Chapter 2
Argh! Paika-ika akong naglalakad palabas ng bar.
"Damnit France! Answer your phone."
Three consecutive calls and she didn't answer! Umiikot na ang paningin ko, samantalang di pa ganun kadami ang naiinom ko.
When I'm finally outside the bar, I sat on the bench in the parking lot. I tried calling France again, but again she didn't pick up. I guess, I need to sober first.
Wala man lang akong napala ngayon sa hunting ko. Epal kase yang Edge na yan! He will really pay! He need to face the consequences of what he did, but first, I need to go home. 2 hours pa naman ang byahe mula dito papunta sa bahay ko. Tch. Wala pa namang taxi ang dumadaan dito. Or I could call Jacobi at magpahatid, mabait naman yon, kaso baka nag-eenjoy pa sya sa loob.
Fuck it! Why didn't I bring my car with me? Oh because I want thrill. Your so stupid Charevna! May pa-thrill ka pang nalalaman, yan ikaw ngayon ang nagdudusa.
A car stop in front of me.
"Need a ride miss?" I frown. Who's this guy? I don't know him!
"No, thank you." I half smile.
Ah Fuckboy! I know what you're up to.
Bumaba sya sa kotse nya at naglakad papunta sakin. Wth? Hindi pa ba nya alam ang ibig sabihin ng pagtanggi ko?
Don't he dare come near me!
He stopped beside me. Ugh I don't have energy to entertain an asshole! Get lost will you?!
He then put his hand to my shoulder, I jerk to remove his hand. Ewwy! Si Edge ngang may ichura kaysa sa kanya naaaduwa ako pag hinahawakan ako tas sya kasing pangit pa ata ng mga asong askal may pahawak-hawak pa sakin! How dare this man! Kapal ng muka.
I heard him chuckle. Gago talaga.
"Oh come on! I'm just being a good Samaritan here." Fake smile flustered on his ugly face.
Good Samaritan your ass! Lokohin mo na lelang mo, wag lang ako!
"Actually I appreciate it but I'm waiting for someone." Galing ko talagang umacting. Bravo!
"Your friend?"
"Ah hmm...," I spotted the guy earlier. He's walking towards here! Omg.
"my fiancé." I stand-up at sinalubong sya.
"Hey hon!" Nandidilat ang mata kong sinalubong sya. He frown.
"I need your help." I mouthed to him para di marinig ni askal boy. Naliwanagan naman sya sa sitwasyon ko.
With a mischievous smile, he started to walk towards me, meeting me half way.
"Hi hon, what happened to you?" He snaked his arms around my waist.
"Mild injury. May nabangga ako na matigas na bagay." Of course he knew what or who it was. I roll my eyes.
Hinapit nya pa lalo ako papalapit sa kanya. OMG. Magkaharapan kami baka nakakalimutan nya!
"What are you doing?" pagalit na bulong ko sa kanya. He just smirk at me.
May tumikhim sa likod ko. I grab that chance to pull away to him at hinarap si askal boy, oh boy, napakasama ko talagang tao.
"So he is your fiancé?" Askal ka talaga!
"Yeah problem with that?" I smile.
He chuckle. "Wala naman. I need to go" and he back off.
"Effective! Kita mo yon?!" Wearing my winning grin, I turn around to face him. His face is deadly serious, he look at me intently, not breaking our eye contact.
Seconds. Minutes. And...
"Geez okay okay. You win. Stop it"
IT'S VERY INTIMIDATING!
I look away. Hoping to see something interesting, but none.
"You know what, thank you for saving me to that fuckboy! I appreciate it but I really want to go home now. Hmm goodbye? See you around." I smile to him. Without waiting for his reply, I turn my heels and gracefully exited that scene. Even if my foot hurts, I tried my very best to walk with poise.
I need to get away from here. Back there, when we are having a staring contest, I sensed danger to that guy and it's creeping me out! Maybe, sinadya nya yon para lubayan ko na sya. Like duh!
***
I decided na sa condo na lang ni France matulog kaya doon ang tinuro kong address sa taxi driver.
While waiting for the elevator, my phone rings.
"FRANCE!"
"What the hell Charevna! Bat ka tumawag kanina? Nasa company pako, di ko namalayan na natawag ka pala kanina. What happened?"
"Magpapasundo sana ako sayo kanina, but wag kang mag-alala nandito na ko sa building ng condo mo. Dito na din ako matutulog." The elevator open, I walk in.
"Oh goodness! Buti naman at yun lang pala, sige. You know my passcode naman diba?"
"Uh-huh"
"Wag mo na din akong intayin, mag-oover time pa ako. Goodnight. Love you."
"Be safe France, I love you too." And the call ended.
I giggle. Oh silly, para kaming nasa isang romantic relationship ni France. What if kami magkatuluyan sa huli? I laugh at that thought.
I busy myself with my cellphone.
Facebook? check.
Twitter? check.
Tumblr? check.
Instagram? check.
Madalas 2 minutes lang nasa floor nako ng unit ni France. Bat parang antagal ko na dito? Nakapag online nako ng mga social media ko wala pa din ako sa floor ni Frace!
B-baka nasira tong elevator nato. Then may lalabas bigla na babae katulad sa mga horror movies omg.
Nasa sulok ako ng elevator.
Dahan-dahan akong nag-angat ng paningin and to my surprise.
"Holy fucking cow!" My heart is beating so fast. My breathing is heavy.
Infront, is the guy with a greek god features, in his poker face and his arms crossed, while leaning in the elevator door.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
