CHAPTER 67

Kerby's POV

"Babe how do I look?" I faced Irish as I show her my fits. I'm wearing a brown button down polo shirt together with a loose cream trousers and black loafers.

"You look so handsome babe, gosh! I think I made a mistake when I allowed you to cut your hair. Damn it!" Lumapit ito sa akin at marahang inayos ang collar ng polo ko. "No wonder why you got all the attention when you're in the court. I'm so lucky that I have you" she smiled and tiptoe to kiss me. It's just a smack.

"I'm the luckiest, I got the person who's faithful, supportive, caring and the prettiest. I'll be forever grateful because I have you" I said then kiss her.

"Inuuto mo pa ako. Anyway, how's my fit?" She slowly turned around showing herself. She's wearing a brown long fitted dress top with a cream cardigan and a pair of black heals.

"You are perfectly fine babe, parang hindi dragon pag nagagalit" bero ko kaya sumimangot ito.

"Ah so I look like a dragon?" She pouted. Ngumisi naman ako.

"Yep, and you look like a duck when you pout" dagdag ko pa. Nanlaki naman ang mata nito at bigla akong hinampas sa braso.

"Shut up! I hate you" tumalikod ito at umupo sa kama. Agad naman akong sumunod dito.

"I was just joking, maganda ka parin naman kahit muka kang drahon o pato" natatawang sabi ko kaya mas lalo itong sumimangot. Damn! She's so cute.

"Should I be proud about that?" Sarcastic na sabi nito.

"Okay fine I'm sorry. Come on, baka hinihintay na tayo nila Tita." Aya ko rito. Napatingin pa ito sa clock bago sa akin.

"Okay. But I still hate you" then she walks out. Hinabol ko nalang ito at kinuha ang susi sa may table.

Mula pagkababa sa condo hanggang sa pagsakay sa kotse ay hindi niya ako pinapansin. Shit! Nagalit yata talaga.

"Babe bukas na nga pala yung birthday nung kambal, attend tayo ha?" Pag sisimula ko. Sobrang tahimik kasi ng byahe. Hindi ako sanay.

"Okay." She coldly said. Napakagat ako sa labi ko, I knew it.

"Babe sorry na, I didn't mean anything, I was just teasing you because you're so cute when you're mad. Please forgive me, I won't do it again" pakiusap ko. Pero this time tumango lang siya. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang manahimik. When she's mad, she's mad, ayaw niyang kulitin siya because she said lilipas din naman at pwede namin pag usapan compare sa ipipilit ko and yet masama parin ang loob niya after that.

Nagmaneho ako ng almost 1 and half hour before we reach their rest house. Pinapa renovate kasi yung bahay nila sa city so they said na dito nalang muna since mas peaceful daw dito.

"Couz!!!" Pagbukas na pagbukas ko ng pinto ay iyon agad ang narinig ko. "Ay? Where's Irish?" Gulat na sabi nito. Napakamot ako sa ulo bago pumunta sa passenger seat.

"Here" I said and open the door.

"Clara, you're so loud. Why are you here?" Bungad naman ni Irish dito.

"They say it is a family gathering, so I suppose to be here." Sagot naman nito.

"What?!" Gulat na reaction ni Irish. Kunit noo naman akong napatingin dito. I thought family dinner lang ito between her parents and us. I'm not aware that it was a family gathering, which includes her clan.

"Yup, sabi ni tita we're going to meet your girlfriend, that's why we're all here." Nakangiting sabi niyo bago bumaling sa akin.

"Are you Kerby? I'm Clara, Irish first cousin" then she offer her hand. I accept it and greet her.
