Chap.o32
"No one treats my girl like that, douchebag. No one treats my sister like that."
Ito ang eksaktong lumabas kay kuya Clive kanina. I don't understand myself why I felt weird the moment I heard the phrase 'my girl'. It was just like - ah basta ewan.
Napakahirap intindihin ng sarili ko honestly. Bakit ba kasi kailangan pa nyang magpakita after 3 long years? He's been in US for that span of time and I've lived peacefully without him. Ugh, I hate this!
"Hey chill. Baka mabasag mo na yang basong hawak mo." That was when Macky talked.
"Blame your friend! Bakit ba kasi kailangan pa nyang bumalik?"
"Why Cyrene? Do you still have feelings for him?" Macky dared ask.
"Macky!!" Sigaw ko na. "Ano iyon incest? My god! Hindi ako papatol sa kapatid ko."
"Noon lang." I heard him whisper na binalewala ko na lang.
Yeah, noon lang. Noon ko lang sya minahal dahil hindi ko alam na magkapatid kami.
Dahil sa grabeng frustration, inom na lang ako ng inom pagkatapos. Hindi naman ako sinasaway ni Macky which is good. Gusto ko lang malasing kasi hanggang ngayon, hindi pa din ako makapaniwala na nandito na sya.
"Cyrene, wait here. May aasikasuhin lang ako." Paalam ni Macky and all I could do was to nod.
Alam kong kay Hermione na naman pupunta ang isang yun. Hindi nito kayang wag iwasan si Hermione and I wouldn't blame him. Natamaan si Macky eh. Tinamaan ng napakagagong pag-ibig.
I continued drinking kahit na wala pa si Macky. Ilang glass pa ang nainom ko hanggang sa may bigla na lang may umagawsa iinumin ko na sana.
"Fuck you, Mendez!" I yelled at Macky.
Napatayo na lang ako dahil sa gulat and I silently uttered my thank you to the gods when the tequila didnt spill on my precious dress.
"Pasalamat ka Macky at--."
"I'm not Macky!" The voice hissed.
That was when I turned my gaze at him - at his face specifically. I don't know if I'm already drunk cause my sight is somewhat blurred. I couldn't see the guy's face but one thing is for sure: I know this guy. His musk is somewhat familiar.
"Who are you?" I dared ask that he didn't answer. Kaya naman linapitan ko na ito at saka masusing tinignan.
"You're really familiar? Have we met before, handsome?" I asked as I started inhaling his scent.
Hindi ko na din naiwasang huwag itong hawakan - from his broad shoulders down to his chest. May plano pa sana akong ibaba pa ang mga kamay ko pero pinigilan na nya ako.
I smelled him again. I love his musk - so damn masculine. Bagay na bagay ito sa kanya given that this guy in front of me is a giant and got a nice physique.
And while getting addicted to his musk, an idea flashed in my mind. Prepare for this, handsome.
I then divert my gaze at the guy even though I couldn't see him clearly. I flashed him my smile after - that seductive smile I often used to swept off men out there.
"I'm bored, handsome. You know a good place out there?" I used my bedroom voice.
Tignan ko lang kung hindi ito maakit. I'm quite good in flirting eh. Ito ang ginagawa ko lalo na pag sobrang lasing ako. Pero kahit ginagawa ko ito, I know my limit. Hinding-hindi ako sumasama sa mga lalake or I never slept with them. Trip ko lang talagang mangloko at magpaasa. It gives me joy kasi.
"What now, handsome? You don't like my idea eh?" This time, I whispered, at sa mismong tapat pa ng tenga nito ako bumulong.
Napansin ko ding bumilis na ang paghinga nitong guy. I even heard his cuss which made me smile. I have the effect on him, huh?
Lumayo na ako dito pagkatapos at saka ngumiti ulit. Hindi ko talaga makita ng maayos ang mukha nito. Must be the alcohol.
"Seems like you aren't interested. It's fine by the way. Geh handsome, I need to go." Paalam ko na bago pa tuluyang maakit ang isang ito. Mahirap na at baka pilitin ako nito.
Hindi na nagsalita si guy na ipinagkibit-balikat ko na lang. Kinuha ko na ang pouch ko at saka naglagay ng bills sa counter.
Uuwi na ako dahil hindi na maganda ang pakiramdam ko. I feel like throwing up in any minute kaya mas mabuting umuwi na lang. I've drink too much tonight.
Hindi na ako nagpaalam pa sa apat plus kuya Clive dahil hindi ko na kaya. I'll just send them my message na nakauwi na ako pagdating ko sa pad ko.
Narating ko naman nang maayos ang car park kahit palihis na ang mga lakad ko. I hopped inside my Moterama and started the engine after. Medyo blurred pa ang paningin ko pero alam kong makakapag-drive ako ng maayos at makakarating ako ng buo sa pad ko. Tutal ay konti na lang ang mga sasakyan ngayon. Hindi naman siguro ako mapapahamak.
I was about to drive when someone knocked on my window. I inhaled his musk and I know that its the guy inside a while ago.
"Change of mind, handsome?"
