"God, I want to punch your face so bad." Iyon ang nasabi niya habang nakatingin kay Claud na kayakap ang pinsan niyang na nakatingin sa kaniya. Still she doesn't believe that she's pregnant. She hasn't showing signs. Plus it's only been two weeks and for sure she's infertile that time. Maybe.

Kanina pa siya naiinis kay Claud. Parang nanunuya ang lalaki sa kaniya. She was eating quietly as Claud clings to her cousin like she's the air that the breathe. Gusto niyang hagipin ang ulo ng lalaki at iuntog sa hamba ng pintuan.

Wala ba itong salitang 'get a room'?

Habang si Quin naman ay napatingin sa kaniya habang nag hihiwa ito ng karne para sa kaniya. Sa nangyayari parang nahihilo siya minsan baliw ang mga ito at minsan naman pa-baby. Maybe she needs to breathe. Gusto niyang magwaldas bigla ng pera. Baka kulang siya ng ganda therapy.

She sighed as she looked at her cousin who's innocently looking at her as if she didn't told her that she assumed that she's pregnant. Very funny. Papatayin siguro ng tatay niya si Quin kapag nag kataon.

Her family is very religious after all. They believe that intimacy after marriage. I mean, she believes that a woman's worth isn't based on a piece of tissue but she also agrees on the idea of preserving herself for a right mine. People have different beliefs. She has hers, she believed that everything is not it seems and that she tend to prevent things before happening. She was shocked that finally took risk to someone. That is Quin, she's a woman of value yet she let this man get the way on her.

She believes that Quin is that someone she can think of. She hoped that Quin thinks the same. He thinks of marrying her but somehow she believes in marriage on half rate. Nakita niya pano masira ang ilan sa kasal. Hindi kasal ang basihan na mananatili sa kaniya ang tao. She hoped that Quin, won't hurt her in most horrible way. Plus, if she was hurt by Quin she'll make sure he'll be hurt too.

"Labas tayo, tangina. Naiirita na ako sa mukha ng dalawang 'to. Hindi lang sila ang pogi sa Russia. Kahit pa siguro sila lang ang pinakapogi dito, niminsan walang Russia tour na naganap! Kaya lumabas tayo Jenna, please lang." Sabi ko at tinignan ito at ito naman ay agad na tumango. Siguro ay tulad ko ay hindi pa nakapaglialiw sa bansa. Minsan na nga lang mag abroad hindi pa kami namasyal.

Pinasyal nga ako, sa bahay naman at kwarto ng burikat na 'to. Mahapon gumawa ng bata, jusme. Kung ganong gala ang gagawin ko, no thanks nalang. Please lang, mahal ko ang ina at ama ko. Baka igudgod ang mukha ko kay mama mary kapag nalaman nilang hindi na ako birhen. 

We manage to get ready, Jenna and I successfully had their permission for us to roam around. But a condition was dropped, it was that. Kasama sila. Right, you read it damn right. They're both coming with us for no reason. With their status did they really think Jenna and I could have a relief bring our problem shopping? Right, she call Quin her problem, her handsome problem. Her great fucker in bed a problem. She ws seduced alright, hindi nga niya alam kung bakit siya nalandi ng isang 'to. She knew she was fucked the moment his eyes laid on her. 

"For the nth time Quin, stop wrapping your goddamn hands on my waist." Iritado niyang wika. They are taking all of the attention. With the bodyguards and their faces.  She just want to shop in peace. She glared at her man as he stared at her innocently. Pikon siyang inungasan ito. 

Her eyes found her favorite store and she acted like she wasn't held by a man and dragged herself in the store as she scan the dresses she liked.  

"I'm not buying you that." Mabilis na wika ni Quin dahilan tignan niya ito nang masama habang ang mukha nito ay lukot na lukot na. Kung sinong pintor man ang makakakita ay hindi siguro maiisalarawan ang mukha nito.   

"Well, news flash Count I'm rich I can buy it for myself." Sabi niya at pinakita ang black card na meron siya dahilan mapamura ito. She' goddamn rich since she was eighteen and she thinks Quin always forgets that. Or maybe they don't know each other well. After all it takes a year to know someone for better reason she thinks. And she and Quin couldn't even pass the friend vibe check. 

"That's not what I meant." She rolled her eyes at him and took the dress as she walks away Quin persistently explains. 

"I know you can afford it Daphne," I cut him off and faced him again. 

"That sounds sarcastic." I gasped as his eyes widen and shakes his head totally bewildered on what mood I'm in. "Are you implying I'm poor?" I pointed my self and scoffed at him. 

"No that's not what I mean--" 

"Uhuh? FYI, I am a fucking model slash accountant, I'm a registered nurse if you don't know that and I'm fucking rich. And I don't need your opinion... Count." I ended sarcastically making his mouth hanged open as I left. Claud saw it all and I saw him smacked Quin's back as if he's comforting his sole friend. 

He just called me poor! Indirectly. 

If I didn't like that man I would smack his face with the dress that I fucking want and buy dozens of it. 

The audacity. I'm fucking mad to his whole being. 

Jenna found me and smiled at me awkwardly. 

"Kulang nalang sampalin mo si Quin eh, that poor guy. Napakamaldita mo talaga." Wika nito dahilan mapasimangot siya. Galit siya at kung galit siya ay mataray siya. 



Quin's Point of View 


Goddamn

He is speechless and his woman did that. Kulang nalang ay ihampas sa kaniya ang damit na gusto nito. And what he is trying to say is he isn't buying that shit because that dress is fucking sinful after all he is possessive and all of that. 

And Daphne confused him. Goddamn his woman is scarier than the death. He felt the slight smack on his back and gazed it was Claud. Agad sumama ang mukha niya na makitang kulang nalang ay bumuwalghit at magsisigaw sigaw sa tawa. Sayang saya ang gago na nasungitan na naman siya ni Daphne Garcia. 

"Goddamn, that was fierce. Kulang nalang lamonin ang mukha mo sa galit bro." He said making his brows knotted. Yes this brute an speak Tagalog matagal na, and he is fooling Jenna. Hindi niya nga alam bakit hindi nito sinasabi iyon. After Jenna left the palace and pursue her dream Claud studied her language to understand her better. Such love made his dear friend done that. 

"Hindi ko din maintindihan, the next thing I knew she was mad at me. Women are confusing." He complained as he messed his hair making Claud stopped and think.  

"What if my wife was right Quintin, baka buntis talaga si Daphne. I read something, ever since I found out Jenna was pregnant I read book about pregnant things. And hormones was one of them, it can cause changes of moods. Like that, like what she did." Anito parang binubuhay ang dugo siya sa naririnig. He definitely he like what's he hears. What if Daphne was pregnant?  

Wait... 

What if she is?
