You Don't Own Me (YQS1: Accoysa Yu)

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter 18

Acoyssa's POV

It's almost five o'clock in the evening nang tumunog ang cellphone ko na nakapatong sa bedside table ko.

Tumatawag si Levi, what did he want this time?

"Hi sweetie, are you busy?", tanong nito ora mismo pagkasagot ko ng tawag.

"Uhm, not really. Why? Miss me?", tanong ko dito.

"Yeah. Uh, darn! I'm missing you so bad. Can we talk through video call? I want to see you.", puno ng lambing na sabi nito.

Oh man, how can I resist him?

"Alright, I'll be the one who will call. Just wait", pumayag ito saka ko pinatay ang tawag.

I just refresh myself, wait? Why do I even feel conscious? He's just a no one!

"Going to party?", I scream as I heard someone talk. It's Luv.

"Gulat na gulat? Grabe ha? So ano? Bakit nag-aayos ka?", patuloy na sabi pa nito bago ako tiningnan mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Don't mind me. Bakit ka naman nandito? It's unethical for you to don't knock first. Basta ka na lang napasok.", sagot ko dito bago umirap.

"Heh! Uso din kayang magsarado ng pinto. Kasalanan ko bang open 'yon? Parang nangwe-welcome pa nga ng bisita eh. Next time, lock mo kung gusto mo.", mataray na sabi din nito.

"Whatever!", inis na sabi ko sa kanya bunsod ng matinding pagka-pahiya.

Why the heck do I always forget to close my door?

Una si Meesh, ngayon si Luv.

Normal na ba para sa mga kapatid ko na sumulpot na parang kabute?

I won't wonder if one day it is Eden who'll suddenly appears inside my room.

I just head to my restroom before deciding to call Levi.

As I finished and return inside to get my phone;

"Sweetie? When did you dye your hair? Or are you wearing a wig? Nagpupuyod ka pala?", nagtataka at sunod-sunod na tanong ni Levi.

He is currently talking to my silly younger twin sister via video call.

"It's just a wig. I'll hang up for a moment. Call 'ya later", pang-gagaya ni Luv kung paano ako magsalita.

Nagtataka man ay sumang-ayon din ang kausap nito sa kabilang linya.
Then she ended the call!

Poor Levi, napag-tripan ni Ayllauv Yu. Ugh!

"You brat! Napaka-mean mo talaga, Luv! You're an intruder trespassing in my personal space!", kompronta ko dito.

I'm groaning terribly. I even grit my teeth.

"Of course not, I'm actually giving you a favor. Your phone rang so I picked it up. Malay ko bang 'sweetie' mo pala ang tumatawag.", naka-ngisi na sabi nito.

Tuloy tuloy pa ang mga grunts nito saying I'm such a petty liar because I'm lying to them. Paano kasi ay ilang beses ko daw itinanggi sa kanila nina Meesh at Eden na may romantic relationship ako kay Levi.

"Shut up, Luv. Ang ingay mo! There's nothing going on between me and Levinson. We're just friends, plain and simple.", sagot ko dito.

"Sino bang kino-convince mo? Ako o ang sarili mo? If you're not honest with me and the others then at least be true to yourself", dismayadong wika nito.

She's so frank as ever.

"Come on sissy, stop acting like you don't care. First, assure to yourself what do you really feel towards that guy. Next thing, set up the label", suhestyon nito.

Nagpalipas pa ito ng ilang minuto bago iiling-iling na umalis sa kwarto ko.

Half hour had passed before I call Levi, this time I knew what I wanted.

"Sweetie! What took you so long?", tanong nito na bakas sa mukha ang pagka-inip dahil sa tagal nang pagtawag ko.

"Levi,  we need to talk", seryosong sabi ko dito.

"We're already talking. You look exhausted. What's the matter?", puno ng pag-aalala ang reaksyon nito.

"Can you make it here by New year?", naguluhan ang hitsura nito bago mukhang nagulat.

At least he still said yes.
