Flames Of Deception (Levrés Series #6)

Kabanata 10

I stared at their smiling faces. They were all smiles while I can't even lift the side of my lips. Because I'm not pleased that they are here right now. Tell me again, why are they here? Who told them that I'm here?

"We asked Tita Destiny the address of this mansion. Because Candice doesn't want to tell us!" Naomi said.

"I'm so glad to see you again, Snorri," Timber said while smiling.

Naomi, Timber and Veronica are here in our mansion. Mga kaibigan ko sila at mga sikat din na artista kagaya ko.

Nagulat na lang ako noong tumawag si Naomi sa akin at sinabi na nasa tapat sila ng aming mansiyon. Hindi sana ako maniniwala nang una kung hindi niya lang binanggit iyong itsura ng aming mansiyon.

And now I found out that my mother was the culprit. She told them the address of our mansion here.

"Dwayne is on his way here too! Nahuli lang siya dahil may inasikaso pa sa kanila," sabi ni Naomi.

Dwayne Velasquez is my friend too. I met him in my junior highschool. He is Tito Solomon's son, my Daddy's friend.

Humalukipkip ako. Nakaupo silang lahat ngayon sa aming sofa habang nakatayo naman ako sa kanilang harapan. Hindi ko pa sila iginigiya sa kanilang mga kwarto dahil nag-iisip pa ako.

I really want them to leave but I don't want to be rude. Pero nangangamba ako na baka may isang makakilala sa kanila kay Kyner.

Kyner is in his room right now. Taking a shower. Pero pagtapos niya ay lalabas iyon agad para manatili sa tabi ko.

"Snorri doesn't want us here. Are you living here with your boyfriend?" Veronica smirked at me.

And I'm still confused as to why she's here. We are not that close. Nag-uusap lang kami paminsan-minsan kapag may project kami ng magkasama. She's Naomi's cousin.

"Is that true? You're living here with your boyfriend?" Naomi asked.

They all stared at me. Anticipating my answer. Hindi ako kumibo. Iniisip ko pa rin ang palusot na gagawin ko kung may isa sa kanila na kilala si Kyner.

"Well, I guess, hindi naman siguro seryoso ang relasyon niyo Snorri?" Timber said while chuckling.

My head whipped to his direction when I smell that familiar perfume. Nakita ko si Kyner na palapit sa pwesto namin. Agad kong nilingon ang mga kaibigan ko. Lahat sila ay nakatingin kay Kyner. Naomi and Veronica's jaw were dropped.

"Who is he, Snorri? Is he your boyfriend?!" excited na tanong ni Naomi.

Sinipat ko ang mga ekspresyon ng kanilang mukha. Walang bahid ng pagkakakilala kay Kyner. They didn't know him!

"Oh my. He's so handsome!" Veronica murmured.

"This is Kyner," pakilala ko noong makalapit si Kyner sa amin. "Kyner, these are my friend, Naomi, Veronica and Timber. Mga artista rin sila kagaya ko."

I glanced at Kyner. His eyes were fixed on Timber. Their face were serious while staring at each other.

"Nice to meet you," Kyner said in a baritone.

Veronica stood up while grinning. "Hi! I'm Veronica Cruz!"

Inangat ni Veronica ang kamay niya sa harapan ni Kyner. He politely shook her hand. Agad din naman binawi ni Kyner ang kamay. Veronica pouted a bit.

"And I'm Naomi Cruz!" sabi lang ni Naomi at kumaway.

"I'll take you guys to your room," sabi ko at naglakad na.
