Her Billionaire Boss

Chapter 28

For once in my life I thought I could get whatever I want. Ever since I was a kid, ang dami ko nang gustong angkinin. Lahat ng mga laruan na gustong-gusto ko, palagi kong hinihingi. As always, my parents would spoil me.

But right now, it made me think. I can't get what I always want. Ngayon, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Kanina ko pa iniisip kung anong nangyari kay Deseree. Okay naman kami ah? Okay kami noong nakaraang araw, pero bakit bigla-bigla nalang umiiwas? It's really confusing.

"Dude, Cristina's going to have a party tonight." Miguel said, tapping at his phone.

We're at our usual room. With console games, pool table and some books to read, this is where we usually hang out.

"So?" Masungit kong sagot, making them whip their heads at me as if I'm growing a second head.

"Anong 'so'? Syempre, pupunta ka diba?" Drake asked.

"I'm not in a mood, right now. You can survive without me." I dismissed them by turning on the Xbox.

"Bago to ah?" Kris concluded, staring at me as if he will fish out the weird actions I'm doing right now.

A spoiled brat like me, like a usual bad boy vibe, I always attend parties. Kung sakaling merong attendance, perfect attendance ata ako. But now, I am definitely not in a mood. I just want to drown myself to sleep and just hope that Deseree's sudden cold shoulder is just a dream. No, more like a nightmare to me.

"Wala ka bang sakit oh ano?" Tanong ni Miguel at agad akong tumayo para pumunta sa kwarto ko. Nakakainis na kasi.

"Hoy! Blake!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Kris at hindi ako tumingin o sumagot dahil nasa labas na ako.

Diritso lang ang lakad ko patungo sa kwarto. Pagpasok ko, umupo ako sa edge ng kama ko at ginulo ang ulo ko sa inis.

Ano bang nagawa ko, Deseree? Wala naman ah? Bakit bigla kang umiiwas?

These questions are making me crazy. Ewan ko nalang kung ano ang gagawin ko. Pinilit ko ang sarili ko na mag-isip-isip.

Tumayo ako at kinuha ang car keys. I deserve a night drive. I need to clear my mind first. A night drive might ease me up a bit.

Paglabas ko sa kwarto, naabutan kong nakakumo yung kamay ni Drake, like he's going to knock the door. I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering why they are all here.

"I was going to say that we're going to the party." Said Drake, putting his hand down.

"You sure you're not coming?" Kris asked.

I shook my head, "No, I won't go."

I saw Miguel nodding. They got nothing to do, anyways. If I decided on something, nothing will ever change my mind.

After a minute or so, they decided to go back and prepare for the party. They were quite puzzled by my actions but they knew I will let them know why, sometime. I just needed some time to clear my head. Deseree is making me bothered and I can't help but to over think what was happening to her.

I whip out my phone kasi napag isipan kong itext ko nalang sya.

Hey, u okay?

I shook my head and deleted the text message that I wrote. There's something in me na parang ayaw ko muna siyang itetext. I don't know but my gut says there's something wrong. I typed my message again.

Deseree, kung ayaw mo akong pansinin lagot ka sakin!

Para naman akong tanga dito.

I decided to not text her nalang.

I was going to put down my phone and then, my phone rang. Huminto yung buong sistema ko kasi akala ko si Deseree yun pero si Miguel lang pala.
