Out for Revenge

That's not a Big Deal

"Thank God nagising kana." Colleen said while eating some bananas. 

 Yeah, thank God I'm not in the hospital. Thank God I'm just in Indigo's room.

"Where is he?" I asked Colleen.

"Where is who?" he said mimicking my voice earlier. And, that was a stupid question to be asked back.

"Stop playing dumb. It doesn't suit you. So, where is Indigo?" I blurted out with a irritate face.

"Ahm. Indigo." He while nodding. "He left already."

I got up after hearing him say those words. Hindi man lang ako hinintay magising. I know that he's the one who caught me -- I glanced at my watch to know what time is it and it says... It's already 7 PM - awhile ago after passing-out.

My stomach suddenly vibrated. I mean it growled as if something is inside my tummy that needs to be feed.

So I walked towards the kitchen room and open the fridge to look for some food. My shoulders fell after seeing what's inside the fridge. Nothing. There's nothing in there. Oh! There's one. Water -.-

I forgot to buy some groceries this week because I've been so busy. I always eat outside with my customer and some friends. And I also have a lot of things in mind that's why I've forgotten about it. Maybe I'll just eat outside and buy some groceries tomorrow. Anyway' there's a French restaurant near the condominium.

I immediately groom myself. I can see Colleen eyeing me. Maybe he's confused. Hello? It's almost eight o'clock in the evening and here I am, preparing myself because I'll eat outside.

"Where do you think you're going?" Colleen asked while holding a glass of water.

"I'll eat outside. There's no food in here." I walked towards the door after saying that. I'm really starving - I told myself.

"What makes you think I'll let you?" he said and raise his one eyebrow. "It's nearly eight and you're going to go out alone? A-Ah! That can't be." Habang umiiling-iling.

"I'm the boss so don't boss me around and I don't care. I'm still going even if you don't want to so better get out of my way." I answered implicitly.

"Then... I'm coming with you." He said with authority.

"Seriously, you don't have to. I can manage."

"Let's go." He said not minding what I've just said.

I didn't argue anymore because I might just kill this gay beside me. OhGod! I'm sorry in advance. Yea, I hear my stomach growling while where on our way.

"You must be really hungry, huh?" he said breaking the silence between us.

"You don't have any idea." I babbled.

We ate in an awkward silence after arriving in the restaurant. No one dare to utter even a single word. For what reason? Well, I'm clueless as you.

We're almost done eating when he talks.

"What are you planning about Xian's wedding?" he said those words while looking directly into my eyes.

"Oh! I already told Indigo to get the measurements of Xian's bride for me, but if you want to get her measurements... Uhhhm, its fine." I ate the last piece of meat in my plate after answering him.

"Scratch that! I saw it when Indigo approaches you about Xian's wedding and I saw something in your eyes that is unexplainable. It's not about Xian's wedding, right? You're up to something, aren't you?"  he drinks the glass of water in front of him but his eyes never leave mine.

"What the? You are hallucinating. And please, don't accuse me because I assure you, I'm blameless. And if it happens that I'm to something, it's none of your biz." You can trace that I'm a bit irritated as I utter those words.

He handed me something and stood up.

"Take that. Let's go. It's getting late already." He guided himself towards the exit.

I followed him while looking at the 'thing' he just handed me awhile ago.

"Hey!" I called him but he doesn't seem to care. Arrrgh. "What's this thing?" I asked with an irritated face.

"It's an Abirritant." He said as if stating the obvious.

"Yea'yea. What is this for?"

"It's a medicine that eases irritation. Must try it. It's REALLY effective." He walked 2x faster after saying those lines.

This guy!-I blurted out silently. Anong akala niya sakin? Arrrgh. I'm only facing his back because obviously, he walks faster than me.

He doesn't look like a gay. He looks like a real man but sometimes his actions say it though. I didn't notice that I am already under a deep thought, kaya hindi ko namalayan na nasa harap na pala kami ng condominium.

"Hey! I'm going." He said pagkatapos niya kong Ihatid sa entrance. "You look okay already. I'll just give Indigo a call to tell him your fine." Pagkatapos ay tumalikod na siya.

"Hey!" I called.

"What?" he answered not minding to face me again.

I walked near him and said "Are you really a gay?"

He stopped.

SILENCE...

"So that's what you're thinking awhile ago, huh?" he faced me and I saw a grin forming in his lips.

"Yeah. So are you really a gay?" I asked again.

"What do you think?" he said while still grinning.

"Hmm. Sometimes you are but most of the time you're not. Are you only pretending?" I answered and asked seriously.

"It's getting late. Better go." He said but I stop him.

"You didn't answer me. But forget about that, Maybe your still shy to admit that you're a gay." I babbled while grinning ear to ear.

I walked a few steps more towards him and gave him a pecked on the lips. I've done that a lot of times in Paris but only to my girl bestfriend, Valteisha. But since he is a gay, it's not a big deal.

His eyes widened upon realizing what just happen.

"What was that for?" he blurted out.

"It's a goodbye kiss and a sign of being thankful in Paris, eventhough you're getting in my nerves I'm still thankful you accompanied me. And since you're a gay, it's not a big deal, right?" I said and asked innocently.

"And I've only done that to a girl because I abhor boys, but since you're a gay, uhm. Maybe you're an exception." I saw him murmured something but doesn't reached my ears. I just pretend I haven't saw it. "Good night." I run after I said that and entered the condominium.

Why did I've done that? .....
