Always The Bestfriend

Chapter Fourteen

I decided to have dinner out instead of having dinner at home. I'm too tired to cook. I'm planning go to the house instead of staying in my condo.

I parked my car infront of my favorite restaurant which has the best tasting carbonara. I love carbonara. Bumaba ako ng sasakyan and I went inside.

There were a lot of people there were a lot of empty seats pa naman. The lady ushered me to a seat beside a very familiar couple.

The couple looked at me then looked away. Oh, so walang pansinan? Okay. I ordered then I waited for my order to arrive.

"Here is your order, Ma'am." sabi ng waiter at nilapag ang inorder ko. I thanked him and then he left. Sinimulan ko na ang pagkain. Paminsan ay tumitingin ako sa kabilang table. Kapag nahuhuli ko na nakatingin sakin si Storm, iniirapan ko siya.

I was finished with eating. I payed the bill and decided to go to the rest room. Pagkatayo ko, umikot ang panigin ko kaya napahawak ako sa gilid ng lamesa.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" A waiter approached me.

I smiled at him. "Yes, I'm okay. Thank you for asking." I answered.

Lumingon ako at nakita ko na nakatingin sakin si Storm. Si Rain naman ay inirapan ako. Problema niya.

Kinuha ko ang bag ko na nasa silya at dumiretso sa rest room. I entered a cubicle and did my thing there. Pagkatapos nun ay lumabas na ako at tinignan ang sarili ko sa salamin.

God, I look really pale. Nilabas ko ang make up bag ko at nagsimulang magretouch. When I was satisfied, lumabas na ako.

Nanlaki ang mata ko when an arm pulled me and made me face him. "What theㅡStorm?!" I whisphered angrily, worried that someone might hear us. "What the fuck?"

"No cursing." He said. He reached for my cheek and carressed it. He looked at me like I was such a fragile person. "Are you sick? Ang putla mo." He said.

Tinabig ko ang kamay niya na humahaplos sa mukha ko. "Stop worrying like you care. Let go of me, Storm. Bumalik ka na sa girlfriend mo." sabi ko.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "What? Why are you mad?" He asked. Oh? Do I sound mad ba?

"I'm sorry of I sound mad. It's just that we had sex, you took my virginity then the next thing is I see you having a dinner date with you girlfriend." sabi ko.

"But I thought it was just plain sex." He said. Confusion was all over his face. Ang sarap nitong sampalin eh.

"You are such a jerk, Storm. Let go of me." I sternly said.

"What? No. Did that mean something to you?" He asked.

Tumaas ang kilay ko. "I don't have time for your questions. Let go of me so you could go back to your girlfriend and so I could go home." I said.

Umiling siya. He was about to talk again nang unahan ko siya. "I said let go of me." I said in my coldest voice. Binitawan naman niya ako kaya naglakad na ako paglabas.

Ugh. Nahihilo talaga ako. Sumakay ako sa kotse ko and I drove off.

"Hi, MomㅡDad." I greeted both of them pagkapasok ko ng bahay.

"Hey, honey. Dito ka ba tutulog?" Tanong ni Mommy.

"Yes, po." I answered. "Akyat na po ako. I'm really tired." sabi ko.

"May sakit ka ba anak? You look really pale. Did something happen?" Mom asked me. Lumapit siya sakin to check if I'm sick.

"I'm okay, Ma. Siguro pagod lang talaga ako sa trabaho. I've been working for weeks now at walang pahinga." I said.
