22 : Lovebites

Lovebites

Totoo lahat ng sinabi ni Charm. I know who to choose. Kilalang kilala ng puso ko kung sino ang pipiliin nito. I just don't want to believe that everything is true. Hindi ko alam kung masyado na ba akong nagmamagaling, o sadyang nawawalan na ako ng tiwala sa pag-ibig but either of the two, I don't want to let go of the man my heart beats for.

" Ma, Pa, I'm with Cassidy again. She's the woman I brought here the last time I came. She has really been giving me a hard time but I know she loves me. It's just a matter of time before she realizes that she loves me back. Ma, Pa, I'm in love." I heard Vincent say to his parents but the last part of it caught me of guard.

" Hi po, ma'am, sir" Nahihiya ko pang sabi. Hindi ko din naman alam kung paano kausapin ang kanyang mga magulang.

I heard Vincent chuckle.

" The next time we come here. I'll be telling you about my marriage with her. I'm just waiting for her signal before I drag her to church" Sagot naman ulit ni Vincent.

Hindi na ako nakipag-away pa sa kanya tungkol roon. Paggalang narin siguro sa magulang niya.

We went back to the office after some time. Hindi ko na din kase namamalayang pagabi na pala ng pagabi. It was already five in the evening when I received a text message from Andrew.

" Hon, please come. My head fucking hurts like hell. I'm not feeling good" I read Andrew's text.

He's having it again. Sa mga pagkakataong ganon. Alam kong hindi nagsisinungaling si Andrew. He sometimes have that kind of attitude.

Dali dali ko ng inayos yung gamit ko sa aking mesa. Magpapaalam na sana ako kay Vincent ng unahan niya ako ng tanong.

" It's still early Cassidy. Why are you leaving?" Tanong niya.

" Vincent, kailangan kong umalis ng maaga. I need to see someone" I said. Napansin ko ang pagkuyom ng mga kamao niya.

" Ayoko" Saad niya lamang. He knows. I thought to myself. He knows I'm going to see him.

" Sorry, I need to go" I said with finality. Akmang aalis na sana ako ng magsalita siya.

" It's either you leave and be with him. Or stay and choose me, Cassidy. I'm not dumb, Love. You have to choose between me and him. It's not going to be easy if you have us both." I slowly placed back my corporate jacket down. I faced him in an instant.

Napatitig agad ako sa mga mata niya. His eyes were telling something I understand.

" Vincent-" I started

" Choose, Cassidy" He said while drawing near me.

" I've given you enough time to make up your mind. I endured all the time you make me feel in the same position as him. I wanted to be higher than that Cassidy. I want to be more than him. Come on Love, choose me. Alam kong ako ang mahal mo. Alam kong ako ang tinibok ng puso mo dahil ikaw lang ang tinitibok nito" Ang seryoso ng boses niya.

I closed my eyes.

" If you go, then that means the game isn't over yet but if you choose to stay then you've ended the game. You have chosen me and that means I have to do my part as well" He muttered.

" Sit down and don't leave, Cassidy" He said with arms crossed.

" Why are you so sure of yourself, Vincent. What made you think that I would choose you over him" I spoke with confidence.

" Because your eyes says it all, Love." I stood up and looked at him before picking up my corporate jacket

I was about to leave when he advanced near me grabbing me by the hand letting me drop my jacket.
