The Bitter, The Better (Salvador Series #1)

Chapter 23: Pag-iwas

Kaitlin's POV

I have to do this. I have to stay away from him. It's for him by the way, para maiwasan kong mas masaktan siya. Para makahanap pa siya ng iba habang maaga pa.

Letting him go is the best choice that I can do. I chose to leave my happiness than pursuing it. I chose to let him go than to stick with his words. I chose to hurt him than to make him happy.

"Tama naman ako diba? Diba?"

"Oh please Kaitlin, tama na yan! Goodness, baka magpa search and rescue na ang daddy at mommy mo kapag nagtagal pa tayo dito. You're soooo drunk for heaven's sake!"

Tumayo ako sa stool ng bar counter. Im trying to stand still but I can admit that I'm really feeling dizzy.

"Banny.. I'm fine! We can even dance! Let's go! Whooo!"

"Huy Kaitlin!! Hoy wag mo kong iwan dito!" I didn't even wait for Banny. Agad akong sumugod sa dancefloor. Di pa gaano karami ang mga tao. I can still see that clearly.

I started to dance with any moves na sumagi sa isip ko. I just don't care. I can't just feel anything. I'm invulnerable but right now? I just want to get myself lost from everything, everyone.

"Hey miss. You dance so nice. Very seductive. Wanna enjoy the heat somewhere else?" a voice from behind whispered. Agad akong humarap sa kaniya.

He's starting to touch me on the back of my waist. I smiled at him. Diba gusto ko kumawala? I want to forget even just for awhile.

"I want to dance..only. If you can't be with me to just dance, then I'm sorry boy. You're so into trouble if that's the case."

"Well I'd rather be in trouble than to leave..." he was cut off by a sudden voice from behind.

"Yeah. You better leave her alone. She's my girl." titignan ko pa sana siya but.. but I feel really dizzy right now.

"So-sorry dude. I didn't know." umalis na yung lalaki.

"Alam mo ikaw? Sino ka ba ha?" dahil sa hilo, I can't see him clearly anymore.

"Tss. Bakit ba kasi andito ka?" I want to speak pa sana but everything just went black. But I know my tears are still falling.

The sun greeted me as I open my eyes. I inspected the room with just my eyes roaming around. Kelan pa naging puti at black ang kwarto ko? At kelan pa naging color silver ang lampshade ko?

And oh my?? Kelan pa naging puro white ang color ng kama ko? This should be sky blue! And.. kailan lang ako nagkaroon ng ganitong damit?!

"Miss? Gising na po pala ka.."

"Where.Am.I?" I asked immediately. I saw her face got scared because of what I did. "I said where am I?!!!!"

"Ahm Miss, andito po kayo sa mansion ng mga Mendez. Dinala po kayo dito ng young master namin kagabi." kumunot agad ang noo ko sa sinabi niya.

"And who is that?" before she could even answer my question,the door suddenly opened.

"Tss. Aga aga ang ingay mo." humarap siya sa katulong. "Yaya, pakibigay na po sa kaniya yung damit niya." at humarap naman siya sa akin. "Get up and be ready, Kaitlin. Maya-maya andito na si Zander para su..."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. "ZANDER?!" Zane seemed so shock dahil sa pagsigaw ko. "Sorry."

"May problema ba kayong dalawa? He told us that this past few days ay parang stress na stress ka. Ano bang problema? Yung librong ginagawa natin matatapos ko na. You don't have to worry anymore. Ano pang iniisip mo?!"
