The Girl He Never Wanted [Completed]

23-HURT

HURT

He finally agreed to get his wound checked kasi parang lumalala. He agreed pero kailangang kasama ako bumaba with him. We trekked down the mountain. We had his wound checked for infection and function kasi baka may nasirang artery, he feels fine naman daw. We picked up some supplies for his wound too.

I wanted to drop by the office to check. Ayaw magpaiwan. I suddenly turned to him when I realized hindi pa naayos ang contract. May atraso ito sa akin. Abusuhin ko na rin. My town needs it.

"Do not cancel the contract." Utos ko sa kanya. Try n'ya tanggihan, I will tell people andito ang gahamang may-ari ng kumpanyang gusto kami pahirapan. I will watch them hang him to the cross and I will dance on his grave.

Tumango naman siya agad. I informed Ruby about it, signed some documents, and we continued to check on the other sections of the business. We went to check on the grazing and the ranch. Luriel is there. Galit agad lalo na nang makita kaming sabay na bumaba ng sasakyan.

"What is he doing here?!" Sigaw niya dito. Of course, Mark's not fazed, and the dick-wagging started. Like two male buffaloes with raging hormones.

Luriel hugged me tight at tumikhim ito. "Can you... can you not do that to her like that please?"

"What? Hug her?" As he tightened his arms around me. "Do you realize what you've lost now?"

We remained close friends throughout the years, and he has helped me through my recovery. But we have discussed our status at tanggap niya naman noon pa. He may have a glimmer of hope when I got separated from Mark pero I clarified that issue. He understood and we became close confidants.

He dated but nothing came out of those. Binibiro ako na kasalanan ko daw because he has not moved on yet. Some girls would bitch on me, so he would keep his distance from me to make it work. But his women just cannot take the fact that we sort of become a package. I do not make personal demands from him nor him toward me. He just shows up once in a while here to check the ranch.

We are even closer than Laura who I rarely see because she loved it in San Francisco and decided to live there for good with Ace. We rarely have long talks due to time zone difference. She also got busy with her career and when their first child came.

Mark's jaw clenched and I saw his eyes turn red as he saw me nestle into Luriel's arms. I do not understand what he is doing here. I need to talk to him about it later.

"Does this hurt you?" Tanong niya kay Mark sabay tingin sa aming dalawa na magkayakap. Parang lalong iniinis si Mark. I think I saw hurt flash his eyes and I guess Luriel saw it too. "Good. This should hurt you."

"Stop it." Saway ko sa kanya at baka mauwi sa suntukan kung inisin niya ito. Bahala sila. Hindi ako aawat at baka matamaan ako ng ligaw na kamao. No, thank you. I've been hurt enough already.

I stopped Luriel from bitching too much about it. They are both here temporarily. Mark has to return to his work. Luriel will finish checking the ranch in two days and will return to his work too. They just need to suck it up for now. I hate dealing with so much male hormones between them. I am already busy as it is too.

After doing some check-ins on the status of the other businesses, Mark wanted to go to his suite. I wanted to drop him off before going back to the mansion. He has other plans though. He wanted to pick up his luggage and go back to the cabin.

"I don't wanna go back there with you!" I protested from inside the car parked in front of his hotel. I do not want to go back to the cabin with him. I do not want to go with him to his suite either. I just want to leave.
