Special project

Chapta 1: Meet-up

They call me names. They call me FLIRT! SLOT! WHORE! BITCH! MOTHERFUCKER! ASSHOLE! CHEAP! GOLD DIGGER! But who cares? Ikakalungkot ko ba yun? Well, that made me famous. Intitled. Fuck them! Wala akong pakialam.

Anyways, my name is Shanaiah Gomez. We're rich, kaya kahit anong gusto ko makukuha ko. i'm spoiled brat, you know? Only daughter lang kasi ng pamilyang Gomez.

My phone rang. I opened my  bag and fumbled for my phone. I checked who's calling and pressed the green button knowing it's lil' bro, Daniel Gomez.

"Hello, ate? " he spoke.

" Yeah."

" Where are you?"

" I'm on my way at the airport."

" Okay. i'll wait here near..." he stopped as if he was thinking. " Fine, I'll sit here near the coffee lounge at the airport... Is Manong Dodo with you?"

" Yeah. He's driving the car. Why?"

" Zilch."

"Okay. I gotta go, we're almost there." I said and ended the the phone call. My brother just arrived from Switzerland, busy with our Jewelry Business. Me? oh, nevermind. im more interested on something else.

Nakarating na ako sa airport. "Manong Dodo, dito na lang po kayo at susunduin ko lang po si Dani," I permitted and opened the car's backdoor.

Pumasok ako and looked around. Nasaan na kaya ang batang 'yon! Lintik yon sakin mamaya ni hindi man lang kinlaru kung saan siya maghihintay.

"Saan ba kasi naka- locate ang coffee lounge na yan! Tss, sobrang hassle!" inis na sabi ko sa sarili ko.

I walked and looked around to find my lil' bro until i saw him sitting and talking with a familiar guy in the said coffee lounge.

Shit! My heart palpitated so fast.Familiar siya sa akin kahit likod lang niya ang nakikita ko.

Naglakad ako papunta sa kanila. "Daniel," i interrupted.

" Oh Ate, you're finally here."

" No, I'm over there," as I pointed the other corner.

"C' mon, stop that sarcasm," he stood up and pulled the chair beside him. "Sit."

I sat without hesitation. I never looked at the guy in front Dani and beside me, because according to my peripheral view, 'Beware of Enemies"

I searched for my phone inside my bag and played color switch para naman mabawasan ang awkwardness sa paligid.

"So how was the flight lil' bro?" I asked between their talks.

" It's fine, " he answered and that what makes me nod.

" Ahmm... hindi mo ba tatanungin kung sino ang nandito kasama ko?" he added.

I locked my gaze to Dani and raised my left brow. "Whaaaat?!" he shrugged.

" I don't talk to strangers," I retorted.

"Really?" a familiar voice intervened. My heart palpitated so fast. Dug-dug-dug-dug-dug!

I have known this guy so much. The only person who can let my heart beats as fast as a running cheetah. Heck! I don't like throwbacks. I shouldn't go beyond the limits. I should stop this! Hangga't kaya ko pa!

Nilingunan ko siya, " Excuse me?" I said sarcastically. 

"Bakit?" he crossed his legs. Now, Dani is out of the topic.

" Have we met?" tiningnan ko siya.

" Yeah, three years go."

" Oh! That was a long time ago. Sorry, I forgot. My past life was absurd. Sounds so immature. So you're part of it?"

"Absolutely!" he grinned. Fuck!

"Okay, so?" I raised an eyebrow. Galit ako sa kanyaaaa! Sobra!

"Ate---," Daniel interrupted.

" How are you Shan?" he spoke.

" Don't act as if you care! Asshole!" I raised my voice. Hindi ko na talaga kayang sikmurain ang pagmumukha ng lalaking 'to.

He's Martin Salaz. He's my stupid, fool ,damn, abnormal, ex- boyfriend who stole my virginity! He used me. Hinding-hindi ko siya mapapatawad.

"Ate Shany," Daniel looked ate me full of frustration.

"What?" dinilatan ko siya ng mata. "Daniel, can we just go home and talk...at the car?!" galit mode.

"Wait. Shan---," Martin intervened again.

"You. Shut. Up!" I pointed my  finger on him. " Ang kapal ng mukha mong humarap pa sakin matapos ng karumaldumal mong ginawa! And you!" I raised my left eyebrow at my lil' bro., " come and let's talk...at the car!" pinandilatan ko siya ng mata.

Wala na akong pakialam sa mga taong tumitingin sa amin. Hinablot ko ang bag ko't naglakad papuntang parking area.

"Ate... Wait... Let me explain..." -Daniel.

Dali-dali na akong naglakad at pumasok  na kaagad sa kotse. Hindi ko siya pinansin. He sat infront while I'm at the back

"Look, Ate stop being paranoid," he frowned.

" Paaranoid? Hell Dani! You knew that guy! He's my ex! Ba't kapa nakikipagkita sa taong yun?!"

"Yeah, I knew it ate. But seriously? I didn't expect this is happening," he blunted.

" You should really not."

"Ate you've just ruined everything!" Daniel raised his voice at me.

" Don't dare raise your voice at me lil' bro. You'll see!" I threatened.

"And goodluck how you'll explain everything to Dad...sissyy!"

What?! Explain? Why the hell should i need to explain, huh?! Ano bang nangyayari!!! Shitness overload.

"I don't need to explain," I replied shortly.

"You should. Don't you know? You've just ruined our partnership with the Salaz. Ate, that would probably be my greatest opportunity. But damn! What have you done? I knew ex mo si Martin but come to think of it. Ano bang paki ko ? Wag niyo idamay business ko ate and always remember BUSINESS IS BUSINESS!" he frowned.

Tama nga naman si Dani. Ano naman ang kinalaman ni Dani kung ex ko si Martin? Ahh basta wala na kami dapat koneksyon sa isa't isa. I rolled my eyes over and over again! Nagnenegosyo na pala si Martin ngayon? Imposibli naman! Ang gagong yun magbi-business? Fuck.
