A few days passed, and Jazz finally initiated the date to Heart, making her succumb to her fantasies.
Back at Eugene's villa, the clean, spacious interior had once again been demolished by the chaos of battle. Guns fired, blades clashed, curtains slashed, tables destroyed, and chairs wrecked. Every corner of the villa was becoming a total mess, yet I wasn't getting tired. Eugene, on the other hand, was beginning to show signs of exhaustion.
"What are your plans?" he asked between breaths, his panting evident. I didn't reply; my mind was too preoccupied with something else.
"Medusa!" Eugene raised his voice slightly, snapping me back to the present, causing us to pause our fight momentarily.
"Do you want to leave your past behind and start anew?" Eugene asked earnestly.
"Yes. But I still want to resume training, just in case I have to protect him."
"Man...I envy him." Eugene adored and fired a gun at my head, I evaded it easily and our fights continued again.
Our fights became light but our movements never wavered. "Your mood seems uplifted than usual." Eugene says while clashing my stiletto with his swords casually.
"Is that so?" I replied, our reflection passing briefly in a mirror. It was then I noticed I was smiling—smiling while fighting Eugene, with my mind still wandering to the dress I should pick for my upcoming date.
I tried to root myself back in the present, "I'll take you on a date real soon."
PERO HINDI KO KAYA?!?!?! ?DATE?!??!?? AAAJJSHHHSHHSHSHSHSHSHHSSHSHSHSBXXBBXXBXBBX
BUONG BUHAY KO HINDI PA AKO NAKIKIPAGDATE?!
I was unknowingly grinning from the countless imaginations I have with Jazz, what should I do?!
Modess, slutty, formal, wWHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I PICK?!
I was so excited, so overstimulated, that I nearly sliced at Eugene out of sheer adrenaline. He caught my stiletto by its edge, traded by cutting my cheek just enough to make it bleed. "Heart, you seem too agitated," Eugene said, his eyes gleaming with concern.
"I can't train today," I admitted, barely containing the pent-up energy. My mind was racing, and I didn't know who to turn to. Franchesca? No way, she's Jazz's sister—I couldn't let her see me like this, spiraling over her brother. Steffani? We're not that close, and she probably sees me as some honorable manager. Potato? Still not sure if that's even an option.
I didn't wince in pain, I took a soft cloth and pressed my cheeks that soaked in the blood as we take a rest and drank a pint of water.
-Wait!
That's right! Styx! The dress to impress connoisseur!
"Can I invite styx here?" I eagerly asked Eugene.
"The detective who slapped Potato? He's more than welcome!" Eugene said and I pumped up excitedly, he was just staring at me with my brand new energy.
Tinawagan ko si Styx, "Oh! Putangina natutulog akesh!" Sabi niya.
"Punta ka dito kay Eugene?!" Panalangin kong sana tanggapin niya, I gave him the address on the messenger already and he left me on read for atleast twenty seconds and in silence.
"Ay natutulog ako at wag mo muna ako istor—
"May date ako!" Sigaw ko.
"On the way!" Sigaw nya at wala pang isang oras, nakatayo na siya sa tapat ng villa at may dalang sewing box, measurements, naka pajama pa siya at mukhang aligaga pa.
