The Art of Rebound

Chapter One

"Get out!" Did I hear him right?

"Excuse me?" I said trying to look at his face but no avail. All I can see is his white shirt and left arm covered with black and gray tattoo.

"I said get out! Right now!" He snapped and I almost had a heart attack.

"Calm down, I'm going out, Geezz! You don't need to snapped at me" I mumbled while I unbuckle my seatbelt. I opened my car at bago pa ko makalabas ng tuluyan, he pushed me aside and climb up my car. What?!

Call it adrenaline rush but without thinking dali-dali kong pinigilan ang pinto bago pa nito masara.

"Aww! Shit!" iyak ko ng maipit ang kamay ko sa pinto.

"What the hell, miss-" Hindi nito natapos ang sasabihin. Agad nitong binuksan ang pinto to free my hand sa pagkakaipit. I automatically grab my other hand. But the pain is nothing right now, I can't let this man flew away with my car!

"How dare you! Get out of my car!" sigaw ko habang buong pwersang hinihila pabukas ang pinto. "Are you a carnapper?! Bagong modus nyo ba'to! Pwes, huwag ako!" sigaw ko.

"Miss, if you--?" naputol ang sasabihin nito ng magkasalubong ang mga tingin namin. I know it's weird but I feel like I was drown into his eyes. It's the deepest brown eyes I've ever seen and his lips seems so full and...soft? His face is so smooth na parang kahit pimples mahihiyang tumubo. I was so tempted to touch it pero bago ko pa magawa 'yun, sino nga ulit ang gwapong nilalang na'to? Sinabi ko bang gwapo?

It's true. This guy is so mesmerising that I can stare at him all day. Is he a celebrity or something? He's seems so familiar though, I think I saw him somewhere--I don't remember.

"Elle?" sambit nito na may pagkahalong gulat. Wait? This arrogant yet attractive creature/carnapper knows me? I didn't know I am that famous. Is he a stalker? I don't think so, he's too handsome to be one.

Yes, too hansdome to be a carnapper.

Pull yourself together Elle! Damn it! Remember, he pushed you out of your car and snapped at you, twice! And look at him, gorgeously sitting inside your goddamn car!

Dapat galit ako! Yes, galit ako!

"Don't Elle me, I don't know you!" sabi ko pero sa totoo pamilyar talaga ang mukha nito, hndi ko lang talaga maalala kung saan ko ito nakita and I'm not really good at names.

"Ouch!" sabi nito with his expression na tila nasaktan talaga sabay hawak pa sa puso nito and right there I think ang puso ko ang tinamaan ng pana ni kupido. This guy is so...ugh! yummy? "Too bad you don't remember me, but as much as I want to remind you-we are causing traffic-" putol nito sa sasabihin at lumingon sa likuran ng sasakyan ko.

Namilog ang mata ko, "Oh my!" bulalas ko sabay takip sa bibig ko when I noticed all the cars lining up sa likuran ng sasakyan ko. We are causing traffic!

I rather is causing traffic!

I wish lamunin na ako ng lupa sa sobrang kahihiyan. I need to get out of here.

"Calm down Elle, I'm not a carnapper," sambit nito, maybe sensing my anxiety. "I will help you park your car, so If you let me, just stay aside." I heard him saying while positioning himself again in front of my steering wheel but I'm too embarrassed to react so I stepped backward and watched him park my car beside his mighty Jeep.

Like a blink of an eye, he had my car parked just like that—as easy as eating a pie. How did he do that? He must be so good at driving. Sana all.
