The Only Girl Of Section 5

Chapter 81

CJ's POV:

"Thanks." I said as I got off his back. I thought once he dropped me here he'll go home. Pero nagulat ako nang bumaba din siya at inayos ang buhok niya.

"Let's go." Aya niya at akmang papasok din nang hawakan ko ang kamay niya.

"Uh, excuse me Mr. Ashford, need I remind you, meeting ko 'to." Ani ko at hinila siya pabalik sa motor niya. "So go home, and sleep. Kung hindi ka makatulog, sabihin mo lang. I'll ask Fire to punch you sa panga."

"Are you serious?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.Tanging pag-titig lang ang ginawa ko sakaniya dahilan para mapabuga siya ng hangin. "I drove you here, tapos wala man lang thank you?"

"Hoy nag thank you ako—"

"Tapos paaalisin mo din ako? Wow, Cyan Jade. You really are something. How rude." Kumento niya. Napakamot na lamang ako sa ulo ko at pinigilan ang sarili kong kaltukan siya.

"Aish! Jilchaeghal geomyeon wae taewoda jugessdago han geoya?! meongcheong a!" ("Aish! If you're going to reprimand me for it, why did you say you'd drive me?! Idiot!) I shouted and glared at him. Kumunot naman ang noo niya at tila pilit iniintindi ang sinabi ko.

"Huh? Can you translate that? I'm not Korean." Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin. Makuha ka sa tingin yelo!

Ilang segundo ko siyang tiningnan pero nandun pa din yung pagtataka sa mukha niya kaya napapikit na lamang ako at nagbuga ng hangin dahil sa inis.

"Tara na nga! Just...keep your mouth shut, okay? Remember, the reason you're here with me and I'm allowing you to be here with me...is because I trust you. So, I repeat, KEEP.YOUR.MOUTH.SHUT. Don't tell anyone about this. Not a single soul." I said, looking straight to his eyes. His face is so serious that it made me calm and not overthink that he might tell it to someone.

"But what if that soul is in a relationship? Paano kapag magjowa? Pwede ko sabihin?" Seryosong tanong niya. Nahilot ko na lamang ang sentido ko at marahas na sinuklay ang buhok ko bago huminga ng malalim. I composed myself before entering the restaurant. Naramdaman ko ang pagsunod ni Ice saakin sa loob. I scanned the whole place to look for someone familiar. Luckily, there's no one beside those two people that I have to meet.

I silently walked towards the table at the very end of the restaurant. The table is located beside the window, but it is covered with blinds.

"You're here." Kuya Jack said and stood up. As if it was an automatic move, I immediately hugged him. Ate Jill joined the hug ang kissed the top of my head.

"Who is he?" Ate Jill asked and eyed Ice up and down. Umalis ako mula sa pagkakayakap kay kuya Jack at humarap kay Ice.

"Ate, kuya, this is Ice. My friend." I introduced him. Pinandilatan ko siya ng mata at sinenyas na magpakilala siya pero nanatili siyang nakatayo sa pwesto niya, nakapamulsa at nakatitig lang sa dalawang J na nasa likuran ko.

"Does he know?" Kuya Jack asked. I slowly nodded.

"Siya yung nakausap mo nung isang araw." Bulong ko. Naramdaman ko ang pagtango ni kuya Jack.

"Right. I remember that." He replied and eyes ice up and down, just like ate Jill did. Kambal talaga.

"Can we get down to business? I have a curfew. Kailangan naming bumalik ng 8 pm. I'm under house arrest." I said and scratched the back of my neck.

"Right. Have a seat." Kuya Jack said and motioned for us to sit. Tumango ako at nauna nang umupo. Akala ko si ate Jill ang tatabi saakin pero umikot siya papunta sa tabi ni kuya Jack. No choice kundi si yelong kumag ang katabi ko.
