Save Me, Miss Tala (ViPe Series #1)

Special Chapter

Lotus Alexandria is laughing her ass off. While me? I just glared at her so damn hell.

"Baby? Bakit mo ako kinidnap! Wala naman akong ginawa sayo ah— oh, shit! Saglit, saglit Baby naman! Pakibaba 'yang kutsilyo mo ha?" Mahinahanon pero gulat siyang humiling sa akin. Sinubukan ko lang naman na hagisan siya ng kutsilyo dahil sa pagiging magulo nito.

"Shut the fuck up, Lotus!" And even if I am fucking mad right now, she's still laughing. Like she's too pleased seeing me in this fucking state.

What the hell? Walang nakakatuwa.

"Baby, bakit kasi kailangan mo pa akong talian sa kamay at paa habang nakaupo sa silya? Syempre iisipin kong kinidnap mo ako. Tsaka mas maganda ata kung sa kama ako naka— shit!"

I punch her face as she tried to joke around again. I am not kidding here and I am hella serious.

"Baby! Alam ko maganda ako, pero h'wag mong bangasan ang maganda—"

"Hindi ka maganda!" I sarcastically retorted at her which makes her pout cutely... but no, she's trying my damn patience.

"Kanina mo pa pinuputol ang mga sinasabi ko mahal—"

"It's Baby! Fuck you, Lotus!" Swear, I am really mad at her right now.

"Okay, Baby. Don't be mad na. Pero bakit nga ako nakatali? Wala naman akong kasalanan sa 'yo." She sighed defeated.

Hindi na rin niya sinubukan na kumalas sa tali na ginamit ko sa kaniya. I saw her wrist getting red and I'm hella guilty right now. But no again.. she fucked up.

"Do you really think that you didn't do anything?" I saw how her forehead furrowed at the sudden curiosity and just stare at me with a blank expression. I stop on my track when she suddenly smiles charmingly and looks at me, lovingly.

Damn it, Tala. Wag kang marupok like her.

"Baby, you know how much I love you right?" Umiling ako. "I always do love you, Baby." I rolled my eyes at the sweetness of her voice.

"I hate you."

"Are you jealous, again? You wouldn't do this if you didn't, Baby."

"In what? To that freaking girl you just kissed in the fucking forehead, Lotus Alexandria?! Now, what?! Are you fucking cheating on me? Porket she's young than me?!" I know that I am mad right now.

I can punch her and just rip her fucking neck. But I need to know her reasons, and if she dares to lie to me then I am going to push her in Galaxy's fucking Clift.

I saw her kaninang umaga in Toni's coffee shop. I just going to pick something into Toni's but I saw her there, laughing, and kissing the girl on the forehead.

And I hate the fact that the girl is younger than me.

"What?!" She burst out laughing, makes me feel stupid and mouth agape. I don't understand why she's laughing so hard imbes na matakot kasi binabantaan ko ang buhay niya. "Baby, hindi kita niloloko—"

"Then explain it to me, you moron!" I shouted. The patience I have is already nowhere to be found.

Damn her.

"Goodness, Baby. Patapusin mo muna ako, okay? So, you see me in Toni's?" I nodded, staring at her with an impassive expression. "Okay, then bakit hindi mo ako nilapitan?"

Umupo ako sa kama, kaharap siya. Thinking about those possibilities she would say. What if she lies? Did she cheat? What if she doesn't love me anymore?

Does she like the girl just because I'm older than her?

"Love—"

"I told you that's it's Baby, Gabriel. What the hell?"
