Monster's Pet (Phoenix #2)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - WTF?

"I like being independent, not so much of an investment, no one to tell me what to do, I like being by myself, don't gotta entertain anybody else. No one to answer to--"

The music stops when my phone vibrates.

Ano ba ang tawag kapag enjoy na enjoy ka sa pakikinig ng music tapos may biglang tatawag na halimaw?

Well, it's called the monster disturbance!

Minsan na nga lang ako makapag-jam at makapag-moment eh! Kahit kailan, napakapanira niyang halimaw siya!

"Hello?!" bulyaw ko, nang malaman niyang isa siyang malaking istorbo. 

<"Where are you?">

"Why are you asking?"

<"Charlotte."> He warns, at kahit nasa kabilang linya siya, ramdam ko pa rin ang intensity. Ganyan ang dating at epekto ng lintik na halimaw na 'yan sa'kin. 

"Nasa kotse ako, nagda-drive. Happy?"

<"Pinuntahan mo si Kyle?">

"Alam mo naman pala eh, ba't nagtatanong ka pa?"

<"Why?">

"Anong why? Alam mo naman kung bakit ah!"

"I swear if you ever tell Heloise about this I'm gonna fudging chop your balls off." I would lie but this is Kyle Jovann Evans, he wouldn't buy it. Isa pa, kahit magsinungaling ako, I doubt na sasakyan ako ng halimaw. So better yet, tell this flirt the truth.

"Okay... that's scary... pero pwede namang sabihin mo na sa kanya. She's your best friend, right? Maiintindihan naman ni Hel 'yon, and she's sweet as a chocolate."

"Sasabihin ko naman. Humahanap lang ako ng perfect timing." My eyes squint, "But do you like chocolates?" I randomly ask, na-curious lang ako bigla since he mentions my most favorite thing in the world.

Ngumiti si Kyle, "I fucking love it."

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I just found a new best friend in town.

But of course being the Kyle Jovann Evans that he is, he wouldn't let this go for free gaya ng kaibigan niyang halimaw. 

Kakagaling ko lang sa mansion nila. Tinuruan ko siya sa Geometry, bilang kapalit nang pagtikom niya ng bibig. Pwede na, kaysa maging pet na naman ako. Lintik kasing halimaw 'yon eh. Mabuti si Kyle, hindi ako gaanong pinahirapan. 

Actually, never in a hundred billion years did I ever expect na makakasundo ko ang isang katulad ni Kyle Jovann because I honestly hate his guts. Ayokong ayoko sa mga lalaking flirt na tulad niya, 'yong tipong halos amoy babae na siya sa dami ng babaeng nakapaligid sa kanya?

But today I learn that Kyle isn't that bad.

And I'm also fully aware that I've been a judgmental bitch to him.

Just imagine, he doesn't just love chocolates, he also love dogs! Damnnn, pwede na talaga kaming best friends forever! At ang dami niyang aso ha!

In truth, I think mas lapitin siya ng mga aso kaysa mga babae. Kanina nga mas amoy aso siya eh, and I mean that in a good way. Mababango ang mga aso niya, mga alagang-alaga at close niya silang lahat.
