He Dared To Love

New York, USA

TAM's POV

(Four years ago...)

"Tris Aiden Mendoza would you mind to open this door?!"

Oh damn... bad morning world.

My eyes wanted to close again but then I managed to open them and stood up from my king sized bed.

Where on earth did mom find a reason to scold me? Again.

I sighed as I scratch my nape.

What the hell?! I wanna go back to bed. Alam kong walis ang ihahabol sa 'kin ni mom kapag ginawa ko 'yon kaya binuksan ko na ang pinto.

"Morning mom." I weakly said.

My eyesight is blurry but then I can sense mom's angry face.

"Anong 'morning'?! Ano na naman ang ginawa mo anak?!"

Ang ganda ng bagong version ng 'good morning too'.

I yawned and looked at my mom. I smiled. Good thing she's very pretty. Or else I'll be laughing my ass out because of her angry look.

"As far as I can remember, I just slept in my lovely room, inside our mansion."

Well, that's all I know I did. Aside from drinking Jack Daniels in the club last night 'til dawn and banging girls.

And I won't spill it. Mom will tie my balls if I'll do.

"Animal ka talaga!"

"Aww!"

My whole system was awaken by mom's soft broom, kissing my butt.

"Mom what did I do?!" I asked while running away.

"What did you do?! What did you do, you jerk!" She furiously said and threw the broom on me.

I immediately bent down and crawled. Damn it!

"Mom, enough with it."

I looked up and saw ZEM holding mom's both arms.

I sighed in relief. "You're my savior dude."

"Savior your ass." He sarcastically said.

"Hoy lalake! Ano na namang katangahan 'yon?!" Mom again shouted and threw her slipper on me.

Good thing she missed.

"Mom please. I don't know what you're saying!" I said as a matter of fact.

"May babae! And she said she's carrying your baby." She angrily said and tears fell.

ZEM hugged him and caressed her back.

I looked away and shook my head. Nothing's new. This isn't the first time someone told me that I made her pregnant, barged our house, and informed my whole family that I banged her and now she's pregnant. I just don't know why mom's still not habituated.

Great. Just great.

"Anak naman! I'm aware na malandi ka pero please! Bigyan mo naman kami ng kahihiyan." Mom said while crying. "You're old enough to be responsible just like your siblings."

I sat on the bed and held my forehead.

"TAM..." Dad seriously said who just popped on the door way. "I wanna talk to you, young man."

Oh fuck. I'm dead.

He walked out of my room and I followed him of course even if it scares me to death.

Who knew what my father is capable of?

I groaned when I saw Casey, together with an old man, sitting on a bench in our living room.

Casey is the girl with blonde hair, petite body, and priceless beauty. I had a mind blowing sex with her one night and because of that, she became obsessed. She even threatens the girls I'm dating.

I remained calm and cool as I follow dad on a corner.

He stopped and sighed. "How many girls have been here, TAM, with the words 'I'm pregnant'?" And turned at my direction.

I looked away. "This is the fourth dad."

"And how many times did a girl tell you that she's pregnant?"

"Five." I whispered.

"Overall, you were accused of getting women pregnant for how many times?"

I looked down. "Nine."

"And what do I always tell you, player?"

"Always be protected."

"Might wanna explain the phrase?" He coldly asked.

I exhaled and looked up. "Dad, I'm always protected. You already said that I'm only accused. Among those girls, noone proved that they really are pregnant. That they just want fame dad."

"You are aware that my name is one of the most popular names in business world. Now, people entitled you 'The Player' because of putting our name in shame by banging pathetic girls."

"But dad it was all lies."

"Would you prove it again?"

I briskly nodded. "I will. I know I didn't make her pregnant. Having such responsibilities never crossed my mind."

He nodded. "That's all I wanna hear. It'll take months to prove if the child she's carrying is yours s-"

"She's really pregnant?"

He nodded.

That was strange. All of my girls before were just pretending to be pregnant, because of money and fame.

"May I continue?" He asked.

"Oh I'm sorry. You may dad."

"So, your brother told me how obsessed this woman is. And for that, maybe you should find some place to hide in and cool your stupid head."

My jaw hung. Hide? Really?!

"What do you mean dad?"

"I'll fix your problem. Give your mom a break from your idiocies."

I wanna roll my eyes but I didn't. I wouldn't love to meet dad's slap.

"You'll hide. Take it as your vacation..."

I grinned upon hearing the word 'vacation'.

"But!" Dad again said, wiping my grin. "Once you get in any troubles, fix it your own."

Hmm... it's not that bad at all. I can handle it.

"So uhm... should I pack my things now, or what?" I asked with a half smile.

"No. You first kneel down infront of your mother and beg for her forgiveness. Second, we both go talk to that old man and the girl. Third, decide where on hell you would go." He calmly said while sliding his both hands in his pocket.

I looked up and think of the places I might want to go. And a brilliant idea came in my precious mind.

Since I'll be needing someone who's ready to help me or get me out of trouble, willing to give perks... then I already have someone in my mind.

I smiled at dad. "I already decided where to go dad."

"Where? Make sure the people in that place doesn't kill a casanova."

He's a great father. Wasn't he?

"Oh yeah. I'll be staying with my other brother Yu-Rhi in the Philippines."
