WITCH: IN LOVE

Chapter 35: Two birds

I'm on my way to The Paradise kung saan naghihintay si Kyla sa akin. Unfortunately, nung time na nagtext siya sa akin ay kasama ko naman itong antipatikong si Damon.

"I'm surprised you asked me out on a date." sabi ni Damon na may nakakaasar na ngiti. Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain ngayon sa isang fine dining restaurant na ako pa ang pumili. We'll never know where he'd take me kapag hinayaan ko siyang magpasya.

"I'm just being careful. Mukhang nagdududa na naman si grandma sa atin." diretsong sabi ko agad. Mahirap na at baka isipin ng hambog na to na type ko siya. Excuse moi!

"Right." naka poker face naman na sagot niya.

Ilang sandali ay nag vibrate ang phone ko na nasa ibabaw lamang ng mesa. Kukunin ko na sana ito nang mabilis itong hablutin ng taong kaharap ko. Seriously? Sino ba ang may-ari, siya o ako?

"Amin na nga yan." sabi ko habang pilit na inaabot ang phone ko na inilalayo niya sa akin. This guy is really annoying me!

"Oh? Some Kyla girl texted you to come at The Paradise."

"Okay, got it. Will you please hand over the phone now?"

"Are you sure this Kyla is a woman? Why will he or she text you to come over?"

"Are you kidding me right now? She's a she. Bakit? Lalake lang ba ang mag-aaya ng babaeng mag-bar? And besides, what's your point asking me that ridiculous question anyway?"

"Uhm.. you know I wouln't want my name dragged into one of your reckless actions, right?"

"Psh. Whatever." Kung hindi lang kami nasa isang fake relationship ay iisipin ko talagang nagseselos itong si Damon. Well, I guess I'm still lucky. Kung nagkataong magboyfriend kami ay baka nakabuntot ito palagi sa akin. Totally annoying!

So yun nga, after we finished eating ay kaagad binayaran ni Damon ang bill at sabay kaming lumabas ng restaurant. After a 10 minute drive ay narating namin ang bar.

I immediately looked for Kyla as soon as we entered the place. Hindi rin naman ako nabigo dahil nahanap ko agad siya. She's sitting at the counter at medyo lasing na ata based on the empty glasses at her front.

"Hey bitch! You look totally wasted." sabi ko sa babaeng nakayuko ngayon. Oh hell! She looked like a racoon! Talk about those smudged mascara and eyeliner. Hindi ba niya afford ang mga waterproof products?

Pagkatapos ng sinabi ko ay napa-angat naman ang kanyang ulo.

"I'm not. For your information I have a high alcohol tolerance- Oh? Who's that hot guy you have?" Ibang klase nga naman talaga itong si Kyla. Well, we have the same attitude kapag mga gwapo ang pinag-uusapan pwera na lang kapag itong si Damon ang tinutukoy. He's a totally badass guy. He has a weird tattoo na sa pagkakaalam ko ay simbolo ng pamilya nila. Every member of their family has it kaya masyado silang mapili sa mga magiging parte ng pamilya. Ito rin ang rason kung bakit napapanatili nilang malakas ang kanilang angkan. They're the kind of witches you wouln't want to mess with.

"Damon Westings, milady. Pleasure to meet you." sabat naman agad ng lalaking kasama ko. Psh.

"Sorry if I brought him here. We were in the middle of a date when you texted me."

"Nah, it's no problem and besides I don't own this place.. Tss mabuti ka pa, may boyfriend na gwapo at mayaman. Eh sa ganda kong to, wala pa rin."

"Eh kung hindi ka ba naman nagpapakatanga sa Vincent na yan eh. Look around you, there are men who have the hots for you. Hindi mo lang naman kasi pinapansin."
