If We're Meant

"Hey,"

Shivers ran down my spine when I heard his voice. Jexon's smiling face became stiff. Both of us were surprised by his presence.

"Why are you here?" Jexon growled. His knuckles turning into a ball.

"Oh, am I not allowed here? I didn't know you owned this place," Veign eyed Jexon.

Them in the same room isn't a good sight. I gasped when I saw Jexon stand, "Hey, hey. Can the both of you please calm down?" Pumagitna na ako. Diniinan ko talaga nang pag pronounce ang 'please'

Jexon sighed as he looked at me and sat down forcefully. Veign looked at me apologetically, animo'y nahihiya sa ginawa nila.

Aba dapat lang talagang mahiya kayo.

Akmang uupo na sana si Veign sa tabi ko nang nag salita si Jexon, "Ba't ka uupo dyan?" His brow furrowed.

"Kasi may upuan?" Veign sarcastically answered. I mentally made a face palm because of what he said.

"Let him, Wayne," I said, making Jexon look at me, confused.

"What?" Tanong nya. Animo'y hindi nya ako narinig.

I sighed, "Let him," I repeated.

Jexon eyed at me in disbelief. Then he laughed, which was full of sarcasm. "Narinig ko ba 'yon ng maayos? Teka lang," He said as he shoved his index finger inside his ear and moved it in an up and down motion, "Hersh parang nabingi ako sa kakasigaw ko kanina sa sasakyan. Please repeat."

"Okay na kami ni Veign."

He was dumbfounded, "Tangina?" He cussed, eyeing at me intently. He whipped his index finger and pointed it to Veign, "Okay na kayo?" He was about to ask more questions but it seemed that he has realized something, "Oh. Okay," He stood up and fetched his car key from the table.

I glanced at Veign as I hurriedly followed Jexon which was now outside the diner, "Wayne!" I called him. But he didn't look back.

"Huy alam mo bang ang bilis mong lumakad?" Biro ko, hoping that it would get his attention. But still no avail.

He reached his Audi, making me dash to him, "Wayne naman e," Hingal-hingal kong bungad.

He looked at me and forced a smile, "Oh, ba't ka nandito? Balik ka na 'dun," He said casually. It wasn't sarcastic nor fake. Pero kahit papaano ay nararamdaman ko pa rin ang galit nya.

"Sorry," I mumbled under my breath, hands fidgeting.

"Ba't ka nagso-sorry?" He asked, his forehead creasing.

"Kase 'di ko sinabi sa'yo agad," I pouted, "Tanggapin mo na ang sorry ko, gago. My pride is so bruised right now," Pagdadrama ko.

"Bahala ka dyan. Ang pride mo lang talaga ang importante sa'yo," He opened the driver's seat. Nag panic naman ako dahil isasara na nya ang car door. The first thing that came to my mind to make him stay was the most fucked up choice I made my whole life.

"Araaay!!" Sigaw ko nang naipit ang binti ko. Mangiyak-ngiyak ako dahil malakas pa naman ang pag-sara ni Jexon sa car door.

"Fuck!" He cussed as he opened the door widely, "Bakit mo 'yon ginawa?!" Asik nya habang tumungo sa akin na nakaupo sa kalye.

"Ikaw na nga 'tong s-sinusuyo, nagagalit k-ka pa," Utal-utal kong sambit. Sa sobrang sakit ng pagkaipit ng binti ko ay napaiyak na talaga ako.

"Oh ba't ka umiiyak?" Pagsusungit nya.

Ba't ba ang sungit-sungit nitong gagong 'to?

"Ba't ang sungit-sungit mo?! Para kang napi-PMS!" I shot back holding back my sobs of frustration. "Mag e-explain na nga e. Tangina," I murmured. I winced when I felt a sudden pang in my leg again.
