Hating Him (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

I rolled my eyes when the first thing I saw as I entered the kitchen is Mom, who's already eyeing me with her signature disappointed gaze. When I said disappointed gaze, her eyes were slitted, her one brow raised a bit, and her head slightly tilting back and forth.

Ngumuso din ako nang makita si Dad na pinagmamasdan ako. If anything that disappoints Dad, it's when we disrespect Mom. Kahit gaano pa niya kami kamahal, di hamak na mas mahal naman niya si Mom. That's why I can't contradict Mom now since Dad is kind of her ally.

But then again, Dad might have been disappointed long ago. Ilang beses ko na bang nasagot sagot si Mom? Ahh maraming beses na! Wala na siyang ikaka-disappoint dapat. Baka quota pa nga!

"Apologize to that schoolmate of yours. He went back to the academy just to look for you and you have the guts to cuss him?" Mom said laced with disappointment. Padabog akong umupo sa tapat ni Dad. Edward was facing Mom.

Umirap ako. "As he should be... It's his goddamn fault!... Ano bang sinabi niya sayo? Na kasalanan ko?" Umagang umaga, hito nanaman kami.

"Elea!" Mataas na boses na tawag ni Dad.

See? He's disappointed!

"You'll apologize... Or I'll deal with it and trust me those people in SL will deal with its consequences... kasama mo!"

I shifted my weight. My heart skipped a beat. "Fine! I'll apologize. Just don't involve other people," biglang mahinang sabi ko. Kita kong nangunot ang noo ni Dad sa sinabi ni Mom pero binaliwala lang niya kalaunan.

Nagmadali akong kumain at umalis. Pagpasok sa kotse ay nag disguise agad. Pero ng umilaw ang phone ko at nakita ang bagong wallpaper with the sunset and a man's silhouette, napamura ako. Apologize my ass! He should apologize instead.

Umilaw ulit ang phone kaya kinuha ko. Nanlaki lang ang mata ko nang makita ang familiar na number sa screen.

0912*******

I'm starting to think that you have already forgotten me.

0912*******

I wonder what changed? I miss your constant texts :-(

Kumalabog ang puso ko. Kahit hindi pa ako sure kung si Logan ito, I'm sure it's him. The familiarity of the number hits me.

Ako:

Logan, ikaw ba to?

He didn't reply but called after a minute. Agad kong sinagot.

"Hi." His husky and sexy voice made me giggle. The smile I never expect I'll wear comes to life. Nagsimula akong magmaniho habang katawagan siya.

"Hello."

I heard him sigh. "Are you busy? You never text."

I cleared my throat. "Sorry, I kind of accidentally formatted my phone kaya na delete lahat ng files," I lied but I'm I even lying? Parang na format naman talaga dahil kahit pictures ay tanggal. Tanginang Harden yan.

He let out a sexy chuckle. "You're not going back here?"

Napangiwi ako. I want to go back. I just can't. Bigla tuloy bumigat ang pakiramdam ko.

"Nah! I'll probably not come back. Ang hirap pala talaga ng nilapitan ko. I have to study hard."

Logan told me he was in his room, waiting for his professor. 8 ang first period nila doon while 8:30 sa academy. And It was 8:20 when his prof arrived and he had to end the call.

"Save my number. And text me, hmmm?" bulong niya.

Ngumiti ako. "Okay! I'll call too," bulong ko din.
