BITTEN ✓ (Hunter / Spinoff) Russell's Story

Chapter 33: Car seat

Bella's POV

"Oh for f*ck's sake." I muttered.

"I miss you too, Mi Amore." Lumapit ito sa akin at niyakap ako. Ako naman ay nanatili lang na nakatayo at hindi sinagot ang yakap nito.

"What are you doing here, Chase?" Tanong ko nang alisin nito ang pagkakayakap sa akin.

Si Chase ang nag-iisang ex ko. We were together for three months and it's been like two years since we broke up and after that we remained friends. If you think its impossible to remain friends with your ex, then you are wrong. Hindi naman kasi talaga namin mahal ang isat-isa, naging kami lang nang dahil sa tuksuhan, kaya naman three months lang ang itinagal ng relasyon namin.

We broke up because I found out he was in tinder. I wasn't angry at him because I was in tinder too. The irony, natatawa nalang ako kapag naalalang nahuli namin ang isat-isa na may account sa tinder.

"I'm here for you." He winked. A lot of girls would definitely fall from that ocean blue eyes of him.

"Oh shut up." Hindi siya ang tipo ng taong lilipad mula sa Canada hanggang dito sa Pilipinas para lang makita ako. We might be friends but he wouldn't do that for me and neither do I.

"Is that hard to believe that I'm here for you." I raised a brow so he sighed and told me the truth himself. "Fine, I'm here for grandma. Family's visiting for two weeks. I remember you used to live here and it's just five hours drive from our province so I thought I should surprise you. Were you surprised?"

"Hell yes!" I smiled. "You're such a dork, did you really drive five hours?"

"Of course not. I boarded a bus." He replied, scratching the back of his head.

Chase is half Canadian, half Filipino but he's still got his father's blue eyes and light skin and he never learned how to speak tagalog even though I tried teaching him before.

"How'd you know I am here?" Tanong ko.

"I called your mom."

"I still can't believe you traveled five hours. Really? That's so not you, Chase."

"Come on, Mi Amore you just never realized that I'm that lovable."

"Oh shut up, buttface." I said, rolling my eyes. He calls me Mi Amore and I calls him whatever insult I feel like calling him. It's just the way we treat each other.

"Just treat me to dinner, I'm starving." Inakbayan ako nito.

Dahil limang oras bumyahe yung tao at nakokonsensiya ako ay dinala ito ito sa mang inasal. Mainly because I am also starving and I need unli rice. The high-end restaurants here doesn't offer unli rice and I I am f*cking starving.

Habang kumakain ay napailing nalang ang lalaking crew nang tawagin to ito sa ika-limang pagkakataon para bigyan ako ng kanin samantalang si Chase ay nakatatlong kanin lang. Hindi naman ito maarte at sarap na sarap nga sa kinakain niya. He obviously know na matakaw akong kumain since we've been friends for a long time and he just doesn't care or he's already used to it.

I burped and rub my tummy while Chase only laughed.

"That was the best chicken I've ever had! Why do we not have this in Canada?" He exclaimed, his blue eyes almost sparkling.

"I know right. Aren't I the best?" I smirked.

"Yeah sure." He agreed because he doesn't really have a choice. "So what are you doing in the mall with your pajama."

"It's not pajama, idiot. It's called pambahay." Sagot ko pagkatapos ay may bigla akong naisip. Since he's a guy and he might know what another guy wants, why not ask him to help me find a gift to Ashton.
