Page 10 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

I clear my throat, "Getting bolder, aren't we?" natatawa kong saad, trying to make it playful as much as possible.

His eyebrows lifted, "I meant it, Sevilliana." He drawled as he looked at me up and down.

Napalunok ako at wala sa sariling binasa ang labi. Gago ba sya?

"Shut the fuck up Knox," I uttered dismissively.

With his free hand he harshly grabbed my collar pulling me close to him. I meet his sharp yet unreadable eye. The corner of his lips rose.

"Cat got your tongue?" He scoffs, hindi man lang sya nag effort na itago ang pagkasarkastic sa boses sya.

Damn this guy.

Tinaas ko ang kamay ko habang nakangisi, despite the fact na nagulantang ako sa inasal nya. Agad na bumagsak ang mata ko sa mga labi nyang nanunuya.

I turned my eyes to his gaze, "Come on Villanueva, we both know na hindi mo kayang gawin yun," I challenged him. "Go on, do it if you have the guts," I added mockingly and licked my lips.

I thought he would back down, but I fret not. This one is tough, masyadong sakit sa ulo.

We both share an intense staring contest, his eyes cold while mine laced with malice and mockery. For a second I forgot that this person in front of me is a guy, all I can ever think of is to ravish this fucker alive and well.

"Cat may not have my tongue, but maybe your tongue can have it instead," I let out a rough, low chuckle, the sound rumbling like distant thunder, edged with a hint of amusement.

His eyes twitch and my grin grew even more wider. He pushed me harshly to the point na halos matumba na ako, but instead of getting mad humalakhak ako.

"You're disgusting, You're not even my type."

"And you're exactly my type, Mr. President." Pigil tawa kong saad. He just looked at me lazily.

"Disgusting."

I placed my right hand on my lips to try to cover my smirk. I tilted my head, "You're asking for it," kibit balikat kong saad.

He deadpanned me and turned his back to his sister.

"Tara na," aya nya sa kanyang kapatid. Her sister looked up to him, confused.

"Bakit? akala ko ihahatid tayo ng boyfriend mo?" she innocently asked. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig.

"Why would you say that?" His brother asked.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Kanina pa kayo nag-uusap ang lapit nyo kasi sa isa't-isa kaya akala ko mag kkiss na kayo."

And then it hit me, nanonood pala ang kapatid nya sa amin. Thinking about it makes me laughed inwardly, damn, ganon ba talaga kami sa mga mata nya? A couple whos talking about romantic things kahit na sa totoo halos patayin na ako ng kuya nya.

"Aren't you my Kuya's boyfriend?" baling ng bata sakin, her doe and innocent eyes landed on mine.

I crouched down and patted her head, "I don't swing that way baby girl, I was just teasing your brother," I explained. I prefer bigger tits and not bigger dick.

I looked up at him, his face was illuminated by the sun. I squinted my eyes, dahil nasisilaw ako. My mind started to drift when his eyes never left mine. Puta what's his deal?

Napalunok ako at binalik ang atensyon sa kapatid nyang busy kakakain ng Ice cream.

"Sa tabing dagat, nandon ang bahay namin." Knox voice rang kaya napatingala ulit ako. Nagtataka ko syang tinignan. Sensing my confusion, he cleared his throat. "Ihatid mo kami," he demanded?

Is he asking or demanding me? I grin, either way I don't care.

I flashed him a smile at tumayo para tapikin ang balikat nya, "Let's go?" aya ko at nauna na sa sasakyan.

Kinuha ko ang supot na dala-dala nya at aksidenting nagtama muli ang mga mga namin.

"Akin na," I whispered. Hinayaan nya lang akong kuhanin ang supot sa kamay nya.

After that I smiled at him, and I opened the door to the passenger seat for him and grabbed a wipes at binigay sa kapatid nya.

Nakabuka lang ang kamay nya habang nakanguso, I smile and went to her direction.

Yumuko ako at kinuha ang kamay nya, "Masarap ba?" tukoy ko sa Ice cream.

She nodded, her eyes fixed on her hand, "Opo, salamat, kelan mo po ako ulit ililibre?"

"Kaycee."

With just his brother's reprimanding voice she bit her lips and drew a peace sign in front of me. "Joke lang," she awkwardly chuckled.

I ruffle her hair, "It's fine, just asked me and I'll buy it for you. I do have a sister also just around your age and mahilig din sya sa ice cream kaya siguradong magkakasundo kayo non." I said.

Her eyes widen, "Talaga po?!" gulat at namamangha nyang sigaw. "May kapatid kayo? ano pong pangalan?"

"Elise. Elisiana Clementine Sevilliana, that's her name," A soft smile escaped my lips, I was the one who named her after all.

"Woah, that's a pretty name, feel ko napakaganda nya rin," she squeal.

I agree, "Yeah, she's pretty, very." Maganda yung kapatid ko pogi ako eh.

I patted her head again and opened the door to the back seat, I gently put her inside and fastened her seat belt. In my peripheral vision I caught Knox, attempting to sit in the back seat. I closed the door at umikot ako.

I grabbed his wrist, "What do you think you're doing?" kunot noong tanong ko.

He yanked my hand off of his wrist, "Uupo dito, hindi ba halata?"

Bigla akong napahawak sa beywang ko, I licked my lips and threw my head back. I brushed my hair up at problemado syang tinignan.

"Sa front seat ka," I insisted.

"Drive, Sevilliana." He commanded kaya mas lalong nagkasalubong ang kilay ko. Yayo ba ako nito?

"I-fine," I said defeatedly, I licked my lips and looked at him, full of hopelessness and sigh.

Bahala na nga. Sinarado ko muna ang pinto sa front sit bago pumasok at nagmaneho. Malapit lang ang bahay nila sa bahay namin, maybe about 20 minutes na walking distance, Sa subic beach.

When I spotted our house, I slowed down, "Bahay namin, so if you wanna visit me feel free," I caught his eye in the rear-view mirror kaya kinindatan ko sya.

"Nandyan po ba si Elise?" Excited na sabi ni Kaycee. Dumamba sya sa kapatid nya para mas makita ang bahay namin, dahil na sa left side ito at timing naman na don nakaupo si Knox. "Ang laki, may kabayo ba kayo dyan?"

I chuckle, "We have a few of them, nasa ranch nga lang," I answered at bahagyang minamata si Knox, for his reaction. I sigh when he didn't even looked at my way, bahala sya dyan. Ako ang naiinis sa kanya eh.

My goal is to pester him till I get on his nerves, pero bakit palang ako pa ang naiinis sa kanya?

Kaycee and I are the only one who's talking dahil ang magaling nyang kuya ayun, nakapikit ang mata. Bwesit na to. From the market to their house, it only took us 30 minutes reached our destination.

Nauna na akong lumabas para kunin ang dala nila sa likod, I roamed my eyes and saw a house, a decent distance from the ocean, It wasn't that big nor small, It was made of concrete and woods. It screams coziness.

Imagine living near the ocean where you can listen to the relentless songs that the waves are playing sounds nice. The morning sun hit the ocean, and I smiled as it glimmered like it held a thousand of gold underneath it.

"It's kinda nice in he----" My words got cut off when my phone rang.

Agad ko itong kinuha at sinagot ang tawag ng tatay ko.

"Where are you?" bungad nya.

I clear my throat, "At the beach."

"What are you doing there?" he said, laced with irritation and seriousness. "Get your ass here, right now." Utos nito at binabaan ako ng tawag.

Napalunok ako, I swallow the words I wanted to say and let it be. Nagsisimba ka tas ang sama ng ugali mo, anong purpose nang pagsisimba mo? You'll asked for forgiveness and commit another mistake and repeat the same process? aba ayos.

I faced them, "I'll get going," paalam ko.

"Hindi ka po papasok sa bahay?" I shake my head at Kaycee's question. Sayang gusto ko pa naman sanang pumasok sadyang panira lang yung tatay ko. I glanced at Knox na kinukuha sa lapag ang mga supot na pinamili nila.

"I'll get going," I informed pero hindi nya ako pinansin at nagpatuloy lang sa ginagawa nya. When are you going to look at me?

I just sigh at pumasok ng muli sa sasakyan ko. I glance at him once again before I leave.

I went to the Church, and the mass is already starting agad ko namang nakita sila Elise. I sat for almost an hour; my mind is drifting farther and farther away. I kept fiddling with my phone, his silence made me anxious. Did I do something wrong?

I mean he's often quiet, but he was never that quiet, and it just bothered me for some reason. The mass has come to an end...at last.

Agad kaming dumeretso sa park, as much as I wanted to sit next to Elise, I just couldn't when those two were near, so I just sat far from them.

I'm lying when I say na hindi ako nangungulila sa nanay ko. Our bond...our laughter...her. I miss her. I remember back when I was a child, my mom was practically my human diary, she knew everything that had happened to me, from dawn to dusk.

I chuckled, looking back I was a complete chatterbox. I rested both of my arms behind me and looked up. I cover my eyes with my hand when the sun directly hits my face.

"I want to talk to you," I murmur under my breath. Napagpasyahan kong bisitahin si Mom sa pahingahan nya.

Hindi na ako nag-abala pang magpaalam sa kanila at lumalis nalang. I brought some flowers, lilies her favorite and some chocolate bars that she liked.

I drove to the cemetery, pumaparito ako every sunday just to visit and talked to her.

"Hey mom," I softly uttered. I caress her gravestone; a bitter smile escaped my lips. "I brought you your favorites," Nilapag ko ang dala ko sa harap ng lapida nya.

"I met a guy mom, and he's peculiar to be honest," I chuckled when Knox's firm and stoned face crossed my mind. "I really wanted to get on his nerves, you know just to shatter his demeanor pero ang potek ako ang naiinis sa kanya. He's so aloof, reserved, a man with few words and..." I trailed off.

"Handsome," I admit. "I mean, mas gwapo pa rin naman ako, mas macho, mas gwapo ulit. Mas matalino nga lang yun," bawi ko.

Napakagat ako sa labi ko at umupo sa sahig, "Pero at least feel ko lamang ako ng ilang ligo sa kanya."

I talked and talked until my throat became dry. I stayed there for almost 3 hours. I turned off my phone para hindi ako macontact ng magaling kong ama dahil ayaw kong makausap sya. This place has been my comfort zone, I am not afraid to go here, in fact I'm more at peace when I'm here.

Feel ko dati akong kaluluwa. Na reincarnate lang ganon.

I decided to go home when the sun started to set in the horizon, babalik pa ako sa school mamayang gabi dahil may pasok kami bukas. I smirk, I'll see you Knox.

Evening came and I'm ready to go back to the university. I fished out my phone and typed a message.

Sup, Knox. Gusto mong sumabay sa akin? I'm about to return, how about you?

I sent it and waited a few minutes for his reply.

Shut up.

Napanguso ako, tamo pati sa text ang sungit.

Make me Knox, make me shut my mouth ;)

I chuckled after I sent that message. Teasing him isn't that half bad, nag eenjoy ako kahit na minsan dedma lang ako sa kanya. Ang kapal naman ng mukha pag ganon.

He did not reply back kaya binulsa ko na ang cellphone ko.

"I'll get going," paalam ko at hinalikan sa pisngi si Elise. "Be a good girl ok?" I kissed her forehead.

"Take care of yourself po kuya ha? always eat vegetables and drink your milk," paalala nya. Natatawa kong ginulo ang buhok nya.

"Yes boss," I saluted na syang ikinatawa nya.

I looked up and saw them kaya bahagyang nabura ang ngiti sa labi ko.

"Una na ako," walang gana kong saad.

"Is that how you talk to us young man?" Pagalit ang boses ng tatay ko kaya napataas ang kilay ko.

"Want me to talk sweetly to you?" I sarcastically said. His forehead creases and was about to lash out when Kianna stopped him.

"Hayaan mo na," she whispered.

"Bastos eh!"

Napailing nalang ako, "You're in front of the child, are you really sure na ganyang ugali ang ipapakita mo sakanya?" nanunuya kong saad. "Anyway, I'll get going."

I turned my back at pumasok na sa sasakyan ko. I honked my car signaling them na aalis na ako. When the gate opened agad kong pinaharurot ang sasakyan ko.

Hindi pa man ako nakakalayo when my phone lit up, I was about to ignore it when his name appeared on my screen. I slowed down and opened his message, when I read its content agad kong niliko ang sasakyan ko.
