Gambling With Love

Chapter 14: Sorry

Rhea Dorielle Andrade

"KAYA naman pala galit ka sa akin..." Vin blurted out while he confidently leaned on the lamp post beside him. "May iba ka naman palang gusto."

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang marinig 'yun. The obvious irritation coming out from his statement made me rolled my eyes heavenly.

"What are you doing here? Sinusundan mo ba 'ko?" I asked while trying not to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Bakit naman kita susundan? Napadaan lang ako kasi kukunin ko 'yung kotse ko. And then I accidentally saw you. So you like blond guys, huh? "

"Are you freakin' kidding me? And who are you to say that I like blond guys? In case you didn't know, I prefer guys who are a little older than me. I don't have time to deal with kids. And..."

Teka nga! Bakit ko ba 'to sinasabi sa kanya?! I should just head home right now, it's getting dark!

Hindi ko na tinapos pa 'yung sasabihin ko at agad ding tumalikod at naglakad palayo sa kanya.

"Wait, where are you heading to?"

"I'm going home. Kung wala ka nang ibang gagawin maliban sa punahin ako at magmodel diyan sa lamp post, mas mabuti pang umuwi na lang ako."

I heard him chuckled for a bit. Hindi pa man din ako nakakalayo ay wala sa sariling napalingon akong muli sa gawi niya, na talagang pinagsisisihan ko. I was just wondering if he was gone there but I'm wrong.

I saw how his lips rose in amusement while he crossed his arms on his usual spot.

"You really know how to amuse me, do you?" Lumapit siya sa akin habang hindi pa rin nawawala ang ngiti sa labi niya.

"I... I was just checking if you really got away. Malay ko bang sinusundan mo 'ko?"

"I won't let you get away with it."

"Huh?"

"You seriously think I'll let you go out with another guy?" Nawala ang ngiti sa labi niya at napalitan ito ng pagka-inis.

"Ano bang—"

"Demi and Garreth knows that you're my girlfriend, Rhea. Anong sasabihin mo sa kanila kapag nakita ka nilang may kasamang ibang lalaki, ha?"

"They didn't saw me!"

"But what if they did?"

"I'll them he's my friend!" Even though he's not. But well, he introduced his self to me, so he's not a stranger anymore and can be considered as a friend now.

"May kaibigan bang hinahalikan sa pisngi?! I saw you kissed him earlier!"

"I can— Wait... You saw that?"

"I saw everything."

"Ibig sabihin, sinusundan mo talaga ako!"

"That's not the point here."

"It is! You said you weren't stalking me but you actually did."

"Okay, fine. I did stalked you... a bit. And so? Does that make you feel happy?"

"You think I'm happy?!" I sighed after hearing myself raising my tone on him.

Napatingin tuloy ako sa paligid, and we were lucky enough dahil walang masyadong dumadaan sa part na 'to dahil kanina pa kami dito nagbabangayan.
