Secret Seduction | [R-18]

Chapter Thirty

School's finally over! I made it through 11th grade with honors, thank God! I thought shifting strands would be a pain not only in my ass, to my report card but it wasn't.

"Justin told me to give you these." sabi ni Sierra habang kinakalkal yung bag niya. I was eating in a restaurant with the girls today. It's been a while since I got to really ask them if they're alright.

"Tell him thank you." sabi ko at kinuha yung bag na binigay niya. Justin didn't take my relationship with Louie quite well. Nagui guilty ako kahit may karapatan naman ako'ng makahanap ng iba.

"Tama ba talaga yung ginawa ko?" tanong ko sakanilang lahat.

"Is this about Louie again?" tanong ni Cha. I've been asking them that question for over a month. Napangiti sila saakin,

"For the nth time, you did what was good for you." sabi ni Cha at tinignan muna si Sierra at Stephanie.

"After what he did to you, you don't deserve him." sabi ni Sierra at hinawakan yung braso ko.

"He's the father of my child." I looked down. Something tells me I should just stick with him even though I don't want to, anymore. Stephanie stared. I know she wants to say something,

"I know wala akong experience, but if you're gonna choose to be with someone you hate, you'll destroy yourself. At bilang ninang ng anak mo, I can't let that happen." she grinned. I saw both Cha and Sierra's mouth gape,

"Excuse me? Sinong ninang?" react kaagad ni Cha.

"React react ka pa dyan, ano bang ituturo mo sa anak ni Drey? Maglasing?" sagot ni Sierra at tumingin ng masama saakin.

"Wow, linis natin ah?" sagot ni Cha. Lahat sila nakatingin saakin. I asked Stephanie to be a godmother first because she was the wisest in our group. I've known her for a while and she hasn't shown any immature acts yet.

"I just asked her first, naunahan lang niya ako'ng sabihin. Ano, isa lang ba yung pwedeng ninang?" biro ko sakanila. Nagtatawanan lang kami buong oras na magkakasama kami. We lived together, Stephanie was almost at the house everyday, but I feel like we live separate lives. Hindi kami nakakapag usap ng ganito.

I just finished drying my hair. Today was Louie's graduation, he asked me to be there for him. I did my make up and wore a loose, sleeveless green dress. There was already a bump and I didn't want anyone to see it. I'm keeping this pregnancy a secret from everyone. Not from my coach, of course. I plan to tell her, I just don't have the courage yet.

Palabas na ako ng bahay nang makita ko si Troy sa labas ng apartment. Ngayon ko nalang siya ulit nakita sa bahay.

"Bakit hindi ka pumapasok?" tanong ko sakanya habang binubuksan yung gate. He smiled,

"I don't think that's a good idea."

I tilted my head sidewards but I smiled back. I knew it was because of me. I also got the feeling na lagi siyang dito sa labas naghihintay. Maybe, he doesn't want Sierra to feel awkward.

"It's a good idea. Pumasok ka na, naghihintay na si Sierra." sabi ko at tinapik yung shoulder niya. I was about to leave when I felt his hand grab my wrist.

"I'm still so--"

"Stop, Troy. I told you, all is forgiven." I smiled as he let go of my hand. I miss him, not romantically, of course. He was a great friend to me, no matter what anyone else says. I miss hanging out with him, ranting about Justin, like we used to.
