Accidental Baby

Chapter One

ANAIS

"How was your sleep?" Tita Cassie while we were having breakfast. Audrey and I had a sleep-over last night just like we usually do as our house were just right next to the Cordovas. Minsan ako ang natutulog sa kanila at minsan naman siya ang natutulog sa bahay namin.

"It was good, tita. I've never slept better." I answered.

"Akala ko nga hindi ka makatulog kagabi. I woke up without you in bed." Audrey said.

"I just went out to get myself a glass of water."

Coco, who was sitting right across from me, looked at me with a wicked gleam in his eyes and a subtle boyish smirk on his lips as if enjoying the secret that only the two of us knew. He knew well where I had been last night and what we had done. Frowningly, my brows contracted at him. Sinipa ko ang paa niya sa ilalim ng mesa.

"Ouch!" He exclaimed.

"What?" Tito Phoenix looked at him, confused.

"Anais kicked me!" He complained.

"He's making faces at me, Tito." Dahilan ko.

"Coco, ang aga-aga inaasar mo na naman si Anais. Stop, okay?" Tita Cassie looked at him, warning in her voice.

"She started it, Ma! Wala akong ginagawa sa kanya."

"Just finish your breakfast." Sabi ni Tita Cassie.

I playfully stuck my tongue out at him, childish I know, but it still irked him. That was all that mattered.

"These two... they always fight but they can't live without each other." Tito Phoenix chuckled.

"My life would've been easier without that brat in it." He scowled.

"Talaga lang, ha? Just to remind you, kung hindi dahil sa akin hindi ka pa rin makakapagsalita." I said, an arrogant smile on my lips.

"Yeah, the first word you ever said was her name." Sabi naman ni Audrey.

"Kaya nga dapat hindi mo inaaway si Anais. Kung anu-anong klaseng therapy na ang ginawa sa'yo noon pero siya lang ang nakapagpasalita sa'yo." Tita Cassie said.

"Why can't Kuya Coco talk before?" Ronnie, their little sister, asked.

"It's a long story, sweetheart. Finish up your breakfast." Tito Phoenix gently told Ronnie.

I finished my breakfast and went to their veranda. Coco followed me and we sat on the swinging bench outside.

"Uuwi na ko maya-maya." Sabi ko.

"Hahatid na kita." Coco offered.

"Oh, you don't have to." I arched my brow. " Baka maabala pa kita! After all, your life would be easier without me in it."

He put his arm around my shoulder and nuzzled his head in my neck, I felt him smirk against my skin. "Ikaw naman, nagtatampo ka aga. Masyado mong sineseryoso mga sinasabi ko."

"Ano ba, Coco? Umayos ka nga. Baka may makakita sa atin!" I pushed him away from me.

"Bakit? Wala naman tayong ginagawa saka nasa loob naman sila. You smell so good." He pressed a kiss on my neck and chuckled a little. We were at their veranda while his parents and sisters were still inside, just a glass sliding door away from us.

"Coco..." Saway ko sa kanya.

"Okay, okay..." He sighed, pulling his head away from me.

"Ganyan ka naman eh! You only remember me when you don't have a girlfriend."
