The Parisian Queen (Complete)

Chapter 42

"I will get you back into my arms again. No matter what it takes. So don't belittle this fcking asshole of yours."

Playing Aces

"Hi Reyna! Have you got home safe." King called right after I entered my room. We just arrived from our flight from Davao.

"Yup! How about you?"

"Mhh." He nod.

"So what really is the reason of you to call me?" I interrogated. I didn't knew King of a boring conversation. I always had a fun if not derisive talk with him.

"None. I just called to check you." He explained.

"To check me? Acting like my boyfriend huh?" I made a silly tone before chuckling.

"You wish." He said.

"So what really is the reason? I get a better version of myself King. I know when someone is deceiving me." I retured back to my question.

He sighed. "Fine. I'll just check if you accidentally bump into your ex again."

I creased my forehead. "Thankfully I didn't. Wait... Why did you think of that?"

"Nah, I have just this strange feeling that he wants to get you back."

I sniggered. "Get me back? Utot niya. Kainin niya lahat ng sinabi niya 2 years ago. And how sure you are that he want me back again?"

"Lalaki rin ako Reyna. Meron kaming alam na kadalasan ay hindi niyo nalalaman."

"Like what? Manggago ng babae at paglaruan ang feelings namin."

I heard him coughed from the other line. "You are stereotyping! That's not what I meant."

"So what do you really mean when you said na may alam kayong mga lalaki na hindi namin alam? ... Like having masturbation in CR at magsayang ng toilet paper?"

"WHAT THE HELL!" He immediately responded. "Bahala ka sa buhay mo. Bye!"

"Wait." I laughed. "I really get what you wanted to tell me King, and I appreciate your concern. Don't worry, I am not easily fooled now."

"Nice to hear you saying that." He answered.

"Manang Linda. Ikaw na muna ang uutusan kong mag grocery. May aasikasuhin kasi ako kasama si Armando." I overheard mom on my way to our kitchen.

"Ako nalang ang pupunta ng supermarket mommy." Ngumiti ako sa pagsulpot ko sa kitchen.

Napatingin naman silang pareho sa akin.

"Nako. Ako nalang ho, maam. Hindi ho dapat nag-grogrocery ang ganyan kagandang dalaga."

Tumawa ako ng marinig si Manang Linda. "Maganda lang ako manang pero hindi ako prinsesa. Ako nalang ho ang mag gro-grocery. Gawin niyo nalang ho yung mga gagawin niyo dito sa bahay."

"Sigurado ka Reyna?" Aniya.

"Ok na rin yan manang, kesa walang ginagawa yan dito." Mom went on the refrigerator and picked a piece of paper from its door. "Oh, this will be that list of items that you need to buy." She handed it to me.

Ngumiti ako. Copy!

I ride my car after bidding my goodbye. I didn't even bothered to change my clothes. I was in my typical lined gray sweatpants and light blue hoodie with matching bunny ears. I found it cute in London so I bought it. Bunny ears is heart.

Going back! I wasn't smoothly travelling because of some moderate traffic. Isa pa, nanibago ako ng kaunti rito sa Manila. Medyo nalilito na rin ako sa daanan.
