I fixed myself and drink some medicine for my hangover. Pagkatapos ay pinuntahan ko ang aking cellphone. When I opened it, there are many messages. Mostly greeting me a happy birthday but I don't know if I should be. Shawn is being unpredictable I don't even know why he act like that. How can I be happy if there is an approaching danger in my life.
Pagbukas ko ng gc ay tinatanong nila ako kung nakauwi na ako. I answered them all. I downloaded all of the photos and posted some of it. It gained multiple likes, shares and comments. I also open Radon message.
'Hi! Happy birthday! Nakauwi ka ba ng maayos?' Right, we were dancing when Shawn suddenly dragged me. I don't know what happened to him. I type a reply.
'Yes, thank you! How about you?' he instantly replied back.
'I am fine too. Can we meet tomorrow? If it's alright with you.' I agreed because I still don't have schedule for tomorrow and I think I owe him this.
Almost of my friends are still not replying back. It seems like they are still asleep. Nagscroll lamang ako sa mga messages ng mahagip ng aking mata ang isang pamilyar na pangalan.
Alessa Grace Lopez sent you a message.
I opened it and she greet me too. I didn't reply back. Shawn is already too much of a headache I don't want any additional one. I wonder if she already know what Shawn is up to. I mean they are always together for the last few months.
Kinabukasan ay pumunta ako sa meeting place namin ni Radon. I just wore a black fitted turtle neck dress and a 3 inches heels. I also wore a coat and a pair of gold earrings. Pagkalabas ko ay nadoon na sya he's waiting for me. We smile as we greet each other. We are in a fine dining restaurant and it's already 7 pm. Pagkadating namin sa reserve table ay ipinaghila nya ako ng bangko.
"Thank you." He smile and sit across me. We ordered foods and talk while they are preparing it.
"Chantal, I know I don't have the rights to ask this but who is that guy? Do you really have a relationship." I know he's referring to Shawn.
"It's fine you can asked me. I know at some point I gave you something that makes you believe that there might be an us. Also, I owe you an explanation." I know it. I know he likes me but I still maintain a contact. I almost let him kiss me.
"Thank you. I thought I'm overstepping my boundaries." he look so relieved.
"Shawn and I never have a labeled relationship. I know you might be disappointed but we slept together for a few times but it's long over." I know he deserve to know this. He has a good intentions and I know that he really respect me. If he can't accept what I did I'll understand. At least I came clean to him.
" I am not disappointed what are you saying. I am not shallow. I know that you know it but I really like you. I like you so much." He said with full of sincerety. I don't think I deserve this guy.
"So I want to do it properly. I really want to court you but if you already like someone or if you are committed then I'll just admire you from afar." My heart almost melt. He's like a walking green flag. This is the love that Chantal deserve and I think this is what I deserve too. Not some twisted obsession.
" I don't know what to say. Honestly, I never dated before. I know you have good intentions but I really don't know how to handle this." I mean when I was Lia I dated few guys but I was never physical (Sexual) with them. Chantal on the other hand, have physical but not labeled.
" I understand, I just want to ask you this so I'll know what to do. " he hold my hand and look straight to my eyes.
"Do you still like him?" Umiling ako sa kanya.
"No, I don't like him anymore." He smile to me.
"Then that's more than enough. I want to court you. I don't know if you have feelings for me but I'll do everything to prove myself to you." I also smiled at him. Magsasalita sana ulit ako ng dumating ang pagkain namin. The waitress kindly bow before she walks away. We started eating, I was about to put the food in my mouth ng tumunog ang cellphone ko.
'Shawn calling' I rejected the call. He's bugging me since yesterday. He's messaging me nonstop. I even blocked his number but he just change into new one hanggang nagsawa na ako kakablock sa kanya. I can't just change my number because it has many important contact. He's asking mo to go back to his company and whatever shit he could think of. Ibinaba ko ang aking cellphone at muling kumain. I don't wanna be rude to Radon.
Nakakaisang subo pa lamang ako ng muling tumunog ang cellphone ko. I rejected it again but this time he sent me messages.
'You're ignoring me huh.'
'You enjoying your time with that bastard? ' what the? How did he know that I'm with him. Is he spying on me?
'You are making me real mad, my Chantal. Real mad.'
'You are really testing my patience baby.'
'I hope you are ready to face the consequences of your disobedience.'
He's irritating. I close my phone at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain habang nakikipagkwentuhan kay Radon.
He told me na I shouldn't be bothered with his confession and courtship because he's not pressuring me. He said he's just giving his shot and if things didn't work out at least he tried. He's such a positive guy. I know how sincere he is. I want to be with this kind of guy.
Nangangalhati pa lamang ako sa aking kinakain ng muling tumunog ang aking cellphone. Agad naman akong napatayo sa nabasa ko.
'I'm losing my sanity. Leave that guy before I shoot his ugly head. I'm dead serious.' napatingin si Radon dahil bigla akong tumayo.
"Why? What happened?" This guy is serious. I know he's really capable of killing someone. He started to give me a countdown.
"Uhm there is an emergency. I'm sorry but I have to go." Tumayo din sya.
"Ihahatid na kita." Nag-aalala nyang wika.
"No!" I almost shouted dahil 3 mins na lang ang nasa countdown. Nasa 3rd floor pa naman kami at baka hindi ako makababa agad.
"I mean I can handle this. Babawi ako sayo sa susunod. Pasensya na talaga." With that I grabbed my purse and hurriedly left that restaurant.
"You're here. I thought there will be a bloodshed tonight." Shawn is casually leaning against my car.
"What the fuck is your problem?! " He look at me with eyes full of madness. This guy is really dangerous.
"You! You are my problem. I told you not to push my button." He took my keys and open the car.
"I didn't do anything to you. Stay out of my life." Hindi nya pinapansin ang aking sinabi.
"You know my answer to that. Now, get in the car before I really kill that bastard." His voice is full of seriousness. I followed him out of my will. I really don't have any other choice. He smile triumphantly and drove my car.
