The Love Con

Chapter 17

Ngayon lang. Ngayon lang talaga ako naging ganito kabaliw. Hindi ko na iniisip kung anong ginagawa ko at pinapasok ko. Lahat ng 'yon ay dahil kay Gab. Pakiramdam ko naman ay magkakaro'n ng magandang resulta lahat ng 'to 'no?

Ewan.

Pagpasok ko pa lang sa club, ramdam ko na ang mga tinginan ng mga tao sa loob, especially boys. All I can see in their eyes is lust, only that. I know that they only want me for pleasure, not because they like me.

It's the first time a guy told me those things, and it's Gab who said those. The first time I felt like getting married? Really, huh, Avi? I don't want any other man, I only want him and him only. Siya lang ang gusto ko, at gugustuhin ko pa.

"Oh! Avi, it's been a while!" rinig ko sa mga nag-iinuman na mga lalaki at babae

I smiled lightly at them.

Proceed to the plan now! I roamed my eyes around to find Gab and Zaphira's table. I think Harvey's not here pa. Kinuha ko saglit ang phone ko para i-text siya.

Me: Where are you?

Agad naman itong nag-reply.

Harvey: Behind you.

Agad akong lumingon sa likuran ko. Nandito na nga siya. As usual, he's handsome. He is wearing a beige longsleeve polo that is rolled to his forearm. A black slacks and a black shoes. Lumapit siya sa akin at bineso ako, hindi na ako nakapagprotesta dahil ang bilis ng aksyon niya. I sighed, before smiling at him.

"You really came, huh?"

"Of course I will, it's you who invited me here. I'll do anything for you." he said smirking

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes

I laughed a bit.

"So... I know you have a reason why you invited me here. Tell me, Amara." I saw how he looks at me, it was a playful look

"Why? Hindi mo ba gusto?" I playfully said before slowly fixing his polo. Natingin siya sa polo niya bago dahan-dahang tumitig muli sa akin. He looks at me amused.

"Of course, I do want it."

"Good. Let's go na."

Kumapit ako sa braso ni Harvey habang naglalakad kami papunta sa table nila Gab. Nang makita ko sila ay lalong nagliwanag ang mukha ko.

Hindi pa man kami nakakalapit ni Harvey ay napatingin na sa amin si Gab. Ang seryoso niyang mukha kanina habang kinakausap siya ni Zaphira ay nag-iba, lalo na nang makita niyang may kasaman ako. His eyes darkened. When his eyes drifted at Harvey, his eyes became more dark.

"Oh you're here!— with someone, huh?" Nahinto si Zaphira nang makitang may kasama ako.

"Oh yeah, naisipan kong isama ang friend ko. Is that okay with you guys?" a smile crept on my lips

I looked at Harvey and smiled at him too. He looks confused as hell! I'm so sorry Harvey.

"Of course, it's fine! Mas masaya kapag marami. Right, Gab?" Zaphira asked Gab, but Gab's eyes are fixated on me. I can feel that.

Umupo na rin kami ni Harvey sa couch. We sat in front of them.

Gab nodded lightly in response because drinking a shot. I saw how his adam's apple moved. He is so... hot. Damn. With his plain black oversized shirt now. With a black bottoms and a black shoes. He will really be everyone's type!
