DS #3: Billionaire's Love Shot

Kabanata 10

"Let's date after my practice," I said while we are walking. I feel like I am floating because of what I feel inside. I am so inspired and happy to be with him.

Deretso lang siyang nakatingin sa dinadaanan namin at ako naman ay patingin-tingin sa kaniya.

"May gagawin ka ba mamaya?" tanong ko. Napanguso ako.

"Nothing, I'll be with my friends but I can cancel our plan," he answered. Napakagat-labi ako. Hindi siya tutuloy para sa date namin? Parang may kumikiliti sa puso ko habang binibigyan siya ng matamis na ngiti, "I'll call them later," he added like he is convincing me that it's okay that he can't go with them.

"Okay lang ba sa 'yo 'yon? We can postpone our date," sabi ko. Friends are important. It's his happiness and peace. Lumalabas ang totoong siya kapag kasama niya ang mga kaibigan niya.

"Tsss...I already told you, Amanda."

"Hey, hi!" biglang may sumulpot sa harapan kong isang pulang bulaklak. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at unti-unting inangat ang tingin sa lalaking nasa harapan ko. Matapos makita ang mukha niya ay hindi ko mapigilang magkunot-noo, "Good morning," he greeted me with a smile on his face. Yes, he is hot and handsome, kaya nga madami siyang fans.

I rolled my eyes, "Jordan, stop annoying me!" I exclaimed. His lips pursed as if I was just joking. Napatingin ako sa tabi ko at nakitang wala na si Pierce. My eyes widened in shock. Malayo na siya sa 'min at hindi man lang lumilingon. Aalis na sana ako para sundan siya ng biglang hawakan ni Jordan ang kamay ko.

I glared at him, "I am courting you. Accept this flower," sabi niya. Pinilit niyang nilagay sa kamay ko ang bulaklak.

"Alam mo, ang aga-aga pinapainit mo ang ulo ko!" I rolled my eyes. Ngumiti lang siya, tingin ko mas nasisiyahan siyang nakikita akong naiinis. Kinuha ko na lang ang bulaklak para matapos na. Bigla akong nakarinig ng tilian mula sa likuran namin. Agad kong binawi ang kamay ko.

"I'll walk you until your classroom, babe," he told me in a sincere way. Jordan is good but I don't see him as my boyfriend or what. He will remain as he is for me.

I shook my head, "Stop it, I don't like you, okay? Do you want us to be in a school news again?" I asked. My brows knitted. I couldn't stop my forehead to crease. He's irritating and he's getting into my nerves.

"I don't like you means I like you, Amanda. It's challenging. You're challenging me," he whispered in a soft boys, "And I'd love to try you." His brows lifted up and down. He is serious as f*ck.

I picked up my phone when it rings. Tinaponan ko ng masamang tingin si Jordan para balaan. Napaawang ang mga labi ko nang makitang si Pierce ang tumatawag. Mabilis akong naglakad para makawala kay Jordan pero nakasunod ito.

I answered his call.

"Nasaan ka? Why did you leave me?" I asked. Patingin-tingin ako sa likuran.

"He's following you, what do he need?" he raised a question. I bite my lips. Group of girls giggles when they saw Jordan coming their way.

"I don't know, he's annoying!" sambit ko.

"You're holding a flower. He likes you," he mumbled, lowering his voice. Agad na namatay ang tawag. Napatingin ako sa screen ng phone ko.

Is he mad?

I tried my best to get rid of him. Jordan is persistent. Nakakainis siya. Hindi ko nasabi kay Pierce na gusto niyang manligaw.

"Jordan, ano ba?! Stop following me!", I shouted. Wala naman na masyadong mga estudyante dahi maya-maya ay mags-start na ang class.

Namulsa siya. He acted cool, "I already told you, I'll walk you until you reach your room, Amanda," usal niya. His lips lifted. My shoulder fell. Ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? I shouldn't let him do that. Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao. I sighed heavily.
