Mr. Wrong (Mr. Series #1)

Chapter 11

"Let's make this thing clear, Sheen May. I am going to say everything I discovered in exchange for us dating again."

I gasped, looking for a way out of his bait. "Tell me what you discovered and give me solid proof of it. If I am convinced, I will consider dating you again." I never let his eyes look away from me. I want him to see that I am dead serious this time, even though my heart is beating like it's in a serious war, afraid of what I will discover if I choose to uncover those traps.

"Alright, I will tell you everything after this project."

Napakunot ang noo ko. "Bakit hindi pa ngayon?"

"So you won't have a choice but to stick to me."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I don't have a choice. God knows how I really hate you," I responded.

"I know; that's why I'm here to fix everything. I want you back, Sheen."

I tried to maintain my composure despite what he said. Anne is really right; maybe this freaking man thought I was still madly in love with him. But the hell, no. Not anymore.

"Bakit? Bakit gusto mo akong bumalik sa 'yo?"

And there he is, in silence. I was about to laugh because I could see his insincerity. I may be harsh, but that's what he deserves. I am not going to let my guard down again.

"I'm not coming back, Jhunel. Never again."

I decided to leave and just go to the mall alone. Gusto kong maglakad-lakad. Masyadong maraming gumugulo sa utak ko. Actually, hindi ako pwedeng mag-isa dahil kapag naiiwan akong mag-isa, I tend to talk to myself. Discuss my problems. Overthink. Lahat sa utak ko... Ang bigat. Ang gulo. Na alam kong hindi ko masosolusyunan na ako lang.

Hindi ko namalayang nakarating na pala ako sa arcade. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako narito. Nakita ko na lang sa kamay ko ang isang punpon ng tokens. I wasn't aware because my mind is out of my brain.

I dropped the token in the coin slot and grabbed the gun to play Time Crisis 5. It is the latest installment in the popular Time Crisis series. I am not a fan of this, pero parang interesting siyang laruin dahil nasa mood akong pumatay ng tao. I mean, I should release my anger in this game instead. I should kill this bunch of guys because they are stressing me out. They did nothing but cause me despair.

Ipinunta ko ang atensyon ko sa screen dahil malapit nang magsimula ang laro. Handa na akong maging murderer nang biglang may isang lalaking naghulog din ng token into the same coin slot of the shooting game I was about to play. We became two players. I frowned at the thought that Jhunel had followed me here, but I saw someone else.

Suddenly, my mind was distracted. I am distracted by the thought that this guy is with me.

"Jhon rey..." pagtawag ko sa kaniya. He looked at me and smiled. "Can I join?"

"S-sure," bulalas ko, still in shock kung bakit siya narito.

I didn't realize the shooting game had already started. I couldn't immediately focus on the game since he was here. Like he's the real meaning of adrenaline rush. He's way too handsome to distract me. Idagdag pa na hindi naman talaga ako marunong maglaro nito. Ang alam ko lang ay kailangan kong itutok ang baril sa kalaban. Nothing less, nothing more. I was here to put my frustration in this game pero hindi ko magawa dahil ang dami ko nang kahihiyan na nakita niya, dadag pa ito.

"Use the pedal," wika ni Jhon Rey na siyang hindi ko naman naintindihan.

"P-pedal?" I asked confusedly. I saw his feet, and it is on the top of the pedal he is talking about. May apakan pala sa ibaba?
