The Campus Mistress Meets The Playboy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 19: Inlove

Chapter 19: Inlove

ROXANNE

Nagtaas ako ng tingin when I heard fast footsteps aproaching. The door opened and Joshua came into my view.

Lumapit sa akin si Joshua na may  ngiti sa labi. Andito kami ngayon sa loob ng theater room. Kaming dalawa  lang. He wore his cute pink polo and black slacks. He didn't looked gay in pink he looked — feminine. I giggled — bagay naman talaga sa kanya yung pink dahil sa friendly personality niya.

"Hey gorgeous." He greeted me and I smiled back. Huminto siya mismo sa harapan ko. I noticed how pinkish his lips are — perfect match with his pink polo. I really wanna have a taste.

"I came here to apologize. Sa nangyari noong naka—" I didn't let him finished his sentence.

I placed my lips against Josh. I felt him stunned. I'm sorry Josh. I didn't moved my lips. I just wanna feel him. Seconds later, dahan dahan akong lumayo sa kanya as he stared at me - shock written all over his face.

"You dare cheat on me, Poison." Pareho kaming napatingin sa babaeng nagmamay-ari ng boses. Ang babae ay nakatayo malapit sa pintuan. Her eyes were blank but with clenched fist.

Samantha Rain.  She saw it. She saw us. She saw everything.

——

The room looked like trash — far from being clean and organized room I knew. I saw him in his bedroom. Nakakalat ang mga bote ng alak. Ohmygod! Alas tres pa lang ng hapon pero heto na si Joshua at naglalasing na. The kiss we shared happened  three days ago. Kumalat na rin sa buong school ang balitang paghihiwalay nina Joshua at  Samantha.

"Bakit mo ginawa yun? I trusted you Roxanne. Akala ko kaibigan kita. You.. " He sounded betrayed. I felt a pang in my chest. Nagbaba ako ng tingin. I can't bear to look at him — in that state. Broken. Hurt. And betrayed.

"I'm sorry Josh." Yun lang ang kaya kong sabihn. Nagiguilty ako. This man .. I broke this man. This good man .. was beyond broken.

"I don't wanna see you. Get out." His words were harsh. Galit siya. Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib. He can hurt me. How come this guy can cause needle-like stab and pain in my chest? His words suffocate me. I almost can't breathe everytime he threw hurtful words at me.

"Josh dont be like this. I'm sorry okay.I'll talk to Samantha. I'll explain to her. Sasabihin ko, wala kang kasalanan." I try to reason out. Ayokong magalit siya sakin.

Umiling iling si Josh. "You don't know her. You know nothing Roh." Tumungga ulit ito ng alak.

"Josh.." Gusto ko siyang pigilan sa pag-inom pero natatakot ako sa pwede niyang gawin sa akin.

"You know nothing about us. You .. you broke us. NO! You broke ME! Now LEAVE!" He shouted at me and it hurts.

Kaibigan ko si Joshua. Mabuti siyang kaibigan pero anong ginawa ko? Anong nagawa ko? Wala sa plano ko ang nangyari. Wala dapat  doon si Samantha. Hindi niya dapat nakita yun. Hindi dapat nangyayari 'to.

I shut my eyes and I promise that I will make things right. For Joshua.

Tumawid ako ng kalsada at pumasok ng naturang coffee shop. I saw a short haired girl in her jeans. I walked towards her.

"Samantha, I wanna talk to you." Lakas loob kong sabi. Pakiramdam ko sinasakal ako sa mga oras na 'to.

"What is it?" She didn't even give me a single glance. Patuloy pa rin siyang nakatingin sa labas ng coffee shop. Naupo ko sa kanyang harapan at saka huminga ng malalim.

"About Josh. About what happen that night. It was nothing. Ako ang humalik. I kissed him. He didn't kiss me back." Tulo-tuloy ang aking paliwanag. I wanted her to understand na walang kasalanan si Josh.

"What are you trying to say?" Walang gana niyang tanong sa akin. Nakakapikon ang reaksyon ni Samantha Rain. Hindi ganitong reaksyon ang gusto kong makita sa mukha niya.

"He loves you. Joshua needs you. He wants you back. Give him a chance." Frustrated kong sabi.

"He got his chance. I trusted him. But he betrayed me." This time she looked at me with accusing eyes.

"No he didn't. It 's my fault." Pagdepensa ko kay Joshua.

"You know what Roxanne. I don't care about the truth. I don't care about the kiss or.. You sleeping with my boyfriend.OH! EX-boyfriend. I just don't fucking care." Oh my god! She thinks I sleep with Josh.

"I didn't—"  bago ko pa makontra ang iniisip ni Samantha, tumayo na ito.

"He's all yours now." Yun lang at iniwan na ako ng babae. Oh my god! Anong nagawa ko? Ngayon pa ko nakonsensya. Walangya! Nanghihina akong umuwi ng bahay. Iniisip ko kung paano aayusin ang gulong nasimulan ko.

Pero mas nagulat ako ng matagpuan ko si Hunter sa aking sofa — sa loob ng apartment ko. Yeah! Merong spare key si Villegas ng apartment ko. Kailan pa siya nakabalik?

Bukod sa pagkagulat, I am glad he's back. No, I am overjoyed that my secret safe haven was back. He always came whenever I am in trouble. I mean whenever I make troubles. He knows everthing. About me. About my mistakes. About my past. And how lonely I am. Ngayon, makakahinga na ko. Now, I realized how much I need him right now. To fix everything. To correct my mistakes. To calm me down. To tell me that I am not a bad person. I need him. I need Hunter Grey Villegas. My playboy.

Hahakbang na sana ako papunta sa kanya pero nang pinasadahan ko siya ng tingin. I felt that something had changed. He looked.. different. Oo gwapo pa rin siya. Magandang mga mata na may mahahabang pilik mata. Matangos na ilong at manipis at mapulang labi. He wore a plain black t-shirt and pants. He sat like a king. Pero may kulang. Alam ko, may kulang—his signature smile. The playful aura of Hunter Grey Villegas. I can't find it while gawking at him right now.

Oh god! I missed him. How I missed this guy. I wanna hug this greek god. I wanna tell him how much I missed his laugh, smile and his corny jokes. Gusto ko siyang batukan at sigawan for leaving without saying goodbye a month ago. But .. I can't do it. Somethings off. The way he looked at me right now, he's mad. Why?

"A-ano yan?" Nakita kong may inilapag si Villegas sa mesa. Lumapit ako to found out .. a key in my table.

"A deal is a deal." His voice was deep. No trace of his playfullness. Even how much I missed his voice, I still noticed the tone he used.

"W-what are you—" Hunter stood and walked towards me. "The car is yours." So susi ito ng kotse niya. Susi ni Romeo. Anong ibig sabihin nito? I'm confused.

"We had a deal. If you successfully make him cheat.. to my cousin. The car will be yours. But if you failed, then you're mine."

"Hunter." I whispered his name. Nanalo ako. Hell yeah! Nanalo ako. Pero .. bakit hindi ako natutuwa? Bakit hindi ko siya magawang pagtawanan? Asarin? Tulad ng dati .. sa tuwing natatalo siya sa pustahan namin. I will call him loser. But this time, I felt different. Everything felt different.

"You hate me." His harsh words shocked me. Hunter made a sarcastic laugh. Ramdam ko bigat ng bawat hakbang na ginawa niya papunta sa akin.  Huminto siya sa mismong harapan ko. Then he looked deeply into my eyes.

"You hate the fact that I'm inlove with you." Namilog ang aking mga mata dahil sa narinig. Is he confessing right now? He's what? He's — INLOVE WITH ME! The PLAYBOY is inlove with me? Pitong pangit na palaka! Fuck me!
