Chapter 13

--

From: Quinn Sandler
I miss you, babe.

She couldn't help grinning like an idiot when she had read Quinn's message. Pero agad ring nalusaw ang ngiti niya. Hindi siya dapat matuwa. Normal lang naman na mag-text sa kanya ang mga naging boyfriends niya whenever she's acting like a bitch or whenever she's getting fed up with them. And no, she will never text them first. Pero bakit hindi niya mapigilan ang munting tuwang nararamdaman niya ngayon? Sighing while shaking her head, she placed her phone back on her purse. Hindi na niya muna ito sasagutin. She didn't want to appear as if she's too eager to take him back. No, just no. Pahihirapan niya muna ito.

Ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagpasok sa Prima Donna. Agad siyang nilapitan ng isang sales-lady to assist her in choosing, pero agad niya ring itong itinaboy. Naiinis siya kapag may bumubuntot sa kanyang mga sales-lady whenever she's shopping alone. Feeling niya kasi, ipinapalabas ng mga ito na wala siyang pambayad, when in fact, she had loads of money! Kaya mas gustong niyang mag-shopping kapag kasama ang kakambal niya, si Denisse, or Enna. Especially Enna, dahil walang nagtatangkang lumapit sa kanila kapag sila ang magkasama. Natatakot siguro ang mga itong matarayan ng kaibigan.

She roamed around the store, taking her time in choosing what to add to her collection. So far, may dalawa na siyang napili and nakapag-sukat na rin siya ng ibang shoes. One was a beige 6-inches corset heels, while the other was also 6-inches, but a floral baby blue sling-back heels. Next on her list was stilettos. However, wala siyang mapiling matinong stilettos. They just didn't match her taste.

Deciding that she had enough shopping, she headed straight to the counter so she could pay. Tutal, nasa cashier area naman na ang mga napili niyang sapatos dahil ipina-bitbit niya iyon sa sales-lady kanina. Taking her purse, she took out her credit card. But before she could hand it to the cashier girl, sakto namang nag-vibrate muli ang phone niya. She took her phone and realized that she had another message from Quinn. Sighing, she opened it. And just like earlier, his message still ahd the same effect on her. It still made her breath hitch.

From: Quinn Sandler
Dinner tayo? Please, babe. I'm sorry for what I did. 

Should she give in? Tama na ba ang pagpapakipot niya o dapat pa niya itong pahirapan? Nakatulala lamang siya sa screen ng phone niya, contemplating on what answer should she give him. 

"Uh, M-Miss?" untag sa kanya ng cashier girl, dahilan para mabaling ang atensyon niya dito. Keziah gave the girl a confused look, and it was then that she realized, hindi pa pala siya nakakabayad. She groaned in irritation. Damn Quinn. Damn him to death for making her insides wild! Agad niyang ibinigay ang credit card niya sa babae, who in return gave her a knowing smile. She rolled her eyes and decided to keep her phone instead. Papahirapan pa niya ang lalaki. Desidido na siya. 

Nang matapos ang pagbabayad, agad niyang kinuha ang kanyang credit card at  ang bagong mga pinamili before walking out of the shop. Naglakad siyang hanggang sa makarating sa car park. Once she reacher her car, pabalibag niyang ibinagsak ang mga binili niya sa back seat. Wala siyang pakialam kung nagkalat man ang mga pinamili niya o hindi dahil hindi pa rin siya maka-get over sa katangahan niya kanina. And to think na mayroon pang nakapila behind her! Sinara niya ang pintuan ng back seat at agad siyang naglakad sa driver's seat. Dali-dali siyang sumakay, slamming the door shut right after.

She was just about to start her engines when she heard her phone ringing. She begrudgingly took her purse and checked who was calling. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o maaasar sa nabasa niyang pangalan. It was Quinn Sandler. Again. But because she still feel embarassed from earlier, mas nanaig ang pagka-asar niya rito. Ibinagsak niya ang phone niya sa katabing passenger's seat, katabi ng kanyang purse. Pinanood niyang mag-ring ang phone niya hanggang sa tumigil ito. Maya-maya lang, nag-ring itong muli. 

"Talagang hindi siya sumusuko?" she whispered. Taking in a sharp breath, she grabbed her phone and answered it.

"What do you want?" ang unang bungad niya instead of saying 'Hello.' Naiinis kasi siya. She shouldn't feel this way. Para siyang aligagang ewan and Quinn was obviously the one to blame for it. Aaminin niyang na-attract naman siya sa mga ex-boyfriends niya noon, pero hindi kasing-tindi ng kay Quinn. And till now, she still couldn't figure out kung anong meron sa binata. Ano nga ba ang meron ito at ganoon na lamang ang reaksyon niya kapag si Quinn na ang involve? 

May ilang segundo itong nanahimik sa kabilang linya. Feeling as though her patience was growing thin, ibababa na dapat niya ito. But she wasn't able to do that when she heard his baritone voice.

"You."

What he told her was true. He wanted her. He wanted to see her tonight and have his ways on her. That way, he'll be able to do his mission as soon as possible so that his inheritance and stocks on the company will no longer be put on hold. 

In all honesty, until now, he still thinks that his deal with his grandfather was ridiculous. Bakit ba atat na atat itong magkaroon ng apo sa kanya, when in fact, some of his cousins already had their own children? Hindi niya alam kung ilan ang mga pinsan niya, and it wasn't as if he'd bother counting them. But he's sure as hell that some of them had a child of their own. Parang ang nakaka-batang kapatid ni Ynigo na si Yna. Maaga itong nabuntis at nang malaman ng boyfriend nitong nagdadalang-tao ito, iniwan ito ng loko-lokong boyfriend. Wala siyang masabi kay Yna. Compared kay Ynigo, mas kasundo niya ito, pero hindi rin naman sila ganoon ka-close. They're both civil. Ganoon naman kasi siya sa lahat ng pinsan niyang alam niyang matino.

"You want me?" manghang tanong ni Keziah sa kabilang linya. He grinned. He could hear her irritation lacing through her voice. He was expecting this to happen. Ang maasar ito dahil sa hindi siya magparamdam pagkatapos ay hindi siya nito papansinin. He knew girls too well. And he knew she'll give in soon. Konting bola lang dito at pasa-saan ba't bibigay rin ito. Kapareho rin nito ang mga babaeng dumaan sa palad niya. Madaling makuha.

"Of course I do, babe. Miss na kita. Sobra. And I'm sorry. I'm really sorry sa inasal ko kahapon." he told her dramatically. Sinadya pa niyang gawin seductive ang boses niya para madala ito. Nanahimik ito sa kabilang linya, and he could hear her erratic breathing. Looking on the bright side, may maidudulot namang maganda ang deal nila ng kanyang abuelo. It was the deed of making a child. Aba, maganda ang prospect niya. And he'll be a hypocrite if he'd say that Keziah was bad in bed. Compared to all his exes, it was only Keziah who stood out. Kung napapaligaya niya ang babae, which was downright obvious, ay ganoon rin ito. Magaling ito, and he couldn't ask for more.

'Konting bola pa, Quinn.' he thought to himself triumphantly, smirking afterwards. Bibigay rin ito, at kapag bumigay ito, then it's mission accomplished. Nakahanda na ang lahat para sa gabing ito. He already reserved a dinner for two at a restaurant, booked a hotel room for tonight and nasa bulsa na rin niya ang drug na gagamitin niya rito. He was sure that everything will run smoothly. However, Keziah burst his little bubble dahil sa sinabi nito.

"I'm not in the mood to hear your excuses. Go fvck someone else." and the line went dead.

Napa-nganga na lamang siya sa gulat dahil sa kanyang narinig. Go fvck someone else? What the hell? Tama ba ang narinig niya? He gritted his teeth in frustration. And here he was thinking that everything was running smooth.

'Tangina Keziah! Makita lang ulit kita, hindi kita titigilan. I'll fvck you over and over again hanggang sa mabuntis kita!'
