The Million Dollar Woman

Chapter 52

"WHAT do you want to know?"

Umirap ako. "Ugh. Kakasabi ko lang,"
Nanliliit ang mga mata nya akong tiningnan.

"Who's using who?"

"Sabi nya you're just using me and your girlfriend told me to fck off because she thought I came here for you,"

"She's not my girlfriend." Nanliliit parin ang mga mata nyang sabi.

"Friends with benefits?" I smirked as his expression face into deadpan.

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me." Pertaining to that one incident I saw at the mansion.

"Does that make it less sensual?" Tumaas ang kilay nya sa sinabi ko. "From what I can remember dati, you two seems so close everyone would assume you're a thing. I was there Luciel, I almost saw everything."

"Not everything." mahina nyang sagot at niyuko ng bahagya ang ulo. "It's complicated. One time she's just my childhood friend then suddenly she's throwing herself to me."

"Then, why can't you get rid of her?"

His tongue moves in the side of this mouth with a lop sided smirk. As if he's amused by what I said.

"You're asking me to get rid of her?"

Again. Umirap ako. "No. If you're not a thing, then why are you letting her? It's like you're loving what you two were always doing,"

"So?"

"So?!" This dumbass! "So, we should stop whatever this is," I explained with hand gestures pa due to frustrations.

"Hmm? This what?"

This guy!

"Tsk. Whatever." umikot ako paharap sa counter kasabay ang katawan. "Tabi," tapik ko sa braso nyang kino corner ako sa countertop.

Binitawan nya naman agad iyon at tumabi, pinag krus nya ang braso at sinandal ang likod sa countertop habang ramdam ko ang titig nya sakin.

"I'm not into her Ziaren." she stated as he touched some tips of my hair, playing with it.

"No.. that's.." Why do I care anyway? Why do I sounds like a jealous girlfriend? Ano ako, teenager? Tsk.

"I don't mean to say it like that.. I just.. I feel like she's being immature and I don't like it when she's picking a fight with me over some petty things," patuloy ang pagtitimpla ko ng coffee. "How old is she? 12? Ugh." Irap ko.

A little smirk escaped his lips.

I continued, "If she wants you then, I don't care. Palamon ko pa sa kanya ng buo eh."

"Papamigay mo nalang ako?" I looked at him, bewildered.

His blank face stared at me. I was actually expecting a sulky face but all I see is coldness.

His emotions are too limited.

"You're acting like you two haven't done it yet,"

There. I hit the spot, I saw him move his jaw and avoided my gaze.

As expected. Hindi sya sumagot. Binalik ko ang tingin sa ginagawa at inusog ang gawa kong kape sa side niya. Tiningnan nya yun saka umangat sakin ang mata nya.

"I was a delinquent." Nagtataka ko syang tinitigan.

"When that happened," he continued.

"I was drunk. Just won a street race, she drove me home."

I sipped my coffee. Wow, he's actually story-telling!

"Illegal yun diba? Street race."

He nodded.
