The Playboy's Pursuit

14: Run for your life

SUZY'S POV

"Oh thank you, son. Come now, Suzy."

When Mrs. Montero said that pagkaupo niya sa loon, tumalima nako and crouched down to hop in.

"You should've just stayed at home tonight. And your dress!"

I glared at him when he suddenly whisper-yelled that to me pagkalapit ko rito.

I throw him an annoyed look pagkapasok ko sa loob but I just received an unknown look at him saka isinara na ang pinto sa tabi ko.

The moment hed get into the driver's seat, I glared at him at the rearview mirror pero hindi naman ito tumingin and just started the engine.

This shit! Ano bang problema nito sa suot ko ngayon? Hindi naman ito malaswa. It was an off-shoulder fitted dress with long sleeves covering my arms. It was in nude color at hanggang tuhod naman ito so it didn't show off my legs. Mrs. Viola was kind enough to lend this dress and this silver louboutin shoes to me. A shoes which cost a fortune kaya kailangan kong ingatan ito.

Kung hindi lang sana namin kasama ngayon ang parents nito, edi kanina ko pa sana sinakal ito.

Throughout the ride to the venue of the party, pinili ko nalang na tumahimik dahil parang nawalan na'ko ng gana.

Kung ayaw niya sana na nandito ako, dapat hindi na niya ako isinama pa rito. I would've been working overtime right now. Yes, it was tiring but atleast walang nangingialam sa'kin. Walang naiinis na nandito ako ngayon.

I know he was upset with me dahil hindi ako pumayag sa gusto nitong mangyari na magpanggap bilang girlfriend niya but hell, as if I'd give a damn about him being upset.

"We're here."

When his father announced that, mabilis ko ng binuksan ang pintuan sa tabi ko before he could even got out from the car at pagbuksan kami.

Kung ayaw niyang nandito ako ngayon, then I guess, ako na mismo ang lalayo rito and I'll make sure that I won't get into his way tonight.

Nawa'y pangit ang babaeng ipapakasal ng mama niya rito para mapagtawanan ko naman ito.

"Let's get inside now." Saad ng mommy niya pagkalabas ng sasakyan.

And before she could even walked towards the entrance of the hotel ahead kung saan gaganapin ang party ngayon, lumapit na'ko agad rito.

"I think susunod nalang ako sa inyo sa loob, Mrs. Viola."

Agad na napatigil ito nang ibinulong ko na'yon sa kanya.

"Sumunod? And why is that, young lady? Saan ka ba pupunta ngayon?"

The jerk and her husband quickly turned to our way when she'd asked that with her voice enough for them to hear her. Kunot ang mga noo nito habang takang nakatingin sa'ming dalawa.

Ignoring them, sinagot ko na lamang ang tanong nito.

"May titingnan lang ako diyan sa tabi-tabi. Mukhang maganda ho kasi rito sa labas. I'll just take a quick stroll around for awhile."

"A stroll? We're here for the party---"

"Honey. Just let her do that. Gusto niya lang makita ang Canada sa gabi so just let her, okay? Late na rin tayo."

I felt grateful when her husband cut that off with a playful wink in his eyes.

And though Mrs. Viola was quite against with my idea to stroll around, napapabuntong-hininga na lamang ito.

"Okay. I'll let you do that pero kapag hindi ka pa sumunod sa loob, I'll send someone to get you here okay?"

I quickly nodded at that with a smile. And I noticed her heaved out a deep breath again before she nodded.
