Captivating Aphrodite (UNEDITED)

Chapter 30

Reese's POV

I am more than stressed since Damien came back. I thought his presence will give solution to my sorrow pero hindi.

Napaaga sya ng uwi. I was expecting him to be in the country next week. When I asked him kung bakit sya napaaga, sabi nya, nagkaroon daw ng problema ang manager nya atsaka ang client. Based on his story, ang client ang may ginawang kagaguhan.

Damien always cling to me. And it annoys me because he wasn't like this before. Super clingy nya that he shows up in my office almost everyday. It's not that I don't wanna see him, it's just that, I feel like I am treated as a competition. Mali iyon diba?

Palagi akong nakakareceive ng dalawang bouquet ng bulaklak. Walang palya iyon since Damien came back and Spencer started giving me flowers. Hindi naman kumikibo si Damien kapag may isa pang bouquet na dumadating. Pero napapansin ko ang paggalaw ng panga nya. Nangigigil sya.

Tuwing magkakasalubong kaming tatlo, para akong nakakakita ng leon at tigre na nagpipigil na sagpangin ang usa, nagpapakiramdaman ng kilos ng isa.

"I didn't know that Mr. Timothy visited you.." mahinang sabi ni Damien. We're in the middle of eating lunch. Napakagat ako ng labi. Totoo, I forgot telling him about the things that happened lately.

"Sorry." That's all I managed to say. Nakita ko ang paghigpit ng hawak nya ng kutsara at tinidor.

"And I heard, close na rin kayo ni Adam," he mockingly laughed. "Nice."

Doon na nangunot ang noo ko. "What are you trying to imply? Diretsuhin mo nga ako."

Binitawan nya ang hawak na mga kubyertos at humarap ng maigi sa akin. Kita ko ang galit at inis sa mga mata nya, na may kahalong pangamba at lungkot. "Reese, ako pa rin ba?"

"What?! Ano bang sinasabi mo Damien? Boyfriend nga kita diba?" Naiinis ako. Saan nya na naman ba napulot itong issues nya? Okay naman kaming dalawa nitong mga nakaraang araw ha? Yes, he's all that clingy and kind of annoying pero we're good.

"Yun na nga! I am your boyfriend, pero hindi ko maramdaman!" sigaw nya. There was frustration in his voice. Tumayo sya. "I am leaving. Kailangan kong huminga."

Tiningnan ko sya. I am trying to loosen up and find that understanding part of mine pero hindi ko iyon mahanap. All I did was look away and watch him leave my house.

I sighed. Hindi ko na alam. Am I really that bad? What should I do?

IT'S 11 pm at wala pa ring text or tawag mula kay Damien. I am kinda worried because I don't know where he is or what he is doing. Ang alam ko lang nag-away kami. And that's not good.

I dialled his number and finally nagring na rin. Kanina kasi nakapatay iyon.

"Hello?"

I froze. Boses ng babae. It wasn't Damien!

"Where is Damien?!" I asked furiously though I am shaking right now. Don't tell me....

"Hmm, uhh," may umungol. And then the girl giggled. Hindi ko na namalayang naibagsak ko na ang phone ko.

What is he doing? Who is he with? Anong nangyayari?!

I was frantic. Nagbihis ako kaagad. Skinny jeans and a blue shirt with a pair of my converse. Dali-dali kong minaneho ang kotse ko papuntang Aztec, hoping he's there. And wishing I am wrong.

Thirty minutes and I was already inside the club. Agad akong nakapasok dahil sa VIP membership ko. Yes, I still keep it.

"Romeo, nandito ba si Damien?" I asked the bartender. Kilala ko sya. He's an old friend. "Yes lovely. Nasa private room." Nakangiting sagot nito. Hindi ko na sya kinausap at dali-daling nagtatakbo paakyat.

May dalawang bouncer na nakabantay. Pero pinapasok nila ako. Subukan lang nilang hindi, malilintikan sila.

I wasn't expecting this. Sa kanya. I felt my heart shattered. Bigla na lang nyang naitulak ang babaeng nasa ibabaw nya kanina.

I just caught Damien having sex with some other girl.
