One Night Stand (On-Going)

Chapter 23

Okay, so, maybe I spoke too soon.

When I walked back to the kitchen, the three of them are having tea already so I made myself a coffee and sit back down beside my mom, infront of Tita Erich. I sipped my coffee first before looking up at everybody.

The mood went from happy to downfall in a matter of seconds. "So, What's the catch? Anong meron tonight na everyone is here?" I asked first.

Mom turned to me, a wide smile spreading on her face, trying to lighten up the mood but what I didn't expect is what she will say.

"Anak, we're gonna plan the wedding tonight and tomorrow."

What!?

I tried to calm myself down from having an outburst, so I took deep breaths, and looked at her, "What? Isn't it too soon, ma?"

"No, it's not too soon. Eventually, you'll learn to love each other again din naman, so what's the problem, right? Kahit naman business arrangements lang ito, hindi siya gaano kasama at all since kilala mo na naman si Yael and there's a possibility na you two will fall inlove again. Edi hindi sayang ang pagpapakasal, it's like a real wedding na din." Sabi ni tita Erich.

"I'm sorry, but asking me to marry someone I don't want to is too much already, pleease don't ask me to 'fall inlove again' when I already have a boyfriend. I'm gonna get married to him just because it will help our business but I am not putting feelings here because again, I have a boyfriend." I announced in a settled way, making the two mothers shut their mouth.

"I'm not asking you to love me again, Snow. I'm just asking you to give me a second chance."

Biglang nagsalita si Yael kaya I shoot him a glare as if shooting daggers to him, and my fist tightened, "Second chance? sorry but I already gave you yours, remember? When you left for the second time? And you know well that I have a boyfriend, Mr. Perez. Business is business, let's not get personal here." Gusto kong idagdag na, 'Palibhasa kasi ginusto mo rin ito. Kasi kung hindi, tumakbo ka na tulad ng ginagawa mo noon pa lang.' Pero wag na, andito pa si tita Erich. Baka madamay pa siya, mabait pa naman siya.

"Alright, that's enough." Pagsuway ni Mommy sa aming dalawa, "No feelings attached kung iyon ang gusto. But we're still planning the wedding for tonight and tomorrow."

"May pasok ako bukas." Sabi ko.

"After school, I could fetch you." Yael offered.

I faced my palm to him, "No need. Hinahatid ako palagi nila Shai. And besides, may group project kami bukas kaya I can't."

Mom shoot a glare at me, "Group project? At kailan ka pa sumasali sa group project?"

"Dati pa." I lied smoothly, "People change, Ma. I change." Sabi ko.

Ang gandang timing sana mag walk out, kaya lang nag salita si Tita Erich, "It's okay, bayaan niyo na. Snow, go home after school na lang, ha? We can talk about it here."

I shrugged, "Whatever is fine. But no one is fetching me." I said in finality.

We all agreed with that plan, at inubos ko na yung coffee ko para makaakyat na din ako.

After I finished the coffee, I stood up and announced, "I'm going to bed."

Nilagay ko yung mug ko sa lababo at umakyat na before anyone can stop me.

I entered my room without a word and laid down on my bed, getting my phone out to text Caleb.

'Hey, You home already?'
