My Lover is the Son of a Mafia Leader

It's Thursday morning and I am suffering from flu. Kung wala lang siguro akong quiz sa isang major subject ko ngayon ay mas gugustuhin ko pang matulog buong araw.

"Eww Skyla" Yan ang pambungad sa akin ni Alexavia. Imbis na kamustahin ako ay pinandirihan ako ng loka loka. What a friend. 

Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at wala akong ginawa kundi suminghot sa panyo ko. Ang kati pa ng lalamunan ko. God, I hate this feeling. Hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Alexavia habang pinapanood ako. 

"Hoy Skyla, baka mamaya ebola na yan" siraulo talaga 'tong babaeng 'to minsan. 

"Shut up, Alex" Damn my voice sounds like a dying pig. 

"Shit ebola na talaga yan e." I ignored her and sneeze. Again and again. "Bakit ka ba kasi may flu? Nag-lunch lang kayo ni Anthony nagkaganyan ka na" humalakhak pa ang gaga. Kahit kailan talaga utak nitong babaeng ito. 

"Excuse me, Tuesday po kami nag-lunch. Kahapon lang po ako nagka-flu kasi naulanan ako"

"Hindi. Ganoon na rin yun" I rolled my eyes at her. 

Sandali siyang natahimik. "So.." tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "I know you're not feeling well right now... but please canyougowithmeat69easttonignt?" I blinked at her not sure if I heard her right.

"Can you repeat that?" 

"canyougowithmeat69easttonight?" I smirked at her. 

"Say what?" I say. She sighed. 

"Skyla Raisse Vielle, can you please join your gorgeous friend named, Alexavia Mendez at 69East tonight?"

Sinimangutan ko siya. "But that's not my scene, Alex and you know that" 

I love music but I don't enjoy loud music na pinapatugtog sa mga disco bar. I love to dance but I don't like the idea of someone grinding their genitalia against my ass. Call me old fashion but I don't find it appealing. 

"But Skyla, please loosen up a bit. Next month pa ang midterms. Why don't you have fun? Relax, hindi ka naman babagsak kung lalabas ka mamayang gabi."

"Your idea of fun is not my kind of fun, Alex" I sighed. "Besides, mas gusto ko pang matulog ng maaga" ngumite ako ng matipid sa kanya. 

"Hi, Skyla!" Napatingin ako sa bagong dating, kaklase ko siya sa dalawang major ko. 

"Hi Bee"

"Wala si Professor Castillo mamaya. Next meeting nalang daw yung quiz." I looked over Alexavia and now she's smiling like I just gave her the stars. I was about to say something when Alexavia beat me to it. 

"Thank you, Bee! You see, Skyla is not feeling well kasi thank you for informing her ha? Now she can finally rest" 

"Walang anuman. Pagaling ka, Skyla. Sige una na ako. Bye!" 

"Are you happy now?" 

"Of course I am very happy." hinawakan niya ako sa braso at bahagyang hinila patayo. She smiled at me. "Now. Go home. Rest. And I'll pick you up later at 10" and then she left. 

There are times that I ask myself if paano ko nga ba naging kaibigan si Alexavia? But it doesn't matter how, when and why. She's like a sister to me at kailanman ay hindi ko babaguhin iyon. 

While I am sniffing and walking to the parking lot hindi ko akalaing magkakaproblema pa pala ako hanggang dito. Hindi lang ilong ang problema ko ngayon kundi pati na rin ang kotse ko. My car was boxed in, one car in front, one car behind and one car each on both sides. 

Wow. Just perfect. 

Madali uminit ang ulo ko lalo na't masama ang pakiramdam ko. Now I'm pissed. Sinong tanga ba naman kasi ang ipa-park ang kotse nila sa harap ng kotse ko? Okay lang ako sa kotse na nasa likod pero ang problema ko talaga ay yung kotse na nasa harap ng kotse ko. Nananadya ba ang driver nito? O talagang ayaw akong pauwiin? 

I clenched my fist. I raised my left sneaker and I kicked the front bumper of the car. I was about to do it again when a voice stops me. 

"What the hell are you trying to do with my car?" 

I looked over the source of the voice. He's about probably six feet tall and somewhat muscular but still lean. His eyes are a slightly darker shade of brown, like coffee. Chiseled cheekbones lined with his beautiful face. 

Ngayon ko lang siya nakita. Is this the guy new or something? Ito yung kinababaliwan ng mga high school students? Yeah, he's handsome but so what?

."No. What the hell are you trying to do with your car? You're the one who parked in front of my car. How am I supposed to get out of here?" 

He shrugged. "Stay and don't cut classes." 

"Excuse me?" I sighed. "Can you just move your car?"

"I can't" 

"Why?"

"I just can't" 

"You can't or you won't"

He gave me a cheeky grin "Actually, both"

I never lost temper. This guy is testing my patience at kahit gwapo siya hindi ko siya uurungan. Hindi ako pinalaki ni Uncle ng ganun. 

"Give me your keys." 

"Why?" 

"I'll move your car" 

"Nope," he said now leaning against the other car. I want to wipe that grin on his face. 

"What the hell is wrong with you? Just give me the keys. I'll move your car and then I'll leave. We'll pretend this never happened." umiling iling siya sa mga sinabi ko. Isa nalang talaga uupakan ko na ang lalakeng 'to. 

"Nope. Nope. Nope" I was about to shout at him when I heard a couple of giggling girls staring at him. Then confirmed. Sya nga yung new guy, the giggling girls are the high school students na pumunta sa College building last week. 

"Hi Kev" I glared at the guy called Kev. Kung anong ikinagwapo niya ikinasama naman ng ugali niya. Nakakainis. 

I'm five seconds away from punching his face. 

"Skyla!" I heard a familiar voice at ng lumingon ako ay nakita ko si Jax na tumatakbo. Hinihingal pa siya ng huminto siya sa harap ko. "I'm sorry" ha? 

"Sorry? For what, Jax?" 

"You see. This car is mine, Skyla. Pasensya na wala na kasing space kanina kaya nai-park ko sa harap ng kotse mo. Saglit lang dapat ako pero natagalan ako sa loob ng Registrar. Sorry talaga" I heard a chuckle. I was too speechless to say something kaya tumango tango nalang ako

Jax moves his car out of my way and left. I stared at the Kev guy, he gave me a crooked smile. 

"That car wasn't yours" I wasn't asking. I was stating a fact. 

"Yes" 

"Then why," I asked, you don't mess with a girl who has flu. "did you tell me it was yours?" 

"I was just kidding around. You should have known that the moment I can't give you any keys" he smirked. 

"You know what.. piss off," I say as I walked towards my car. I immediately started the engine as soon as I got inside. 

I glanced at my rearview mirror and Kev was waving at me. I glared at him. I should go home and rest. Baka may gawin akong hindi maganda kagaya ng atrasan siya gamit ang kotse ko.
