Against The Fate

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

For a second, I thought my heart fluttered at his words.

But no, it's impossible. Me having feelings for him?

I'd prefer to be a rock, rather than to let that happen.

He brought me buko pie from Laguna and tons of vitamins. May dala din siyang dinner, mula sa favorite restaurant ko.

I don't know how he managed to find out all of these, but I'm sure he got it all from Kale.

"Don't think that I am fine with you, just because I let you in. I could've asked the guards to never let you in again." I told him, while eating my buko pie.

He smirked. "Ano ka ba, kinaibigan ko na ang mga guard dito para makapasok na ako palagi."

Inirapan ko siya. "Like you have the guts to do so..."

He chuckled. "Iwas-iwasan mo nga ang pag-irap. Baka mamana ng anak natin!"

Muntik na akong mabulunan sa sinabi niya. I am still not used with this! Anak natin?

One second he was just a guy I met in the bar. Then we had sex, and then met again and had sex again.

And here we are, boom! I'm pregnant.

"It's better if it gets everything from me. Kaysa naman sayo na kulang-kulang."

He held his heart. "Grabe ka naman sa kulang-kulang. Kulang pa ba ako? Kala mo hindi ka—" Tinakpan ko ang bibig niya. "...nung ginagawa natin 'yan..." he teased.

"Shush! I don't want you sex talking me when I am eating! Iba na ngayon, may anak na tayo!"

I think my cheeks just blushed at the mere mention of it.

"Oh, sorry," he chuckled again. He touched my tummy. "Sorry, baby. Mainitin ulo ng Mommy mo. Wag ka nalang makinig sa usapan namin, ha?"

I swatted his hand. "Hands off."

He raised his hands in surrender. He looked better now, than before. Mukhang maayos na siya after all that Lia fiasco.

Nang matapos ko ang pagkain ay lumipat kami sa living area. I figured since he's here, we can talk about our set-up.

"I don't want to get married," I told him. "It's useless. We don't love each other."

"Yet," he continued my thought.

"I won't ever love you," I sarcastically smiled at him.

His brow slightly raised at my comment. He smirked a bit, pouting a little before sighing.

"Wow, ouch..."

Sure, he's handsome and all. But he's no Kale. At hindi ko ata kayang tanggapin flaws niya. That's how love should be right? Dapat tanggap mo ang lahat sa partner mo?

"I respect you. Kung ayaw mo makasal, hindi naman na kita pipilitin," he stared at me. "Dahil... kayo ni Kale, diba?"

My forehead creased and then I realized.

That's what he knows! Dahil ang gago na si Kale, gustong gumanti kay Gray dahil akala niya may gusto sa akin ang lalaking ito!

If me having feelings for him is impossible, mas lalo naman para sa kanya!

"Anong nangyari sa fiancee mo? Bakit si Kale na ngayon?" he asked a bit bitterly.

"Should I add that? Wala pakialamanan ng love life?" I smiled sarcastically.

He tsked. "Hindi naman ata tama 'yon. Gusto kong malaman kung sino magiging boyfriend mo dahil posibleng maging step father ni Maximus 'yon."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Who the hell is Maximus?!"
