The Unexpected Guy

Chapter 7 - Twins' Reconciliation

After our lunch and stalking day with Ken, I called my brother immediately. Nandito ako sa coffee shop na malapit sa boutique.

"Hey Macey baby." Tawag ni kuya sakin. Tumayo naman ako para halikan sya sa pisngi. "Kuya."

"So, anong nakita nyo?"

"Gerald with another girl. Flirting and kissing to death. Then you know what's next." Paliwanag ko kay kuya.

"Next what?" Patay malisya nyang tanong.

"Seriously kuya?" At sinamaan ko sya ng tingin.

"Joke." Natatawang sagot nya. "So, kelan natin sya ibubuko kay Peach?"

"Bat ako, ikaw dapat nagpaplano nyan eh."

"Oh, eh di I'll make plans na." Napatango na lang ako.

"Check ko lang schedule ng company." Sabay tingin sa phone nya. "Yun oh! Pwede sa Friday."

Uminom muna ko ng inorder kong coffee. "So? Plan?"

"Ganto. Ken, Polo and I will go to that restaurant."

"How about ate?"

"Yun nga. I'll text you after 20 or 30 minutes pagkapasok namin." Paliwanag nya sakin. "Then?"

"Pagkapasok nyo, saka magsastart ang show." With his wicked smile showing.

"Oh okay. Just make sure na magagawa natin to ah. I Can't stand to see ate with that guy." Naiirita kong sabi.

"Promise baby. Oh pano, una na ko. May dinner meeting pa ko. Mauna ka na sa bahay huh? Mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho." And with that, he stood up and kissed me on the forehead. "Okay, I love you. Ingat ka kuya." And he waved at me.

Di naman talaga ako galit kay Gerald ever since. Kung tutuusin, close pa kami nung bago pa sila ni ate. Pero nawala yun nung nakita ko sya with another girl while he's dating ate Peach, ang sarap nyang patayin! And mas nainis ako sa kanya kasi nakwento ni ate na niyaya daw sya ni Gerald to do 'that'. But since, pinakakaingatan ni ate yun, she declined. Kaya yun, super nadepress si ate for weeks. Akala ko nga magbebreak na sila eh, yun pala hindi. Nabilog pa ni Gerald ang ulo nya.

Ako, maging si kuya at sila Tine ang nakakita sa panloloko ni Gerald kay ate. I know I shouldn't meddle with their problem, pero kung kayo ang nasa posisyon ko at harap-harapang niloloko ang kapatid nyo, di ba baka gawin nyo din tong ginagawa ko?

Natutuwa naman ako kay kuya, despite the fact na nagkasagutan sila ng ate, nandun pa rin yung care and love nya para sa kanya. Ang swerte namin sa kanya at swerte din magiging girlfriend nya.

I got back to reality when I felt my phone vibrate. I checked it and saw a text from Ken.

Ken:

Where are you? I thought nasa boutique ka?

Psh. Weird huh?

Macey:

I'm here at a coffee shop few minutes away from the boutique. I met with kuya and planned something. Why'd you ask?

And I hit send. Tumayo na rin ako dala ang coffee ko at take out pastry para kay Lou. Nag-vibrate ulit ang phone ko.

Ken:

I passed by your boutique, and I didn't see you car parked there. Well, that's good.

Nakakatuwa naman tong si Ken.
