TAKIPSILIM: Jian Glenn Villareal-Cardejas

xxii duo

Chapter 22

Hindi ako nagpasundo sa kaniya kaya nagcommute ako papunta sa building niya. Pagkababa ko sa jeep ay nakita ko siya sa di kalayuan. I decided na huwag na muna lumapit dahil sa mga kasama niya. He’s with another guy. Isa na doon si kuya Elope. I saw the way they talk and Jian laughing with them. Medyo basa pa ang buhok niya habang kitang-kita ko ang hikaw sa kaliwang tainga niya. I don’t know na he’s already wearing earring pala.

He’s biting his lips not to surpass his smile while holding a lollipop. With his black loose shirts, black cargo pants, and a black and white sneakers he’s totally a hot fine gorgeous man right now. Damn! I can see how his style is like his Daddy Kipper while his aura is screaming like his Daddy Gavin. His physical features are really from his parents. Oh, to have both the genes of Villareal and Cardejas.

When his eyes landed where I was, I just gave him a half-smile while biting my lower lip.

Kaagad siyang sumenyas na lumapit ako kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi lumapit sa kaniya. Ngumiti naman kaagad ako kay kuya Elope.

“Good morning, Lex. Paano ba iyan, Ji? Una na kami.” Tumango naman si Jian. “Nga pala, Lex. Si Xell pala.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Lex.” Ngumiti naman ako saka tumango. “Sorry. Mukhang nagmamadali na kasi ang baby boy namin, Hope next time we can also bond. Enjoy kayo at ingat, Jian.”

“I know. Sorry, kuya Xell. Next time sama na ako.”

Nasabi sa akin dati na isa si kuya Elope sa mga friends ni ate Tistianna. Walang girl friend ang ate ni Jian but a lot of guys. At mukhang isa na rin dito si kuya Xell.

“Isama mo na rin si Lexus.”

Jian nodded and I just smiled at them.

“Ingat po.”

After nilang makaalis ay inaya na ako papasok ni Jian. Pagpasok namin sa room niya ay kaagad na bumuntot si Yanyan sa kaniya. Kaagad niya naman itong kinarga.

"You're wearing a black shirt, Jian." Doon na lang niya iyon napansin. "Kukuha ako ng tshirt mo. Continue your food. Malamig na ata."

"Kumain ka na ba?" I nodded. "I'm done."

"Then fix your mess. Kukuha ako ng tshirt mo."

Umakyat at pumasok na rin naman na ako sa k'warto niya. Kumuha lang ako ng puting loose shirts. I like him wearing a black but I love him wearing white.

After almost an hour ay umalis na rin kami. We're riding his motorcycle to go to the venue he just said a while ago where he's sister's friend, and his Dad are riding motorcycles for fun races and lessons. After a few hours we got into the circuit racing track.

I was amazed when I saw a racing track.

"Ba't walang ibang tao?" I asked when I saw nothing, just us. "Hindi mo naman siguro ito—"

"You're right. Dad planned all of this. Malamang sa malamang tayo lang dito and their staff. Mamaya they will be here. Now we'll pick your motor muna."

Someone assisted us when I was choosing the motor I'll be using. I saw a big silver and white big bike and I love it.

Jian made sure that I am wearing proper attire and he made sure that my helmet was secure before he instructed me. I know how to ride but I need more information on this one.

"Aangkas ako," he suggested.

"Nope. I told you, I know how to ride this one. I can drive it. You see how I follow your instructions, Ji."

"Wait for me. Sabay tayo."

I nodded.

He prepared his motor and his gear. Nang makaangkas na siya ay doon ko na rin inistart ang akin. Hindi ko binilisan ang takbo ko dahil alam sa sarili ko na nag-aadjust pa ako. Nakasunod at nakaalalay lang din sa akin si Jian. After an hour of driving it doon ko na ako nagkalakas ng loob na isakto sa bilis ang pagpapandar ko.
