Spark Of Love (On-Hold)

Chapter 5: Club

WINTER'S POINT OF VIEW

"Winter, is it successful?" Flinn asked me referring to our business.

"Yeah, it is," I said to her.

"But why do you seem so unhappy?" Ugh! Napansin niya pala. Bumabagabag pa rin kasi sa akin yung lalaking tinawag na Aristotle. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe they also have an illegal business which is he is the boss and he is also called as Aristotle. Maybe their organization is not Poison. Yeah! Maybe that's just it.

"Me? Unhappy?" I asked her. She slightly nodded his head for a response. Tumawa na lamang ako para mapanatag ang loob niya. "No. I'm not unhappy. To tell you the truth, I am very happy kasi nga successful yung kinalabasan ng pakikipag-usap ko sa mga gustong manira sa club and of course, hindi na mawawala ang pinaghirapang club ni mommy." I feel like puno na naman ng tubig ang mata ko, but I don't wanna Flinn see me when I am vulnerable.

"So how can we celebrate your success?" Pag-iiba ng usapan ni Flinn. God knows how much I want to thank Flinn sa pag iiba niya ng topic.

"Uhmmm...Let's go to our club?" I asked her. Tumango-tango naman siya sa akin. "By the way, where is Lauren? I haven't seen her for a while." I wonder where she is right now. Napakalaki pa naman nitong mansion namin at ayokong libutin ito para lang mahanap siya. "Did she have her cellphone with her?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I'm planning to track her location in this house. Don't worry, I downloaded an application on your cellphones that I can track as long as you are here in this house," I said. "So, let's go?" I already started tracking her location and luckily she was here in this house. We found ourselves standing in front of the door of the room of Lauren.

Saktong kakatok si Flinn ng lumabas si Lauren na nakabihis ng pang-alis. "Lau, woㅡ" Hindi na natapos ni Flinn ang sasabihin niya ng magsalita si Lauren.

"I just have to go to the mall. I forgot to buy something yesterday." Kahit nagtataka ay tumango na lamang kami ni Flinn. I wonder what will she buyㅡor do there. Knowing Lauren, she won't forget something that she needed to buy.

Saglit na namayani ang katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa ni Flinn ng makaalis si Lauren. "So, paano ba yan? Tayong dalawa na lang?" Pagbabasag nito sa katahimikan.

"Yeah. Tayong dalawa na lang. We will go there after dinner. Do you mind if I'll sleep muna?" I said.

"No. Not at all. Sige na magpahinga ka na. I'm sure that you're tired right now." After she said those words ay pumunta na ako sa kwarto ko.

"Are you ready Winter?" Flinn asked me. Papunta na kami sa club ngayon and I don't know but I have a feeling that something bad will happen tonight. Hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin si Lauren and we didn't bother to contact her nor track her location.

"Of course," I answered, nodding my head.

Nauna ng pumasok sa loob ng club si Flinn dahil nag-ring ang phone ko at isang unregustered number ang nakita ko. "Hello?" I said to the person on the phone but I didn't get any response. "Hello? Who's this?" I repeated but still, I didn't get any response. Dala ng pagkairita ay binabaan ko na lamang ito.

Pagpasok ko ay hindi ko mahagilap si Flinn kaya naglibot na lang muna ako nagbabakasakaling makita ko siya o ako ang makita niya.

Saglit akong natigilan ng may makita akong isang pigura ng babae na kilala ko. Lalapit na sana ako kay Lauren ng may isa na namang pigura ng lalaki ang lumapit kay Lauren at inakbayan ito and to my surprise, it's Rye.

What are they doing here? Why are they here TOGETHER?

Nang mabalik ako sa huwisyo ay nakita ko silang naghahalikanㅡ Yeah! Rye and Lauren are kissing! And I also saw Flinn papunta sa direksyon ko.
