Misguided Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 7

Phae

"Ano 'yon? Pakiulit?"

My brother smiled impatiently at me and said, "Phae, pwede bang pakisundo sa airport si Scor, 1 PM sharp dapat nando'n ka na."

"What the f*ck?!"

"You know I don't like it when you curse!" He looked at me pointedly and I mouthed him the word fuck once again just to piss him off. Inihagis niya sa'kin ang ballpen mula sa mesa ng klinika niya bilang ganti. Pagkatapos ay muli niyang hinarap ang Mac niya at inabala ang sarili sa pagta-trabaho.

I slammed my hands on his table to get his undivided attention.

"What?" iritable nang tanong niya.

"Ayoko!"

"What do you mean ayaw mo?" he leaned back on his lounge chair and swung it so that he was facing me. "You asked me how you could help me with finding Charlie eventhough I told you not to get yourself involved in the situation. Ngayong binibigyan kita ng task, sasabihin mo ayaw mo? Gago ka ba?"

Sa sobrang inis ko dahil hindi ko magawang saktan ang kapatid ko ay sinipa ko na lang ang table niya. "Ayoko nga, e! Sa dinami-dami naman ng pwede kong maitulong sa inyo, ang pagsundo sa anak ni Satanas ang ipagagawa mo sa'kin? Ano 'ko? Uber? Bakit kailangan pa ng taga-sundo ng demonyong 'yon?"

"Ang bibig mo sabi, Phaedra. Inaano ka ba ni Scor?" sita na naman niya. Bumaling siyang muli sa laptop niya. He's clearly not taking me seriously, it's pissing me off! "You have thirty minutes and fifty seconds to get your ass to the airport, Phae, you know Scor doesn't like waiting."

"Eh di manigas siya do'n! Ang yaman yaman niya, wala siyang driver?!" humalukipkip ako.

"Thirty minutes and twenty seconds, Phae."

I smirked. "Tubuan sana siya ng ugat."

"Thirty minutes and fifteen seconds."

I snub my chin. "Matuyuan sana siya ng dugo at tumirik ang mata!"

"Thirty minutes and ten seconds."

"Hindi ko siya susunduin, Kuya. Stop the countdown, alright?" umirap ako. Bakit ko susunduin ang talipandas na 'yon? We're not even close! I don't want him thinking like I'm at his beck and call just because I picked him up from the airport. Which seemed so ridiculous now that I'm thinking about it. But I still would not pick him up!

Drae took off his glasses and glared at me. "Ano ba, Phaedra? Susunduin mo si Scor o gagalitin mo 'ko? I'm working here. I'm busy. I have a twelve hour surgery later. Kung maisisingit ko lang 'yan sa schedule ko, hindi ko yan iuutos sa'yo."

"You can't make me do it, kuya." I said in full conviction with my arms crossed in front of my chest.

"Really?"

"Damn it!" I slammed my brake and rolled down my windows so that Scor would see me when he comes. Hindi ako gago na lalabas dun para salubungin siya.

Sino ba siya? mabuti kung may pasalubong sa akin ang bwisit na 'yon!

Ito namang magaling kong kapatid—the master manipulator himself—nagkunwari pang nagtatampo. Naku! Bwisit na bwisit ako! Alam niya kasing hindi ko siya matatanggihan pag gano'n. Lalung lalo na pag nagsimula ng siya sa main event niya. . .Sumbatan time.

This is so f*cking irritating! This is so unfair!

I was already pissed from seeing my father and his new bimbo, now I have to see another devil incarnate.

Ano ba'ng nagustuhan ko kay Scor noon? Bakit ko siya naging crush? Alam ko naman na dati pa, ganito na talaga kasama ang ugali niya. Isa siyang malaking bwiset. Nagtataka tuloy ako kung bakit gustung-gusto ko siya noon. Dahil lang sa gwapo siya? Gano'n ba 'ko kababaw?
