Chapter 10: Not good
ROXANNE
I'm living alone. I am not living with my Mom or my dad. At the age of 20, I am already independent.
I frowned when I saw Villegas standing at my door way. He's holding a bouquet of red roses. What is he doing here?
"I can't eat that."
"Of course Rosie. You can't eat them. They are flowers." Isasarado ko na sana yung pinto nang may pinakita siyang box sa kaliwa nitong kamay.
"And.. I got your pizza." Biglang nagliwanag ang paligid at sa aking mga mata, biglang nagkaroon ng puting pakpak si Villegas. Isa siyang anghel. I restrained myself from jumping out of joy.
"Accept the flower first." He commanded.
Kumurap ak at bumalik sa huwisyo. I have no choice so inabot ko na lang. I used to hate roses. I stared at them. They're pretty but still, I want the pizza instead. Patay gutom po!
"The pizza?" I asked.
Ngumisi na naman yung hinayupak gagong loko lokong Villegas. Saka inabot din naman sakin yung pizza.
Pizza? Roses? Pizza and roses. Pizza and roses.

"You are the best boyfriend ever!"
"I won't eat that."
"Of course you can't eat them prinsesa ko. They are flowers. Eat the pizza instead."

I sighed. I don't want to remember. I really don't want to remember. Roxanne please don't remember. Napapikit ako.

Villegas and I jolted from our seat.
Shit! Nagulat kami. We're now watching Sinister. "Aaahhhh!!!"Uyy, hindi ako yung sumigaw, Villegas did. Magugulatin talaga to. That was not the first time he came to my apartment with a pizza. He was my movie buddy. We we're just movie buddies. That's it. I just loved how he react to horror/suspense movies. Believe me, it was epic!
"Damn it! Why are we watching this?"
"Kasi masaya."
"Anong masaya rito?"
Natawa na lamang ako sa nakikitang takot sa kanyang mukha. That face! The scaredy-cat Villegas! Magkatabi kaming nakaupo sa sofa habang tutok na tutok sa palabas while eating the pizza. We've grown so much closeness after months that he kept pestering me. It's bearable naman sa part ko.
No, I don't hate him. I just don't like him. Maybe because sometimes his words, his actions and especially everytime I look into his eyes, it reminds me of someone.
"Get your ass out of here!" I shouted. After watching the movie, he went straight to my room. My room!
"It's 12 midnight already. Let me sleep here. Please."
"NO! You jerk. Sa sofa ka!"
"No way. If you want, let's play a game." Mukhang wala talagang balak magpatalo 'tong hinayupak na 'to.
"If you win, I'll sleep in the sofa."
"And if.. you win?", tanong ko. Why do I have this feeling that this is not a good idea?
"I'll sleep in this bed.. with you beside me." He grined.
Biglang bumilis ang tibik ng puso ko. Pinilit kong iwasang tingnan ang kanyang mga labi. Asdhjjkllhg! Nakakahiya! Pinagnanasaan ko ba ang playboy na 'to? Get grip Roxanne. Kadiri ka! I scolded myself.

Romance"If I win, your car is mine." "And if I win?", he smirked. He crossed the distance between us. His warm hand touched my left cheek while his right hand was on my hip, holding me tight like he'll never let me go. "YOU ARE MINE." Nabura ang ngiti ko...
