Jay-Jay's Pov
I got startled, but I didn't scream. Because I already knew who it was, Aries.
"What are you doing here? Its almost," He checked his phone then turned back to me. "1 AM" Well its obvious, you gave me a small amount of food. And now I'm starving.
"You really had to scare me like that?" I murmured but he he still heard it.
"I asked first" he said while looking straight at me.
I decided to stay silent. He sighed, I thought he was gonna stop but he came up with more question. Are you kidding me? I need to answer all that?
He sighed again," Atleast tell me where were you the evening." I became more silent, thinking what to tell him. "Tell me or I will smack you" Clearly blackmailing me. I'm not gonna fall for it. But I don't wanna go to school with a red forehead.
"W-we were having a st-study section" I lied, because if he knew that I went to Drew's house, he will tell Kuya Angelo or scold me with his lectures.
"Seriously? try something else, Jay"
What? Section E cant have a study section? Dude exams are in 3 weeks.
"Fine" I said, I decided to lie again.
His face slightly lit up.
"I-I we-went out wi-with" I stopped in mid sentence, because I needed to pick one of the Ulupongs. Keifer? Oh hell no, the whole family might bury me alive. Yuri? nah same with Keifer. David? nope. Ci-n? hmmm the best one soo far. "Ci-n" I said.
"Really?"
I nodded in response.
"Okay, then I will just ask him" he said while tapping on his phone. "Are you sure? he's probably asleep right now." I said. "I know Ci-n, he's probably playing on his PS5 right now." he said while dialing Ci-n's number. I'm doomed.
"Hello, Ci-n"
[ Hello, Mr. grumpy.]
I couldn't help but laugh, this kid is really something else. Last time he called Kuya Angelo grumpy and now Aries? I continued laughing until Aries smacked me on the head. Owww that hurts. I rubbed my head where Aries smacked me.
"Was Jay with you today?"
[But Mr.grumpy its already 1 AM, So its yesterday.]
We both checked the time, It was really 1 AM.
"Just answer my question" he said trying to be calm.
It took him some time to reply. Is he thinking? Oh god help me with this one.
[Ye-yes, she was with me yesterday.]
Aries turned to me and I swallowed hard.
"Okay, bye"
[Bye, Mr.grum-]
He cut the call and turned to me again. "You could have just told me" and walked away.
Phew that was a close call! Thank you Ci-n!! I swear I will give you 10 pesos, because that all I have now. Or or maybe I will give you some chocolates. I opened the fridge and looked for some, but found none. Uhhh I will give you 10 pesos I guess. I went back to my room and decided to brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth I turned the lights off and laid down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
(☀️The morning☀️)
I woke up as the sunlight entered my room. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I opened my door and went down stairs. Aunt Gema and Mama were cooking breakfast. Kuya Angelo was on his tablet. Aries was no where to be seen.
"Good morning, Jay" Mama and Aunt Gema greeted me.
"Good morning!" I replied.
I checked the time. 7.23 AM? Oh come on, its time for me to get ready. I walked back to my room. Took a shower and changed into my HVIS uniform. Thankfully, I didn't wore mismatched socks today. I combed my hair with my fingers, I was too lazy to comb my hair with the comb. I picked my bag up, got out of the room and went back downstairs again.
I sat on one of the chairs. Mama handed me kape at pandesal(Black coffee and bread) with fried rice and scrambled eggs on the top of the rice. I stuffed them on my mouth and ate it as fast as I could.
"Jay, slow down" Mama told me.
But I ignored her, I was running out of time. I don't wanna be late.
As I ate breakfast, I picked my bad up and ran to the gate. I opened it and Keifer's handso- I mean annoying face greeted me.
"Huh? Why are you here?" I asked him.
"I knew you were going to be late, so I decided to pick you up" he explained it to me.
He was smirking, I was getting suspicious. "Why are you smirking?" I asked him.
"So I can't smirk now?" he asked me.
Aishh annoying, Its hard to love this man.
"Get in" he said while opening his car door for me.
I got in and to be honest, the smell was like it was just bought today.
"Keifer," I called him out the second he got in.
"Mhm?"
"Is this car new? it smells like one"
He smirked again and replied "Yes, this is actually for my wife"
Wife?
"Who?"
"Wife"
"Her name?" I asked him.
I'm not jealous, yep definitely. Not jealous at all
Keifer's Pov
"Her name?" she asked me.
It looked like she was jealous. Aww, she's soo cute when she's jealous.
"Your cute when your jealous" I said
She looked like she was gonna explode. Of course its you, Jay.
"Answer me" she said.
"Jasper Jean Mariano Watson, Jay-Jay for short" I said.
