Beneath a Moonless Sky (Wild Love Series #2)

Chapter 16

After he said that, pumunta agad siya pabalik kay Solana. He's just standing there with both his hands in his pockets. My eyes went to Sixto when I heard him clear his throat.

"So...What's your relationship with Eros?"

"Uhh...Friends?" I gave him a small smile.

He shook his head and shifted on his seat. "I don't think so."

Namilog ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. Mukha ba kaming in a relationship sa paningin niya? I mean, that's great! It just means na hindi na ako mukhang nakakabatang kapatid niya!

"You can tell me. My sister likes Eros but I know that he doesn't like her. I just want to know what's the real score between you two kasi I want to protect her heart."

"There's nothing really going on between us." Pag-aamin ko kasi 'yun naman talaga ang totoo.

"I'm not sure if I should trust that."

My forehead creased. Ano bang gustong iparating nitong si Sixto?

"Well, if that's the case..." pinatong niya ang siko sa lamesa at nangalumbaba. "Can I court you?"

Nabaling ang tingin ko sa plato na pabagsak na nilagay sa harap ko. Galing doon papunta kung sino ang nagbagsak noon. I found him staring daggers at the boy in front of us.

"No."

Sixto smiled. "I'm not talking to you."

Nagtitigan silang dalawa ng maigi. Umupo siya sa tabi ko at inayos ang mga ulam. They looked like they were about to punch each other.

"Gutom na gutom na ako," Umupo si Solana sa tabi ng kapatid. Napatingin din siya sa dalawa at kumunot ang noo dahil sa pagtitigan nito.

"Why the hell are you guys staring at each other like you actually want to punch each other? What's wrong with them?"

I was about to say something when Anne and Pedro showed up. Umupo sila sa bakanteng upuan na katabi ko at ang isa naman ay katabi ni Kuya Eros.

"Wala..."

I glanced at the people in front of me. Ginulo ni Sixto ang buhok ni Solana at tumawa na para bang walang nangyari. Nang maramdaman niyang nakatingin ako ay sumeryoso ulit siya.

"Stop looking at him,"

I looked at him as he seriously put barbeque on my plate. He took five and even slapped the hand of Sixto who was about to take one. The man just laughed and took another.

Isa-isang binigyan kami ni Pedro nang plastic gloves. Kumuha si Sixto at bibigyan na sana ako kaso may ibang kumuha 'nun.

Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa ni Solana. Naguguluhan siyang nakatingin sa amin kaya iniwas ko nalang ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"Salamat."

I looked at Anne when I felt her elbow poking me. She gave me a teasing look and smiled like she won some lottery.

"Pedro bigyan mo nga ako ng gloves."

Di ko napansin na nakanganga pala si Pedro dahil sa nakita niya kanina. Napabalik sa wisyo si Pedro nang tinawag siya at dali-dali naman niya itong binigay sa amo.

"Give me your hands." He tried na suotin ito sa akin but ako na ang tumigil sa kanya. Nahihiya ako kasi nakatingin sa amin 'yung dalawa.

After I put it on, I did nothing but wait for him to finish. They have started eating while we haven't.
