When a Man Hater Meets Her Fiancé

Chapter 20

*Serious Matters

Keira's POV

It's passed 9pm.

At andito ako sa veranda, di pa kasi makatulog.

I'm just trying to relax myself.

Trying to process, sink and think everything in my mind.

Alam mo naman..intelligent people find it hard to shut down their brains.

So here I am, gazing at the beauty of the beach even it's very dark outside.

And ofcourse, listening to the sound of the waves clashing along the shore.

"Why are you still up?"

Si Neo pala.

"Pinapasa ko sayo ang tanong." mapang asar ko nalang na sagot.

"Tsk. Don't mess with me Kei." he said with a warning tone.

Bipolar ang loko.

Pabago-bago ang mood.

Tsk tsk.

=________=

"Tch. Masama na ba kung gising padin ako? Ikaw nga din eh. Makapagsalita ka jan."

"Chill. Just asking."

*SILENCE*

Wala na kong balak magsalita.

Nagpapa-antok nga ako eh.

Di naman kasi ko naghahanap ng kadaldalan.

Like, duh!

=_______=

"Until when do we need to pretend lovers?"

*LUNOK!*

O_______O

Bakit ba bigla nalang sya nagtatanong ng ganun?

Di ko naisip na magtatanong sya tungkol dun.

=_______=

"I don't know." halos wala na kong boses habang sinasabi yon.

"What?" he looks really pissed.

Okay Keira, calm down.

Turn your maldita mode on.

*INHALE*

*EXHALE*

Now, face him.

Humarap na ko at..

"Look, I didn't expect that this would happen just because of me going to bar and having a good time with my friends. And I want to say sorry for that." tuluy-tuloy kong sabi.

Binigyan lang nya ko ng tingin na halatang di sya convinced.

=______=

Tch. Badtrip.

"I know that my decision of us pretending lovers is being selfish. Well, there's the idea of using you to cover the wrong things I did. Call me selfish, but I was just scared at that moment. I don't want the idea of my mom scolding me at the middle of that 'boring' village." I said emphasizing 'boring'.

"What do you wanna say Kei?" mukhang naiinip na tanong nya.

"Tch. So impatient, Neo." I said while smirking.

"Oh come on Kei, it's a serious thing! Don't use your attitude while talking about these serious matters."

Ow-kay.

He's deadly serious.

I mean, I'm intimidated by him right now.

But, just a little.

"Relax." I whisper.

Pumikit sya ng madiin.

O______O

Oh no.

Find the right words to say Kei!

"C-Can we just talk about it tomorrow? You know, it's getting late." naghahadali kong tanong.

"No. I want it NOW." he said in gritted teeth.

Calm Keira. Calm.

"Okay. I'm going to settle things down. I'm going to tell EVERYTHING to them." I said exasperated.

He gave me a look that he's waiting.

"Maybe tomorrow." mabilis na dagdag ko.

"And then?"

Good.

Mukhang bumalik na sya sa dati nyang normal na mood.

I feel relieved.

"What? Mayroon pa ba kong dapat sabihin?"

"How if they won't let us to go back to our normal lives? Living far from each other. I mean, no more 'fiancé' and 'wedding' things?"

Woah. Di ko naisip yon.

"Well, that's the problem." I whisper.

He runs his hand through his hair.

"Can I go inside now? It's freaking cold already." I asked to change the subject.

He just nodded.

I don't want to talk with him anymore about serious matters.

Really, he's damn scary!

What to do?
