Art of being a Player...

Lying

"Fire her!" galit na sabi ko kay Cian pagkapasok na pag kapasok namin sa kwarto ko sa Condo.

"I can't!" parang frustrated na sagot ni Cian.

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya, napakuyom ako ng palad sa pagpipigil ko na wag umiyak. I don't know why pero naiiyak talaga ako, feeling ko ang emotional ko kahit hindi naman ako talaga ganito.

"Why can't you fire her?!"

"Gorg, please understand I can't just fire her just because you say so." He said while massaging his temple.

"Why not? that girl is your Fuck buddy! You can't expect me to just let you work with that girl!"

"She was Gorg, Was.. past tense that was before when I was still a PLAYBOY, before I even met you!"

"So you're saying that you'll continue working with her? That girl is planning to get you back! Can't you see that?"

"Stop it Gorg! She won't do that! Matagal na kaming tapos! What we have now is nothing but business..work related. So please don't let your jealousy over rule your emotion." Madilim ang mukha nyang sabi.

"What? So you're thinking that nagkaka ganito ako because I am jealous?! My God Cian! She told me herself that she's planning to be your bed partner again! What do you expect me to feel?" naiiyak kong sabi.

"Carra.." seryoso ang boses na tawag nya saakin. "Things are cleared between us, kaya she won't say that to you..just stop overthinking—"

"I'm telling you the truth! She said that!" I yelled.

Napahilamos sya ng mukha sabay pikit, he looks tired.

"Please Carra, I'm tired and I have a lot of things to do..please wag mo nang dagdagan. Let's just sleep we are both tired." He said before he removed his coat.

Napatalikod ako sakanya kasabay nang pagpatak ng luha ko.

He doesn't believe me.. mas pinaniniwalaan pa nya yung babaeng yun.

"F-fine.. let's just sleep.. please go back to your condo, I want to sleep now." I said without looking at him.

"Gorg.."

"Please don't forget to lock the door." I said before going inside my bathroom.

"Carra, are you alright? You look pale?" Luke asked.

"Yeah.." sagot ko. Pagkagising na pagkagising ko ay masama na ang pakiramdam ko. Masakit ang ulo ko maybe dahil kakaiyak kagabi, tapos nahihilo pa ako maybe dahil hindi ako nakapagbreakfast kanina..hangang ngayon wala akong ganang kumain. I just want to go home and sleep, feeling ko antok na antok ako.

"You don't look fine. You look as if you're going to pass out." Shawn said.

"Eat, you're not eating.."Nate said.

Pero umiling lang ako.

"Come on you have to eat!" James said as he forced me his fork with garlic pasta, I don't have a choice but to it eat kahit na feeling ko ang baho baho ng amoy ng garlic. Pinilit kong lunukunin, pero after ko malunok di kinaya nang sikmura ko, feeling ko nasusuka ako kaya tinakpan ko ang bibig ko at tumayo para tumakbo papuntang wash room pero bago ako tuluyang makapunta ng wash room ay nakasalubong ko si Cian kaya napahinto ako sa pagtakbo. Nakatakip parin ang kamay ko sa bibig ko, he was about to say something when I decided to run, hindi ko na kaya nasusuka na talaga ako.
