Love is a Trap

Chapter 3

Weekdays passed and Alfonso remained silent which is unusual. Since the engagement was announced to the public, Alfonso would always show up around watching over my every move. Was he that busy or did he get tired already? Whatever his reason is, it benefits me now that he no longer tails me around.

Early in the morning, Sceeya and I went to the gym to have some workout. Zey and Sceeya attended the victory party last night, and still on bed right now.

"Good morning." Bryan, our trainer, is full of energy early in the morning. We greeted back and did some catch up. It has almost been a month since we last went here.

"I thought you already cancelled your membership. Were you that busy in school to skip workout for a month?" Here comes his nagging.

I am not trying to be sneaky, but I just noticed that most of the people here right now are male. Sceeya surely is enjoying the view; she does't have to tell me because I can tell from how her eyes sparkle.

We started with a simple warm up. Sceeya was running in the threadmill while I am with Bryan in the boxing ring. There's a debut party that I need to attend next month, so I need to lose my baby fats. I developed this mentality that I have to be perfect whenever I attend a family gathering because I don't want to be a disgrace to mom and my brothers. They are all perfect in the eyes of other people.

It has barely an hour ago since we started when I saw Alfonso's name on the screen of my phone. The song playing stopped because of this call. I irritably answered it. Just when I thought he was done pestering me, he proved me wrong.

"Where are you?" His darn question all the time sounds petulant this time. I have not said a thing, but he already seems angry.

"Why?" My simple questioned echoed in the empty room. Even Bryan went out to check on Sceeya.

"It's early, but you're neither in your house nor in the condo. Where in the world are you?!" He went there? Is he a stalker now too?

"I'm in the gym, why?" My tone does not change, but his became crankier. Gosh. He always talk like he's asking for a fight. I never wished before to be a man, but this time, I want to have the balls to punch this annoying beast in his flawless face.

"I'll fetch you now. Where exactly are you?"

"I don't have time for your bulshit today, Alfonso. If you're not going to say anything that makes sense then I'm hanging up."

"Wait for me there." And he was the one that ended the call. What was that? I thought he's setting me free. I complied with he asked- to not include his brother among my flings. Actually, we had not seen each other for several days. I asked him a favor to spend time with his friends while he's in a vacation here because Alfonso's eyes are hooked on us. We are not going to contest what he wants, but we will also not break the way he wants us to.

While hydrating myself, I was thinking where he could possibly get the address of this gym, and then I remembered that Sceeya was with me. I gave him an intent look, and she just smiled as if she knew what I meant. She's my bestfriend, but she let me down when it comes to Alfonso.

In less than 30 minutes, Alfonso is already by the door occupying almost all the space. He has a big frame, but I only appreciated it at that moment. His built was far from Hedrin's. The more I think about it, the more he impresses me. He's busy with school works because he's a graduating student, he's also busy with their circle's startup business and I heard from Hedrin that he was already appointed as the Vice Chairman for their wine company. And now, I realized that he has enough time to workout to build that body.

When he walked inside, he caught attention from the trainers and the members. I gathered my things as I rolled my eyes to Sceeya who approached me with a wide smile flashed in her face.
