Queen Of Bitterness Meets Her Match

Chapter 12 (Part 1)

While time passed by, Xander and I are getting more closer to each other. Hindi ko na siya laging sinusungitan. Even my friends already told me that I've changed for the better.

"Frisch, why do I feel that you changed a lot? Try to look at yourself. Hindi mo na sinusungitan si Fafa Xander." Jeyves said.

Xander is now our topic because he's not here hahaha. We're not stupid enough to talk about him while he's with us.

"Nothing. I just realized that, nakakapangit pala ang sobrang pagsusungit." I joked then laugh.

They also laugh with me. Suddenly, we noticed that Xander is coming in our direction.

"Hi. Good morning." He whispered while he's on my back holding both of my shoulders. He's mouth was too close to my ear so I froze when he spoke.

He seated beside me kaya hindi niya nahalata yung paninigas ko.

"Ayie! Fafa Xander, is it necessary to whisper it to Frisch only?" Kinikilig na tanong ni Ella.

"Of course. Para tagos hanggang puso."He said, proudly.

"Hahaha yeah, it's obvious. We noticed that Frisch froze after you greeted her." Natatawang sabi ni Rufi.

"Huy! Hindi kaya. You're just imagining stupid things!" I defended myself.

"Kaming tatlo na ang nagsasabi. Is that still considered as an imagination?" They also defended.

"I-I don't know! Maybe you're still sleeping now and this is just your dream!" I won't let myself lose to this conversation.

"Psh. Stop that. Frisch was being so defensive. Hahaha." Xander said, then laugh. Nakitawa na rin ang mga kaibigan ko because of him.

"Hindi nga kasi." I just rolled my eyes while saying that.

Our teacher dismissed us early, but I still don't wanna go home yet. I'm only with Xander because my friends still have many projects to finish. While me, I already finished all of that before.

"Why are you still following me? Are you done already with your projects?" I asked Xander who's now beside me.

"Yup. Matagal na. I got all of my free time now. Do you wanna go to mall? 'Cause I still don't feel to go home yet." He invited me.

"Ha? Mall? I didn't brought extra money. I forgot to withdraw my cash and I only have ATM cards now." I said disappointedly.

"Don't think about that. I'm the one who invited you so it's my treat." He said while plastering again that awesome smile in his face.

"Uy! I still have many debts to you. Baka singilin mo ako ha!"

"Don't think about all of those. It's fine if it is all for you." He said while wiggling his brows.

"Sige na nga. Let's go!" I said and grab his hand.

He opened the door in the front seat of his car, so I get in. He's really a gentleman. Sa ibang babae rin

kaya, gentleman din siya? Hmm, nevermind.

As we arrived on the mall, namasyal kami sa mga boutiques at tumitingin tingin ng damit.

"Hi, sir." Greeted by one of the sales lady of this mall.

Kanina ko pa to napapansin ah. Since we came in here, all of the employees that we encounter are always greeting him.

"Hey!" I whispered at him.

"Why do all of the employees here knew you?" I asked, curiously.

Napangisi lang siya and said, "Because we're the owner of this mall."

My mouth turned to a perfect "O" shape, literally because of what I discovered. What?! They own this mall? So that's the reason why everyone here knows him.

Hindi na lang ako umimik because I don't want talking about this.

Nagfit ako ng mga damit at sandals na nagustuhan ko. Marami akong napamili. Ganito talaga ako magshopping. Minsan lang, pero madami.

"OMG! Ang dami kong napamili. Sorry." Sabay peace sign. Siya rin kasi ang nagdala nung mga paperbags ng mga nabili ko. Kawawa naman. Ayaw rin naman niya na ako na lang ang maghawak kahit ilang beses ko siya kumbinsihin.

"Hahaha okay lang. Wait lang ha? Sasabihan ko lang muna yung guard na ilagay to sa loob ng kotse ko." Paalam niya kaya tumango nalang ako. Pagod na ako sa paglalakad kaya napili kong umupo nalang muna. Sobrang yaman pala talaga nila. Infairness, hindi siya mayabang tulad ng ibang mayayaman.

Pagkabalik ni Xander,napagdesisyunan namin na kumain nalang muna sa isang mamahaling restaurant. Pinilitko nga siya na sa fastfood chain na lang kami kumain kasi sobra-sobra na anggastos niya sakin pero mapilit din talaga siya eh.
