My Prim and Proper Prince (Under Editing)

Chapter 13. Selos

MATINA
"What it is?" Iasked him. He gave me an invitation letter.

"As you can see, invitation card 'yan!" he answered sarcastically.

"I'm not stupid, alam kong invitation card 'to,  What I mean to say is... Kanino galing saan? Sino ba may Birthday?"

"Wala!  Si Lianne,  her friend organized a welcome party for her and she invited us."

"Ayoko!" I gave back the invitation card to him.

"We have an agreement Matina, 'di ka pwedeng tumanggi."

"Still no!"

"But please Matina, kailangan nating pumunta doon."

"Mao-OP lang ako doon,  For sure puro kaibigan n'yo ang pupunta doon."

"Babayaran kita!"

"And what do you think of me?"

"Nasa kontrata 'yan 'di ba?"

"Ang sabi ko pag-ayaw ko ayaw ko,  iyon ang nakasulat sa kontrata."

"Ang sabi ko pag kailangan, Babayaran kita. Nakalimutan mo na ba?" he asked "Di bale alam ko naman na wala kang isang salita." he said and turn his back on me.

"Wait Andrew, marunong akala ng kausap no!"

" 'Yon naman pala eh, patunayan mo!" hee said and left. I just rolled my eyes and took a exasperated sigh.

MATINA
Dahil sa pangungulit ni Andrew ay napilitan akonng sumama sa party Lianne. Dasal ko lang sana'y 'di siya ma-op dito. Puro kaibigan nila Lianne ang tao dito.

"Matina Lianne, is walking towards us,  please act sweet," I snapped back to reality and look at Andrew who I almost forgot seating beside me.

"Act sweet? " she asked "Oh eto oh... cake sweet subuin mo lahat." sagot ko sabay subo rito ng isang slice ng cake.

Halatang naiinis si Andrew kaya gumanti siya."Eto ho-ney Ma-sa-rap!" Nabibilaukan pang sabi niya at isinubo rin sa akin ang malaking slice ng cake sa plato niya.

"Oh I hate to ruin this romantic atmosphere but... Matina, pwede bang mahiram saglit si Andrew? Magpapapicture lang kaming barkada," suddenly Lianne appeared in front of us.  "And one more favor,  Pwede ikaw ang kumuha ng picture. Ikaw lang kasi 'yong ibang tao dito eh," I don't want to let Lianne ruin my day, so She just agreed.

Pumuwesto na ang barkada ni Lianne. Habang nasa gitna si Andrew katabi si Lianne. Naiinis akong makita si Andrew sa tabi niya pero 'di ako nagpahalata. I don't want to give her a satisfaction to see me piss.

"Okay guys...picture taking 123!" I said.  "One more! "

"Thanks Matina," Lianne said
"Teka blurred naman lahat 'to!" Lianne exclaimed.

"Ha! Gan'on ba? Sorry ha, hindi kasi talaga ako marunong kumuha ng picture," I acted innocent pero sinadya ko talaga iyon.

"Pwede isa pa?" Lianne asked.

"Hindi nga ako marunong,"  pagtangi ko.

"It's okay Lianne, ako na lang kukuha. " sagot ng isang kaibigan niya.

"Okay, thanks Dexter!" sagot ni Lianne at bumalik sa tabi ni Andrew.

"Wait Matina, sali ka na rin, tabi ka kay Andrew," ani Dexter.

"Okay lang ba guys?"

"Okay lang!" They're all said in choro si Lianne lang ang 'di sumagot.
Tumabi ako kay Andrew at hinila ang kamay niyang hawak ni Lianne.

"1 2 3 Smile! "
I smiled widely on the picture while Lianne looks so irritated.

MATINA
Magkatabi kami ni Andrew pero mayamaya ay tinawag na naman siya ni Lianne. Nananadya talaga ang babaeng ito. Naiinis ako sa kamya pero mas naiinis ako sa sarili ko kung bakit ako naiinis na makitang magkatabi sila.

"Hi Miss," bati ng isang lalaki sa'kin at tumabi sa upuan ko.

"Hello," I don't want to be rude so I greeted him back.

"Dexter, Andrew's friend, Are you two together?" ususera din pala 'tong lalaki na 'to.

"Hmmm Sort of!" I answered.

"What?" Naguguluhang tanong niya.

"I mean... yes we're together." I smiled.

"Where's  Andrew? Bakit iniwan ka niya?"

"Iyon and'on sa ex niya!" I can't help but to burst out my sentiment.

"And you're jealous?"

"Of course not!" I denied, but the truth is, I felt a little irritation with the thought of Andrew was with Lianne.

"Don't deny it, hindi naman masama of course you're the girlfriend right."
I just faked a smile. I saw Andrew walking towards us.

"Oh here he is...sige maiwan na muna kita," Dexter said and left.

"Nalingat lang ako ng konti,  may kausap ka ng iba?  You have to pretend that you're my girlfriend. Kaya bawal ka makipag usap sa iba!"

"Ikaw pa 'yong galit? iniwan mo nga ako, ano mukha akong tanga dito. Tapos ikaw nand'on sa Lianne mo!" I shouted at him.

"Lower down your voice, I'm just acknowledging my presence to her. Ayokong isipin niya na ayaw ko siyang kasama. Pero teka nagseselos ka ba?"
I rolled my eyes and looked away. I heard him laugh a bit.

"Are you making fun of me? aalis ako dito sige ka!"

"Hey joke lang." He grabbed my hand and hugged me. I looked down to his arms wrapped around my waist. My cheeks is burning and she knew she blushed.

"Lianne is watching! " Nawala agad ang kilig ko nang sabihin ito ni Andrew. Kaya naman pala niyakap niya ako ay dahil na naman kay Lianne. And because of my pride I made a promise to myself, that I will do everything to take him away from his ex.
