The Nerd's Scheme

Chapter 17

Khloe

I knew it! I shouldn't have trusted him! Binabawi ko na ang give him a chance kanina! He's not worthy at all! I told him to just drop me in front of my condo building but here we are! In a crowded, messy place.

"Logan... " I called him.

"Welcome to the night market, nerdy." Pinauna nya ako bumaba bago sya.

"I'm not asking what's this place is. Ang akala ko ba ihahatid mo ako?" I crossed my arms in front of him.

"Watch your attitude young lady. I'm doing you a favor." He reminded. Hinagis nya ang bag ko na mabuti na lang ay maagap kong nasalo. Tinalikuran nya ako at nauna nang maglakad.

I don't know this place. I'm not familiar with every corners. May chance na maligaw ako kung hindi ako susunod kay Logan. But... I have a mouth. Pwede naman ako magtanong kung saan ang sakayan. Ano bang pakialam ko kay Logan? I will not depend on him.

I turned my back and went on separate way. Huminto ako sa tapat ng isang tindahan.

"Excuse me po. Pasensya na po sa abala pero itatanong ko lang po sana kung saan ang sakayan ng---" I was cut off when someone interjected.

"Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Nandito ka lang pala."

I sneered at Logan. Ano bang ginagawa nya rito? Lumayo na nga ako di ba?

"Pasensya na sa abala Miss. May tampuhan lang kami nitong girlfriend ko." He said and gave her his infamous panty-wrecking smile. Namula naman ang babae. I think she's in her late 20s. Seconds later, her forehead creased and her mouth parted. Inilipat nya ang tingin sa akin at ngumiwi. She cocked her brow and scanned me from head to toe.

"No. I'm not using any potion and he's not my boyfriend." I rolled my eyes. Inalis ko ang pagkakaakbay sa akin ni Logan at nauna ng maglakad. That kind of stare. I know that very well. Wala man lumabas sa bibig nya ay nasisiguro na inuulan na nya ako ng panlalait sa isip nya.

"Hey! Wait for me."

Hindi ko pinansin si Logan at pinagpatuloy ang paglalakad.

"Come here." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me in front of a food stall.

"I'm not hungry."

He didn't listen to me and made me sat on the chair.

"Wag kang aalis." There was a warning in his tone.

"Wag mo akong utusan."

"I'm serious, De Vera. Bubuhatin talaga kita pabalik dito." He warned.

"That would be harassing." I point out.

"Harassing my ass! Kapag sinabi kong asawa kita hindi na makikialam ang mga iyan. They wouldn't bother to involve themselves in someone else's mess. And one more thing, I will just carry you. Hindi naman kita ibabalibag."

I snickered.

"Girlfriend nga walang naniniwala, asawa pa kaya?" Tss. Bakit hindi nya kaya gamitin ang utak nya?

"Kapag hinalikan kita sa harap nila, sa tingin mo hindi pa rin sila maniniwala?"

I stilled. Hindi agad ako nakapagsalita. I shook my head. No. He wouldn't go that far. He value his reputation. It will be a shame if someone see him kissing the most hated nerd in our school.

"Oh come on, Logan. You will not go that far just to prove---"

Napapikit ako bigla nang may dumikit na malambot at mainit na bagay sa mga labi ko.

"Shut up." He whispered on my lips.

"One more word from you and I will mercilessly assault your mouth with my tongue. This is my final warning, Khloe."
