Diane's POV

He is such a freak! Matino pa ba ang utak niya? Nababaliw na yata siya. He intentionally did that, he fucking acted like we were fucking while Andrew is on the line! And what's worst was when he touched me, he kissed my bare skin! Dios mío, perdóname! (My God, forgive me!). Alam ba niyang kinilabutan ako sa ginawa niya? My gastrointestinal butterflies just rumbled throughout my stomach and that's an insane feeling to begin with. Of course, he has an effect on me. He is Jacob Mondragon and is from one of the riches family of businessmen all over the world! A hunk bachelor, bakla nga lang. Inspite of that case, he has all the things that a woman would have ever wanted. But I am a Fortalejo, a gorgeous Fortalejo... and I am proud to say that I turned him on without even trying. Hahaha, bad me, bad!

“But I still hate him! He made fun of me,” I hissed before I reached for the knob.

I heave a sigh. I know, when I open this door, I'll see Andrew waiting for me. I don't know if he'll look up to me the same way he used to after what my insane bestfriend have just done, but I hope, he'll do.

“Huh!” paghinga ko ulit nang malalim bago tuluyang binuksan ang pinto.

He's there, leaning on the wall beside my unit's door, literally in front of me. He's looking at his feet as his hands are placed inside his pockets. He's wearing a long-sleeved polo which color has paired the dress I am wearing, and a black jeans. Napangiti ako nang makita ko ang kabuohan niya, so handsome. And then he looked at me.

“Hi,” I greeted him.

Tumayo siya nang maayos at ngumiti bago ako tiningnan pababa, “You look beautiful as always.”

“T–Thanks.” Damn, why am I stuttering?

“Ahm, I'm sorry about earlier,” pagsisimula ko bago isinara ang pinto ni Jac. “Jac was just trying to send you away. Ugh, you know him!” I said and it made him chuckle.

“I knew it was something like that,” he said, smiling handsomely.

I unconciously bit my lower lip as embarrassment still fills me. Hindi ko namalayan na nakalapit na pala siya, holding my shoulders, making me look at him.

“Diane,” he called.

Ang gwapo niya and we are so close. I can smell his minty breath. Gosh, he is really handsome. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, parang hihimatayin ako. Should I act like one? With that, I'll know how it feels to be carried by a handsome man you like, how it feels to feel his body and be drown on his manly scent. Damn, what am I thinking? That doesn't feel right, I'm crazy.

“Yes?”

“I think, I don't like you anymore,” he said that broke my heart.

“Huh? You don't like me?” I said with disappointment.

You know what, this is my first heartbreak. I really want to cry like a baby but I can't let him see my vulnerable side. Fudge, I really want to cry!

“Y–You don't....” Uulitin ko sana pero hindi ko nagawa.

Shit, Diane, don't be weak! You can't be weak! I can't be weak, but I am weak. Damn, I can't look at him.

My head bowed before I mumbled, "You don't like me anymore."

Heyyy, I think I'm gonna cry.

“I don't,” sabi niya bago hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi ko upang ibalik ang tingin ko sa kaniya. “I don't like you.”

Bakit nakangiti pa siya? Masaya ba siyang i-unlike ako?

“But I love you,” he said.

Hindi ako agad nakapag-react at nanatili lang akong nakatitig sa kaniya. I don't how I should react from what he said. I am surprised and my heart feels like it's in cloud nine.
