Between Lies (GxG)

Chapter 18- Nervous

Chapter 18

Today is Saturday and I don't feel like moving. I just wanna stay here inside my room. My first and only thought, the moment I woke up was, how should I face Adriana?

It was pretty obvious that she didn't like what happened. And for her, it was just a pure mistake. Hindi man nito sinabi iyon ng direkta, but reading between the lines, I know exactly what she meant. I hate to admit it, but my thought kept drifting in and out of the most awkward things possible when we face each other today. I'm not ready to face her again.

Last night, when she said those harsh things to me, I was really quiet. I didn't talk to her and I had to pretend that I was so sleepy, so I went straight to my room. Halata rin naman na umiiwas siya dahil hindi rin niya ko pinansin. Siguro nga tama lang yun, para hindi na ko mag assume pa.

I closed my eyes again while forcing myself to sleep again, but before I can do that, may narinig na kong ingay sa may living room.

Since halos katapat lang naman ng living room yung kwarto ko, rinig na rinig ko yung mga boses nila. Napilitan akong lumabas nang makita kong may mga messages pala si Grayson at may mga missed calls pa. So kaya pala may tao sa labas ay pupunta pala sila dito kasama ang kuya nito.

I'd rather be with Adriana alone than to see Jackson. Hindi ko talaga sya feel makita lately. Naiirita ko sakanya for some reason.

Nang makalabas na ako ay sabay sabay na lumingon ang tatlo saakin. Napilitan akong ngumiti sakanila. Jackson looked hot with his black polo shirt. Grayson looked handsome as well wearing his plain white tee.

Well, as for Adriana, who looked like an angel with her off-shoulder white dress. Napaka ganda kahit halatang puyat ito. Kelan ba ito pumanget? Never. Ugh! Sobrang ganda lagi. Kahit yata ano pang isuot nito, babagay dito.

"Good morning" I greeted all of them.

"Good morning beautiful" Grayson greeted me with a kiss on my cheek. Wow ha? Jowa lang? I felt my cheeks reddened.

Napansin kong napapangiti si Grayson pati na rin ang kuya nito. While Adriana was just looking at Grayson. I couldn't read her expression as usual.

"Oh pa'no? Mauna na kami. You take care of Cara. Adriana will kill you if something bad happened to her" pagbibiro ni Jackson.

So may lakad pala ang dalawa?

Akala ko ba magpapasama itong magaling kong boss sakin?

Pero bakit si Jackson ang kasama nito ngayon? At bakit parang di ko alam na kami ni Grayson ang maiiwan?

Ano to?

This is not supposed to happen, knowing Adriana! Ayaw na ayaw nito na makasama ko si Grayson, pero bakit wala yata kong kalam alam, na may nabuong plan na pala without my knowledge? Seriously???

"T-teka, san kayo pupunta?" I was just asking Adriana, I didn't want to talk to Jackson. His presence irritates me for real.

"Babe time" natatawang sagot ni Grayson sa dalawa, dahilan upang tumingin ng masama si Adriana dito.

"Oops! Kidding"

"Shopping" maiksing sagot ni Adriana.

So? Magshoshopping pala ang dalawa. At kami lang ni Grayson ang maiiwan dito? Or are we going out somewhere?

Hahakbang na sana ang dalawa ng bigla akong nagsalita, without thinking.

"Wait..."

Napahinto ang dalawa. Napatingin sa'kin si Adriana
