XXVII | Date?

Ruben Diced

"V-Vincent ano ba?! Lumayo ka nga!" Hindi ko na mapigilang sigawan si Vincent. Paano kasi, ang clingy. One minute, he's distant. Tapos ngayon, lapit nang lapit sa 'kin. Tapos parang gusto pa akong yakapin ng kupal.

Since the day I took him on the apartment, things change. And when I mean 'things,' I mean him. His attitude. Mas naging, makukit, clingy, mabait, ah basta. Andaming nagbago. Took me by surprise because I didn't really expect him to change into something like that.

Lumabas na ako sa apartment dahil kanina pa nakatingin sa amin sila ate Herra at ate Bailey. Paglabas ko sa apartment ay saktong labas ni Heather sa apartment niya.

"Ruben!" He happily said then walked to me. I feel Vincent's presence behind me.

Paglapit sa akin ni Heather ay bigla niya akong niyakap. I was surprised, hindi niya ako niyayakap nang biglaan.

"Who are you?" Tanong ni Vincent kaya humiwalay ako sa yakap. Seryoso ang mukha ni Vincent at matalim ang tingin kay Heather. Bakit?

"I'm Heather. Ruben's boyfriend." He cooly said. Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. Seriously?

Suddenly, an emotion crossed Vincent's eyes.

"May... May pupuntahan pa pala ako." Vincent said then left quickly.

Narinig kong tumawa si Heather sa tabi ko kaya sinuntok ko ang tiyan niya.

"Aw! What was that for?!" He demanded and rubbed his tummy.

"Bakit mo sinabi sa kaniya na boyfriend kita?!"

He chuckled. "I knew that he's Vincent. Ginawa ko 'yon para pagselosin sana siya. It looks like I succeded." A smile crept on his face.

"Wow? Si Vincent? Magseselos? Pwede ba 'yon?"

He nodded and flashed me another smile.

"Trust me. I know how guys get jealous." He winked. I rolled my eyes.

Nung nakaraan, ikinuwento ko kay Heather na may gusto akong tao. And yeah, si Vincent nga 'yon. Tumawa pa nga ang loko at sinumpa ako na maghihiwalay din kami. Duh, wala pa ngang kami eh. And we will never be together.

Nang magvibrate ang cellphone ko aya agad ko itong kinuha sa bulsa ko. Nakita ko sa notifications ang pangngalan ni Vincent kaya tinignan ko ito.

Vincent Villarueva
Susunduin kita mamaya,
may pupuntahan tayo. Be
ready by 6:00 pm.

Napataas ang kilay ko sa nabasa. Since when did Vincent ordered me like that? Hindi naman kami ganun kaclose diba? Kaya nakakapagtaka kasi bigla niya akong chinat. If you're windering how he sent me a text, bumili kasi agad siya ng bagong cellphone. Mayaman sila eh.

"Hmm, Mr. Lover Boy is asking Ruben Diced on a date? Well, well, well..." Heather muttered, making my eyes to shoot daggers at him.

"What? I'm just stating facts here." He cooly said. Yabang naman ng taong 'to. Akala mo hindi nagdrama sa 'kin nung nakaraan eh 'no?

"Manahimik ka nga diyan!" Suway ko sa kaniya.

"Okay okay. Mag-ayos ka na dahil 5:00 pm na. I also have some errands to run." He tapped my shoulder. I cocked my left eyebrow at him.

"When you mean errands, you mean a pussy to fuck?" I smirked at him. He just laughed it off and told me to fuck off.

Ate Herra once asked me kung nagkagusto ba daw ako kay Heather. Honestly, I'd say, a little bit. Because ofcourse, who wouldn't be bothered by this adonis face? Absolutely no one. That's one thing I liked about him, also his attitude, he's thoughtful and such, but he's a dick so that's kind of a no for me. But anyhow, pumasok na ako sa loob at naligo na.

After taking a "massive" bath that went about almost solid 30 minutes—basically not my type of bath duration—but because of Vincent, siyempre gusto ko naman malinis ako diba?

At eto po ako ngayon, nahihirapan pumili nang damit. Madami naman akong damit, pero hindi ko alam kung anong susuotin. But here I am, sticked with something "common" in my perspective.

I'm wearing oversized hoodie, a skinny jeans, and a pair of kicks. I know, I know, it sucks. But what can I do? Hindi naman niya sinabi na magd-date kami eh. Let alone na parang mangyayari 'yon. Baka dadalhin niya lang ako sa kung saan tapos papatayin niya ako diba? So I have to feel comfortable for atleasr, one last time before I die.

Nagvibrate ulit ang phone ko and it's Vincent. Nasa labas na daw siya. Kaya lumabas na din ako.

And there he is, looking downright gorgeous. He's sitting on the hood of his car and he's staring at me. I wasn't really expecting that this'll happen. Kailan pa ba ako niyaya sa labas ni Vincent? Never. Diba? The last time na sumakay ako sa kotse niya ay nung birthday pa ni Chris.

Nang makalapit ako sa kaniya ay dumiretso ako sa shotgun seat. He also emtered and once the car was started, we drove off.

"Teka, saan ba tayo pupunta?" Lumingon ako sa kaniya at nakatingin lang siya ng diretso sa daan. Pero nang marinig niya ang tanong ko ay bigla itong ngumisi.

"We're going to our house. My parents wants to have a dinner with you."
