Chapter 11

Dahlia Meadows

I heard a shout that came in on my other ear and out the other, someone waving her hands infront of me. The words were so faint I couldn't hear them until I heard them clearly now. "Dahlia!" as January cut some of my unpaid attention to her. My mind strayed away too far, all my attention shifted to January who had been talking to me all along. "Sorry, what is it again?" I was lost. "What happened earlier?" I recall the things Dallas told and did to me earlier. I was embarrassed to tell her that I think your brother's definitely flirting with me or what, but it made me so flustered. Now my ego was so low that I couldn't open up what her brother did to me because it was completely wrong to tell her. It was her brother, so I played it safe.

"I'll go now, it's getting late too." as January informed me. I felt sorry because I was too flushed to speak. I just ran away as January opened the door, I just knew she's gonna be so curious about what really happened. If Dallas ever tells her, then it's for the better. I didn't wanna lower my pride just like that, I mean who would want that? "I'm going home. See you around!" as I hugged her and ran out of the building. I cautiously went directly to the bus stop, I didn't wanna pass by both of them – I mean January and Dallas..

I arrived home, and saw Katherine inside my apartment. I completely forgot she got conned by her boyfriend, I mean her ex-boyfriend now. They lasted for around two months, which was her second longest relationship ever. I sighed, and patted her back. Once I patted her back, she started hiding her face as she cried. Her sobbing was so exaggerated I knew right away she wasn't even crying. "You should've become an actress. Your performance wasn't that good, try improving." I looked at her smirking. "Should I?" as she tucked in her hair on both sides and inhaled. She started playing the song All of The Girls You Loved Before by Taylor Swift. She was a fan of Taylor Swift, but singing her songs ruined the song for me. "Enough.. enough." as I quieted her down by covering her mouth, her eyes were looking at me threatening me to release my hand.

She prepared such dishes like two cups of noodles, and two glasses of wine along with a wine bottle. "Now that's what I need for today!" I told her as I forced a gasping face on mine. "Did anything extraordinary happen to you today? This isn't you." as I squished her face together, and swayed it. "If iz me." as she muffled, so I let go of my hands, squishing her face. "Tell me about Hamptons." Here we go again. I couldn't help but tell Katherine what really happened. I told her about the rumor that I had been buying dupes of luxury brands, and someone almost led to my demise by planning to make a fall of a ceramic pot on my head but good thing I missed it.
Fate and luck was on my side. I was surely lucky enough Dallas had made a threat against Julian. Thankfully, he stopped but you know, who knows right? I should be thankful to him because now everything's gonna be fixed by me. I wouldn't like being helped.

"Those assholes, mga putangina!" Now, that's a whole new level of Katherine cursing. If it was a Filipino that heard it, she could've led us to a fight. No joke.

TR: Those assholes, those sons of bitches!"

"Calm down." as she crushed the plastic water bottle in front of me, and smashed it through the wall. "Hey! You would have thrown it on the floor, but not on my wall!" Obviously because my wall just got fixed after Katherine banged herself in my wall when she got drunk on Halloween. It had small damages, but that cost me a lot. Katherine was very impulsive, should I say violent? She liked cursing out those guys who tried dating me, but she was always that girl who knew everything about single individuals who approached me. So basically, I have never loved anyone sincerely in my life. "My bad. How's that guy Dallas?" she asked me. "He's..." I looked away for a moment. "Nicer than I thought." Then, I hopped our conversation to another.

I asked her something curiously. "I have this thing for him. Whenever he does something nice, it makes me flustered that I think he'd been doing that with a purpose but he doesn't look like he had a motive. But, he only does that to me, no one else. I mean I might be assuming but.." Katherine laughed and I scratched my head. "You know what I mean." Katherine started rolling on the floor, laughing. I guess it was that funny since I have never told her any stories where I obtusely fell for someone unexpected for her.

"Gago ka, patay ka talaga. You've fallen in love." as she looked at me smiling foolishly.
TR: You stupid, you are really dead. You've fallen in love.

"You're in love with the fact na kinikwento mo na siya sakin. Tanga mo naman."
TR: You're in love with the fact you're already telling me about him. You're so stupid.

In love? Impossible. It was just a moment that made me flustered. Nothing else! "No way. I shouldn't have asked." I told her not believing any word she had said. "You do you, girl." as she took a sip from the glass of wine. "He's my type though. Should I hit him up?"
I glared at her, my eyes had become aggressive. "Joke lang, nagbibiro lang. Threatened ka ba?" she said as she nervously picked up her wine glass.
TR: Just a joke, I'm just kidding. Are you threatened?"

What if indeed, it's true?
What if I had fallen? What should I do?
I didn't want this.
