THE DEAL

TD- 53

At 9 in the morning the next day, they went to the place where Anj would meet them for the first practice.

Aga has been insisting Lea not to decline the favor.

"Bakit mo kasi tatanggihan? That's for Mamu naman, 'no." He reasoned out.

She raised her eyebrow, "If I know, tsatsansingan mo lang ako."

Aga smirked, "Pwede rin. Kung gusto mo."

A slap landed on his side, "Manyakis."

He moved his face closer to hers making her eyed widen by the sudden action. "Ano kamo, kiss?"

Wearing her plain white v-neck shirt paired with tattered jeans, she entered the dancing hall first leaving Aga behind her who's just wearing a shorts and gray shirt.

Upon seeing them, Angela stood up from her seat and approached Lea.

"Hello! Finally!" she exclaimed.

Lea kissed her on the cheeks, "Yeah. Hi! It's been a while."

"Oo, sobrang while na, inabot na ng 5 years?! You haven't changed, ha. Ang ganda mo pa rin. How old are you na nga?" Angela asked her.

She chuckled and shook her head, "Let's not talk about my age."

"She's turning 18 next month." a voice from behind speaks. It was none other than Aga.

Angela approached him, too and hugged him. "Gym ka, friend."

Aga laughed, "Mas masarap kumain."

"Binubusog ka ba ng asawa mo?" Angela asked him.

Lea bit her lips and looked at him.

"Uhm, Angela--"

"Tara, let's start the practice." Lea exclaimed and put her things down.

Angela nodded and took her phone out to connect it to the speakers.

Lea's eyes squinted upon hearing the song. While Aga gulped.

They looked at each other.

"Are you serious?" Lea asked Angela.

Angela nodded and smiled, "Do you find the song awkward?"

Lea bit her lips, "It's very slow, 'no? Strip dance ba 'tong gagawin namin?" she joked.

Aga laughed, "No, babes. Don't do that."

Lea rolled her eyes at him.

"Hindi naman. Sexy performance lang. Pero we can change some steps if you don't like. It's up to you."

"It's fine, Anj. We can do it." Aga assured her and encircled his arms around Lea's waist.

Angela smiled, "Ilan na anak niyo?"

Aga was about to answer when Lea spoke up, "Wala pa."

Aga looked at her. She just glared at him.

While dancing, Aga couldn't help but stare at her face. Very smooth and white skin, pointed nose, hazelnut eyes, thin kissable lips and her attractive henna on her collarbone which shows whenever he bends her down.

"Matutunaw na ako, Aga. Huwag mo akong titigan." she says.

"Sorry, can't help it, eh."

She had her poker face afterwards.

"Lei." he called her again.

She looked at him.

"Bakit hindi mo sinasagot 'yon--"
