Chapter 7: Jinx

"Ano ba 'yang pinagsasasabi mo?" Kunot na kunot ang noo ko habang tinatanong iyan. It's 6 in the evening and I just got home from work and just like what I have in mind earlier, I confronted him about his weird behavior.

And what I got for an answer surprised the hell out of me. I could not believe him!

"You like me." He shrug upon saying that. Nabitawan ko ang hawak na kaldero, handa na sanang mag-saing pero natigilan dahil sa sinabi niyang walang katotohanan. Why the hell would he say that I like him?!

"Seryoso ka ba jan? San mo naman nakuha ang kahibangan na yan?" Hindi na siguro maipinta ang mukha ko habang sinasabi iyon. He chuckled, that mocking smile irritates the hell out of me. Not to mention, that he was very confident. Ano ba ang ginawa ko para sabihin niyang gusto ko siya?

"C'mon, babe, you're obvious. I mean, the way you always look at me with a smile. The adoration in your eyes shows how much you're into me so don't deny it." He smirk. Umawang ang labi ko sa mga pinagsasasabi niya. This man is crazy!

I could not believe him! I really could not believe him! So that weird behavior earlier was all because he thought that I like him? And his reasons--- goodness! I wasn't even aware that I was staring at him with adoration! Are my eyes betraying me?! And for his freakin' information, I was just being friendly so I smile often! Ano ba ang gusto niya? Tarayan ko siya?

"I think you got it all wrong." I bursted his bubble but he blew another. I looked at him in awe.

Zac Radcliffe is a complete narcissist!

"Marami ng kagaya mo ang dumaan sa mga kamay ko, babe. And yeah yeah, you can deny all you want if it can save your ego but that doesn't change the fact that you're obvious. You like me! From the very first time you saw me, you like me." He was teasing and I really find it annoying.

I heave out a sigh and pinched the bridge of my nose, calming myself. His egoism is driving me insane!

"Look, Zac. Hindi kita gusto, okay? Kung ano man 'yang iniisip mo ay itigil mo na yan dahil walang katotohanan yan. I mean, you're handsome, fun to be with, has a very good body---"

"I know right." He cut me off and flexed his biceps. Hinalikan niya pa ito kaya napangiwi ako.

"But I don't like you." I continued, "Well, yeah I like you but not in a romantic way. My gestures, I was just being friendly. And I admire you alright but don't get the wrong idea. Admiration doesn't always turn to romance." I said.

Humalukipkip ito at tinitigan ako ng mariin. I raise both brows as if convincing him but he only shook his head. My lips twitch for a frown. This lunatic!

"You're only saying that because you got busted! Well sorry, babe, but this is what I'm good at. My eyes are like radar, alerting me when someone likes me or... loves me." He barked out a laughter at his last words. Umiling na lamang ako at hindi makapaniwalang may side siyang gan'to.

This type of arrogance is dangerous! God, I can just imagine him accusing every girl he'll met that they like him!

"Nakapay ka na." (Nababaliw ka na.)

"Hmm? What was that?" He said, teasing. I rolled my eyes, heavenwards, and turned my back at him. Bahala na siya kung anong iisipin niya. He can live with his delusional mind for I don't know how long, basta alam ko sa sarili ko na walang katotohanan ang sinasabi niya!

Bakit ko naman siya magugustuhan? I like someone else, for pete's sake!

"Can I help you with anything, babe?" He emphasized his endearment that made my jaw clench. He's still teasing!
