Not His Type

Chapter 13

"So how does dating Earl Zade Evardome feels like?" Natalia asked.

Nasa isang cafe ako ngayon dahil maaga ako natapos sa work. What's good about this work is that kapag maaga kang natapos sa business meeting, you're done for the day. Zade was right. We weren't able to see each other the next few days dahil busy ako. Yep, ako ang busy. Siguro kaya din niya nasabi na di kami magkikita dahil alam niya kung gaano ka-busy ang magiging trabaho ko, it was his previous job after all. 

"Well two weeks na kaming di nagkikita and I am not dating him." Sagot ko. She bursted out laughing. She can really ruin the mood.

"Baka naman feeler ka lang kasi!" Sabi niya.

If I know she's just bitter! Palibhasa walang nagtatagal sa kanya, napaka-high maintenance kasi. But that's her, and a real man would stand up and meet those standards, and by standards, I meant Natalia's bratty attitude.

"Busy ako, okay?"

"Baka naman masyado kang pakipot, ayan nagsawa." Dagdag pa niya.

"He knows na ayoko nang clingy."

"Wow, bakit, kayo na ba? Kung makapagsalita ka diyan akala mo official na kayo ah."

Hindi na ako nagsalita pa. Ughhh, I know he gave me his key card and all pero not once did I even go to his condo. Hindi ko din siya tinatawagan. And he's the same. Minsan he would text me saying goodnight and stuff pero hindi siya tumatawag. I'm starting to believe na baka nga feeler lang ako. Assumera, ganun. Maybe I was too serious?

I unconsciously dialed Zade's number and before I could even end it, sinagot na niya. Natalia even laughed silently sa nagawa ko. Yes, its so not me.

"Yes?" Sagot niya. Nandito na 'to, wala na akong magagawa. Damn, I'm missing that guy, yun lang. Nakakainis.

"Busy ka ba?" I asked.

Eww, Kashmere. Seriously, ganyan talaga yung tanong mo?

"Nope. Why?"

"Wala lang. Sige, bye."

"Where are you?"

"The Grind."

"Okay." Then he hung up. Uhm, wala manlang goodbye? Tch, bahala siya. My ego is now lecturing me kung bakit ko daw ba siya tinawagan.

"Ano daw?" She asked.

"Wala." Sagot ko nalang to which she patted my shoulders trying to comfort me. I rolled my eyes at her, badtrip.

I stayed there for a few more minutes dahil wala rin naman akong gagawin sa condo kung maaga ako uuwi. Natalia just kept ordering food dahil magss-stress eating daw siya today. After half and hour, I decided na umuwi nalang. Maybe I can just sleep early today kaysa naman sa sayangin ko ang oras ko dito kasama si Natalia na tinatawanan lang ako.

"I'm going home."

"Really? Okay, see you next week nalang."

I was about to stand up and leave when someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder to stop me. It was the guy I was on the phone with just now. Sa sobrang gulat ko ay hindi agad ako nakapagsalita.

"Good thing you're still here." He said.

"Uy, Zade! Buti naman dumating ka. This girl was so sad, di mo daw siya tinatawagan." Natalia said kaya naman sinipa ko yung paa niya sa ilalim ng lamesa. I'm having my revenge on this girl later.

"I know. Normally, she wouldn't call me so I know something's up." Sagot ni Zade. Stop, Kashmere, now's not the time to blush. But still, he went here in a giffy dahil lang sa tawag ko?
