He Cheated (Zild Benitez Short Fanfiction)

6

I was about to clean the dishes when my phone rang. As expected, it was Zild with his over 10 missed calls.

I groan and carelessly answered the call, "What do you want?"

"Good morning to you too." He sarcastically replied, "I'll be there early. We can eat lunch together."

I scoffed, "Do you think that I'll eat lunch with you after last night?"

"Iya, don't start." He warned me.

"Start what?" I fake a laugh, "I told you, Zild. We are over." I then ended the call and started to do the dishes again.

Shortly after, I received a text message from him.

From: Z

i'll be there in five

"Can I come in?" He asked me holding takeout outside of my apartment.

"Go ahead. But you're not welcomed." I rolled my eyes at him and left him on the door and sat at the sofa.

Guess my date with DJ is cancelled. Thanks, Zild.

I texted DJ about me having something to deal with today and if we can have a dinner date again instead.

How annoying. I already wore a perfect dress for our date then HE showed up.

"I told you I'd bring takeout here, why are you dressed like that?" He said while taking out the greasy Chinese food. Wow, he didn't even bother to buy something else than this greasy food. 

"I told you, I'm going somewhere!" I argued.

"Not anymore." He mumbled as he starts opening one of the containers.

"What is your problem? I said we're over! You have Shanne, for God's sake." I nearly shouted at him.

He looked at me and stopped chewing for a while, "Don't start."

I scoffed, "Unbelievable!- I hate you."

He chuckled, "You hate me but you're eating lunch with me."

"Why can't you just leave me?" I groaned at him still not touching the food he gave me.

He now placed his food down and looked at me, "If I love Shanne, I wouldn't go here every single damn night! I would have not find somebody else, Iya. Can't you see? I love you not Shanne."

"If you love me, break up with her!"

"Believe me Iya! Hindi kabit ang tingin ko sa'yo! Kung p'wede lang nakipagbreak na 'ko kay Shanne. Pero hindi p'wede. Hindi pa p'wede."

"Zild! I don't know what to say." I said still can't process lahat ng sinabi niya. Naguguluhan na ako.

He loves me. He really loves me.

He then cupped my cheeks with his hands, "Say that you love me as well, Iya. We'll really make this work... like we always do. I'm sorry, okay? I love you."

I love him, pero this is wrong. He's cheating with another girl and I can't live like that thinking that I'm hurting someone else while we're together.

"Zild.. I love you. I really do. But I can't be with you when I know that I'm hurting someone else."

I got my bag and went in front of my door, "I'm sorry, Zild. But this isn't gonna work out. I know I made a mistake of letting you in in the first place. But I need to do the right thing."

I opened the door, "You can leave your spare key in the counter, I really hope that you're gone when I get back. It's been nice knowing you, Zild Benitez. I wish you and Shanne the best." I smile at him. A sad one.

He told me loves me. But not enough that he can let go of Shanne. Because whether he really loves me or not...

He cheated.
