A Receptionist's Lovelife (SPG)

Chapter 22

*NEXY DAY*

"Okay, the kitchen is ours. Tell me what we need." -Tyler

"We need garlic, of course. Pork, brown sugar, vingar..."

"woah woah woah slow down there." nakita kong nagsstruggle na siya maghanap ng ingredients.

"Sorry" natawa ako.

"Okay. Ulitin natin. Garlic, check. Pork, check. Brown sugar, check. Ano pa?"

"Vinegar."

"check!"

"Toyo."

"Check!"

"Pepper."

"Check!"

"Okay we're all set."

"Tara." he led me to the stove.

Linagay ko na ang pork sa kawali and continued to roast it till it was golden brown.

"seryosong seryoso ka ha." bati ni Tyler.

"Eh syempre, queen ba naman ang lulutuan ko."

Linagyan ko na ng tubig ang kawali and let it boil and simmer.

"Since we're waiting for the adobo to cook, let's eat this first." Naglabas siya ng dalawang bowl and poured champorado in it.

"CHAMPORADO??!!!" Excited kong sabi.

Tatlong buwan na akong hindi nakakakain ng champorado. 

"Yes. I made it earlier before you came. Alam ko namimiss mo na ang Pilipinas and I thought you'd like it."

"I love it!" yinakap ko siya.

Namamadali akong kumain. 

Sa kakamadali ko nahulog ang kutsara ko sa table at tumalsik ang laman sa mukha ni Tyler.

"Sorry Tyler, wait kukuha ako ng tissue!" namamadali akong kumuha ng tissue.

Pinunasan ko ang mukha niya.

Hazel brown eyes and sraight dark brown hair. He pretty much looks like his mom. While si Marco naman, green eyes and light brown hair, sa king naman siya nagmana. No wonder why he thinks he's a half brother when truly nakuha niya lang talaga ang genes ni mom niya..

"Thanks, Jen." hinawakan niya ang mukha ko.

"Tyler!" inalis ko agad ang kamay niya nang maramdaman kong malagkit.

Hinawakan ko ang pisngi ko. Champorado!

Kinuha ko ang kutsara ko at ginawa kong catapult. The food landed on his shirt.

"HAHA"

"I'll get you back!"

Ginaya niya rin ako at hindi tumama sa akin.

"Haha, tubong Pilipino ata 'to. Expert ako magtirador!"

We laughed so much and I realized that I didn't ever get to see this side of him.

I never got to see his inner child. When we were in the hotel, he was pretty much serious all the time. But now, he's become such a great and playful friend.

'friend lang ba talaga?' tanong ng konsensya ko.

I erased the thought of it.

"May tanong ako, Tyler."

"Ano yun?" 

"Why weren't you like this when we were in the hotel?"

"What do you mean?"
