SALVATORE #2: Womanizer's Little Girl

CHAPTER 20

Hindi ako kumibo at nilagpasan silang dalawa. Hezekiah's eyes were on me as if waiting for me to glance at him which I didn't. Fiance pala, ah.

Tuloy-tuloy ang lakad ko hanggang sa nalagpasan ko ang babaeng tinawag niyang Lean. She didn't give me even a single glance as if she cannot see me. Gano'n din ang ginawa ko dahil sino ba siya sa akala niya para tignan ko? I sighed, my bitchy attitude was on again.

I opened the door and went in. Bahala sila riyan. Dumiretso ako sa sariling kwarto para makaligo at makatulog na. It's already passed six when we got here. Kumain na rin naman kami kaya ayos lang kung matulog na ako pagkatapos maligo. And them? Whatever.

Humiga ako sa sariling kama pagkatapos mag-ayos. I closed my eyes hoping I'll be asleep in minutes but my mind was clouded. What the fuck? Pabaling-baling na ako ng posisyon dahil hindi ko makuha kung saan ako komportable matulog. I pulled myself from the bed irritated when I realized I cannot sleep with these thoughts I have. Gosh, he's too much to handle. He's fucking my mind. Kung saan tinatanggap ko na siya saka naman siya nagkaroon ng babae.

I wonder if Dad will arrange a marriage for me. Wala akong pakialam noon dahil wala akong pakialam sa pagpapakasal. I could marry whoever they wanted me to marry but of course not an old rich creepy man! Iyong gwapo naman na kaedad o mas matanda sa'kin ng ilang taon. Wala akong problema sa fix marriage basta huwag lang nilang sayangin ang kaseksihan at kagandahan ko sa isang matandang kulubot na. Paano ko maeenjoy ang sex life namin kung gano'n? He cannot satisfy me anymore. Alangan naman ako ang luluhod sa kanya? Ako ang magtatrabaho sa aming dalawa pagdating sa kama dahil baka mastroke pa siya kapag siya ang gumawa?

No, no, no. That wouldn't happen. I should ask Dad about that if he's planning to arrange one for me. Kuya Gideon already met his fiance my Dad arranged for him. I'm not sure if he agreed but I think he didn't. I heard he agreed at first but he declined after a month. I don't know what gotten into him why he changed his mind. Hindi naman pinilit ni Dad dahil importante pa rin sa kanya ang opinyon ni Kuya. Hindi ko lang alam kay Kirsten. Pinagpipilitan yata niya si Kuya noon kaya medyo nag-away sila ni Dad. I just heard that from our kasambahay in Lola's mansion. Kahit ang layo ng Pilipinas ay umaabot pa rin ang balita sa California.

I stood up annoyed. Pagod na pagod na ako at gusto ko nang matulog pero hindi ako dinalaw ng antok, sinong hindi maiirita roon? Idagdag pa ang isiping nandiyan ang mapapangasawa ni Hezekiah. Nakakahiya naman sa kanya, may ibang kasama si Hezekiah dito sa condo niya. At hindi lang kasama, kahalikan at kamake-out na rin.

I'm walking on the hallway directing to the kitchen to have some milk when I heard voices in the kitchen. Tumaas ang kilay ko roon. Bakit sa kusina sila nag-uusap? Ang lawak-lawak ng living room. Bobo.

"Our parents wanted me to live here with you for us to know each other more. Gusto nilang kapag kinasal na tayo ay mabibigyan agad natin sila ng apo. Ipapakuha ko lang ang mga gamit ko bukas," rinig kong sambit ng fiance ni Hezekiah. Pati boses niya ay maganda.

I can't deny the fact that she's gorgeous but hearing her voice, I could tell that everything about her is gorgeous. But I could tell if she's a bitch or not and I can tell that she's one who's hiding behind her innocent mask. Paano ko nalaman? Well, I'm a bitch myself so of course I can sense my kalahi.

"No. I disagreed to that marriage you are saying a month ago. I didn't know they are still pushing this," matinding kalamigan ang naramdaman ko sa boses na iyon ni Hezekiah. Nanatili ako sa kinatatayuan ko dahil parang gusto kong makinig. I'm curious to what they are talking. "At mas lalo hindi ako papayag na rito ka tumira. You were saying we're having a child after marriage? That will never happen."

"I'm not the one you should talk that with, go talk to your father if he will let you decline the marriage. Tito Gian already decided for the both of us," said Lean with that soft and pleading voice. Tumaas ang kilay ko tono niya. Ew.
