Mirrow Crown

Chapter 32

"SEE YOU LATER, Mir." Hinaplos niya ang pisngi nito saka tumingkayad para halikan ang labi ng binata.

"Go to my office before lunch. I'll wait for you," he requested.

"No promises here. I'll be with Jinky Elle and we could lose track of the time while shopping."

Sumama ang mukha nito.

"I will be out of the Island this afternoon, sweetheart. Spend the lunch with me," ungot nito saka lalo siyang kinulong sa yakap.

"I'll try, Mir—"

"Hoy, bitawan mo na nga 'yan." Sita ni just L kay Mir. "Makayakap ka naman parang hindi kayo magdamag at gabi-gabi na magkasama."

"Can't help it. Can't get enough of my sweetheart just like you can't get enough of Luc," Mir reasoned out, teasing.

"Hoy! Gago ka, sawang-sawa na ako sa kaibigan mo!" L spat.

Nagkatinginan sila ni Mir saka sabay na napangiti.

"Eh, bakit sabi ni kuya hindi ka makatulog ng hindi siya katabi?" Baling niya sa kaibigan.

Agad na sumama ang mukha ni Jinky Elle sa narinig.

"Gago 'yang kapatid mo! Sinungaling!" Umungol ito sa inis saka sila iniwan para pumasok sa isang clothing boutique.

"Your friend has really bad blood for your brother," Mir commented.

Nagkibit balikat siya at hinayaan ang binata na suotan siya ng floppy hat at sunglasses.

"Don't talk to strangers and always wear these things." Paalala nito habang inaayos ang sunglasses at floppy hat.

"I'm with L so don't worry. She'll be hitting me in the head if I talk to just anyone."

"Good." Sinapo ng binata ang mukha niya saka siya siniil ng halik

Silence smiled while responding to the kiss. It's just amusing how much Mir lives to kiss her. And he doesn't even care where they are and who is around. If he gets a chance to kiss her, he would do it.

"I love you, sweetheart."

"'Love you too."

Niyakap niya ito bago lumayo para sundan si Jinky Elle.

"Don't forget the lunch!" Mir shouted.

Silence turned and give a thumbs up before getting inside the shop.

"Akala ko oras hintayin ko bago ka bitawan ng jowa mo." Inirapan siya ni Jinky Elle. "Ang clingy ng magkakapatid. Nakita ko yung isang kapatid ni Mir nung isang araw. Si Kreston. Nako! Kung makahawak sa asawa kala mo tatangayin ng iba."

"Don't you like it when a man is sweet and clingy to you, just L?"

"Hindi! Kasi pagod lang yan pagdalawa lang kayo."

"Is that what kuya has been doing to you—"

Napanguso siya ng basta na lang siya tinapunan ng damit ni Jinky Elle sa mukha.

"Manahimik ka baka pagbuhulin ko kayo ng kapatid mo!" Singhal nito saka inabala ang sarili sa paghahanap ng damit para sa engagement ng kapatid ni Mir bukas.

Silence narrowed her eyes at her friend. "Why are you so hot-headed this past few days, L?" she asked.

Natigilan ito saka nagbuga ng hangin. "Kulang lang ako sa tulog, bhe."

Silence hummed and didn't press more as she can see that L is really not in the mood today.

Kaya naman inabala niya ang sarili sa paghahanap ng damit.
