How To Kill Love

Chapter 18- UnExpected

"So yeah, that's what happened. I admit that I kept on smiling around him. I couldn't stop smiling!" I explained as I ran out of words after telling them what he said. "Awe, so he does find you cute after all. Okay. Okay. This ain't some friendly hang out! Seems like he wants something more out of it. Smelled any unusual perfume from him?" Casey giggled together with Mary who is chugging her cola. "We were beside bushes of red roses, so I smelled fragrances everywhere." I replied. "Having a scent is creepy sometimes and remembering how people smell like is crazy." I added.

"Sup people!" Harith exclaimed as he banged the table in front of us. "What's the chitchat?"

I then explained to Harith what happened all over again while Casey looked worried all of a sudden. "Oh." Harith responded.

"Anyway, I'd still pick black roses over red roses." I grinned. "Because black roses are rare to find."

"Yeah, black roses are rare to find." Harith replied with a grin as well. "It's 5pm now. We better get going."

"You go ahead. I have to go somewhere." I replied.

"So how'd the little date go?" Darkness asked as I sat on the round chair in front of him. "Catching up and he said we'll be meeting again tomorrow." I replied. "That's crazy and good luck. If ever he does mess up again, I'll be here to punch the hell outta him." He whined with fists on top of the table. "Right. No violence please." I grinned. "Enjoy yourself with some whiskey while I'll be dealing with some punks outside." Darkness informed as he shifted the table from normal to bizarre with whiskey and a shot glass already.

As I was drinking pure whiskey under the moonlight, a pale looking girl who is sobbing came to pay the bar a visit. She seems familiar but not really as she wiped her tears with a
piece of cloth she found in the ground. A sad scenery for a girl who just entered a bar with so much party people. As she sobbed, men didn't want to flirt with her because comforting her will be part of it. I had this feeling that I had to go to her and comfort her because she just looks the same as my age. "Hey Miss, are you okay?" I questioned as I tapped her back softly with an embrace. "No." She squealed as I asked a stupid question. "Do you need a girl to girl talk because I could be a confidant." I grinned as I was trying to give out some positive vibes to this girl. "I heard this bar gives out the best alcohol to forget screwed up things. I think that's one thing I'd order before we talk." She forced out a smile and gave me Php1000 and said the rest would be a tip. "Coming right up." I replied as I ran for some Balkan vodka, Hapsburg Gold Label Premium Reserve Absinthe, Bruichladdich X4 Quadrupled Whisky, everclear and spirytus shot glasses.

"So what happened girl? I'm here to spread love and not hate in the bar." I grinned. "Girl to girl talk it is." She replied.

"Have you tried thinking of someone as your future husband already even before because the world seems to give you a reason to love him forever? Yeah, until this guy, this jerk, this dickhead decided to break up with you for some girl in his past." She sobbed more with tears. "We started out as a couple during the summer. I was in the airport for Australia since my parents work there and I came across my childhood friend who was also going in the same flight to visit Australia. We used to be close friends when he was new to the school in Linkln field when were 10 then fitting in seemed to be so easy for him that he became popular like me. He was good looking so as I, so we were paired up most of the time during events. I've always wanted to tell him how I felt during grade school, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship so keeping it a secret for the other half of my life is worth it. During the summer as we gave our ticket to aboard the plane, I decided to confess to him on the spot since I didn't want to keep the feeling buried in my chest forever. I told him how I felt then he said he loved me back ever since. We held hands in the airplane and he slept on my shoulder in one of the hours. We then decided to be together since it seemed so right. Our parents were fine because we are both turning college anyway, so everything will be mature as possible. Our relationship then broadened that he started talking about this one girl he liked during his high school days in Cebu. Fuck her! I then had a feeling that if he will come across this girl one day, he'll be gone and he'll go for her because she seems so perfect that she even plays the video games he plays."

"Then what?" I asked as I tapped her back softly even more.

"He saw her in the same school except in college then he told me just a few hours ago that he wants a break up since he thinks things will not work out for the both of us when the truth is that his heart has always been for the other girl while I was just a con." She explained as more sobs came out and customers complained with their stares.

"I'm Daisy Cunningham by the way, but you can call me Daisy. My ex-boyfriend's name is so fucked up 'cause it's literally Ash as in burnt shit or something. Fuck boys!" She announced as she raised the whiskey in front of me. "To all fuck up men!"

"Shit. This can't be." I whispered with an underrated tone because what if she's referring to the same Ash. "Who Ash exactly?" I asked. "Fucking Ash Joren." She replied. "Fuck him!" She shouted as she slowly lost her sober self.

His ex is in my domain.
