Chapter 35

"I can go inside alone, Zar!" I was still inside his car when he took me to Eian's house. We already saw Eian in front of his house, it looks like he's waiting on me.
"I said I'll go with you." He said coldly. Soobin is still in his car, probably sleeping, I will temporarily leave my pet with him. He agreed but here he is and he's trying to join me again! I just kissed Soobin yesterday.
I was swayed by my senses. This is how ugly a Zarius Walterson is.
"I said Im fine! The only thing we talked about earlier is you'll just deliver me!" He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His jaw tightened too.
If we were in a sensible situation maybe I would praise him for the beauty he has now but not before.
"No! I'll go with you and that's final!" He started the engine so that it was in front of Eian's house, holding his phone. Earlier he was still texting where I was, but I only texted him im on my way.
His smile widened when he looked at my car. But it immediately disappeared when Zarius came down first and opened the door for me.
"Zarius, pare." Eian greeted but Zarius didn't even pay attention to him.
"I can do it." When he's about to touch me for support. He didn't do anything when I got down.
"Hi!" I greeted Eian, he smiled and waved at me.
"Ahm they're already here. We're just waiting for you." I was a little embarrassed.
I glanced at Zarius who was just staring at my side while Eian looked dark.
"All right, go ahead, Zarius. I'll just text you." When I confronted him. He just turned me lazily.
"Tsk, I said ----"
"Please, Zarius. We're group mates, so how can we behave properly if you're there?"
"So what, Ysla?" His voice became a bit high there, I looked at Eian who was hugging while waiting for me.
"Please, Zar. I promise after this I'll go with you to your place." The expression on his face did not change. He closed his eyes sharply and seemed to be looking for a word.
"Just text me." That's all and he rushed into his car.
He didn't even wait for me to say something and quickly pulled the car over.
I sighed heavily and turn to Eian.
"Are you?" He asked when he opened the gate for me. Their house is also big, we have mini grasses walking along while beautiful plants and flowers are on the side. I can see their mahogany main door as both serve as verandas, with the same set of table and chairs.
"N-no, he's just my friend."
"Ah, it looks like that Walterson is fencing you off."
"No! Btw where are they?" I changed the topic when we entered.
"It's in the swimming pool area in the garden." He replied. A maid greeted us.
"Ah sir, what snack do you want?"
Eian turned to me.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"Whatever."
"You heard her manang, there's something wrong with the refrigerator." I blushed when they both laughed.
God, Ysla!
"Eian!"
"You're welcome sir, I'll just prepare the cordon bleu and Ma'am Celeste bought a cake earlier." Manang's promise
"It's up to you. Tara Ysla." I nodded and followed him.
"Shut up! Don't be like that!" A loud laugh greeted us when we arrived at the garden, they were already sitting at the round table while facing the pool.
"Son of a sweet potato!" I heard Eian whisper as they still laughed.
"Hey!" At Eian's shout they immediately looked at us. Eyes widened and stood up as we walked towards them.
"Ahm, hi!" I smiled at them.
"Pre my heart fell ata pasalo naman." I laughed when Kio acted like he had chest pain.
"I'll step on that!" Klane replied.
"That smile kills, dude!" Ani Jiro.
"It's time to seat Laraya first!" Eian promises to keep trying.
"Oh yeah! Come here next to me!"
"You're here next to me, Laraya!"
"Sing to you he's close to me so I should be by his side!"
Eian and I looked at each other.
"Son of a sweet potato really, he'll be by my side!" They immediately stopped, Eian pulled back a chair so I could sit down.
"Thankyou."
"Welcome." He immediately averted his eyes when I smiled at him.
"Oh it's like that!" So they took their seats.
"Have you eaten yet, Laraya?" Nate asked.
"Ahm yes, I already eat towrtang telong." I said as I arranged something in my bag.
Their foreheads furrowed at what I said, even Eian was stopped from opening the laptop.
"W-what?" Kio asked.
"Ahm I guess you just know it now. Its a fried eggplant with scrambled eggs." They were silent for a while and soon their laughter prevailed.
"Shit! My stomach hurts!"
"The social pre! Why do I hear belong? Hahahaha"
I looked at Eian who was almost holding back a laugh.
"Tsk, you're laughing." I thought he was going to shake but he joined in to make them laugh. I was frustrated.
Is it wrong?
"Grabe !!" Jiro wiped away the tears once more.
Eian stopped laughing and faced me.
"Its eggplant tortilla." His tongue is also quite fast.
"Torrr-tang telong?" I tried harder
"Son of sweet potato repeated yet." He put his hand on her head at the same time.
"Its called Tortang talong, c'mon say it."
I tried to move my tongue as his.
"Towrtang ti-long?" He bit his lower lip.
"N-no ... Shit ... I mean." The victim suppressed a laugh.
"This is Laraya, tell me!" He said no pretty quickly so I didn't understand.
"Can you repeat?"
"Repeat pre!" Clane's promise.
"Yes stupid! I understand!" Then Kio looked at me. "Alamang." He spoke quickly again.
"Father?"
They laughed again. They're cheating on me!
"Looks like it's not group study! Tongue twister ata to! Hahahaha!" Jiro replied.
Edi they are good at pronouncing.
"Oh that's right! Laraya is the daughter of the sweet potato you're dating." Awat ni Eian.
But I just stared at him.
Manang and some maids came to put down our snacks. I saw another unfamiliar one.
"Thank you, manang!" They promised almost at the same time.
"Thank you." I said,
"Nothing, just call me if you need anything." We nodded and they turned around.
"What's this?" At once I lift a circle.
"You don't know that either?" Kio asked.
I shook my head.
"That's hopia, Laraya! Promise it's delicious!" Jiro replied.
I looked at Eian, he nodded.
So little by little I tasted, when I was bitten my eyes widened to look at them. They are also looking forward to my reaction.
"Delicious?" Eian asked.
Next I nodded and ate.
"Told yah!" I ignored their other comments and ate.
Time passed and we found ourselves discussing, we only had two laptops. I couldn't bring it because we don't all need it.
Eian and I are the ones holding the laptop, we are all able to give an opinion. The intrams are next week, and it will take place in three days or one week. On the first day we will sell first because in the second game they will fight Eian against the Engineering department, they will be able to compete first in the First year as well but when they win they will enter the finals to face the senior which is the third day.
News I have in the senior team they are Zarius.
I decided not to join, maybe I was destined to do something else.
I have no interest in such things.
"They're Zarius the opponent in the finals, pre." My ears tingled with what I heard. But I was just pretending to type on the laptop.
"Shit! That's really strong! They're fighting with the other university team, aren't they? They're monster friends on the court!" I heard Nate.
"But I trust Eian here with our partner!"
"They said their team captain was flirting with someone! Nursing student!" Ani Jiro.
"Yes, that's Chaos!"
"Stupid no! Zarius pre loves fights! Nursing student too." I stopped what I was doing.
What did he say?
"Really? Moonstone is a nursing student's catapult!" Then they laughed.
"But I'm also in love with Zarius, I heard somewhere that he's the black sheep of his family ah! You see, andami always fails? That's why his friends are in their third year." I just listen to them.
Eian kase came out for a while to answer his mommy's call.
"It's not as passionate about studying, it's just a ban." Kio replied.
"But it's a pity he's still smart."
I bit my lip. I'm hurt by what I hear, is it true that he's dating someone? Then what are the things he shows me?
Why does he depend on me ?!
My grip on the laptop tightened.
"Laraya, I still have hopia, get some more." Nate said, I just nodded and took.
Hopia, hope. It's like I'm looking for a chance between us that I know seems impossible.
After a while, their topic changed. I also laugh sometimes their jojolly like before.
"It's really bad when it comes to trust, isn't it? Cassie doesn't trust you, Nate?"
"Yes, it's too clingy but I love you! How can trust be restored?"
"Go on 7/11 you have ---"
"Gago a condom!"
"Just think about it. If the dish falls on the floor, can you put it back? Are you still okay?" I got curious of what Klane talks about.
"Not likely! It's broken!" Nate replied.
"You idiot. You probably think of Cassie!"
"Eto pre, think about why I magjojowa a dish?" I laughed with everyone at what Nate said.
"Mukhng fun ah." Eian is back as well.
When Eian returned, they talked again about basketball.
I took the phone from my bag, I forgot to text Zarius !!
When I saw that, there were a lot of texts from him, even Kuya Maru and Daddy !!!
Zarius:
What u doin?
Zarius:
Are you busy?
Zarius:
Tsk you're busy with that fucking Tresvalles
Zarius:
Laraya Yslavien Villareal!
Zarius:
Reply!
I haven't read too many of his other texts.
Me:
Im busy alright? You can text later.
After I sent it, I looked at Dad's text.
Dad:
Honey, where are you? Are you still with Maru? Has he delivered you yet? Just text me if you're getting home. I love you.
I was surprised by Dad's text.
Kuya Maru:
I didn't tell your Dad that someone else delivered you, ma'am, don't worry. Just be careful, just text me when you get home.
I smiled, it's good! Sorry Dadsy and Mommy for lying!
Me: (to Daddy)
Okay Dad, I'm still here at my group's house. I love you.
Me: (to brother Maru)
Okay brother. Thank you!
When I sent it, there was another text from Zarius.
Zarius:
Okay, I'll fetch you later. Remember you promise.
My eyes widened, God! Of course! Where is that? Brother Maru will come after me!
Im broke.
"What's the problem?" Eian asked when he saw the expression on my face. I immediately hid my phone.
"Ah nothing!" I replied that he nodded and the conversation with Kio returned.
I just continued what I was doing on the laptop, but eventually my phone rang.
"Ah excuse me I'll just take this call maybe Dad." Goodbye, they are looking forward to it.
When I got away I immediately looked at who the caller was.
Zarius calling ....
I answered immediately.
"Why the delay ?!" His baritone voice immediately dawned on me.
"I told you im busy!"
"Busy my ass, Yslavien." I hearm him tsked, I hear another noise with him. Then came the sound of the drum set.
"Why not?"
"Your promise." He reminded me again.
"Ahm kase ..."
"Promise is a promise, Yslavien." He made a strong promise.
"Yes! I'll take care of brother Maru." I heard him take a deep breath. Once again there was silence between us.
And once again I remembered what they said to Kio, is it true that he is already dating a nursing student?
I want to ask him, but what right do I have?
"You're silent, tell me what's bugging you." He suddenly promised.
"Nothing. Where are you?" I change the subject.
"Moon Ground, I'm with my friends. I'll pick you up later so you can get here."
"Okay ..."
"Did you eat already?" He asked.
"Yes the hopia."
"Just that?" He asked emphatically.
"I ate a lot."
"And the drinks?"
I bit my lip, why is he asking so many questions ?!
"Just water." I said.
A long silence prevailed again, I didn't hear anything else in his line.
Maybe he came out.
"I already miss you ..." He said huskily.
But instead of thrill I didn"t know if I would believe.
Is that really for me? Is that really how he feels.
"Laraya lika na!" I heard Eian shout.
I first put the phone away from my ear. "S-okay Eian!"
"All right, I'll text you later." I couldn't wait for what he would say when I came down.
Hays.
What about the trust, hope and chance?
I just shook my head and walked away.
