Seducing My Cousin's Boyfriend

Chapter Fifty-three

"Are you sure you're okay now?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Jiedez.

I sighed. Naka-uwi na kami at lahat, yan pa rin ang tanong niya sakin.

"Ate, I'm fine. Okay na ako. Nailabas ko na yung galit ko." Sabi ko at nahiga sa kama ko.

"Did you and your boyfriend fought?" She asked.

I sighed again. "Yes."

Natahimik kami sa kwarto ko. She laid down beside me.

"Gaano na kayo katagal nung Jake Dawson?" She suddenly asked.

I closed my eyes. "Almost three months." I said.

Matagal-tagal na din pala. Ang bilis lumipas ng panahon. So, almost three months ko na palang niloloko si Megan? I bit my lower lip. It hurts whenever I think I'm fooling Megan.

"Do you love him?" She asked again.

I sighed. "Yes...so much." I answered.

"Don't love him that much, sis." Sabi ni Jiedez, naramdaman kong umalis siya sa kama.

I opened my eyes. Palabas na yata siya ng kwarto.

"Why?" Tanong ko.

She looked at me.

"Guys like him are possessive and unfair. He will cage you." Sabi niya.

Kumirot ang puso ko. Why is she right?

"How did you know?" I asked.

"I saw how he looked at you. His eyes says, she's mine. She's my property. I see possessiveness. I don't know, but I feel like...you don't deserve him." Sabi niya at tuluyan ng lumabas ng kwarto ko.

She's right. She's so right. I didn't know my sister has that kind of instinct. I also see possessiveness on Jake's eyes.

You don't deserve him.

Her words echoed in my head. Who deserves me then?

The next day, I looked at my phone on my side table and I almost dropped my eyeballs when I saw three hundred and eight missed calls! What the effing balls?! Tinignan ko kung kanino galing, some are from Kathlyn but most of it are from Jake. Apat nga lang yung kay Kath eh! Grabe kung tumawag si Jake! And again, I almost dropped my eyeballs when I saw six hundred messages. Aba! Buti hindi sumabog ang cellphone ko! Damn! Pwede palang mangyari yung ganito na aabot sa three hundred and missed calls tapos six hundred messages! Nakaka-loka! Edi siya na! Siya na ang unli! Hiyang-hiya naman yung load ko sakaniya!

I activated airplane mode nung tumawag nanaman si Jake. Wow nonstop! Tinignan ko yung call logs ko. He was calling me since yesterday. Tapos wala pa siyang tulog dahil minu-minuto talaga siyang natawag! Gosh! Buti nalang naka-silent phone ko. Nag tyaga akong basahin yung texts niya. Inuna ko yung mga nauna niyang texts. Hinahanap niya ako. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang mabasa ang isang text niya.

From: Delicious Jake
Where are you? Nandito ako sa tagaytay. Nasaan ka? Please babe, answer my calls.

He went to tagaytay just to find me! Just to talk to me! Holy eff! Binasa ko pa yung ibang texts niya. Napapa-ngiti ako minsan dahil talagang gustong-gusto niya akong mahanap at maka-usap. Meron pa nga siyang text na in-explain niya yung totoo. May gagawin lang daw talaga silang project. Tapos yung mga kaibigan niya daw alam na kausap ako—yung girlfriend niya— kaya inasar nila na kunwari nag iinuman. Tapos na daw klase nila non. Maaga daw nag dismiss.
