Worth the Trouble

chapter 11

After the dinner last night, Clark dropped me on my apartment. Pagkagising ko kinaumagahan ay nasa labas na ang aking kotse. Hindi ko alam anong oras niyang hinatid kagabi, nakatulog na siguro ako.

The pretend thingy went smoothly last night. I was glad I did my part well.

"Good morning, babes." Nakaupo si Cassy sa usual seat niya at pumapapak ng nutella. "Hinatid kanina ni Clark ang kotse mo."

"Kanina? What time?"

Binuksan ko ang ref at kumuha ng gatas. I poured a glassful.

"Hmm. two?"

Mariin ko siyang tiningnan pagkatapos umupo sa harap niya at uminom. "Two?"

She nodded.

"Anong oras ka nga pala nakauwi? Wala ka pa dito pag gating ko kagabi."

Cassandra's eyes looked tired. May natitira pang make-up sa mukha niya. I Also noticed a couple of aspirins on the table. I bet she went out partying last night without telling me... which she would never do unless she's upset or too happy.

She took a spoonful of nutella and stuffed her mouth just so she could avoid answering for awhile. I raised my Clark and literally waited until she's done chewing.

"One am?" she nervously smiled.

"And where did you go?"

"Party." she scratched her nape. "Adam threw a big party last night. I was about to ask you but then you texted me that you're with Clark. How did the "dinner with the parents" go?"

"hmm. Okay lang. Clark's parents were cool and nice." I said flatly.

"Like Clark?" she asked sheepishly.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Do you like him?"

She smiled widely. Cassy always like pretty boys. Pretty bad boys, to be exact. I can still remember clearly how she hooked up with that bad ass campus hottie last year. I had a hard time stopping her. That boy might have cause her STD for sleeping around with almost half of the girl population at school. She never listened, tho.

"Yes, I like him." She flipped her hair behind her shoulders and grinned. "To be your boyfriend."

"Oh, shut up." I rolled my eyes.

"Seryoso ako. That guy is super hot, Blare. How can you let that kind of opportunity slip away?" Tinuro-turo niya ako gamit ang kutsara niya. "If you don't want a serious relationship, then just casual hooking up? Sleep with him. Be his fubu. Babe, when was the last time you got laid? Months ago? I know the guy is so much willing--"

"Cassy! Gosh, watch your mouth! I won't do that! I am a changed person, okay?"

She scowled and muttered something under her breath. My eyes twitched in irritation for whatever she must have said. I finished the milk I was drinking and stood up, leaving the dirty glass on the table.

Nakalabas na ako ng kusina ng saktong may nabunggo ako. I squealed upon seeing a gorgeous guy on his boxers, topless. His abs were showing and also his V-line. Shit!

The guy rubbed his eyes and did not even bother covering his oh-so-perfect-almost-naked body. I can even see his.. his massive morning wood striving to get out of its domicile.

"CASSANDRA CHANDRIA ALMIRANTE!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, trying so hard to take my eyes out of the glory infront of me.

Cassy stumbled his way out of the kitchen and uttered a soft "oh" before putting her hands on top of the guy's boxer. I saw how her fingers shove the hard morning wood to lie back down. She lifted her other hand and pulled the guy's nape to press her lips against his. I was really bothered with her hand still on top of the boxer.
