Chasing Love (The Six Ladies Series #3)

"You're wrong, though."

My eyebrows raised as soon as I heard what he just said.

"Tawagan mo na manager mo, andami ko pang kailangang gawin." reklamo ko sa kanya.

"Calm down, babe." he laughed and picked up his phone from his pocket.

"Ew, ha?"

"Ouch, ha?" he even placed his hand on his chest, acting na para bang nasasaktan ito sa aking sinabi.

"OA mo, Brook. Anong nakain mo?"

"Pagmamahal mo." he laughed while typing something on his phone. I was about to protest when he spoke up again. "Lowbatt ako..."

I sighed. "Here." I handed him my phone. "Contact your manager."

"I don't know her number, though..." he smiled, sheepishly.

"Brook naman e." I glared at him.

"What? Totoo naman." he said innocently.

Wala na akong nagawa pa at hindi ko na lamang pinilit. How come hindi niya alam ang number ng manager niya? Ilang minuto na ang nakalipas at nasa loob pa din kami ng elevator. I opened my phone para libangin ang sarili ko.

"How are you these days?" Brook's soft voice made me look at him.

"Why'd you ask?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Bakit? May mali ba pag nagtanong ako?"

"I mean, hindi ka naman interesado sa buhay ko noon. Nakakapanibago."

He sighed and looked away. The atmosphere started to get awkward and all I can do is play with my phone. Pabalik balik lang ang scroll ko sa gallery kahit di naman talaga ako interesado sa mga pictures na nandoon. I just want to distract myself from him.

Kahit na matagal na kaming hindi naguusap ni Brook ay alam na alam ko na siya pa din ang tinitibok ng puso ko. I don't even know why kung bakit siya pa din. Kahit na ginawa ko na ang lahat para kalimutan siya ay sa kanya pa din bumabalik ang damdamin ko.

He's making me so damn crazy in love with him.

"10 minutes na ang nakalipas at wala pa ding rescue, hays." Brook sighed for the nth time.

"Baka brownout sa buong building or something." I said.

"Then they should rescue us here, delikado kaya."

"Kung alam mo lang sana ang number ng manager mo, edi kanina pa tayo nakalabas dito." I rolled my eyes at him.

I saw him smiling at me kaya kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya. "What?"

"Nothing..." he chuckled.

"Ang weird mo lately."
