Tea of the Scandalous Nights (Marchero Series #3)

Chapter 4

"I'm done, ikaw sinong kausap mo?" tanong sakin ni Primo habang nakunot ang noo dahil kakababa ko lang ng cellphone ko at nilagay iyon ng pabadog sa tote bag ko.

"Nothing, just friend asking for notes."

"Then why are you crying?" tanong niya ulit at tuluyan ng nasa harap ko, amoy na amoy ko sa kanya ang pabango niya at ang shower gel niya.

"It's just nothing okay," pangkukumbinsi sa kanya at tumingin sa malayo, buti nalang ay hindi na niya ako tinanong pero nagulat naman ako ng umakbay siya sa baliat ko at sinabay ako sa paglakad hanggang malabas kami.

A cool wind blows outside but the world is still too harsh, after we ate dinner and he brings me home.

"Thanks for today," I smiled at him and kiss his cheek, and wave at him before I go inside, I see my parents talking in the living room also watching a movie and I smiled at them and they asked me I already eat, I just nodded at going to my room and when I finished doing my skincare and taking a half bath, I'm about to sleep when my phone suddenly rang.

I looked at it, and I see his name, what do you want again Zach?

I sighed before I removed the charge and sliding it to accept.

"It's night already and it's 10 pm already what do you want?" I hissed, I heard him sighed before says something.

"I know but you can't blame me if ngayon lang kita tinawagan ulit dahil kakatapos mo lang maligo," my eyes widened on what he just said.

"How? how did you know?" I said to him, I looked around as if he's in my room.

"I'm in outside of your house, checking if he takes you home safe and sound," he confesses, I immediately looked at my sliding window and I see him leaning on his Ferrari car, how did he enter this private subdivision? buti hindi siya hinarang?

"Umuwi kana." may diin kong sabi sa kanya at hinawi ang kurtina para mas makita siya, he looked at me and folded his arms.

he's wearing a gray hoodie and khaki shorts.

"Uwi kana sakin," I rolled my eyes after he said that, c'mon madami kang inuuwing babae Zach, hindi ako kasama don.

"Gusto mo tumawag ako ng security?" pagbabanta sa kanya, nakita ko naman siya na tumwa mukhang natakot dahil sa banta ko.

"I should know that you're no good for me Zach, so better leave,"

I assumed he's going to leave but he shakes his head and command me.

"Go ahead, call someone that makes me left here, or maybe I fucking shout here just so you came down and talk to me face to face because I can't fucking promise not to climb your house even you have your parents in your living room."

I don't have a choice but to go down because I know he will make a scene so I walked in the other door so my parents will not notice.

I see him clearly from here, I see his bloodshot eyes and he put down his phone in his pocket, he rolls up the sleeve of his jacket, my eyes widened when I see his arms full of tattoos, my mouth parted and looked at him.

"Maybe they're right, the womanizer will get his karma big time," he chuckled.

I walked toward him and grabbed his arm, I see my name as their "Amanda, deserving to be loved,".

"You deserve my love, Andie"

"I'm screaming. I'm screaming on top of my lungs. I'm screaming until it hurts. I'm screaming for help. For love. For affection. I don't know if you heard but I know you don't care either way. But can't you, for one second, as you care?"
