Once Upon He Was Mine (Good Girls Series #4)

Chapter 44: Lost

“To get the x, you should multiply this and this, then divide it with the lowest number you got from this formula.” Vince Matthew encircled the formula he is saying. I don’t know why, but I understood his teachings more than my professor’s.

“Bakit hindi ka nag-teacher?” I asked as I tried to solve the problem on my module.

“Ayoko, baka pagkaguluhan lang ako ng mga estudyante imbes na matuto sila sa akin. 'Tsaka baka mawalan ka ng boyfriend.” He chuckled, napangiwi naman ako.

How dare he call Ate Xyle “narcissist” if he is also one?

But no one can disagree with them but themselves, because obviously, they really got the looks.

“Hello to our newest couple!” It was Demi, agad siyang naupo sa chair sa tapat namin habang nakangiti. “Bakit hindi pa kayo kumakain?” she asked while putting her food out of her tray.

“Tapos na kumain ang bebe ko, ako naman busog pa,” Vince answered. I immediately glared at him after hearing what he called me. “Enjoy eating,” he added while smiling.

“Pansin ko lang, ha? Namamayat ka lalo, Matthew. Diet ka?” Demi asked.

“Nope, hindi ba nasabi sa ‘yo ni Coach na nagji-gym kami twice a week?” Vince smirked, nagtaka naman si Demi bago umiling.

“Hindi niya sinasabi.” She pouted her lips. “Well, physically fit naman si Benedict, ah?” I giggled after hearing that.

“Tell us nga, kayo na ba?” I asked. I saw her cheeks blushed. Maybe that’s the answer already? I smirked at her.

“Sshh, secret lang, ha? Magtu-two months na kami,” she whispered.

“Three months,” Vince said with a cunning smile. Demi’s eyes widened after that.

“Paano mo nalaman?” she asked.

“Let’s just say that Kuya Ben and I were pretty close.” Vince shrugged his shoulders. “At alam na naman talaga namin nila Zeus at Ken.”

“Daldal talaga niya!” she exclaimed.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” I asked. I felt kinda offended by that, honestly. But I know that she has her reason to keep that as a secret and I trust her.

“We want to have a private relationship lalo na ngayon na sobrang gulo ng paligid. Issue roon, issue rito. At ayoko rin namang masira ang pangalan ni Benedict dahil minor pa lang naman ako, tapos mas matanda siya sa akin ng four years.” She smiled. “Pero alam niyo? Noong bata ako, sabi ko gusto ko 'yong kasing age ko lang. Like, Ken. Kasi feeling ko magkakasundo kami sa ano mang bagay tapos masasakyan namin ang trip ng isa’t-isa. But when I knew Benedict more, doon ko na-realize na mas prefer ko pala 'yong lalaking mas mature at kayang-kaya akong i-handle.” I smiled while seeing her genuine smile.

I am so happy that she found her happiness after being accused of stealing by ate Fuchsia, being beaten by Vince’s former classmates, being depressed after her mom almost committed suicide and after all the hardships she has been through. I hope their relationship last long.

“Ikaw ba, Brey? Ayaw mo sa ka-edad lang?” she asked all of a sudden, agad naman akong napatingin kay Vince na natahimik. I slowly shook my head.

“I can’t explain. Magkaiba kasi tayo ng preference and I might offend you,” I said. Demi just chuckled.

“Hindi ‘yan! ‘No ka ba?” she insisted. I just heaved a sigh.
