Misandry Series 1: Alexis Garcia

Chapter Seven

Kasalukuyang nasa Starbucks si Alexis kasama ang mga kaibigan niya. They are just talking about non sense things at malakas na nagtatawanan na para bang walang ibang taong nasa paligid nila.

Right now, they are laughing about the bald costumer that is smacked in his head by a waitress.

"Hahahahah!" Malakas na pagtawa ni George. "Buti nga sa kanya. Manyakis na panot na yon!"

"Pasalamat siya at ayon lang ang nangyari sa kanya! Kung ako ang dinakutan niya ng pwet baka mabayagan ko pa siya." Sabi naman ni Clarissa.

Hinihingal sa kakatawa si Alexis dahil sa mga pinagsasasabi ng mga kaibigan niya, but she felt her whole body stiffen when she saw the man who just entered the shop.

"Shit! Mga bes alis na tayo dito."

"Bakit naman. Di ko pa nga nauubos tong cake ko oh!" Pagmamaktol si George.

"Bilisan nyo na please. May bwisit na lalaki-" Naputol ang sasabihin ni Alexis dahil sa isang boses na pamilyar siya kung kanino nanggaling.

"Hey babe. Woah, di ko expected na magkikita tayo dito. Maybe we're just destined for each other." Nilingon niya ang pinanggalingan ng boses at nakita niya si Kyle, with his smug look and his very irritating smirk.

Please don't get me wrong. Hindi pangit o nakakainis ang itsura ni Kyle.
Hell, para itong model ng isang magazine. Brown eyes, brown hair, straight nose, luscious lips, slightly tanned skin and well toned body. Masasabi nyang isa ito sa pinaka gwapong lalaking nakita nya sa tanang buhay niya.

'But he's not as handsome and hot as Damon.' Her sub conscious stated.

Damn. Bakit naman hanggang ngayon yun pa rin ang laman ng isip ko? Seriously Alex? Damon, handsome and hot?! Hell no!

But her mind betrayed her and flashed her images of Damon. Ang napakagwapo nitong mukha and his toned muscle that is poking even in his suit.

"Shit!" Malakas niyang nasambit.

"Alex, alam ko namang gwapo ako, but no need for cussing. You can just kiss me and ogle my body."

"Huh?! Mas mabuti pang dukutin ko na lang ang mata ko, and duh? Ikaw gwapo? Ew no."

"Oh guys, nakakaistorbo yata kami sa inyo. Mauna na kami Alex ah! Don't forget to tell us the juicy details later!"
"Wait guys! Hintayin nyo na ako!"

"Bye Alex!" Sigaw ni Clarissa at kinawayan pa sya.

Arrgggh! Buwisit talaga ang dalawang iyon. Iniwan pa ako kung kailan kailangang kailangan ko sila, and the worst part is, kasama ko pa si Kyle.

"Alex, maybe we should talk. You know? About you and me?" Nawala na ang playfulness sa mukha at boses nito. Napalitan na ito ng seriousness at eagerness na para bang may nilalaro ito at gusto niyang manalo.

"Huh? Let me think about it?!"

Nakita ni Alex ang hopeful look sa mga mata ni Kyle. Matagal na din kasi sya nitong nililigawan, at kahit lagi nya itong ini ignore ay di ito sumusuko.

Kyle can be a perfect boyfriend. He is a sweet guy. Gentleman, caring and understanding. He is a perfect boyfriend material. Kung wala lang siyang galit sa mga lalaki, alam niyang noon pa sana ay sinagot niya na ito.

"Alex? Ano, anong sagot mo?" There is a hint of eagerness and hope in his voice. Masyado naman yata siyang magiging malupit kung di nya ito pagbibigyan at i rereject nanaman niya ito.

"How about sunduin mo ako mamayang gabi. 7:00 pm. Basta wala akong gagastusin ah! Libre mo." Pabiro niyang sabi.

"Talaga? Thank you Alex. Di mo alam kung paano mo ako napasaya!" Kyle hugged her and she hesitated in hugging him back, but after a battle with herself, she hugged him back.

"At syempre libre kita. Date kita diba?" Dagdag niya.

The warmth of his body is calming. He is a good friend of mine, at siguro hanggang doon na lang yun. Since college ay nandyan siya palagi. Supporting me and giving me encouragement para magpatuloy. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit di ko siya matutunang mahalin, dahil base sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya, di sya katulad ng aking ama.

"Kyle mauna na ako ah? 7:00 pm ha?" I awkwardly stepped out of his embrace and gave him a peck on his cheeks.

"Ahhh..  Mmmmm.. Si.. Sige." Kitang kita ko sa mga pisngi nya ang pamumula at kinamot niya pa ang batok niya dahil sa hiya.

"Oh sige Kyle mauna na ako. Bye!" I ran to the door and waved at him. Si Kyle naman na namumula pa rin ay ngumiti lang sa akin at nag flying kiss pa.

I am now sitting in front of a mirror, applying make up on my face. Di ko gusto ang heavy make up so I just make it light. My hair is now curly, with some of its strands clipped. I am also wearing a strapless black dress that ends 2 inches above my knees with combat boots as my shoes.

I heard the honk of a car outside, sigurado akong si Kyle yun. With last final glance, I looked satisfied at my appearance. I fetched my clutch bag and unplugged my cellphone from the charger.

I opened the door at tumambad kaagad sa akin si Kyle. He is extremely handsome on his black polo, with its sleeves rolled up on his elbows. He matched it with a black jeans that is ripped on the knees and Nikes.

"Just take a picture, it will last longer." Kyle said at nandoon na naman sa mukha niya ang cocky smile nya.

"Puh-lease, para namang kay gwapo mo para titigan ko. At FYI, di kita tinititigan, you're just in my line of vision." Pagde deny ko sa kanya. Well, totoo namang tinitigan ko sya, pero walang malisya yun.

"Whatever you say Alex." He said while holding my hand and guiding me into his car.

Dahil nga isang gentleman si Kyle, siya pa ang nagbukas ng pintuan ng kotse nya at siya pa ang nagkabit ng seatbelt ko. After attending me, sumakay na rin siya at nag drive papunta sa restaurant kung saan kami magde date.

After minutes of driving, we arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant is indeed, expensive. Parang mga mayayaman lang ang may karapatang kumain dito, because the restaurant really is elegant.

"Kyle, para naman yatang sobra sobra tong ginawa mo. It's too much."

Kyle gently placed his hand on mine and caressed my cheeks.
"Alex, para sayo lahat kaya kong ibigay. Money, jewelries, clothes, shoes, bag. Everything. Even my own life. Ganoon ka kahalaga sa akin Alex, ganun kita kamahal."

Di ako nakasagot sa sinabi ni Kyle. Really, ganoon niya talaga ako kamahal? Para namang wala akong puso kung ire reject ko siya at sasaktan, diba. So I just hold his hand and squeezed it at inaya ko na syang kumain.

The meal went on peacefully. Just talking about non sense things. He joked at para naman akong baliw sa kakatawa. We finished eating at hiningi na ni Kyle ang bill sa waiter. He placed a stash of money on the table.

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa dami ng perang inilapag niya. My God, para sa kanya wala lang yung perang inilapag niya, habang sakin I need to work day and night para lang magkaroon ng perang ganoon karami. Grabe, ganoon ba talaga kayaman ang lalaking to?

We exited the restaurant at pumunta na sa kotse nya. Bago kami sumakay ay nagulat ako ng bigla niyang hinila ang kamay ko at lalo pa akong napasinghap sa gulat ng inilapat niya ang mga labi niya sa mga labi ko.

At first, hindi ako nakagalaw, I didn't respond. Pero nung dapat ay tutugunin ko na ang halik niya ay may biglang humila kay Kyle, causing our connected lips to tear apart.

Nilingon ko ang misteryosong taong humila kay Kyle, and I gasped in shock when I saw who the intruder is.

An angry looking Damon, looking directly on my eyes, as his body is shaking with anger and Kyle's collar on his other hand. He is like a predator ready to pounce on his prey.

Lalo pa akong nagulat nang itinaas ni Damon ang kanyang kamao and punched Kyle square on his jaw, making Kyle fell face first on the floor.
