Chap.o33
I woke up with a throbbing headache the next day. Ugh, this is what I hate - hangover. Mula noong nag-start akong uminom, ito na lang ang palagi kong problema. I really hate this fucking hangover!
Tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakahiga at tuluyang lumabas sa kwarto ko. I'll make a way para tuluyang mawala itong sakit ng ulo ko. My meds are on the kitchen - on the top my fridge specifically. Dun ko yun inilagay dahil mas convinient. Besides, nasa kitchen na din ang tubig. At kung sakaling iinom ako ng meds, mas madali na lang kung nasa kusina na ang lahat.
Amoy ng mga masasarap na mga pagkain ang bumungad sa akin pagkapasok ko ng kitchen. Agad namang hinanap ng mga mata ko kung sino ang syang nagluto ng mga ito at nakita ko naman ang salarin sa tapat ng stove ko. His back is facing me.
"Ehem..." I cleared my troath and he faced me instantly.
I'm right that he is no other than kuya Clive.
"What are you doing--."
I never got the chance to finish my sentence 'cause he cut me off. The nerve!
"Just be happy, alright?"
Lumapit na ito sa akin at naramdaman ko na lang na igina-guide ako nito papaupo sa stool. His hands even landed on my small waist and in instance, I was sitting on that stool already. Did he just carry me?
"Look--."
I never finished what I was going to say again 'cause this guy put a loaf of bread in my mouth.
"Just eat. Look at you, you're so skinny. I doubt if food exists for you."
"Excuse me. I'm not skinny, I'm sexy." I defended myself as I removed the bread in my mouth.
I don't know what's with this guy. He's pissing me off honestly. Pagtawanan ba naman ako? Kasalanan ko ba kung talagang sexy ako?
While the guy beside me was laughing his ass out, I began eating na. The foods in front of me looked so delectable. It was hard for me to resist them this instance. May pancake, bacon, tocino, and scrambled egg. Pero wait, kailan pa natutong magluto ang lalakeng ito?
"You're funny, honey."
Muntik na akong mabulunan nang biglang magsalita ito. Nabigla ako hindi dahil sa biglang pagsasalita nito kundi nabigla ako dahil sa pagtawag nito ng honey sa akin. That was his endearment to me back then for crying out loud! How dare him say that word? Was he trying to bring up the past?
"Hey, bakit ka tumigil sa pagkain? Did my cooking suck?"
"Just get lost." I said sternly. Sinamaan ko na din ito ng tingin.
"Wait, I don't get you. Why --."
"It's my place, remember?" This time, I was the one who cut him off. "This pad was given by tatay just for me. You're not dumb naman diba? At pag sinabi kong binigay ni tatay ito sa akin, it means na sa akin na talaga ang pad ito." I bitched out.
I was referring to senyor Zach. I don't call him daddy. Just this guy in front of me called tatay daddy.
"You're unbelievable!" Hindi makapaniwalang saad na nito pagkatapos. "Am I really not welcome here?"
"Masasaktan ka lang pag sinabi kong hindi."
"I won't still leave."
"But--."
"I won't leave even if you'll bitch me out. Look Cyrene, I remembered what you did last night. You were drunk to the limit that you were even flirted out."
"Excuse me. I did not flirt, alright? Baka iba ang nakita mo kagabi at hindi ako yun." I defended myself.
Hindi ko matandaang nakipag-flirt ako kagabi. Yeah, I did kiss Macky and I dirty danced with a guy pero...
"You don't remember, do you?" Wika na nito. "You were with a guy that night. You even told him to go somewhere and god Cyrene! That was hillarious! Given na babae pa mismo ang nagyaya sa isang guy para lang sa isang one night stand."
His jaw clenched and it only means he was mad. Pero hindi ko talaga maalala ang nangyari kagabi. Must be the alcohol.
"Playing dumb, are we?" Bwelta na naman ng lalakeng ito. "My decision is final. I won't leave you with that kind of attitude. What if something bad will happen, huh? Dad will hate me if that happens. He loves you, okay? He loves you just the way I love you."
"I so hate you!!" Sigaw ko na lang saka ako nag-walk out.
I do super-duper hate him!
"I don't want to be with you!! Sana wala ka na paglabas ko!" I shouted as I was walking to my room.
"Never gonna happen, honey. My wardrobe's already fixed in the guest room. And one more thing, dad approved me living here. Isn't it great?" Sagot naman nito na pasigaw.
"Screw you, asshole." Was all I could yell as I shut my bedroom door.
