me!" Denver sang.. wait shouted?
Napapikit ako habang pinapatong ang phone sa phone holder. I massaged my cheeks making the bubbles disappeared.
"Ang ingay! Punyeta naman, Denver!" I heard Sele shouted.
Mas lalo pa nilakasan ni Denver ang pagkanta. Pissing his sister. I smiled and shook my head. Mabuti na lang at sound proof ang kwarto sa kanila. Nagkaraoke gabi na!
I looked at the phone screen I saw Hailey who looked annoyed as well because she appeared to go out of the bedroom.
"Bwiset na Denver at Neejan! Sila lang dalawa 'yung panay ang kanta! Wait, lemme correct it. Sila lang dalawa 'yung panay ang sigaw!" She annoyed said.
I laughed while washing my face. I stood up properly and grabbed some of tissue, Ayaw kong gawing pamunas ang towel.
"Hindi ka na nasanay d'yan. By the way, You'll going to sleep there?" I asked.
She pouted and nodded "Yes, Actually matutulog na ako sa guest room. Mga lasing na sila! Hindi naman ako uminom,"
I nodded, I'm closed to all of my cousin but Hailey is my closest among all. They said kasi na ang kill joy ko minsan and Hailey understand na hindi ako KJ i'm just too lazy.
I'm going to say something but call had ended. I think her phone is lowbat na.
I pouted when I received a text.
From: Stupid Denver
This Hailey, Na lowbat na 'yung phone ko. Matutulog na kami, Lasing na sila Lami at Chave. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
I smiled and replied
To: Stupid Denver
K whatever.
