“Okay, Lus, you remembered Baby?”

NAUPO si Nel sa sofa na katapat ng couch kung saan ako nakasandal, with my feet propped, one over the other, on the sala table.

“Yes, what about that resting bitch face, two-timing escort, slash bitch again, slash slut?” I asked, my eyebrows raised up high.

She chuckled at how I described Baby Jane, or BJ. I remembered I called him Blow-Job behind her back in the past. Bahagya pang napailing ang ulo niya, like I’m exaggerating things, which I don’t.

Baby Jane fucked almost all of my male professor back in college, just so makakuha siya ng uno. That sick bitch! Nag-iinit pa rin ang dugo ko sa kaniya. Isa sa mga kaibigan ni Wynona, ang mortal enemy ni Millicent. Napailing na lang ako sa memory ng college life ko.

“Come on, she’s not that bad. She isn’t an escort.” Nel answered still cackling like they’re best-friends-forever now.

The thing about Nel? She had way too much faith for everybody, and it’s just annoying me so much. Too much sweet disposition in her, that when everyone turned their heads from her and toward mine, they immediately go back to look at her. Ganoon kasama ang aura ko. Parang hinihigop ko sila, and Nel’s appearance is way fucking peaceful and beaut. Na para bang sinalo raw ni Nel ang lahat ng positive energy sa mundo, at walang itinira sa little sister niya.

Although, they didn’t even deserve her faith in them, they still get it. Pakiramdam ko ang weak shit ng kapatid ko, sa tuwing nagpapatawad siya ng taong ilang beses siyang ginago. Ganoon siya ka-optimist. At tangina lang ng mga opportunist.

Especially, Baby Jane. She didn’t deserve my sister’s forgiveness.

Considering, she’s Gio’s ex-girlfriend before my fucking saint sister. Tapos, ilang beses pang naghook-up in the past si Baby Jane at Gio, kahit mag-on na sila ng kapatid ko! The nerve of that fucking guy and that sick bitch.

Napaikot ko na lang ang mga mata ko bago ko inabot ang tsaa kong nakapatong sa coaster sa mesa kung saan nakaprop ang dalawa kong paa.

“Ano bang meron?”

I made my face blank as possible. Trying to let her know na hindi na uubra sa akin ang mga pa-cute niya o paawa para makuha ang gusto niya.

Huwag lang magkakamali si Nel na sabihing iparerenta rin niya ang apartment kay Baby Jane. Subukan lang niya, dahil kami ang magkakasubukang dalawa.

Alam na niya kung saang kangkungan pupulutin ang katawan nila ni Baby Jane kapag nagkataon.

“She... and her fiancé’s going abroad... well, she asked me to catsit and I can’t refuse. She offered money, and we needed funds, so I accepted it.” she smiled innocently at me.

When I didn’t respond to what she just said, she started drumming her fingers on the table where my feet were propped up.

She knew I hated that.

She knew the sound of her sharp nails drumming on the table, where my feet were propped up, irritates the hell out of me, dahil nagba-vibrate iyon sa tainga ko. She did it even more louder and harder. I flinched back.

I hated that sound so much in the whole world. I hated that more than I hated Baby Jane in general.

I gave her my most smug look.

“Can you just fucking stop already?” I bursted out.

Ngumisi ang gaga. Hindi pa rin niya tinigilan. She’s still waiting for my response. Sa inis ko ay sinipa ko na, gamit ang left foot ko, ang mga daliri niya sa mesa.
