Love Suicide

DECEMBER 23: Wednesday

Dude, he's damn crazy! He kept on smiling and I don't fuckin' know why.

Naglakad ako ng mas mabilis kaya naman hindi ko na siya nakakasabay sa paglalakad. "Hey wait up!" He said.

I roll my eyes and swung the theatre's door open. Pumasok agad ako at nakita ko do'n ang ibang mga kasama namin para sa program namin na gaganapin the day after tomorrow, in short, on Christmas day.

"You two are always late!" Sigaw ni Miss Richie habang nakatingin sa'ming dalawa.

I walk straight to her, "I'm sorry Miss Richie--"

He stopped me from asking an apology to his mom.

"Mom, be considerate. You already know that I have to take care of Jacq 'cause she's sick and that's also the reason why I ask for permission if I could spend the night with--"

"What the hell, Ken?!" I looked at Miss Richie when her voice started to raise. "I thought you have a sleep over and you're spending your whole night at Justin's place?!" She asked her son, furiously.

I mentally put my palm on my face.

I poke Quin causing Miss Richie to stop nagging at him. "Why didn't you tell me that that's what you--"

"Cause I know you'll grit your teeth just like what you've been doing right now and scold me."

I close my eyes and sigh. "Buti naman alam mo." I whispered.

"Jacq, I'm sorry." Napatingin nalang ako kay Miss Richie. "But just so you know, it's fine with me since you're his girlfriend and you already slept at our--"

"Mom." Quin glared at his own mom causing Miss Richie to shut her mouth.

And what now? The people inside the theatre room heard what she said.

"Ugh, whatever." She looked at me and smiled. "Are you now feeling good?" I nod for the answer.  "Well that's great! I bet my son took good care of you just like what you did to him when he's the one who's sick."

"Mom," Quin once again call his mom for her to stop talking.

We're damn making a scene and I saw Justin, chuckling that's why I glared at him.

"Okay! Go back to your positions. I'll be taking care of these two first! Justin, take charge." I roll my eyes from the thought that I'll be with Quin the whole day again.

"So what happened last night?" She asked the moment we're on the front seats for the audience.

I remembered what happened last night then I mentally smiled.

"You're thinking too much." I said to him and he just smile.

"Tapos na ata 'yong sinasabi mong meteor shower, tara na matulog ka na."

"Ako lang?" He nodded and smiled. "Pa'no ka?"

"Oh come on Jacq, don't act like you care."

"Wow. Should I be offended?"

"Why?" He smiled but didn't reached his eyes.
