TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 46

Part 46

Wala kaming masyadong magawa this past few days. All I can do is to spend my day with Darlene. I was inviting her to stay in my house but she refused, ayaw na matulog do'n, gusto niya lang mag-stay para makasama ang mga kapatid ko. She wants to stay in my condo.

Wala na rin kaming klase. Tinamad na siguro magturo ang mga Teachers.

While the weeks passed, I know she's still confused about Iris. Wala naman siyang dapat ika-curious... though may ibang mali na nangyayari. Because to be honest, something is happening between Iris and Darius.

"Alam mo ba kung saan pumupunta si Darius?"

Bakit ba tuwing umaalis ako laging nagpupunta 'to sa condo ko? Hindi naman nagpapakita kay Darlene.

I faced Lara before getting my keys. "I don't know where he's going but one thing is for sure, he's with Iris for some reason."

She stopped a bit. "Ah, 'yong babaeng siguro 'yon ang nakita ko sa resto no'n palagi..." she murmured.

"What?" I asked.

"Wala, wala," iling niya. "Uuwi na lang ako, busy pala siya do'n sa Iris niya," a forced smile formed on her lips.

"They don't have a relationship."

"Wala akong pakialam sa kaniya!" She rolled her eyes. She was about to leave but she faced me. "Pabigay nga kay Michelle, hindi ko kasi siya kayang harapin," she gave me a paper bag. "Alis na ako!" Nagmadali siyang dumiretso papunta sa elevator.

My eyes went down inside the paper bag and I saw a lot of crinkles, and also a chuckie and yakult drinks.

I feel bad for Lara, she saw Darius with Iris. Hindi ko naman alam ang rason kung bakit sila magkasama dalawa. Si Darlene naman halatang walang alam sa ginagawa ng kapatid niya.

Ang manhid niya talaga.

Pumasok ako sa unit ko at nakita ko siyang may ginagawa sa living room. Her hands were so dirty because of the paint, may hawak pa siyang paint brush.

"Ang ganda! Pero mas maganda pa rin ako," she murmured.

Pinatong ko ang binili ko para sa kaniya at ang bigay ni Lara. I stopped behind her while watching her doing something... oh she's doing some painting.

"Ay, putangina!" Nakahawak siya sa dibdib nang makita ako. "Ano ba naman 'yan, bal! Nakakagulat ka!"

"Wala naman akong ginagawa, nakatayo lang ako," I kissed her forehead then naupo ako sa sofa.

"Kaya nga ako nagulat, e! Akala ko naman kung sino na 'yong nakatayo sa likod ko." Nakahawak pa rin siya sa dibdib niya. She breathed heavily.

I chuckled. "Ang cute mong magulat."

Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. "'Yon lang ang sinabi mo?"

"Uhm, aside from that. You're cute." I smiled at her.

Her cheeks flushed. "Ulol!" She rolled her eyes.

Ayaw niya pa?

I leaned on the back rest. "Come here, baby. Sit here." Tumayo siya at naupo sa tabi ko. "No, not on the sofa. Sit on my lap."

Nilingon niya ako. "At bakit?" Nagtanong pa siya, e, naupo na siya. "Gago, baka madumihan ang shirt mo, may paint ang kamay ko." She showed me her hands.

"Edi hubarin mo kapag nadumihan," I suggested pero nakatanggap ako ng batok mula sa kaniya. "Baby, you're so brutal on me. You always hurt me using your hands."

She stopped a bit. "Edi sorry na."

"'Yon lang? You won't kiss me, my love?" I hugged her using both of my arms. I put my chin on her shoulder, giving her a kiss on her cheeks. "Kiss."
