Disobedience

Chapter 8: Manchild

Kimberly Jane

"Look who decided to come home to me." Halos mapamura naman ako nang marinig ko ang nakakainis na boses ni Travis, matapos kong buksan ang pintuan nitong apartment.

"Goddåmn it." I cussed under my breath.

I decided to drop by here at our shared apartment after I left the campus to get the rest of my things, which is not even a lot. Once upon a time, I was stupid enough to actually try to make it work with this åsshole who is currently sitting on the living room couch, his nasty feet with long uncut nails propped up on the coffee table. He was wearing nothing but boxers and god, it was not attractive at all. He was never to me.

I decided to drop by now since I thought he was going to be out partying, which he always does even at three in the afternoon. He will find a shîthole to party into, but apparently not today. I shut the door and ignored him. I entered the bedroom that we're supposed to share and I saw women's underwear and size small cóndoms on the floor, which looks like they can only accommodate three inches.

The room smells like body odor and sweat which makes me want to throw up. I walked to the side where I left three formal attire of mine. When I pulled the wooden doors open, I was greeted by empty hangers.

"Oh, I gave Kiera and the other girls your clothes since I ripped their party dresses last week."

My fist balled. There is nothing in my chest. No jealousy at all, I have nothing but rage and resentment for this man.

I slowly turned around and I saw him leaning on the doorway. His round stomach popping out, his black slightly curly hair long and overgrowned. The mustache that he insists on keeping resting above his crusty dried lips.

"You gave your women my clothes?" Hindi ko makapaniwalang tanong habang nakatingin sa kanya. He barely reaches five-seven, so I don't even need to look up to see his eyes.

"Well, my dad gave my allowance late so I couldn't give them money at that time, they saw the closet and they said they'll just take the clothes." He shrugged like nothing was wrong with that.

"Those are Brunello Cucinelli and each piece is handmade and costs me two hundred thousand pesos minimum and regardless of the price, it wasn't yours to give away!"

"It's your fault you left it here." He shrugged.

Pagak akong natawa.

"It is really exhausting to interact with imbeciles like you."

Nawala ang nang-aasar niyang ngisi.

"Just because you have your fancy degrees and your little law office, you think you can call me imbecile and you think you're better than me?"

I chuckled humorlessly. He's emasculated by me because I am what he will never become.

"Oh, dear. I didn't just call you an 'imbecile' . I have evidence to back that up and if I list every reason that makes you an extremely stupid man, we will be here all night long. And I don't think I am better than you. I know I am better than you, åsshole. Not only because of my fancy degrees, but also  because I don't need to pay people to sleep with me and I don't rely on daddy to put food in my mouth."

"You fúcking bîtch." He charged towards me, I caught his hands that were about to attack and gave him a mean slap on the cheek before I stepped on his feet.

"Ow!" He yelled in pain.

When I pushed him with all my strength, I made sure he landed on his face. My heels clicked as I stepped on his side, I then lifted my heel and placed the red bottom of my shoe on the back of his neck.

"Hindi ako makahinga!" He rested his cheek on the floor.

"Subukan mo ulit akong saktan at ako mismo ang sisira sa puhunan mo. Naiintindihan mo?"

His face makes him worthy somehow since he's a 'social media influencer'

He spat on the ground. I stepped harder on his neck.

"I didn't hear the answer."

"Okay, you psycho bítch! I hear you!" He yelled. "But you know what? You can't leave me, Kim. You know you can't!"

I gritted my teeth.

Travis Omulsen, son of a bigger åsshole Senator Brandy Omulsen, claims that he's an extreme conservative and right-wing politician who was against women's choices until his own mistress got pregnant and he forced her to get an åbortion.

News flash she didn't and she gave birth to Travis instead.

Brandy Omulsen was all about preaching about the Lord's words when he is so greedy he charges twice the rent of his apartments and against building shelters for the homeless. Given the nature of Travis' mom, Brandy refused to acknowledge Travis for many years and kept him hidden and silenced through money.

But when my father told Brandy that he's interested in running for office next year, suddenly Travis matters to Brandy now. My 'romantic relationship' with Travis boosted Brandy Omulsen's image in a way that the public is starting to see Travis as a successful man with a clearly accomplished girlfriend who is also the daughter of a renowned Judge. He is no longer a bastard child, Travis became a pawn to his political show.

So this fúcker won't let me go because I became the reason why his father was suddenly seeing him and paying attention to him.

I stepped off of his neck and he scrambled to get up from the floor, clearly afraid to touch me again.

"You are a crazy bîtch."

"If I am crazy, what does that make you?" I fired back. Hindi siya nakasagot at halos patayin niya ako ng tingin. Continuous knocks on the door then distracted him.

"Oh, there goes my booty call." Mayabang na naman niyang sabi. "Don't worry, there's gonna be an NDA like always. I have a lot of girls."

I laughed like I pitied him.

"If I were you, I wouldn't really brag about 'having many girls' because why would a woman come back for the second time if the séx is not good?" Nanunuya kong sagot.

He glared at me again.

"And I don't think I'm missing a lot anyway." I eyed his crotch with pity, since it clearly has little to nothing.

My heels then clicked when I started walking away.

"Isusumbong kita kay Daddy at kay Tito Holt! Lagot ka talaga!"

I shook my head. He is literally a manchild.

"Don't worry. I'll see him for dinner tonight at ako na mismo ang magsusumbong para sa'yo." Sarkastiko kong sagot.
