MY BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND

Chapter 24 - Fallin' All In You

Deanna Wong.

Omg.  Michelle is going to kiss me.

Naghintay na lang ako sa labi nya. Expecting it to touch mine.

But I saw Jema's face as I closed my eyes.

Beeep. Beeep. My phone is vibrating. Natigil ang sana'y gagawin namin.

Whew. That was close.

"Ahmmmm, let me get that call." I said.

"No. Let it ring." Mitch replied as she looked at my lips again.

I stood firm this time. I was able to push her away from me and grabbed my phone.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko pagkakita kung sino ang tumatawag sa akin. Si Jema lang naman ito.

Inayos ko muna ang sarili ko kahit hindi nya ako nakikita at nagpaka seryoso bago ko ito sinagot.

Bakit parang guilty ka Wong?

Hindi naman guilty tawag dun.  I just want to appear normal sa pandinig nya.

Ang problema, hindi man lang kami nakapag usap ng matagal because she sensed that I have company. Eto kasing si Michelle, ang ingay.

Before I knew it, wala na si Jessica sa kabilang linya. Wait, did she just hang up on me? Damn.

Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa, malulungkot o maiinis ako.

Ang gulo ng utak ko, to be honest.

Ayusin mo kasi, Wong.

Para akong natauhan nang mapagtanto ko kung ano na sana ang nangyari sa amin ni Michelle if Jessica didn't call.

Wrong timing naman kasi.

Ang alin Wong? Yung pagtawag ni Jema o yung naudlot na pagki KISS nyo sana ni Michelle?

Naghahalikan na ba kami o mas higit pa doon ang ginagawa namin?

"Deans?" Michelle asked.

"Ahhh. Michelle. Hahaha." sagot ko sabay baba ng aking phone sa table.

"What's funny? Who is that? Bakit mo pinatayan ng telepono?" tanong nya uli.

Ako ang pinatayan huhu. Pero hindi ko ito sinabi sa kanya siempre.

"Uh uh. Nothing. That's Jessica." sagot ko.

"Jessica? As in Jessica, Peter's fiancée?" she asked.

I nodded my head and sat down opposite to her.

"What does she wants from you? Why are you still in touch with her? Sabi ni Peter nung last kaming nagkausap, hindi pa raw kayo nagkita ng personal." sabi nya.

Andaming tanong ni Michelle, huh.

Pero tumimo sa isip ko yung sinabi nya. Sinabihan sya ni Peter na hindi pa kami nagkikita ni Jessica sa personal.

When was the last time they saw each other?  Ito na ba ang tamang panahon to ask her about it?

"Ano ang gusto ng babaeng iyon sayo Deans?" tanong nya uli.

Hmmm.

It looks like she is not a fan of Jema. May bad blood between them? Saka ko na lang nga sya tanungin.

"I don't know coz the line was cut up. Wait, I'll call her back." sagot ko.

Sumimangot naman sya pagkarinig sa sinabi ko.

But Jema's line is busy. I frustratingly and silently cursed.

"What's that Deans, are you saying something?" tanong nya uli habang lumalapit sa akin.
