Butterflies [COMPLETED]

Fixed Marriage

[Cassidy's POV]

I'm on my way to my parent's house. Driving slowly looking like an idiot thinking about what just happened earlier.

We almost kiss again. Almost.

Paano kung di sumulpot si coco sa sitwasyon na yon?

Oh my god. Bakit ko iniisip yun? Stop it cass.

Pero may kakaiba akong naramdaman kanina. Kung may loudspeaker lang yung heart beat ko siguro nabingi na si leigh sa lakas ng tibok nito. I've never felt so alive before.. And It's funny how I like to kiss her in that situation.

Wait. Do I like her?

*Ring *Ring

I smiled seing her name on screen. It was from Attorney Leighton.

"Can I borrow your towel? Naiwan ko kasi sa apartment yung isang bag ko na naglalaman ng mga towels."

Why am I smiling while reading the text? Ugh. Can't help it.

"Sure. I told you, you can do whatever you wanted. How's coco?" I replied while driving.

Limang minuto lang ang layo ng bahay ko sa bahay nila mommy. Buti na lang nagsialisan na mga reporters. Naisipan ko munang bumili ng flowers para kay daddy. Bukas na ang libing niya pero hanggang ngayon di ko pa din matanggap na wala na talaga siya. Iniwan na talaga niya kami ni mom.

*Ring *Ring

"Thank you. He's playing at his room. He told me not to bother him. It seems like he doesn't want to leave your house any sooner."

I smirk after reading it. At first I type "Then don't leave." Then I quickly erase it and change it into, "He can take the playstation when you leave the house. :) Anyway, What do you want to eat for dinner?" I click the send button.

Ilang minuto pa nakarating na ko sa bahay ni mommy. Naabutan ko siyang nakaupo sa tabi ng kabaong ni dad. Marami pa ding tao at reporters ang nasa labas. Buti sa bahay wala na kundi magtataka sila kapag nakita nila si leigh at coco. Nahirapan akong pumasok because they're blocking my way in. Buti na lang maraming bodyguards na nasa paligid. Pinaabot ko yung flowers na hawak ko sa isang guard para iayos.

Lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan ni mommy pero bago pa man ako makalapit sakanya biglang hinatak ako ni vince papuntang kusina.

Kinalas ko yung pagkakahawak niya, "Teka, bakit ba?"

"Shhh. I need to tell you something." Malungkot na sabi niya.

Kinabahan ako sa pagkakasabi niya, parang sobrang makakaapekto sa buhay ko yung salitang sasabihin niya. "What is it about vince?" I asked.

Vince gasped for air as he spoke, "This morning, I heard mom talking to the phone with your mom. And.. They're planning about.." He paused.

"About what?" I'm curious as hell.

He face down a little, "Gusto nila tayo ipakasal cass."

What the fuck. I fucking hate my life.

My jaw dropped as I tried to compose a word to say, I'm so fucked up now. Nawala lang si daddy tinuloy na ni mommy ang plano nilang fixed marriage para sa amin ni vince. Wala ng pipigil kay mom sa mga balak niya sa buhay ko. The worst thing is ayoko siya dagdagan ng problema if ever makipagtalo ako sakanya dahil kakawala lang ni dad.

"We should do something! I don't wanna marry you. I mean, I don't even think about living with a man for the rest of my life. It'll be miserable as fuck vince. We don't love each other. And you know that-" I almost yelled but he stopped me, "Calm down cass. Parehas nating ayaw 'tong nangyayari okay? All we need to do is to try our best to stop this bullshit."
