CHAPTER 29

"Are you listening?"

I looked at Sandro. He looks so annoyed. Can't help but to laugh at him.

"Why are you laughing?"

This is the first time na makita kong ganito ni Sandro.

"I'm sorry." I said while smiling.

"I'm talking but you're not listening to me" he sulking right now. The mighty Sandro is sulking.

I held his hand "I'm sorry okay? May iniisip lang"

"And what the hell are you thinking?" He raised his eyebrow.

I pinch his cheeks. "Secret"

We decided to eat outside because we don't have any classes but my mind kept on wandering around because of Steven. I feel like he wants to tell me something.

Curiosity kills you know. I always end up overthinking.

"What are you thinking?" He asked again.

"Nothing. Let's watch some movies" pag iiba ko ng usapan.

"I need to tell you something"

I don't know why pero kinabahan ako bigla. I hate it when it comes to a situation like this.

"We have a drag race tonight"

"What?" Gulat na tanong ko.

"Drag race" pag uulit na nito.

Kunot noo akong tumingin sakanya "What are you saying?"

"Drag race" he kept saying.

"Its dangerous, Sandro"

I remember one of our classmate had an accident because he joined a Drag race and he ended up losing one of his foot and he regret it.

He tap my shoulder "Its not. I've been doing this for almost 5 yrs now"

"Don't you dare attend that freakin drag race. I don't care how long you've been doing that! It's freakin dangerous Sandro"

He glared at me "Allison"

I looked away "Kung gusto mo fine. But don't expect me to cheer you up and talk to you after that"

"I'll be okay I promise"

"No. Its still a No. But if you insist. Fine! But don't talk to me"

Kinuha ko ang bag ko at tumayo. "Im going home"

I hate things that are too risky. Drag race? Duh. That's dangerous.

"Stop acting like a kid"

Parang pumutok ang ugat sa ulo ko dahil sa sinabi nya. Me? Acting like a kid? I'm just worried about him!

I glared at him.

"A kid? Fine"

Nag walked out talaga ako. The nerve of him to call me a kid. Am I not allowed to get mad when I'm his girlfriend?

I turn off my phone because he keep calling me. Do you think I'll answer your call? Manigas ka!!

I didn't go home dahil alam ko naman na pupunta sa bahay si Sandro without my permission.

"Where are you?"

I called Kalee and asked her to meet me but she's busy dahil may family gathering daw sila. So I have no one to accompany me right now. Nahihiya akong tawagan si Grayson. Hindi pa din nya alam na kami na ni Sandro.

Should I asked Steven to meet me? Hell no. He's talkative and for sure isusumbong nya ako kay Sandro kung nasaan ako. Knowing him. Napaka daldal nyang tao.

This was always one of the disadvantages of not having a lot of friends. But its okay though. Sanay na akong mag isa.

I stayed at a coffee shop and read some books.

"You should try reading this ma'am" The waiter gave me a book.

"Magugustuhan nyo po" naka ngiting wika nya at dahan dahang ibinaba ang coffee na inorder ko.

"Okay. Thank you"

After I read the book that they recommended. I looked at my watch and it's already 7 in the evening. Time flies so fast. Ako nalang ang natira sa mga kasama kong pumasok kanina.

Tumuloy kaya si Sandro? Napa iling na lamang ako. Knowing him, alam ko naman na gagawin at gagawin pa din nya ang gusto nya.

Hindi sya makikinig saakin kahit ilang beses kong sabihin na huwag na syang tumuloy.

"That jerk. He's a pain in ass"

Should I open my phone? For sure he sent a lot of messages.

I don't have any choice. I open my phone and block his number for him not to contact me.

Answer your phone lady.

Won't you open your phone? Talk to me.

Okay. I'm sorry for calling you a kid okay? You just need to trust me. I know myself. I wont even put my life in danger.

Allison.

I'm getting annoyed Reese Allison Cohen.

Damn it. Tell me. Where the hell are you? I'm here at your house.

ALLISON! 😠😠

I can't help but to laugh. He knows how to use emoticon huh? Hay, I really really hate acting like this but I'm just freaking worried about him. I know marunong syang mag drive but I don't like taking risk. You'll never know what will happen.

Nagulat ako dahil bigla nalang tumunog ang phone ko and Steven is calling me.

I know it's Sandro.

I answered it. "Yes?"

"Where are you?"

Tama ako, it's Sandro.

"This kiddo is having fun somewhere"

"Stop fooling around Allison"

I bit my lower lips and I stop talking.

"I'm not going okay?"

Tsk. "Hang up the call na. I'm done talking to you"

I can hear him taking a deep breath. I know he's trying to calm himself. Kung nasa harapan nya lang ako siguro kanina pa nya ako sinipa "Im sorry for calling you a Kid. Hm?"

So you know how to ask for forgiveness.

"Go home or do you want me to pick you up?"

I can't even imagine Sandro doing things like this. Gusto ba nya talaga ako? To tell you the truth, there are times when I can't help but to doubt his feelings about me.

I can't help it.

"You don't need to. I'm going home. I'll just finish my coffee"

"I'll wait for you."

I hang up the call and finish my coffee and decided to go home. Sandro is waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" Tanong saakin ni Sandro pag kababa ko ng taxi.

I just look at him. I'm so tired walking around.

"Allison" The way he call my name. It sounds like a music in my ear.

Ang corny mo na Reese.

"Let get inside" I said.

He grabbed my hand, pull me closer and gave me a warm hug.

"I love you and I'm sorry for getting annoyed and calling you a kid."

I hug him back. "Im just worried about you. I do not want to see you getting hurt Sandro. I know someone who almost lost his life because of that freakin drag race"

He gently caress the back of my head and whispher "I love you and I'm so sorry for worrying you"
