Hopeless Playboy

Chapter 5

Charlotte

Hindi ako makatulog! Damn! I can't imagine! Ako nag-blush? Really? I'm not blushing! I just drunk. Yes, I'm just drunk. My face turn to red because I'm drunk. It's the effect of alcohol. Yes it is just effect.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakatulog. Siguro sa sobrang pakikipagtalo ko na lang sa sarili buong magdamag hindi ko na namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako.

"Your a wake." Naabutan ko si mommy sa long table at kumakain na.

I walked like a zombie towards to moms direction. Kulang ako sa tulog kakaisip kagabi. I'd realize na para akong tanga sa kakaisip na yun. Ako lang ata ang nag-iisip ng ganoon. Humalik ako sa pisngi ni mom at umupo sa tabi niya at sinaluhan ko siyang kumain.

"I heard what happen to you in school. Your not into trouble. What happen? Care to share?" I heave a sigh.

The news really have a wings. I hate explaining a piece of a shit like this. It's disgusting. I rolled my eyes. She's my mother, she have a right to know. I look at her with no interest about what I'm going to say.

"Okay. That girl is just envy with me. Well your daughter is close to perfect. Who wouldn't envied with me?" I said confideny and continue my tale, "One day that girl waited me at the corridor of our building with two ugly bitches beside her. She confront me. She annoyed then we fight! End of story." Right after I ended my story I didn't bother to give a look to mom, she will surely asked me more about this shit! And I don't want this conversation to prolong.

I heard her took a deep breath.
It's mean she gave up and I won a again. Silence filled the whole room. Only the sound produced by the porks and spoons I heard. I remained silent. It's my nature so it's easy for me to be like this. To be silent. I focused myself to the food.

Focused yourself on food? Then why on this earth right now your thinking again and again Sky? Why the hell can't you erased on your mind the image of Sky's wet lips? Of his damn browm expressive eyes? Of his damn scent that until now you can't get of your nose?

"Hey! Char!" I blinked for a second when mom put her hand in front of my face and waved it for getting my attention.

"Mom!" Atlast I said.

"You okay?" She asked with a frown. I nodded for answer. "Have you pack already your things? Your going this whole week to your Lola right?" Mom asked. "Are you sure you wouldn't attend on your intramurals? This is your last intramurals as a junior high school of BAY. Your gotta missed it."

"I'm tired to school mom. I want to take this opportunity to rest and I have no business there. It wil be boring for me." I gave mom a reassuring smiled to convince her.

"Well if that's what you want I won't stop you." I hugged mom after she said that.

Bago magtanghalian ay pinahatid na ako ni mommy kila Lola sa Taal Bocaue Bulacan. Two and a half hours din ang naging byahe namin from Manila to here. Nagulat si Lola ng makita ako sa veranda ng mansion niya. Nilanghap ko ang sariwang hangin dito sa probinsya. This is what I like here. The fresh air. The green sorrounding.

"Apo..." sinalubong ako ng yakap ni Lola.

I hug her back,"I miss you Lola." Masayang aniko.

"I miss you too apo." Lola said between our hugs.

"Nineng pakikuha nga yung maleta ng siñorita Charlotte mo. Madali ka." Mabilis naman na tumalima si Nineng sa utos ni Lola kasama ang dalawa pang kasambahay.

Napako ang atensyon ko kay Nineng. She is beautiful. If I'm not mistaken, we are on the same age. And I heard she is also smart.

"Apo what do you want? Juice?" Napabaling ako sa nagsalitang si Lola.
