Montoya is just looking at the files he gave to Adrian, in his mind he is too thankful that this man choses his agency to look out for Ginger's background. Dahil doon, nalaman niya ang buong katotohan.
He wanted to tell Adrian but in his mind, it's too soon. Hindi sa nag aalangan siya sa lalaki dahil mapag kakatiwalaan naman ito kahit papaano but for the sake of his little sister.
He calls her sister though she's his cousin by his father's side. She was Ginger Elise Montoya Alarie.. His cousin who was lost when she was five through sea accident.
Years that he wanted to find her, nagsimula noong ipinatayo niya ang kompanya niya but unluckily, he didn't found her.
Si Adrian lang pala ang tulay kung paano niya ito mahahanap. Nagpakahirap pa siya. Kung sana alam niyang sa ganitong kadaling paraan lang pala, sana hinila na lang niya ang lalaki papunta sa babae.
“Love is all about timing, you know. If you keep hesitating like that, you’ll never get her.” anang Pierre sa kaibigan na problemado kung paano magsabi ng nararamdaman.
"Nasasabi mo lang 'yan dahil malakas ka sa amin. E, paano naman ako na kulang na lang lumuhod mula bukana ng simbahan hanggang sa altar para lang mapansin ako ng babaeng special sa' kin?" Adrian snorted.
Pagkatapos ng gabing inis na inis siya dahil sa nakabukas na bintana at nalaman niyang palagi itong walang damit sa loob ng bahay niya, he called Montoya to pull out his men to look over his woman.
Pinababantayan niya kasi ito just for safety purposes at naiinis siya sa nalaman! In his mind, no body can have a chance to see his private belongings and that includes Ginger.
Geoffrey groaned "Nagsisimba ka ba? Kulang na lang mag apoy ka kapag pumasok ka sa simbahan hayup ka. Magsimba ka kasi minsan" anito.
Adrian just pouted. Geoffrey can kill him through words kaya hindi na lang siya umimik pa.
Balewala ang pagsagot-sagot sa lalaking 'to kaya naman hindi na lang siya nakipag talo pa. But the worst was, RR was there too. "Three times ka lang yata papasok sa simbahan e" anito.
Geoffrey was one hell game on what is going on kaya naman sumagot na naman ito "Kailan?"
RR smirk "binyag niya, Kasal niya, at —"
"—patay niya?" Geoffrey added.
RR nodded "Hell yeah!"
Adrian just sighed. Wala talaga siyang asahan sa dalawang ito. Basta kabulastugan, number 1 ang mga ito, walang papatalo.
"Ano, Bautista way na? O kaya pa ng powers mo?" it was Jake who seemed to be busy on his laptop pero nakikinig din naman pala, o di ka naman ay mabilisan lang talaga ang pandinig kapag chismis ang usapan.
Mga hinayupak..
Adrian tssk "Kakayanin. Ano pa nga ba?" aniya saka uminom ng beer na hawak.
He asked them to come over his house since he was banned to enter to the village's hall dahil nga sa kagagawan ni Geoffrey, e paano ba naman kasi, they bet for 1M just for him to put beer on the pool, ang masaklap, Shaina was the one who was trapped, at hindi si MN.
He bought cases of beer, na siyang ginawa niyang tubig— the pool was become half-half at ang plano, MN would be the first who will take a 'tour' at hindi ang mga babaeng pinsan.
Ayun tuloy, Shaina was the one who banned him for 6 days and today is the final day pero dahil kailangan niya ng kausap, napilitan siyang yayain ang mga ito kahit pa ang gugulo ng mga baliw.
Wala e. Siya ang malapit ng mabaliw sa kaiisip sa babaeng namimis na naman niya!
"Bet na naman?" it was Geoffrey.
"f**k no! Busit ka, ako ang napapahamak sa kagagawan mong hinayupak ka!" anang Adrian.
Geoffrey grin "Killing me softly ka lang kasi.. Kumbaga sa gamit, cotton ka"
"Atleast hindi candy" Adrian said then smirk "Hindi madaling matunaw, sa tingin niya lang ako natutunaw—hell!"
Batok ang inabot niya mula kay RR"hugot mo bulok namo ka! " anito.
" Okay nga 'yan e, hindi puro baon" anang Jake na hindi nila alam kung anong sense of the body nito ang gumagana, his eyes on the laptop and his ears on them.
Baka sabay.
Adrian drink his beer again, then he catch the bottle of whiskey Montoya threw. "Gago, mahal 'yan! Buti pa ang bigas napupulot kapag nabuhos e' yan hindi!" sigaw niya saka mabilisang hinipan ang bote sa kamay niya "You're safe" anito sa bote.
Thadeius tsskd habang umiiling "Wala na. Nabaliw ka na ng tuluyan. Pero okay lang 'yan, maranasan mo na din ang mga pinagdaanan namin. Akala mo ha. Maka salita ka noon, wagas! O, ano ka ngayon?" sambit nito.
Adrian raised his middle finger to Thadeius and just groaned, took his hair at sinabunutan iyon.
Mas lalo namang nang asar ang mga kausap. Thadeius took his phone and took a video of him, making the most impossible thing in his dictionary and that is, ang saktan ang sarili niyang buhok na mahal na mahal niya!
"Damn man! You got it bad huh?" anang Jake na kanina pa pala naka tingin sa kanila— sa kanya lang pala— at tila ba iniimbestigahan siya sa klase ng tingin nito "That's the real definition of love my man!" he added saka nag thumbs up sa pinsan. "Don't ask us if what is love kasi naman magkakaiba tayo ng puso at nararamdaman. Pero okay 'yan, maranasan mo man lang ang mabaliw paminsan minsan" he added and drank his beer saka inatupag na naman ang laptop nito.
Geoffrey took Adrian's hand saka hinila ito "Saan tayo pupunta?" takang tanong niya. Worst is, nahihilo na siya dahil sa dami ng ininom niya but this fuxkin cousin of his's is so fuckin hard headed at hinila siya ng hinila!
Nang makalabas silang lahat sa bahay niya, doon siya pinaupo sa tricycle at ang pwesto niya? Sa motor pa!
Ayoko pang mamatay!! Taragis ka Geoffrey!!
Kilala niya ang pinsan, he can drive all, fly a plane but this? "Hell no!" sigaw niya saka napakapit sa t-shirt ng pinsan.
"RR! f**k! Drive the f*****g thing!" sigaw ni Montoya dahil kilala niya ang kaibigan.
He is a —monster!
Ayun! Karambola sila sa daan! Mabuti na lang at walang nasaktan sa kanila "Gago lang talaga! Till when will you concede that you don't know how to drive this?" hingal na sambit ni RR.
Geoffrey just grin "Experience is the best teacher my boy!"
"Tae mo!" sigaw ni Jake "Gago ka, kapag ako nasabon mamaya, lagot ka sa'kin shuta ka!"
Geoffrey shrugged his shoulder "Banlawan pa kita" he said flatly.
Adrian just focused on how he will straighten his body, masakit ang balakang niya at nahihilo pa siya pero kinaya niyang tumayo.. Gago amputa! He was so pissed but he didn’t talk more, less talk, less mistakes. And Geoffrey isn't a kind of man who will accept his fault just like that, daig pa nito si Jake kung magsalita!
Ang Pilipinas nga, naikokompara niya sa ibang bansa e, siya pa kaya? He just stood there and watch Geoffrey who just looking at his tricycle not knowing that on the side of the world, there's a woman who is waiting for his call..
Ginger is pouting dahil sa hindi niya mahintay hintay ang tawag ni Adrian, araw-araw naman itong tumatawag but today?
"Bakit ba sobrang busy yata 'yon?" nagmamaktol na sambit niya.
When she was on her work, she waited for his call and that was the whole day. Until now that it's already 8pm, there's still no call from him and it's pissing her off already.
The thing is, she doesn't know why she felt this way. Para bang normal na sa buhay niya ang palaging pagtawag ng lalaki sa kanya kahit pa sana hindi iyin ganoon.
There's no relationship between them and there's no reason for him to call her lalo naman there's no reason for her to feel piss when he doesn't call in a day.
Shuta.. Ano na naman ba ito Ginger? Girl, don't do anymore mistakes that will put us in such situations will you??
At dahil wala naman siyang mahintay, iniwan niya ang cellphone sa sala, pinatay niya iyon at pumasok sa kusina.
Naghanap siya ng pwede niyang lutuin though she's not yet hungry,mas maigi kasing may ginagawa siya kesa maghintay sa wala.
"Sa ganda kong 'to? Papa stress ako sa kanya? Huwag na uy!" she smirked and put the box of microwavable popcorn to the microwave and still murmuring while setting the timer " masarap lang nan siya!" she even made a pfft sound.
Sumandal siya sa lababo at humalukipkip habang paulit-ulit na nilaro ang sariling mga labi at naghihintay na maluto ang popcorn.
Minutes later and it's already done, she opened the microwave and took her snack saka kinuha ang popcorn ware and put it on there saka nag timpla ng iced tea at bumalik sa sala.
She stare at her phone, but then she didn't open it bagkus ang television ang pinag tuunan niya ng pansin.
She put it on the Chanel she knew that will fit her taste and that is a cartoon network saka humilata sa pahabang sofa at nag umpisang kumain ng kumain ng popcorn.
The minute she finishes the bucket, she stood up and went to the kitchen and took the other half of the box saka bumalik sa sala only to be startled when she saw Adrian in there! "Fuckinggg... Horse!! Anong ginagawa mo dito at paano ka nakapasok??" tili niya at patakbong lumapit sa lalaking ngayon ay humilata sa sofa kung nasaan siya kanina.
"I have my own ways" he shrugged his shoulder and stared at Ginger "Why is it that you always give me a heart problem? Don't you know that I almost took my helicopter just to come quickly when I couldn't call you?" seryoso nitong sambit.
Ginger just raised her brows, pilit nilalabanan ang saya na nagsimulang umusbong sa puso niya habang nakatitig sa lalaking seryoso ang mukha at mababanaag dito ang pag - aalala.
She doesn't want this kind of feelings. At nais niyang kitilin iyon ngayon pa lang. She's afraid to fall in love.. Lalo na sa isang Adrian.
Maloloka lang ako kapag nagkataon so self, filter naten feelings naten ha? Deal??
She nodded, deal my self.. She answered her own question, her own bet and own — mind..
"And why is that?" she said flatly.
Adrian just grin "Sweetheart, I feel so drained.. Can you please give my energy back?"
Napanganga lang ang babae sa kausap "What are you talking?" but still, she walks and went near Adrian at doon niya nalaman na nakainom pala ang lalaki
Kaya naman pala malakas loob e. Napasimangot na sambit niya sa sarili.. Haysst self.. Tigil na sa kaka asa ha?
She have a habit this past days, iyon ay ang kausapin, kainisan at pagsabihan ang sarili niya.
Hindi pa naman siya baliw sa pagkaka alam niya.
Adrian smiled, then chuckled "Ang bango mo naman sweetie —he even sniffed her neck down to her collar bones —hmmmn.. Amoy sibuyas" anito na nakapikit pa but he's giggling
What?? "I didn't cook onions. Popcorn pwede pa" bale walang sabi ng babae at umupo sa kandungan ng lalaki.
"Ah.. Patikim nga?" anang Adrian, still on his closed eyes.
Ginger just found herself staring at Adrian. The way he just put his face to her cleavage is just a little bit hotter. And ang paglalambing nito, parang normal na lang dito kung umasta.
"Lasing ka lang e. May problema ka ba?" aniya na lang kesa naman makipag bangayan pa siya sa lasing.
Bukas ka sa akin..
"Nope.. I'm not drunk" Adrian snorted.
"Kumain ka na?"
Adrian giggled "Kakain pa lang.. I want to eat you" anito sa mababang tono.
Gago. Makakakain ka ba sa itsura mo! Inis na sambit ni Ginger sa isipan. Because the truth is, kanina pa siya nag iinit!
Darang na siya sa mukha ng lalake sa pagitan ng dede niya. Ang mainit nitong hininga na pumapaypay sa balat niya ay nagbibigay sa kanya ng init.
She’s shivering as she kept on swallowing because her mouth is becoming dry. Lintik na alak na 'yann!!
Sa isip niya, kanina pa sana siya nagsasayaw sa sarap kung hindi nilasing ng alak ang lalaking ngayon ay naghihilik na!
"hindi ka nga lasing" she said and sighed as she didn't move even just a little just because she doesn't want him to be disturb
Ang lakas mo na yata sa'kin a.. Susko, magbabago na tayo self.. Huwag na marupok please...
