MY EX-BOYFRIEND WANTS ME BACK

CHAPTER 17

--MARLEE'S POV--

"Good morning, baby" sabi niya sabay akbay sakin.

"Boy, get your hands off my shoulder". Inalis ko ang braso niya sa balikat ko at naglakad papalayo ngunit mabilis niya akong naabutan at inakbayan ulit.

"Evasive girlfriend huh?"

"I'M NOT!!" I said indignantly.

"You're not what?" he asked, using his teasing-slash-annoying tone of voice.

"I'm not evasive and most of all I am NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!" I said, stressing out the word 'not your girlfriend' baka sakaling matauhan siya kahibangan niya.

"Really, baby."  he said smirking, while wiggling his eyebrows.

Arggh. Umagang- umaga pinapainit na agad ni Dylan ang ulo ko.

Yes. Si Dylan at si Dylan lang naman ang kausap ko,wala ng iba. Siya lang namanmay lakas ng loob nakausapin ng ganito.

"Can't you just-Arggh. Didn't I tell you to stop calling me baby? "

"What's wrong with calling you baby?" It's not as if-"

"Shut it." Di ka na siya pinatapos sa pagsasalita. "Let me clear things, once and for all.I'm not you're baby and I'm not girlfriend. Understood?"

"Nope."

"Ha?"

"Be my girlfriend for a week."

"What?!!! No way??!"  huminto ako sa paglalakad at gulat na gulat na hinarap siya. Haaay.  Anong klaseng pakulo niya na naman ba 'to ha?

Nagulat ako ng bigla siyang tumawa. Why the hell is he laughing?

"You can't reject me, missy."

"And why not?"

"Because it's a command, not a request nor a question. So whether you like it or not, you'll be my girlfriend for this entire week."

"And why would I do that?" I asked him.

"Because you owe me." he simply said.

"FYI, I owe you nothing, mister."

"Of course you do, Miss Popular. I just got into trouble because of you. Remember?"

Ha? Ano na namang kasalanan ko sa kanya? Wala naman- Oh cheesecake!!!! That Dylan-punching-somebody-last-week incident.

Balita ko kasi na-principal's office nga siya dahil doon. Tapos as a punishment mag cocomunity service siya sa loob ng isang linggo. And kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko sa sinabi ni Lucas sakin, sa library ang community service ni Dylan. Mag-aayos ata ng libro and whatsoever.

At yung pagtawag tawag niya sa akin ng baby, last week niya pa pinangbubuwisit yun sa akin. Simula ng sabihin niya sa noong natamaan ako ng bola na 'girlfriend'  niya daw ako.

At ngayon naman gusto niya akong maging girlfriend. And take note- for one week. At talagang may expiration ang pagiging girlfriend ko. Ha! Asa siya!.

Besides, hindi ko naman kasalanan ko bakit siya na-Principal's office ha. Bakit sinabi ko bang manuntok siya at iligtas ako?? HINDI naman diba? Kaya in short, WALA AKONG KASALANAN.

"Listen, Mr. Dylan James Mendoza, I'm at nobody's fault here. Hindi ko na kasalanan kung naparusahan ko man o hindi." I said as calmly as I could. "As much as I want to share in your own little misery, I'am so sorry but I can't and don't want to. So goodluck and carry your own burden." I said mischievously.
