Chapter 3
Via
I tried to fight pero nang lumalim na ang kaniyang mga halik, I just found myself kissing him back just like what happened last night. And when he let me go we were both panting and catching our breaths.
"Ta---" My words are cut off when he captured my lips again and I was once lost again.
Our kiss was stopped when someone knocked. Actually, I was the one who stop. Pilit ko siyang itinutulak pero pilit niyang inaabot ang aking labi.
"T-tariq." Sa halip na galit ang tono ko ay tila naging pa-ungol pa ito.
"Your lips are addicting." He said while panting.
I blushed. "M-may tao."
"Let them be." He was about to kiss me again pero naging maagap ako.
"This will be a huge scandal if someone saw me here with you." Papatayin ako ni Dad.
Pinakatitigan niya ko and I felt uncomfortable. "Fine." Tila napipilitang aniya. He unlocked the door then he immediately pull me in on the nearest cubicle at doon kami nagtago.
Lumapit siya sa akin at bumulong kung anong gagawin ko and the next thing I knew ay nasa labas na ako without messing or causing a scandal that might give my father a heart attack.
Tariq
Nakalabas na siya. Hindi lang ako makalabas sa ngayon dahil may tao pa sa labas. I waited hanggang sa wala na akong marinig. I was about to open the door when I heard someone. F*ck! May pumasok na naman!
"Charlie! What are you doing here?!" Rinig ko. Kumunot ang noo ko. Is that Lauren?
"You look ravishing in that black dress, babe." A man said.
Lauren is wearing a black dress! Is my fianceé cheating on me?!
A moan invaded my ears so I decided to open the door at hindi nga ako nagkamali, it was my fianceé, making out with some random guy.
"Tariq?!"
"Hey, babe." I said with a smirked. I looked at the guy, I know him. Isa sa mga co-model niya.
"Tariq, it's not what you think!"
I looked at her from head to toe. I am assessing my feelings. Why can't I feel any green monster inside me? "Ayusin mo ang sarili mo."
"Tariq." Lumapit siya sa akin pero tinabig ko lang siya dahilan para mawalan siya ng balanse.
She's my fianceè and yet I can't feel anything. Ni hindi ako nakaramdam ng selos when I saw her kissing some random guy pero nagagalit ako dahil anong karapatan niyang gaguhin ako?!
"I don't need your explanations. The engagement is off and shut your f*cking mouth, I don't want a scandal." Sabi ko at nang makalapit ako sa lalaki ay isang malakas na suntok ang pinatama ko sa kaniyang mukha.
My father is right. I don't love Laura pero hindi ko rin masasabing mahal ko si Via. I will proceed to my plan whatever it takes. A hideous plan that can break Xenovia's heart katulad ng paulit-ulit na pagkawasak ng puso ng aking ina.
Mabilis na hinanap ng aking mga mata si Via and I saw her with Sean Del Prado. That man obviously likes Via and she can't see that.
Lumapit ako sa kanila kasabay nang pagtugtog ng musika. Sean was about to ask for Via's hand pero inunahan ko siya.
"May I?" Via looked at me. She was hesistant. I smiled.
Don't make me wait, Via.
She looked at Sean. I think she's asking for permission like what the f*ck?! Bakit kailangan niyang magpaalam sa lalakeng ito?!
When our hands touched madali ko siyang hinila sa dance floor. Inilapit ko ang aming katawan sa isa't-isa.
"Tariq,"
"What?"
"Are you mad?" Tanong niya.
"Do I look mad?"
She nods. "Kinda."
"Bakit kailangan mong humingi ng permiso sa Sean na iyon?" Pinakita ko ang inis na nararamdaman ko. Mas nagagalit pa ako sa nakita ko ngayon kesa iyong tungkol kay Lauren.
"Sean is my best friend, he's like a brother to me."
"No romantic feelings?" Tanong ko. Pinakatitigan ko siya.
She bit her lower lip at nag-iwas ng tingin. I knew it!
"Don't lie to me, Via." I want to hear it from her.
"Well...I do like him before but..."
"But what?"
"I think I like you more." She said and I think my heart skipped a f*cking beat! Skipped a beat? So f*cking cheesy but I can't help but to smile.
"Anong ibig sabihin ng ngiting 'yan?"
"I'm happy. I'm happy because the person I like feels the same way." I said. That's 50% true. I like her as a woman especially when I'm kissing her.
"So...do you like me?" Tila naninigurong tanong niya.
"Do I have to answer that?"
"Of course!" Napalakas ang kaniyang boses para mapatingin sa amin ang iba pang nagsasayaw. Via just gave them an apologetic smile.
I chuckled a bit. "I like you, Ms. Via Montier."
She smiled sweetly. "I like you too, Mr. Tariq Ledesma."
-----
"I love you, Mrs. Via Ledesma." I said while looking at her picture.
I sighed. Hanggang sa litrato ko na lang masasabi kung gaano ko siya kamahal.
