CHAPTER SIX: A PAYMENT

" I like you, I do "

"Maganda siya..."

"Ha?"

Ryland knew from the moment that he started this stupid conversation that it would be stupid.

"...s-si ano... Megan? Megan Reid." he swallowed hard and tried to focus on the pictures he's editing in his MacBook.

He wants to throw himself to a pool and get drowned.

He wants to create a time travelling machine and bring him back from a minute ago when he started the conversation he thought of as stupid.

He could feel his back sweating all of a sudden by his plan white shirt, he had to take off his glasses and wipe the sweat at the sides.

"Megan... Reid? You think na maganda siya?" Brent chuckled.

Brent did once thought that Megan is beautiful... emphasis on 'once' because now he thinks of her as his best friend. Perhaps it was not only beautiful but her aura was powerful and charismatic.

But then he quickly realized that Megan is just like him in some ways and why he did not want to date her nor have sex with her at all.

And of course, he was already obsessed with Olivia.

"Maganda siya, sige. Bakit?" Brent asked and placed his shirt he folded back to the drawer they use to share when they were kids and now it's Brent's and Ryland bought his own.

"Interesado ka ba sa kanya?"

Brent was not so sure with his twin liking Megan, he knew what kind of person Megan was and what kind of men has fallen for her and got their heart broken in the process.

Even if Megan repeatedly told these men that she's not interested in relationships or when she would give obvious hints to them... they still fall for her.

He's heard Megan talk about her struggles in relationships, he realized at that time he struggled with the same thing before but it's a different conversation if it's Olivia because his feelings for Olivia is intense, deep, and a bit tricky.

"Hindi. I just... I'm just curious."

"Curious? Curious tulad sa ibang mga babae na—"

"Okay, okay na! Tama na."

Ryland sighed, shaking his head in disbelief, leaning his chin on the palm of his hand as he continued editing the pictures.

"Megan Reid is dangerous. She is beautiful but dangerous."

But why?

"Why?"

"Basta. Don't even think about anything with her."

Oh boy, Ryland already was thinking about anything with her.

But it does not mean that he didn't take Brent's advice and mention that Megan is dangerous despite her beauty and seductive aura at the same time, and probably a sprinkle of charm in there.

He swore he tried.

"You studied in NEO?"

"Yes, I did."
