41: Text Messages from Dashed

"My! Dy! Mga Kuya! I'm here!" I squirmed with delight.

Kumaway-kaway ako para mas lalo nila akong mapansin dito sa kinatatayuan ko. Nagtatalon pa ako ron habang tawa naman ng tawa si Manang Suzan at Manong Berto, ang driver namin, sa akin.

Ewan ko ba pero parang nawalan na ako ng hiya when I finally saw them walking towards us. Thank God. They arrived safely! I missed them so much!

Sinalubong ko ng yakap ang aking buong pamilya. My hermanos even gave me a peck on the cheek and messed up my hair.

"You look lovely, princess," Kuya Briz said. Nagtingin-tingin siya sa paligid, pagkuwan ay napakunot-noo nang sigurong hindi mahagilap ng mga mata niya ang hinahanap. "Where's your novio?"

"Kuya... there's the right time and the right place for you to meet him," I smiled sweetly. "But I swear, once you meet him, I'm pretty sure you would like him! But unfortunately, I can't change the fact that he's more handsome than all of you!" tumawa ako nang sabay-sabay silang humalukipkip sa sinabi ko.

"Come on, hermana. Mas may gagwapo pa ba sa amin?" Kuya Brent commented.

He pulled me closer to him and put his arm around me. Well, even before, talagang 'yong confidence nila sa mga sarili nila, umaapaw na!

"Of course, Kuya!"

"And who is that?" Kuya Bryán raised a brow. He looked at me with a teasing look, so I bit my lower lip.

"I told you already. It's my boyfriend!"

"Sus. In love ka na nga." they said in unison while shaking their heads.

Maybe in the past, I would have felt awkward after hearing those words. But now that I've admitted to myself that I'm in love with him, I'm just feeling all giddy.

On our way home, panay ang tanong nila sa'kin kung kamusta raw ba ang relasyon ko kay Dashed. Kapag ngumingiti na ako, I could feel my brothers poking me teasingly. They knew how much I was giddy about it. Then Mommy would join in with her giggles, making them all cringe at the sight of us.

"Makikipagpalit 'yun sa mukha ng aso kapag pinaiyak ka niya." out of the blue, sinabi iyon ni Kuya Briz. He was seated next to me, so I clearly heard it from him.

I suddenly felt uneasy... knowing that he was serious about what he had said.

Gods. Paano kapag nalaman nila na peke lang ang relasyon naming dalawa ni Dashed?

Would they be angry? Would they push me away from him?

"Aba! Masubuk-subukan lang niya ang pagiging black belter ko sa judo!" sabat naman ni Kuya Bryán.

Lumipat ang tingin ko kay Kuya Brent dahil siya na lang iyong hindi nagsasalita sa kanila. Napalunok ako nang makita ang pagseseryoso sa mukha niya. Argh! They were so protective!

"Mabubugbog ko talaga 'yun kapag sinaktan niya ang prinsesa natin."

Oh, heavenly Gods.

"Shut it, boys! Masyado niyong pinepressure si Bronywn sa boyfriend niyang pogi pa sa inyo!" Mommy rolled her eyes at them. "Trust me, Dashed is a nice guy. Hindi lang puro mukha. He's also kind and a gentleman. Boyfriend material 'yon! And I would vouch for him if I had to!"

I was about to agree with her, but then my phone rang. My heart automatically thumped when I noticed that it was a text message from my— boyfriend.

Dashed

Hey, baby. Are you with your fam now? I miss you.
Reply if you have time, please.

Napakagat-labi na naman ako sa kilig na bumalot sa buong sistema ko.

I even took a deep breath before typing a reply!

Me

Yes. On our way to Wagyu Beef. We're going to have dinner there :)

Kuya Briz nudged me when he saw me putting my phone on my chest. His eyes were questioning what was happening with me, but I only shook my head.

Wait lang, Kuya!

May kinikilig dito!

Dashed

Sayang.

                   Me

Why sayang? :/

Dashed

Want to come but I can't :(
Kasama ko si Dashíon ngayon.
The idiot insists on goingto QC.

                   Me

Why? What are u going to do there?

Dashed

Ewan ko lang sa kanya.

                   Me

Oki oki! Ingat kayo!

Dashed

Don't worry. No girls around, baby :*

And that was the time when I couldn't contain anymore the smile that had been wanting to spread across my lips since earlier.

                   Me

Not asking :P

Dashed

Really? I can sense jealousy, tho.

                   Me

                   I'm not kaya!

Dashed

But of c, even if you don't really ask or tell me, I'll definitely behave for you : )

Me

                   God, Dashed. You never
                 failed a shot, huh?

Dashed

What? :)

                   Me

                   Wala! Sabi ko 'di na ako
                   makapaghintay na
                   makilala ka ng parents ko :D

Dashed

Me too.
I can't wait to meet them.

Tumili ako nang pasikreto. Ewan ko ba. Parang sasabog ang dibdib ko sa sobrang saya at sa sobrang... kilig.

And you know... This is all Dashed's fault!
