She Was Pulled (Salazar Series #1)

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Dared

"Can I talk to my boyfriend?" she asked. Her voice changed from calm to drunk-like tone.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Anong pakialam ko sa boyfriend mo? "I'm sorry, come again?"

She laughed hysterically. What the? I suddenly had goosebumps. "I'm pertaining to Xy, bitch!"

May nabuong kaba sa loob ko. Bumaling ako kay Xy at madiin siyang tiningnan. "Are you drunk Miss Villacorta? As far as I know, he has a fiancée." I gritted my teeth.

Xy's brows furrowed. That fuelled my anger more.

"Kung ganoon ay kulang pa ang layo ng nalalaman mo?" pabaliw ulit siyang tumawa.

I didn't answered. "Wanna see pictures?" she asked mockingly.

Madiin parin ang tingin ko kay Xy bago marahas na pinatay ang tawag.

"What happened?" he asked softly. Hell no! I won't be carried away with that freaking tone.

Sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko na siguradong kapag nakumpirma ko ang hinala ko ay maibabalibag ko sa kanya ang lahat ng nasa ibabaw ng mesang ito.

He didn't cheat right? I swear I'm gonna kill him if he really did.

My phone beeped. My hands were shaking as I opened the notification.

Tumulo ang luha ko nang makita ang litratong pinadala ni Stalette. Si Xy yon na nakahalik sa isang maputi at matangkad na babae.

I know that this photo was shot years ago because Xy looks very young in it. But I can't help but to feel upset!

Bakit may nauna sa akin?

Xy was alarmed looking at my tears. "Fuck, what's wrong?" I slapped his hands when he was about to caress my cheek.

Nagulat siya sa ginawa ko. "Why didn't you tell me about..." curse that name. "Stalette." my voice crooked.

Something in me is relieved because he didn't cheat. But to see that fucking photo?

Mas lalo siyang nagulat sa sinabi ko. "What? Who's Stalette? And why are you crying? Fuck," he tried to reach me again so I immediately dodged it by standing.

I haven't even made a single stepbut his hand is already locking my wrists. He pulled me outside the restaurant. His brows in a straight line and eyes dark.

Nagpumiglas ako na mas lalo lang nagpahigpit ng hawak niya.

He opened the passengers seat, his eyes begging for me to go inside. I shooked my head. Glaring at him despite the tears in my eyes.

Bumunting hininga siya at mariing pumikit. Sa isang iglap ay sinikop niya ako at siya na ang pumasok sa akin sa sasakyan.

I gasped hardly at his move, stopping myself to shriek. He got inside the driver's seat too. "Please tell me why are you crying, Milady. And..." he shut his eyes painfully. "What did I do wrong? And why would I tell you about Stalette when I don't even know who the fuck is that? Tell me."

Patuloy akong umiyak at hindi sita sinagot.

"Milady," his grip on the wheel tighten. "Tell me or I won't fucking drive." his voice was pleading, contrary to his words.

"Then don't!" I equalled his anger. "Just let me get out of this car and I won't care if you drive the hell or not!" sinubukan kong buksan ang pinto kahit alam kong nakalock yon. "Open this!"

He shooked his head. "Tell me what's the problem first. Please,"

Tuluyan nang napigtas ang pasensiya ko. "Tangina Xy bubuksan mo ba to o walang kasalang magaganap?!" bulyaw ko.

Hindi lang gulat ang ipinapakitang reaksyon ng mga mata niya ngayon. Kundi pati takot... at sakit.

Umamba akong huhugutin ang singsing nang muli niya akong subukang abutin.

He immediately pulled his hand back. "Open the door." I ordered coldly.

Silag na silag ang sakit sa kanyang mga mata. "Milady..." padabog akong umuklo atako na ang pumindot upang ma unlock ang pinto. Akala ko ay pipigilan niya ako pero ramdam naramdamko ang panghihina niya nang maglapat ang katawan naming dalawa. Saglit akong napasinghap dahil dun.

I shooked my head and wiped the remaining tears on my face before I opened the door. I turned to him lastly before walking away. He's staring at me,eyes still pleading.

Pumikit ako ng mariin at agad pumara ng taxi. Tinext ko si Deila.

                                                                  Ako:

                                   Are you still in Italy, Deil?

Mga sampung minuto bago siya nagreply.

Deila:

Yes, still in hotel Excelsior. Why?

                                                                  Ako:

                                      Send me the whole add

Sinend niya sa akin ang buong address. Pati ang room number nilang tatlo. Alam kong alam na niyang may balak akong puntahan sila.

I turned my head to search for Xy's car but my heart hurt when  I didn't see it.

Magkakatabi lang naman ang tinutuluyan nila. Agad akong kumatok sa pinakamalapit sa akin. Bumukas yon at bumulagta si Dale sa harapan ko.

He's topless,only with his cargo shorts. "Nell?" his brows furrowed and his eyes diverted on my back..

Nilakihan niya ang bukas ng pinto at niyakap ako. "Nasaan si Xy." nalukot ang mukha ko sa binanggit niya.

"Oh fuck!" he pulled me inside. I saw his girlfriend's eyes widened when she saw me.

"Bakit ka umiiyak?" Dale demanded an answer.

"J-Just call Deila and Yra." I was panicking while wiping my tears.

"A-Ako na." prisinta ng girlfriend niya. Siguro ay alam niyang hindi susundin ni Dale ang sinabi ko.

"Nella-" he messed his hair frustratingly. "What did that bastard-"

"Couz!" bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Deila, Yra at ang girlfriend ni Dale. "Anong nangyari?" dinaluhan ako ng dalawa.

I handed my phone with shaking hands. Deila read the whole conversation and clicked the photo. Natutop niya ang kanyang bibig. "Oh my God! Did he fucking cheat?" Dale was alerted and he was ready to snatch my phone. Good thing Yra took it.

"Hindi Deila! Sobrang bata pa rito ni Xy!" si Yra.

"Oh my God!" they hugged me. "Is his ex bothering you?!" Deila's voice thundered.

"Nella!" sigaw ni Yra nang hindi ako sumagot.

"H-He doesn't have an ex." we l turned to Dale.

Sumiklab ang galit ko. "Kung ganon ay sino si Stalette?!"

Dale's eyes widened and he snatched the phone from Yra's hands.

Napamura siya nang makita ang litrato. "Sagutin mo muna ako Nella. Nangaliwa ba siya?" ngayon ay mas mahinahon na siya.

I shooked my head. A little bit embarrassed of what I've done and how I reacted. "But you know me. I am the most jealous person I know," my voice is low.

Bumuntong hininga si Dale. "Hindi niya to ex. Wala siyang naging girlfriend bago ka." lumunok siya. "Stalette was our co-trainer back then in the dance workshop." lumunok ulit siya. "Nagkayayaan kaming lumabas and... We plated truth or dare. Nell, I'm sorry... I dared him to kiss Stalette."

All of us didn't moved except for Deila. Lumagapak ang palad niya sa gitna ng muka ni Dale bago yon tinulak.

"Ate! Fuck!"
