Hunstman Series #:9- The Innocent Daughter

Chapter 27

ERIN Pov's:
#NewGuy

"Besh, flowers ka ba?" Andrei asked with his eyes twinkles while staring at me, as if he saw something new in my face. We're here at the principal's office for a short meeting.

"Hindi, bakit?" Pagtaas ng kilay ko. Nandito kami sa pinakagilid ng upuan kaya hindi masyado madidinig ang usapan namin, busy din kase ang ibang teachers sa mga kausap nila.

"Blooming ka kase, besh! Nadiligan na ba— hmp!"

"Hush!. Tumahimik ka nga, kundi lalagyan ko ng packing tape iyang labi mo!" I said in my warning tone as I show him the packing tape I'm wearing at my wrist, while covering his mouth. He nodded before releasing my hand, pero may nanunukso pa din na ngiti sa mukha.

"Pero blooming ka talaga, gurl! Namumula pa 'yong mga pisngi mo oh!" Tukso na naman niya sa mahinang boses. Napaiwas na lang ako ng tingin kase kung saan pa mapunta ang usapan o ang tanong niya. Sa totoo lang kase ay maganda ang gising ko at maaliwalas ang mukha ko pagkaggising ko kanina.

I'm i really that obvious after Raven's lips marking me?

"Tumahimik ka nga, nandiyan na si ma'am principal." Suway ko na kinabungisngis lang niya at pasimple na bumulong sa akin.

"Boyfriend mo pala si mr. Raven at hindi mo iyon sinasabi sa akin, ha!" He muttered beside me while our principal started meeting us.

Lihim ko siyang siniko at sinamaan pa ng tingin bago ako umayos ng upo, tinuon ko ang buong pansin sa aming principal. I'm thankful that he's stop asking me and also focus his attention on our principal's words. She finished after half minutes and we're back to our destined classroom. Nauna na akong lumakad kay Andrei dahil kinausap pa siya ng isang co-teacher namin.

"Class, good morning!" I greeted as I'm standing in front of my class.

"Good morning, miss Hunstman!" They greeted me and I've started my lessons for today. Until the bell rang for the breaktime. Nag-angat ako ng tingin nang may kumatok sa pinto at iniluwa nun si Mang Ted, the gate's security guard.

"Miss Erin, may naghahanap po sa inyo na lalaki sa labas ng gate." He said that I pause for a while before nodded my head, I don't know who's the guy but I highly felt that the guy is maybe Raven.

"Sige po susunod ako. Salamat." He nodded before leaving, habang ako ay malalim na napabuntong-hininga bago sinara ang lesson plan ko. And then I headed to the gate entrance.

"Nandoon po siya sa labas, miss Erin." Turo ni Mang Ted sa labas na kinaroroonan ng lalaki habang binubuksan ang labasan sa gate.

"Salamat po, Mang Ted." I politely said before headed outside. My eyes wandering the place when I didn't see a man or a guy waiting for me. Napailing ako at akmang tatalikod nang mabunggo naman ako sa isang bulto, muntik akong matumba nang may humapit sa beywang ko.

Hey, are you okay—Erin?" The voice was familiar with me, so I abruptly look at him, my eyes became wider and a smile appeared at my lips.

"Tonio! Is that really you?" Bulalas ko at nanigurado pa talaga na mabilis naman niyang kinatango.

"It's me, Tonio Dela Pena." Lumapad ang pagkakangiti ko at sabik siyang niyakap. He's Tonio Dela Pena, the oldest brother of Tonet, and he's the best brother to me before. He was schooling on the States with the course of Bachelor of Law, and maybe he'd already graduated on that course.

"Are you a certified Lawyer now?" I asked as I face him again. Nakatingala pa ako kase tumangkad siya. Payatot din siya noon, ngayon ay maganda na ang hubog ng pangangatawan niya.
