Ivan's Girl is a GayxGirl Addict (Addict Series #1)

PANLABINTATLO

IKALABINTATLONG beses na ata akong nagpigil ng kilig sa harapan ni Castro.

We are getting to know each other. Masaya naman siya kasama, nagkakaunawaan kami sa maraming bagay.

"So you got daddy issues? So we're the same." He jokingly said so I laughed about how unserious he is while he was talking about our daddy issues.

"Are you fine talking about it though?" He even asked if I could talk about it! Man, he is different. He is not like the majority of people who will just ask me why and never even ask if I want to talk about it.

"Okay."

"Are you sure?" I nodded my head as a response. He has to know. If we both want to be together, I think he should know about it.

"He cheated on my Mama so many times." He looked shocked but I didn't mind it and continues to talk about it.

"One time I was having a fever. That day is a Sunday, he says we will go to church. Only me and my Papa, I forgot why its only the two of us but that's it." I laughed and he smiled. He never said a word to interrupt me. He's respectful.

"So after the mass, we even bought medicine and pasalubongs. After that, we rode a jeep to go home. While we are seated at a jampacked jeep, I saw him texting someone. I saw him typing 'Pauwi na kami, Mahal'. I never asked him about it until we got home." His mouth opens because of shock.

"Please continue." He said in urgency as if he was dying to know what happens next. So I obliged.

"I asked my Mama, 'Did you receive Papa's text, Mama?' My mother looked at me as if she had no idea about what I was talking about." Castro covers his mouth in shock.

"Moments later, she realizes it and looked at my Papa angrily. It was an emotional evening. Until then, every time I get sick, I'll assume that my Papa is cheating again."

"Why though?"

"Because every time I'm sick, we always discovered that he had a chick at the time being." His reaction never changed. I nodded and smiled at him.

"That's why you never been in a relationship?" Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"Siguro. I've had only a few male friends. Some of them, we see each other as brothers and sisters. A few of them were biologically male but in their hearts, they are a female." Tumango-tango naman siya.

"Thank you for sharing it to me. I'm sorry you have to get through that." He sympathetically said.

"Man, kanina pa ako naiiyak tapos sasabihin mo 'yan." Tuluyan na nga akong naiyak kaya nataranta siya. Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko para hindi niya makita ang mukha ko habang umiiyak.

"Hey, I'm sorry." He patted me in the head. Mas lalo akong umiyak ng dahil sa ginawa niya. Naramdaman ko na lang na niyakap niya ako.

"Anong ginawa mo sa kaniya?" Rining kong ani ni Ivan. Boses pa lang alam kong siya na iyon. Humiwalay naman si Castro sa akin. Pinunasan ko muna ang pisngi ko bago ako tumingin kay Ivan. Kasama pala niya sina Cristiano at Prince.

"At bakit siya umiiyak?" Napameywang naman si Cristiano habang naglalakad papalit sa amin si Ivan. Si Prince naman ay masamang tinignan si Castro.

"Wala siyang ginawa sa akin, okay?" Tinignan ko sila isa-isa para ipakita na nagsasabi ako ng totoo. Si Ivan naman ay nakaluhod sa harap ko habang pinupunasan ang mukha ko gamit ang panyo niya.

"E bakit ka naiyak kung ganoon?" Malditang tanong ni Prince habang naroon pa rin ang masamang tingin kay Castro. Sasagot na sana ako nang magsalita si Castro.
