Heart Tamer (That Girl #1)

00. Damian

"That girl is Saoirse Roanne dela Rama‚ not sure about her course but I'm sure it has something to do with business. Facebook name‚ Saoirse dela Rama." I heard Dane spoke making me avert my gaze from the woman sitting alone on her table by the glass walls, not that far from ours.

I arched my brows at Dane‚ confused with his sudden babbling and a stupid grin on his stupid face.

"What?" I asked and he chuckled.

"You've been eyeing Saoirse‚ what? Your type huh?" he smirked with his eyebrows playfully squiggling at me. Tingin at ngiti pa lang halatang wala na namang naiisip na matino.

I huffed with his question laced with obvious malice‚ napatingin lang type na agad. This dickhead think every man's brain run like his. Palibhasa madalas kapag tinitignan niya ang babae ay gusto niyang landiin‚ and he will.

"I'm not eyeing her‚ she seems trouble about something kaya napatingin ako," I reasoned although I don't have to. Ayaw ko lang na isipin niyang totoo ang iniisip niyang type ko ang babaeng hindi ko naman talaga sinasadyang tignan kanina.

She's not my type and that because I don't actually know what my type is‚ or if I have one. Maybe just a decent woman? Of course I would like my woman beautiful and beauty is subjective.

I just like who I like‚ if you won't annoy the hell out of me then maybe I could like you.

"I've never seen you stare at any woman that long‚ so you can't blame me to see it that way." As expected to Dane he wouldn't just let his stupid impression about something just go.

Nailing ako saka ibinaling na lang ulit sa MacBook na kaharap ang tingin ko, this written report to one of my Econ subject is more important than his shitty comments.

"I told you‚ she seems troubled at bakit alam mo pangalan niya? She doesn't seem to know you anyway." My brows furrowed with that realization. Dane even know about her Facebook account and her whole name‚ but he never approached or just even greet her since we arrived in this coffee shop.

Tinignan ko ulit ang babae and realized that she even go to different university based on the uniform that she's wearing now. My brows furrowed, she kind of look familiar. Must be an ex-fling to Dane? Not surprising. Dane is a notorious womanizer and it wouldn't be unusual if this woman is one of his ex-fling knowing that Dane's flirtation isn't exclusive to our campus or at any place at all. When there is a beautiful woman‚ there's a chance that he'd flirt.

"Why don't you know her?" balik tanong niya sa'kin‚ even giving emphasis with each word as if it is a responsibility to know that woman and I just failed to comply.

"And why should I know her?" I asked again‚ arching a brow at him again. He can just tell me why he knows the woman, hindi 'yong binabalikan pa niya 'ko ng mga tanong.

"Stupid‚ we all went to the same high school and she's even Audrey's best friend. How can you not know her?" mahina siyang tumawa bago sumimsim sa inumin niya.

I know the Audrey that he mentioned‚ like who wouldn't? That girl of many nationality is one of the most popular girl in Calderine—that International High School we attended before. Although we're year ahead‚ her popularity in school didn't fail to reached us.

I couldn't help but look at the woman again‚ her face suddenly became more familiar. Yeah, nakikita ko nga siyang kasama ni Audrey minsan, but I think something is different with how she looks now kaya siguro hindi ko siya namukhaan kaagad.

"Oh‚ tinignan na naman." I heard Dane laughed‚ sounding satisfied catching me stole another gaze from the woman. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin nang mapalingon sa'min ang babae dahil sa pagtawa niya.
