Jay-jay's POV
1...2....3...4...5...ughhh this is frustrating.
I am locked inside my room now. I haven't stepped out of my room after getting home. I'm waiting for Kuya Angelo to leave so I can sneak out of the house. But he was still downstairs. I can hear his voice. Talking to tita Gemma about business. Discuss your business some other time please.
I got startled when my phone started ringing. That kid(Ci-N) changed my ringtone again. I'm gonna report you to Kuya. I glanced at my phone. It was the king obviously. I waited a few seconds before answering the call or he might think I'm desperate to meet him.
"Hello?" I whispered.
"Why are you whispering?" He whispered back. Maybe he was teasing me again.
"Kuya is still home. I can't go out right now." I whispered again.
"Do you want me to come inside?" He whispered again dramatically.
Stop whispering. It tickles my ears even when you're on the phone.
"No don't!!" I warned him."Just wait a little bit. I'll try to sneak out."
"Okay.. don't make me wait too long. Your man is thirsty."
"Son of a..... I'll smack you when I come out."
"Pro...." He started
"Stop."
"Fa..."
"Your head!."
"Ni..."
"Shut up!"
"Ty"
"My ass" I shouted on the phone.
"Two." He counted.
"I won't go out if you don't stop teasing." I threatened him.
"Okay okay fine...calm down lioness I'm kidding...or maybe not." He said laughing.
"You..." I started but he hung up already.
I peeked out of my room to hear if Kuya was still there. No he wasn't. I couldn't hear him anymore... that means he left. Yayyy...path clear. I glanced around before sneaking out of my room. I took my shoes on my hand so that I don't make any noice. I was almost at the front door when someone called me from behind.
"Jay..." It was kuya Angelo...
Shit....I thought he already left.
I turned around very slowly and gave him an innocent look. And my eyes widened and I dropped my shoes. Not because of kuya. Because of the man standing tall behind him.
Keifer....
What was he ding here?? Didn't I tell him to wait outside?
"Keifer said that it's Mica's birthday and he came to pick you up. Is that true??" Kuya asked me.
I glanced at Keifer. That shameless man winked at me. I nodded even though I didn't know when was Mica's birthday.
"Yes, Kuya." I answered sweetly.
Kuya glanced at Keifer and then back at me.
"Okay....but no drinking....no staying out late." He warned me.
Then he turned to Keifer and whispered something in his ear. Keifer's expression was normal so I was curious what did Kuya tell him. Did he threaten him?
When we walked out of the house he opened the car door for me. I got into the passenger seat. When he started the car I finally took out a long breath I was holding.
"Why did you lie to Kuya?" I asked him.
He shrugged and said,"I didn't lie to him."
"What do you mean?"
"It's really Mica's birthday. Calix called me and told me to take you there with me."
"Oh." I mumbled.
So it wasn't really a date. He was taking me to Mica's birthday.
"But...." He spoke again smiling mischievously. "We'll go on a date first and then we'll go to Mica's birthday."
I didn't know why but I was blushing. Even though I tried to hide it,it was obvious.
"So where do you wanna go Mrs. Watson?" He asked me.
Not this name again please.
"I thought you were going to decide the place since you are the one who planned the date."
"Fair...."
He thought for a moment. The car stopped at the red light.
"So you're saying you're happy with whatever place I choose?"
"Yes."
"So...." He leaned closer to me and looked at me biting his lip."Should we go and get a hotel room?" He asked me in a low husky voice.
"Are you crazy!!" I pushed him away.
He winced at that.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Nothing." He answered to quickly.
"Are you hiding something?" I asked again.
"No." He replied. His eyes on the road.
"Keifer." He didn't response.
"Keifer!" Still nothing.
"Keifer,stop the car!!"
He was doing this on purpose. Okay if you're stubborn then I'm stubborn too.
"Keifer!! Stop the car or I'll jump out!" I shouted.
That worked. He stopped the car at the side of the road. We sat there in silence for a full minute. Then I started unbuttoning his shirt.
He started protesting. Pushing my hands away.
"What are you doing jay??!"
He tried to hold my wrist but I smacked his hands away.
When I unbuttoned the last button and pulled his shirt that's when I saw it. The left side of his stomach was bandaged. That's why he sounded like that yesterday. Like he was struggling to speak. And all this time he was pretending like he was okay. Was he shot? Or stabbed? What happened that I don't know.
"Why Keifer?" I asked. My tears were already dropping.
He reached for me and wiped my tears."Jay...hey...I can explain." He tried to convince me.
"I don't want your explanation!! I hate you!! You were hiding this all this time!! And yesterday you lied to me that you were okay!! Why Keifer Why?!" I yelled at him. I know I was being rude. But he deserved it.
He took my face on both of his hands and made me look at him even though I tried to push his hands away.
His voice was soft when he spoke. The kind of soft he used only with me.
"I didn't want to worry you that's why I didn't tell you. Also you were so excited for the date. I didn't wanna ruin it. We couldn't have our date last time when we planned it. I couldn't let it happen again. I'm sorry okay?"
Why are like this Keifer?? You always find something to convince me. To make my heart calm. Even when you're hurting.
