CL SERIES 1: The Golden Lies

CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3

"This girl right beside me is my girlfriend," I was devastated and shocked. Why? Why did he suddenly introduced me as his girlfriend? Di ko namalayan na lumapit na pala siya sa'kin kanina. Is he putting me in trouble?

Napatingin ako kila Savannah. And they were asking me the same question, what is happening?

"Mr. Alejo, you probably mistaken about the relationship we have. We're not in a----" napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng hinila niya ako patayo at inakbayan pa. Naramdaman ko ang paghinga niya sa tenga ko.

"Makisabay ka na lang, naiinis na ako kay Stephanie," okay? What's the real score between them?

"Then bakit mo kailangang idamay pa ako dito? Your mess isn't mine," bulong ko sa kaniya.

Napatingin ako kay Stephanie, she's about to cry for sure. She recently accepted rejection from the guy she's drooling in, from the guy she likes to be exact. I suddenly felt pitying her. But it disappeared when she looked at me with furious and angry eyes. Wala naman akong ginagawang masama ah!

"Of all people, bakit ikaw pa Kairyeen?" she's hating me, I know. I can't blame her. She stormed out the resto.

Nang maramdaman ko pang nakaakbay si Yuan sakin, tinanggal ko na agad yon at tinulak siyang bahagya.

"What is this again, Mr. Alejo?" I have my arms crossed and raised my left brow at him.

"Sorry for the mess," he said.

"The sorry won't change Stephanie's hatred towards me," I can't stand this anymore.

"Sorry," again? Why do people say sorry when they know it won't change anything?!

Napahinga na lang ako ng malalim. Humarap ako kila Sidra. And they're smiling like idiots, wtf!

"He's not my boyfriend and don't think of------" palagi niya bang puputulin ang mga sasabihin ko?

"We're gonna have a date. And I have to explain to my girlfriend. Bye everyone," agad niya na akong hinila palabas ng resto. But I heard my best friends saying,

"Huwag mo ng ibalik!"

"Get married agad!"

"Use protection!" tanginamo Kish. Bastos ng bunganga mo.

"Sanaol po!"

Nang makapasok kami sa elevator, I felt awkward. Nakahawak pa din kamay niya sa kamay ko.

"Child abuse ka ba?" tanong ko.

"What the heck?" gulat na tanong niya. Hindi siya nainformed sa itatanong ko.

"Mr. Alejo, I'm just 17. Incase you don't know," I smiled to him. Yung pilit na ngiti.

"Wehhh?" is he doubting me?

"Anong weh? Menor de edad pa lang ako 'no!" I said at binawi yung kamay ko na hawak niya. Chansing na siya gosh!

"Hindi halata sorry," ano tingin niya sakin senior citizen?

"Hindi ako senior citizen, kung yan ang iniisip mo," narinig kong tumawa siya dahil sa sinabi ko. Shocks! First time kong marinig tawa niyaaa!

"Akala ko nasa late 50's ka na," pang-aasar niya.

"Pwede bang payakap?" tanong ko at ngumiti sa kaniya.

"Sure," he spread his arms and waiting for me to hug him.

"Payakap sa leeg," dugtong ko. Ako naman yung tumawa ng makita kong umasa siyang yayakapin ko. HAHAHAHA.

Hindi na siya nagsalita at hinila na lang ulit ako nang bumukas yung elevator. Kanina pa 'to hila ng hila sakin. Nasa 2nd floor na kami ngayon ng mall.
