I Hate You with All my Heart!

Chapter 4 (unedited)

Sumo Sam's, 1215 PM. Gateway, Araneta Center Cubao.

"Kassy are you OK?" Charlie was seating beside Kassy who kept twisting her paper napkin since they sat down, she's on her third glass of iced tea.

"I'm OK, I just want this over and done with. I can't believe I have to look at Dee Gee again." Kassy sighed.

"Dee Gee?"

"Yeah, short for DisGusting!"

" Hahaha!" Charlie and Kassy were laughing when Zandro entered the restaurant and saw them. And now he has seen her in the light of day...

"Ehem"

Both Charlie and Kassy turned their heads at the same time. Zandro remembered Char when they were in high school, he was a decent fellow, really smart kid but of course, he's smarter. Charlie was considered a geek back then but he wasn't lacking in the looks department,good looking but of course, he's more gorgeous. With that thought, Zandro gave Kassy his most beautiful smile, the smile that has loosened female underwear since he became aware of the power of his Greek god gorgeousness.

Kassy did not smile back, in fact, she was looking at him like he didn't take a shower, like he's the most disgusting thing she ever saw. Zandro felt that alien feeling again of...

"Zandro! Do you still remember me?" Charlie held out his hand. Zandro shook it.

"Of course, Charlie Davey Juanting, Char for short. How have you been?"

"I've been good, how about you?"

"I was feeling good until I got this pain on my left jaw..."

"Mmmm Zandro this is Kassy...Kassy, Zandro..." Charlie made the polite introduction.

Zandro held out his hand, Kassy took it, Zandro felt her touch. Did the floor move?

"Hi!" Kassy made sure her handshake was as firm as she could make it. For a rich guy, Zandro has some calluses.

"Hey!" Zandro felt her tight grip, he felt something else tighten on his pants. What the hell is going on? He did take some Tylenol before he came here, Zandro shook his head to clear it.

"Everybody is here!" Enrique just arrived, gave Charlie a shoulder hug. He gave Kassy a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey beautiful!" And gave Kassy a wink.

"Hi baby!" Kassy answered back that elicited a laugh from both Charlie and Ricq.

"So what the fuck are we doing here?" Zands sliced through that cheap flirtation. This Kassy is not only a war freak, she's also easy-to-get.

"Zands, calm down." Ricq elbowed him, "Let's sit down and order lunch before we get on with why we are all here."

Charlie and Kassy sat next to each other while Zandro and Ricq sat on the other side of the table. Zandro was facing Kassy, Charlie was facing Ricq. When the waiter came, they gave their orders.

While waiting for the food, Kassy kept busy with her tablet while the three guys started talking. She can feel Zandro looking at her, when she peeked, she was right, he was looking at her. Politeness stopped her from asking him what the hell is he staring at her for! Instead she winked at him before she returned her attention to her tablet.

Zandro didn't think she will do that, he was looking at her because he wants to make her feel uncomfortable, he wants her to become self-conscious, but...

Their food arrived.

It seems that Kassy and Ricq knew each other. Zands was half listening to them, he picked out they went to a beach outing last year, they went out...wait! They dated?!
