I just stood there looking at them as if I'm just Joao's friend na binibisita siya.

Kinukurot kurot ni Sue ang pisngi ni Joao na mukhang gustong-gusto niya din ang ginagawa sakanya.

Wow. Just. Wow.

Tinignan ko lang sila ng ganun, oo, para akong nanunuod ng teleserye ng dalawang bida na naghaharutan. Nakakakilig diba?

"Let's eat this at the table..." my mind was cut off ng naramdaman ko ang mga kamay ni Joao sa bewang ko.

"Sue, mind if you join the others at the living room...while me and my girl will have a mini date at the dining room..." sabi ni Joao habang nararamdaman kong kinukurot-kurot niya ang aking bewang.

He knew I was jealous.

Buti naman alam niya, how dare he and his friend acted like that infront of me a while ago?

Padabog akong naglakad papuntang dining table habang nilaklak ang Monster Float.

Muntik na kong masamid ng nabigla ako sa sobrang lamig ng iniinom ko.

"Woah, chill, Amara..." narinig ko ang boses ni Joao sa likod ko.

Pero pinagpatuloy ko ang ginagawa ko. Nobody can stop me from doing this, hindi ko naman siya pinigilan sa pinag gagagawa niya kanina so hindi din ako magpapatalo.

Manigas ka jan.

"Hey..." marahas niyang hinawkan ang siko ko na sanhi ng pagkatigil ko sa pagiinom.

Hindi ko siya pinansin.

"I'm glad I know your attitude so well,Amara. I bet a thousand bucks nagseselos ka kanina..." at tumawa siya.

So ano, lahat nalang talaga sakanya nakakatawa ah? Eh paano kung sinapak ko siya?

Makatry nga.

Pero Joke.

"Kausapin mo ako please..." malambing na sinabi niya while looking at me with that cute eyes.

Alam mo, hindi tatalab yan sa akin. Not now.

"Eat." simple kong sinabi without looking at him.

I heard him chuckled and sat across from where I was seating.

"How did you know I like nuggets?" He gasps as he open the plastic.

Hindi ako sumagot. Sige kausapin mo yung hangin.

"Amara, if you don't like silent treatments then mas lalo naman ako." he said in a grumpy voice.

He sounds like a kid, nakakainis.

Kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi ko para itago ang ngiting namunuo.

"C'mon, I miss talking to you, it's been..." napatigil siya at sinilip ang relo niya, "It's been 2 hours, 36 minutes and 5, 4 seconds since we talked on the phone." he pouted and looked at me.

"Kaibigan ko lang naman si Sue eh." pinatong niya ang ulo niya sa kamay niya, while looking at me.

I just look at him too, sige, staring contest ba gusto mo? Hindi ako magpapatalo jan.

Habang tinitignan niya ako may naghahalong ngiti sa labi niya pero sa akin wala.

I'm not in the mood, Joao.

Umirap nalang ako, kakain nalang ako.

"Alright. You're jealous, I know. I'm sorry okay? Ngayon, stop acting like a child, Amara." naiinis niyang sinabi.

"I am not a child, Constancia." giit ko.

"Then stop this. I hate you seeing like this...You know Sue is just a friend and you're the only one alright?" his voice became soft amd gentle.
