His Love Series 2: Love You Better

••Chapter 5••

"COLD SHOULDERS"

Brielle's PoV:

"Brielle! Stay away from him!"

Sabay pa kaming napaigtad ni Clement ng may pamilyar na boses na sumigaw sa may pintuan ng cake shop.

Then I saw Flynn with a scary frown stride towards our direction and suddenly slap Clement's hand away from my hand.

"Flynn, what are you doing here?" Takang tanong ko sabay baling sa kasama niya. "Kuya Bryleigh?"

"What the heck are you two doing?" Napatingin ulit ako kay Flynn ng tanungin niya nun si Clement.

"Wala kaming may ginagawang masama ni Brielle, Flynn. Tinatanong ko lang siya kung pwede akong manligaw." Kalmadong sagot ni Clement.

"You can ask her that shit without holding her hand." Flynn replied dangerously. "And no. I don't give you the right to court her."

Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa narinig na sinabi ni Flynn.

"Teka nga lang, kelan ka pa pwedeng mangealam sa magiging karelasyon ko?" I asked him with my eyebrow arching.

"May karapatan ako, Brielle, kaibigan kita." Sabi nito.

Pagak naman akong natawa. "Kaibigan lang kita, Flynn. Wala kang karapatan na mangealam sa buhay ko."

"What?" Parang natigilan na tanong nito.

"Besides... I already gave Clement my permission to court me. Maybe it's time for me to move on." Sabi ko.

Dahan-dahan na nawala ang galit sa mukha ni Flynn at nabalutan yun ng isang walang ka emo-emosyong mukha. What's with the sudden change of expression?

"Is that so?" Nakatiim bagang na saad nito. "Fine, if that's what makes you happy then fine."

Tumalikod na si Flynn at nagsimula ng lumabas sa cake shop. Napatingin naman ako kay kuya Bryleigh na nakatingin din sakin.

He sighed as he put his hands inside his pocket. "Kapag umiyak ka na naman dahil sa lalaking yan, sinasabi ko sayo, Brielle, don't ever come to my house crying."

Akmang tatalikod na din si kuya Bryleigh ng bigyan niya ako ng side glance habang nagsasalita.

"And one more thing... stop giving Flynn too much of a burden. Being your friend makes him stressful. Tigilan mo na ang pagtakbo sa kanya kapag may dinadala kang problema. He already done too much more than a friend can do."

Nakatanga lang kami ni Clement sa nilabasang pinto ni kuya. What's with them? Ano ba ang problema nila ngayon?

"I'm sorry, Clement." Hingi ko ng tawad sa kanya.

"It's fine." He said with a smile. "Basta bah, pinapayagan mo na akong manligaw sayo."

Tumawa naman ako sa kanya. "Oo nga. Why not give it a shot. Malay mo, our relationship will turn out well."

"Siguradong magiging perpekto ang relasyon natin." Sabi nito.

Ngumiti din ako. "Then better give your all when you court me."
