Dare: Kiss a Stranger

Chapter 20

Luke's POV

Two days ago na ang nakakaraan ng umalis si Rain, two days na din akong bad mood.

"Hey baby, " sabi ng isang babae sa bar na kaibigan ni Collin. It's Hack's birthday, so we're celebrating it at the bar where I first met Rain.

Nginitian ko ang babae. "Leave." Sabi ko.

"Hmp!" Galit nyang sabi, habang nakasimangot.

"Bro what's wrong? Wait aren't you going to the Philippines tomorrow." I drink the beer in my hand, and nod. "Do you think you'll find her there?"

I smirk. "I'll find her. I'll find her."

"Damn love change you for real." Sabi naman ni Nick. "The playboy Luke Morris is now in love with just one girl. Damn, love can really change you."

"Shut up! She's different." Sabi ko.

"What is this a movie? A playboy falling in love with a normal girl, just because she's different." Sarkastikong sabi ni Collin.

"Whatever man, you three will never understand." Sabi ko. Never talaga nilang maiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko kay Rain. She gets me like no other person. She said she likes me, even though she said that she'll never fall in love with me. Thinking about, seeing her again, I can't help but smile about it.

"Damn. He's gone. Playboy Luke is gone guys." Sabi naman ni Hack. I finish my beer and stand up. "Where are you going?"

"I need to go home, I still need to pack and sign some papers before I leave tomorrow. Happy birthday again man." Kinamayan ko sya at umalis na.

Ng makauwi na ako ay nag-pack na ako ng last ng mga gamit ko at pinirmahan ang dapat pirmahan para sa mga negosyo ko. Excited na ako.

Biglang tumunog ang laptop ko at dali dali ko ito sinagot. "Hey lola."

"Apo. Apo, rinig mo ba ako?" Sabo ni lola. Ngumiti ako.

"Opo lola rinig kita." Sigaw ko ng kaunti.

"What time are you landing at the airport?" Tiningnan ko yung ticket ko sa tabi ko.

"Around dinner time there." Sagot ko.

"Your cousin will be the one picking you up." Sabi naman ni lola. "Harry!" Tawag ni lola sa background.

"Hey Luke! Remember me?" Tanong nya. Tumawa ako.

"Of course I do! What's up man?" Sabi ko.

"Wag mo kalimutan ang shoes ko!" Sabi ni Harry.

Tumawa uli ako. "Don't worry I got your shoes." May biglang nag-door bell. "I gotta go bro! Tell lola I'll see her tomorrow, I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Alright cuz. Kita tayo tomorrow." Sabi ni Harry.

Ng binuksan ko ang pinto ay bumungad sa akin si Mommy.

"Mom?" may buhat-buhat syang malaking box. "What is this?"

"For you to bring in the Philippines, mga pasalubong for them. Help me carry them will you." Tinulungan ko si Mommy at ipinasok ito sa condo ko. "You can check this in."

"I know Mommy." Sabi ko habang inaayos ang mga papeles ko.

"Are you all set?" Tanong nya, habang pino-fold ang huli kong mga damit.

"Yes mommy." Sagot ko.

"Is she really that worth it?" Ngumiti ako at hindi na nakasagot. "I guess she really is."

Lumapit sa akin si mommy at hinawakan ang pisngi ko. "Someday ipakilala mo sya sa akin, I would love to meet her and I know your daddy will too."

"Someday you will, and you'll love her." Sabi ko.
