Splendiferous (Legazpi #1)

"Gay?" I snorted and looked at him with a disgusted expression. "You've got to be kidding me, X."

"Why? Almost one fourth of attractive men in the world turned out gay."

"So you find me attractive?" I shot back, smirking. "Baka ikaw ang bakla sa ating dalawa?"

He looked at me with disgust. "I can't even imagine myself kissing with the same sex… lalo na sayo. It sickens the hell out of me."

"Ano pa ako?" I arched a brow. "Kissing my girlfriend's brother? Gross."

Well, a while ago, I actually imagined kissing you, and that also sickens me, fucker.

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"Not because I'm looking at you, it does mean that I'm staring and I'm gay," pagpapalusot ko.

"Maybe you're really not gay," he pursed his lips. "A girl, maybe?"

Natigilan ako sa sinabi niyang iyon at parang naputulan ng dila. Good thing that I pulled myself together and faced him without any hint of nervousness.

"Ginawa mo namang tomboy ang kapatid mo," inismiran ko ito.

I immediately went to the driver's seat to end the conversation. Mahirap na dahil baka sa isang iglap, mabuking na ako nito. "May pupuntahan ka ba bago umuwi?" tanong ko rito nang makasakay siya sa shotgun seat.

"Club," he answered. "We'll drink a bit."

I drove to Revel at The Palace where he said Bronze and the others were waiting. It only took a couple of minutes since there's no traffic. Pagpasok sa loob ay namataan ko na doon si Bronze, Lix, at Rave. Our friends.

Babago pa lamang akong upo ay binungad na agad ako ng tanong ni Rave. "You have a twin sister?"

Hindi pa man ako nakakasagot ay bigla namang sumingit si Lix. "Dude, your sister's beautiful."

"Wait, wait. You got a sister?" Xerxes asked me. "Alam ko namang may kapatid ka pero hindi mo naman sinabing babae."

"You didn't ask," I answered in a very chill manner.

Ngayon ko lamang napagtanto na hindi pala alam ng mga ito na may kapatid si Arlszent na babae. Well that's already expected. Tons of guys do not tell their so-called friends about the girls close to them, especially if these friends are known to be womanizers.

"She's damn sexy," Bronze blurted so I shifted my gaze on him. He placed his phone down the table so we could see it. I supposed he saved this picture from my Instagram post last summer.

I was wearing there an aqua two-piece bikini and sitting at the edge of the boat. Nakatalikod ako rito ng bahagya habang ang ulo ko ay nakabaling sa gilid na tila may tinatanaw. It's a stolen shot taken by my friend, Garri when my friends and I went to Palawan during the last week of May.

Suddenly I remembered my friends, I miss them.

Bronze swiped right on the screen to see another photo of mine, it was taken after my workout at the gym. I just took a mirror selfie in that. May iba pa siyang mga ipinakita at napansin ko lamang na parang halos lahat ng mga sinave niyang photo ay iyong puro mga maiikli, tipid, o kaya naman ay revealing ang suot ko.

"She's rocking those braces, man," Bronze commented. "Unlike Lovira who looks like a geek when she smiles with her braces visible, remember her, X?" he nudged at Xerxes.

"The worst in fucking," Xerxes laughed.

They're all now talking about the Lovira girl and they're all comparing all the girls that they've played with. I didn't bother listening to those because I might just end up slapping their faces.
