The Bachelor's Bed Games

Chapter 10: Hot Deals

Thinking about everything that was happening in her life, Kei couldn't stop herself from sighing. Every single detail running in her head was making her feel dizzy. Although she attempted to shoo all the thoughts away, she just couldn't and she continued thinking about all of them over and over again.

"Bwisit! Did he just call me love?" she grumbled as she abruptly sat up. She winced when she felt a throb of pain in her head.

She heaved a heavy breath again before laying back on her bed. "Love mo mukha mo, gago!" she murmured irately as she massaged her temple.

Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit bigla na lang na parang nagkagulo ang takbo ng buhay niya. At lalong hindi niya alam kung ano pa bang kamalasan ang pwedeng mangyari sa kanya ngayong nasa iisang bubong lang sila ng lalaking dahilan kung bakit parang gusto niyang pumatay ng tao.

He just saved your ass from that bastard Reanan. Bakit hindi ka na lang magpasalamat sa kanya? the other part of her brain taunted, the reason kung bakit siya lalong naguguluhan.

A part of her was telling her that she should be angry and annoyed at Kian because all he did on that day was to give her a cold shoulder then she just blinked and he was now staking his claim to her. On the contrary, the other side was telling her that what Kian did was just all right.

Bwisit talaga 'yung blue-eyed dragon na 'yon! Sakit ng ulo lang ang dinala sa'kin mula nang magkita ulit kami! she silently grumped.

"Ikaw naman kasing babae ka, magpapakatanga ka na lang sa isang lalaki ay sa manloloko pa. Ngayon bumagsak ka tuloy sa isa pang gago!" she chastised herself. "Bwisit talaga 'yang mga lalaking 'yan! Hindi ka pa talaga natuto sa experience ng Mommy mo at nagpaloko ka rin sa kanila! Ba't hindi na lang maglaho sa mundo 'yang mga bwisit na 'yan!" she huffed.

She was distant from men before. She was so skeptical about the motives of the men trying to enter into her mother's and her life. Pakiramdam kasi niya ay iiwanan at sasaktan lang sila ng nanay niya ng lahat ng mga lalaki. Just like what her father did.

She never really knew anything about her father. Ni hindi niya alam kung anong itsura nito dahil hindi naman niya ito nakita. Ang k'wento sa kanya ng kanyang Mommy ay iniwan siya ng nobyo nito nang malaman niyang buntis siya. She felt angry and hurt about it but she just couldn't do anything.

Noong una ay naghahanap siya ng kalinga na isang ama. Nasasaktan siya tuwing nakikita ang ibang bata na kumpleto ang pamilya - may nanay at tatay. She asked so many things about her father when she was at a very young age but her mother did not give any detail about him.

It was not until she was introduced with the Reyes clan that she stopped asking about her father. Nang makilala niya ang kanyang Ninong Karlo ay pakiramdam niya'y nagkaroon siya ng kahit papaanong maituturing na isang ama. He was so good to her. Karlo filled her longing for a father and Kei was very grateful for that.

Pero hindi no'n napalitan ang tingin niya sa mga lalaki. Pakiramdam niya kasi ay hindi lahat ng lalaki ay katulad ng kanyang Ninong Karlo na mapagmahal sa asawa at sa kanyang pamilya. Tingin niya'y mas marami pa rin sa mga ito ang mga manloloko kagaya ng kanyang ama.

Then, she met Reanan. He was her classmate on one of her subjects in Masteral Degree that she took. Since the day they first met, Reanan was very vocal that he was attracted with Kei. Days passed by and he was already courting Kei, even without her approval.

At first, Kei didn't buy anything that Reanan told her or did for her. Her walls were so proud and tall that she didn't let anyone to easily break them. Ngunit sadyang mapilit si Reanan sa kanya. Kahit anong pagdi-discourage ang gawin nito sa binata ay ipinagpatuloy pa rin nito ang panliligaw kay Kei. At lumipas nga ang mahigit isang taon ay unti-unting lumambot ang puso ni Kei para dito.
