The Next Stage (COMPLETED)

TWENTY FIVE: Where Are You?

Charisse

"Hey, where the hell are you? Kapagod maghintay ah." I said.

"Just chill there, 'kay? I'm on my way." Tch. On his way pero naliligo palang talaga.

"Tss. Puro ka on your way eh, you like sapak?"

"B*tch. Just be patient, dami pang arte."

"By the way, where are we going to meet?" He added.

Yes, you have read it right, magkikita na kami ulit, sounds exciting, right?

"Tss, obviously, sa mall tayo magkikita. And about the exact place? I don't know, it's up to you."

"Nice answer. How about, Jollibee?"

Wow, ano siya, bata? How funny.

"Above all fancy places there, sa Jollibee talaga? You're so stupid."

"Tss. Why do you care? Tinatanong mo 'ko tapos ayaw mo ng sinasagot ko. You're more stupid than I am."

"Fine, fine. Let's settle on Jollibee, as you wish." I said.

Pero, bakit nga ba Jollibee? Wala na ba siyang magawa sa buhay? The hell.

"Okay. I'll hang up, see you when I see you." He said then he ended the call.

I started my engine after he end the call. Malapit lang naman sa place namin yung mall so, I would be there in three minutes.

I suddenly wonder what am I gonna do to the envelope that is beside me.

Zach's father asked me to read it and give it to Zach immediately. And, before he give this to me, I already know what it's all about.

Duh, of course our fixed marriage.

Ang iniisip ko nalang, ay kung paano ko 'to maibibigay kay Zach ng walang pilit pilit.

Madali nalang naman, since I know na sa mall din sila 'cause I have Julia's location from a tracking device.

If you're wondering kung saan ko 'yun nakuha, don't ever ask, sadyang magaling lang talaga ako.

And also, I have connections.

I turned off my engine at kaagad na lumabas sa car ko.

Oh. Kakarating lang ni Zach and...Julia? What the hell happened to her?

Well I don't care, she deserves that.

Pinauna ko muna sila maglakad bago ako pumasok sa loob ng mall. Pero they're still flirting to each other kaya mukhang matatagalan ako dito, tss.

"Hey," A man whispered to my ear at sasapakin ko na sana but I realized that it's Azreel.

Oh, he's still handsome after all.

"Hey, a*shole." Then I patted his shoulders.

"What makes you stand here for about a minute?" Tanong niya habang nakaakbay sakin. Wow, feeling close?

"The sh*tty flirting scene of the lovebirds. Pero dumating ka na, thanks to you kaya hindi ko na nakita."

"They're already here?" He asked, with a dismayed face. Hmm, sounds like jealousy.
